The Xbox One and Xbox 360 versions of RIDE have been delayed until mid-April, Milestone has announced. The PS3, PS4 and PC versions have not been affected and are still planned for release this Friday, March 27. The revised date marks the second time the Xbox versions have suffered a delay, with the game having initially been due to launch on all platforms last Friday. A reason for the Xbox versions’ delay has not been revealed....
Players that pick up the recently released Overwatch port on the Nintendo Switch will receive a handful of special items and treats, including three free months of Nintendo Switch Online, the Switch’s online multiplayer service. The move makes a lot of sense considering that without Nintendo Switch Online, Overwatch is virtually unplayable, as the game has no offline modes or campaigns. Overwatch, originally released back in May of 2016, provided new life for the online multiplayer genre....
Blizzard’s hero-shooter Overwatch is constantly being updated, with the company making changes to heroes and adding new content on a regular basis. Since updates can severely impact the balance of the game, Blizzard often tests them in the PTR. Not all of the PTR updates make it into the full game, but many of them do, and so the Overwatch PTR patch notes can often give players a good idea of what to expect from the main game in the near future....
It’s all going on for Greg Buchanan. His still-warm thriller novel Sixteen Horses looks destined to become one of the books of the year, having filled window displays at Waterstones stores around the UK for the paperback launch in February. I’ve read it and it’s brilliant; dark, disturbing, fearsomely intelligent and utterly compelling. I couldn’t put it down.
Venusaur brings back nostalgic memories for many of us as this Pokémon was introduced back in Generation I. This grass and poison Pokémon is the Bulbasaur’s final form, but it can mega evolve as well. They are difficult to find in the wild, but grasslands are what they consider to be their home. Many fans have created artwork depicting this Pokémon in various lights. Some choose to represent it realistically, while others give it an unexpected twist....
With the holidays upon us, Pokémon Go players are in for a treat with the newest Holiday Event beginning December 24 and running through until January 1. As with most events there are themed Pokémon to be found throughout the world, including Stantler with bells around their necks and Pikachu with festive beanies. For players who want a real challenge, Snover and Abomasnow will be available in their Shiny variants for the first time....
The Lunar New Year 2023 event in Pokémon Go celebrates the beginning of the year of the rabbit. Completing the Lucky Wishes quest steps in Pokémon Go will unlock an additional bonus which will be available to you until this event ends. Make sure you pick wisely though, because there are three to choose from! You can also collect and complete a selection of event-exclusive Lunar New Year field research tasks....
Nintendo announced this week that Pokémon Sword & Shield will be getting two DLC packs later in 2020. The Isle of Armor will launch this summer, while Crown Tundra will follow in the fall. Both packs will bring a whole bunch of new elements to the games, including more Pokémon to bulk out that slimmed down Pokédex. Annoyingly, it’s now a waiting game until that first DLC pack arrives in June....
Pokemon GO’s world domination takes one step closer to completion with news that the game has now launched in Japan. The launch is supported by a McDonald’s sponsorship, turning 3000 restaurant locations into Pokemon GO Gyms. News of the McDonald’s partnership leaked and is reported to have resulted in the game’s release being pushed back a few days in order to make sure servers could cope with demand. It hasn’t taken long for Japan’s gaming celebs to get in on the action, with Sony’s Shuhei Yoshida posting pics of him playing the game – at least we assume it’s him....
Pokemon GO players now have February’s Community Day event in the rearview mirror, which means it is time to start speculating about which Pokemon will get the spotlight next month. Although there used to be a fairly predictable pattern to Community Day features, the last few months have switched things up and left players guessing (or voting) on which creature would own the day. March’s Pokemon GO event doesn’t seem like it is going to using the voting mechanic like February, but Niantic is starting to drop hints about which Pokemon will be featured....
Pokemon Legends Arceus is finally here. The long-awaited open-world Pokemon game that many have dreamed of for years is available for anyone to jump in and explore. While there are a lot of changes in this game, obviously catching, training, and evolving Pokemon is still a critical part of the gameplay. If you’re here, you’re probably wondering how to evolve Gligar into Gliscor Pokemon Legends Arceus. Here’s how to get this classic Pokemon....
Published by German sim-focused company Astragon Entertainment and developed by Aesir Interactive, Police Simulator: Patrol Officers does exactly what it sounds like, offering a sim game where you play as a beat cop. I’m fond of simulators and while I can’t think of another one that deals with such a focus, my expectations for this one were low. I was expecting something lacking in optimization, goofy and painful to play. Surprisingly, this isn’t the case at all....
There’s a reason why Nintendo has managed to stay relevant for so long. With new IPs and experiments like Arms and Game Builder Garage come regular updates like Splatoon 3 and Mario Kart 8: Deluxe. That being said, Pokémon Scarlet and Violet seem to have made enough departures this year to justify that curiosity preorder. With this in mind, ShopTo has put out the cheapest pre-order we’ve seen for the game yet....
Project Cars is getting its third batch of DLC, Bandai Namco has confirmed. While no release date or pricing was given for ‘Old vs New’, it was confirmed that the pack will include: the the 1987 RUF CTR Yellowbird, the Ford Mustang Fastback 2+2, the Ford Mustang GT, the BMW 2002 Turbo and the BMW 320TC WTCC. Players will also get the RUF RT 12 R for free. Slightly Mad Studios recently announced plans to make Project Cars 2, and that the project will be kickstarted like the first game....
The next game from PlayerUnknown Battlegrounds outfit Bluehole Studios has been formally announced for the west today, and it’s a very different beast from the popular online shooter. An MMORPG for the PC, Ascent: Infinite Realm (also known as A:IR) takes place in a ‘high fantasy steampunk world’ combined with magical fantasy elements and will see players select from one of five customisable classes to battle it out both on the ground with mechs or take to the air using a range of items from magical personal flying contraptions to huge elaborate airships which are also fully customisable....
PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds has received a fresh update for PC users today, as developer PUBG Corp. continues its pledge to take a sledgehammer to the various bugs and niggles plaguing its battle royale title. The highlights for update 20 include a Sanhok-exclusive scooter and a brand new Assault Rifle in the shape of the Beryl M762, which spawns on all three maps. To be fair, both sound pretty useful. The scooter replaces the regular motorbike, and has the same HP and a greater turning circle, though slightly slower speed....
I spend a lot of my day sitting on my backside which is not great I know but it’s one of the requirements of the job. When I’m not working, additional time is spent gaming which involves more sitting, sometimes for long periods. Over the years I have tried all kinds of chairs to help with my posture and comfort when sitting for long periods and finding a good chair has proved difficult....
The world of Rainbow Six Siege is filled with constant tactical action. Even Splinter Cell‘s Sam Fisher has gotten in on the action. But, every now and then, you have to take a break from the whole “save the world” thing and have a little fun. Ubisoft is giving players a chance to blow off a little steam over the next few days by reintroducing the golden gun arcade mode to Rainbow Six Siege....
Random access memory (RAM) is a type of flash memory that your computer uses to store session data while it processes all the information you’re inputting. Solid-state drives (SSDs) are also a type of flash memory, but the two are nothing alike and share very few traits. © Daniel Krason /Shutterstock.com Broadly speaking, RAM is used for temporary files and is wiped when your session ends, while your SSD will be used for permanent file storage....
Rockstar games has announced that Red Dead Redemption 2 will now be releasing in spring 2018. When it was officially announced back in October it was slated for autumn 2017. Rockstar says that ‘Some extra time is necessary to ensure that we can deliver the best experience possible for our fans,’ and ‘We are really excited to bring you more details about the game this summer,’ so look out for more RDR2 info around E3....
