The all-digital Xbox Series S is currently the best console deal in the UK thanks to Black Friday deals. Compared to current-gen consoles and Nintendo Switch, that’s quite a steal. The discount makes it much cheaper than the Nintendo Switch (£259.99), and half the price of the PS5 digital version (£389.99). There’s surely something to be said about Xbox consoles getting huge discounts when Sony increased the price of PS5 units by £30 in August…...

Gaming Mouse plays a special role in gaming pc setup. A core accessory exclusively manages direction and control. To an extent, Gaming Mouse is a special category for gamers who prefer to have precision on their desk. Choosing the best gaming mouse can be challenging due to what amount of features they promise and the attached price tag. Certain brands other than those who are already strong in the market tries to bring more on the plate....

Capcom has announced that Monster Hunter World has topped 11 million shipments and digital sales worldwide. It’s another big milestone for the beastly adventurer, which launched in January last year on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, with a PC release following a few months later. The game hit record-breaking numbers at launch, becoming Capcom’s fastest-selling title ever. The publisher is planning to launch a dedicated expansion for Monster Hunter World this autumn, so it’s obviously not done with the game just yet....

When it comes to mobile streaming, YouTube reigns supreme. While Twitch continues to outshine YouTube as a general streaming platform, YouTube has been more successful this year among mobile gamers, with games such as PUBG Mobile and Garena Free Fire ranking among Newzoo’s “Top Games By Numbers Of Streamers” list, streamed by 1.2k and 949 streamers, respectively. These numbers are more surprising when comparing the numbers on Twitch and YouTube. While Garena Free Fire has a mere 26 streamers on Twitch, it comes in at #4 on Newzoo’s list with a much higher count....

Over the years of Yu-Gi-Oh! has introduced more cards than one can count, but few can stand out as the strongest in attack power. Attack can be the most important move in Yu-Gi-Oh! even to its very beginning as a humble and dark gaming manga. Having the strongest Monster can help shorten the battle but with the maximum cap at 5000 that makes strategy and use the most important. The better the ability the stronger the Monster in this case, unless it’s an extremely rare card that has an even higher attack power....

For all of Chainsaw man’s simpler themes and aspects, there are just as many convoluted relationships between characters and factions. For proof, look no further than Denji’s relationship with Katana Man, his allies, and the Gun Devil. It’s not too far into the series that these forces collide, and Denji is put in harm’s way due to less-than-clear circumstances. You likely reached this point yourself, resulting in you asking the question: Why is the Gun Devil After Denji’s Heart in Chainsaw Man?...

Oleksandr “s1mple” Kostyliev, who is thought of as the world’s best Counter-Strike: Global Offensive player, was banned from Twitch this week. The streamer was banned for using a homophobic slur during a July streaming session. Fans of CS:GO player s1mple may have gotten a surprise today when they tried to get onto his channel and found that it had disappeared. The reason being that the professional esports player and Twitch streamer had received a ban from Twitch after calling a friend a “pidor,” a Russian word that is a slur against gay men in an esports broadcast....

Of all the professions that one can take in World of Warcraft, Engineering is by far the most interesting and unique of them all. All other professions are both straightforward in what they aim to offer a player, and rather boring. Engineering, on the other hand, has always felt like it was the sum of every crazy, wacky idea conjured up by the developers. Do you want green tinted goggles? Bombs?...

Nintendo’s got some bad news for those waiting for the Collector’s Edition of upcoming RPG sequel Xenoblade Chronicles 3. As per the official Nintendo store, the edition won’t be ready for the release of the game itself. “Due to unforeseen logistical challenges, we are unable to open pre-orders for the Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Collector’s Edition before the game launches on July 29th.

Hooray for games about time travel. There’s just something about titles that allow you to hop between timelines in the blink of an eye. YesterMorrow is a 2D platformer with action and puzzle elements that makes solid use of its time travel mechanics. But that isn’t even close to what makes the game special. The charming pixel visuals, entertaining platforming and exploration, and the tight controls come together to make a game that’s very much worth playing, even if the narrative trappings are generic and certain sections can be horribly frustrating....

The Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game has been around almost as long as the anime that made it popular in America. In the game, players face off against each other using monsters, spell, and trap cards to build strategies and drive their opponent’s life points down to zero. On the surface, the game is fairly straight-forward and simple, but with so many different kinds of monsters and effects, the strategies that players can create add multiple layers of complexity, depth, and originality to the game....

Surgeon Simulator 2 is a wacky game that’s even more fun with friends. But you may encounter problems with multiplayer mode where you will not be able to team up with friends. Let’s see if there is any fix or workaround available and why this error is coming up. Surgeon Simulator 2 Multiplayer Not Loading or Working Fix Players are mentioning a variety of problems including long loading screens, black screen while loading and login or authentication issues....

There is always room for creativity when it comes to IPs everyone knows and love, but with Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey, it is probably the worst nightmare for the honey-loving bear in the woods. Instead of a cuddly and warm film, the upcoming film is a slasher, with both Pooh and Piglet taking to the darker side of the forest. If you are wondering just when is the Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey release date, read on....

Wolfenstein: Youngblood will be released on July 26. Hang on, actually it will be out that day for every platform except on PC. Bethesda revealed today that the game will in fact launch on PC a day earlier than anywhere else, which is great for those of you whose itchy trigger fingers need scratching. Bethesda revealed the changed date via Twitter earlier today. The message followed a post by the company’s official Twitter account which was busy drumming up hype for the upcoming launch....

WWE 2K’s annual releases are often heavily criticized before they even hit game store shelves. However, WWE 2K20 received that treatment more than any game that has come before it, and with good reason. What fans of the franchise had been shown of the game prior to its release made it seem like a far worse version of WWE 2K19. It’s bad enough when an annual updated franchise appears to have made no changes at all, but to release a game that is somehow worse is unforgivable....

The list of developers as part of Xbox Game Studios has been growing year-on-year - and with plans to buy Call of Duty maker Activision Blizzard, is only set to continue. Even if you’re not close enough to the games industry to need to know who-owns-who, if you are an Xbox Game Pass subscriber, it can give you an idea of what will be coming in the future - especially with Microsoft’s commitment to put everything it makes from its first-party studios onto the subscription service - as well as what’s playable now through Xbox backwards compatibility....

After Sony wowed gamers with the PlayStation 5 in June, it’s finally time for Microsoft to take the stage with the games that are coming to the Xbox Series X. July’s Xbox Games Showcase will unveil more about Halo Infinite, the Xbox Series X’s flagship title, as well as other first-party and third-party titles coming to the next-gen console. The digital event, which is scheduled for July 23 at 12 pm ET, will be a chance for Microsoft to respond to the PS5, the big headliner of June’s IGN Summer of Gaming and Summer Game Fest events....

Xbox will join the growing trend of selling new blockbuster console games for $70 (likely £70) next year. This includes the biggest hitters from Microsoft’s first-party line-up for 2023, such as Bethesda’s Starfield, Arkane’s Redfall and the company’s own Forza Motorsport reboot. Of course, as is standard on Xbox, all of these will continue to be made available on day one as part of Xbox Game Pass. There’s no suggestion today of any other pricing being changed - such as for that subscription service, or for Xbox hardware....

Nintendo Switch players will be able to take out Zombie Hitler thanks to the Zombie Army Trilogy, arriving at the end of March. Zombie Army 4: Dead War just came out last month. We gave it a pretty good review, praising it for its great co-op gameplay with only just a few gripes. “It’s a rollicking and ridiculous game that’s fun to play, offers loads of replay value, and is an enticing co-op proposition for anyone who likes fun,” wrote our girl, Bella....
