For Smite’s update 9.4, a lot is happening in the game. Not only will there be a new god for the update, the Jade Emperor, but multiple items and gods will see reductions in power and their abilities. These changes will potentially balance the competitive game across the board better. How many changes will there be, and why is update 9.4 called the Nerf Update in Smite? There are a mountain of changes in this update....
I’ve been a fan of the Resident Evil series ever since I was eight years old, sneaking behind the couch to watch my dad play Resident Evil 4. Something about the combat and story entranced me as a child, as I witnessed my dad downing dozens of zombies and cultists alike. As an adult returning to this beloved franchise, I experience this same sense of awe, but for a different reason entirely....
I’ve had a go-to shooter for as long as I can remember. Even as far back as when my only console was the PS2, I played Turok, or one of the various 007 games, or whatever I could get my hands on. Halo, of course, was the logical next step, up through Reach, until Halo 4 disappointed me enough to kick me off the franchise for good. Concurrently though, I was an avid player of Team Fortress 2....
Also announced during today’s Nintendo Direct stream is the addition of golf to Wii Sports Club, available starting today on Nintendo’s eShop. Just like the other sports the Club currently offers — tennis and bowling — Golf supports Motion Plus. Furthermore, you can place your Wii U controller on the ground and see your golf club represented on the touch screen, allowing for a finer adjustment of the swing. Just don’t leave it on the ground, because that’s an accident waiting to happen....
Senior producer at Blizzard says it’s “feasible” Yesterday it was leaked and then confirmed that Blizzard’s action role-playing series, Diablo would indeed land on Nintendo’s little console in the form of Diablo III: Eternal Collection. This slapped the faces of anyone who vehemently believed that it wasn’t possible to port such a game to the machine and Diablo opens up the door for other Blizzard titles to join the party. In a recent interview with Gamespot, senior producer, Pete Stilwell stokes hope that Overwatch could be in the running....
This massive baddies are an excellent source of loot, but will require a team to take down. World Bosses in World of Warcraft Shadowlands are powerful elite enemies that spawn once a week in one of the four new zones added in the expansion. They drop raid equivalent gear (Normal), Conduits, and Legendary Powers, so they’re well worth taking down. World Bosses in Shadowlands spawn once a week in a single zone, as identified by the purple world quest marker on the map....
The Call of Duty franchise is one of the most popular in gaming. Activision’s first-person shooter franchise is their golden goose, with annual releases garnering lavish profits with each new entry. While the franchise has seen incredible highs, so too has the series hit lows. We’ve listed some of our picks for the Call of Duty games that missed the mark, leaving a sour taste in fans’ mouths. Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare Why do people play Call of Duty?...
Nacon and KT Racing’s World Rally Championship (WRC) franchise might not get the same amount of attention that other racing games, such as F1 and Forza Motorsport, but maybe it should. Last year, WRC 9 went live, and while it did have some flaws, the title did a lot right in terms of realism and entertainment. So what does the WRC development team have in store this year? I got a chance to play an early build of the next installment of the franchise, WRC 10, and if this demo was an indication of things to come, it sure looks like the future is quite bright for fans of the FIA World Rally Championship....

The extremely elusive and hard to buy Xbox One Elite Controller is currently available from both Gamestop and Best Buy. The controller has been sold out on both retailers’ websites, as well as almost every other store’s, ever since it was released late last year. The $150 controller was expected to be a hit item, though it seems that Microsoft didn’t expect this level of success, as restocks have been issued but sell out quickly....

We’re almost three weeks into the Warmind expansion for Destiny 2, and Xur has returned once again to continue to offer new Exotics from the DLC. This week, he has just one new item, but it’s a cool-looking one, albeit underwhelming performance-wise. Where is Xur?

Titanium Vambraces might sound like an item that would be dropped by a soldier enemy, or at least by some kind of armor-wearing enemy. But nope, they come from Apes. You can also pick up a few Titanium Vambraces from the Alpha Reaper gigant zeugal fight in Translida Highway, but since you can only kill each gigant zeugal once, Apes are the way to go. Apes can be found in the Gilanne Woodland in Menancia....
