Lunar New Year comes a little later than we know in the west, but that doesn’t mean we can’t all celebrate the festivities and have a good time. That’s what Blizzard aims to offer with its Lunar New Year 2021 event for Overwatch at least. It looks pretty exciting too, as there is a ton of content on offer. The event itself will run for three weeks and offer up new challenges each week....
While some games are incredibly malleable and easy to mod (like Resident Evil 2 for one example… actually, for several examples), Overwatch, as an online multiplayer shooter, requires a certain amount of balance and fine-tuning. As a result, modding the game isn’t really an easy task. Still, many players have wanted to play around with the world of Overwatch for some time now. The urge to modify the game to create new game modes, or even mix and match hero abilities, has been around since the game originally launched....
A legend in the world of ghosts, on this plane of existence and perhaps the next, has passed on. Lorraine Warren, purported medium, ghost hunter, and author involved with cases popularized in paranormal pop culture films The Amityville Horror, The Conjuring, The Haunting in Connecticut, and Annabelle, has died at age 92. According to her son-in-law Tony Spera, Warren passed away in her sleep last night. Lorraine — along with her husband Ed, who died in 2006 — founded the New England Society for Psychic Research, and claim to have investigated more than 10,000 paranormal cases....

Remember press events for game launches? Thanks to the pandemic, they’ve felt like a long distant memory for us here at Eurogamer. Things started to feel a little more normal last week though as Aoife and I were finally able to head out into the great outdoors in search of a video game related adventure. Enter Persona 4 Arena ULTIMAX in the red corner, a spin-off beat-em-up game set in the Persona universe and featuring a cast of recognisable characters....
With gaming becoming an integral part of many people’s lives, the chances of meeting toxic people online will only increase. While you may be able to report them to the different platform holders and get them banned, Xbox boss Phil Spencer wants to push the enforcement even further, and have bans apply cross-platform. Spencer was speaking to The New York Times about video games and the metaverse, and broached the topic of cooperative enforcement....
Our quick take Philips 55PFL8008S 55-inch TV - 4.0 / 5 Slick exterior Ambilight explained Picture quality It smarts To recap It may not be as “smart” as the competition, but the Philips 55PFL8008S has a super-sharp picture, stacks of customisation options, great sound, a gorgeous exterior and Ambilight technology that sets it apart from the competition. But it suffers from some clouding that limits the overall picture and the price is at the top-end of the sector....
What we knew as Plants vs Zombies: Garden Warfare 3 might actually be titled, ‘Plants vs Zombies: Battle for Neighborville’, as reported by PCGamesN. A third installment to the rooty-shooty franchise has been alive and kicking for almost a year now, and we guessed it would be called ‘Garden Warfare 3’, given that a PvZ comic listed itself as ‘the official comic book bridge between video games PvZ: GW2 and PvZ: GW3....
Today, Sony Interactive Entertainment announced the monthly games that will be granted to PlayStation Plus subscribers in December 2022 at no additional cost. Subscribers to the Essential tier of the service will get three games (or perhaps we should say two since PlayStation is counting content for a free-to-play game as a game) as usual. Specifically, we’re getting Mass Effect Legendary Edition for PS4, Biomutant for PS4 and PS5, and Divine Knockout: Founder’s Edition also for both platforms....
Pokémon, you have finally gone too far. Game Freak’s beloved gotta catch ‘em all ‘em up has been going strong for over two decades now. In that time, the roster has expanded exponentially, with various alternative forms being given to certain Pokémon. The humble Spinda, however, has all others trumped. Do you know how many different potential forms of this little Normal-type there are? More than eight billion. Now, if you’re a gamer of a certain age, you probably find yourself reminiscing about the good old days far too often....
There’s a new Pokémon in Pokémon Sword & Shield. Its name is Cramorant. It is a blue Flying and Water-type bird Pokémon. Its schtick is that its one of those birds that dives into water, plucks a fish, and swallows it whole. This habit manifests in battle whenever Cramorant uses the Dive or Surf attacks. After using the attack it comes out of the water with a fish Pokémon in its mouth....
Pokémon Sword and Shield’s official online competition is set to begin on December 6, as announced by Game Freak yesterday.

For a while now, Pokemon GO players have been able to encounter all forms of non-Legendary Gen 1 and Gen 2 Pokemon in the wild. That means that although it’s exciting and uncommon to bump into a wild Charizard or Blastoise in the wild; it’s not unheard of. That hasn’t been the case for more Gen 3 final evolutions so far, but that seems to have changed with the latest spawn rotation....
Fans of the Tales of series might be in for a very special treat, possibly later on today, with an announcement that more of the Tales of games that were released exclusively for Japan, are going to be localized for release in North America. If true, this may come as a bit of a surprise of fans since Namco Bandai had previously stated that there were not any plans to bring any of the exclusive Tales of games beyond Japanese shores....
The next big PS5 announcement is reportedly set to arrive this month, as per a report from Bloomberg. The things that we still don’t know about the PlayStation 5—and about the Xbox Series X, for that matter—are price and release date. Perhaps this month that will change. A report from Bloomberg on PlayStation’s Q1 financial results included mention of an announcement that has been scheduled for this month. “An official at the PlayStation unit, who asked not to be identified because the plan is not yet public, said Sony’s next announcement regarding the PlayStation 5 is tentatively scheduled for this month....

The Soul Calibur franchise is incredibly popular amongst gamers, with this classic fighting game always being a major hit with each release, offering stunning graphics and fantastic gameplay. The franchise is well known for bringing in well-known ‘guest’ characters with each game as well, with the likes of Yoda, Darth Vader, and Link all having appeared in versions of the game, which often help to sell it to people. However, while learning which guest character is going to be in each game is very exciting, getting to see the characters that are designed specifically for Soul Calibur in new environments is equally as awesome, and within this article, we will rank the 10 greatest roster characters....
