Returning for its fourth appearance, the FAMAS has become one of Call of Duty‘s most iconic guns. The FFAR 1 in Black Ops Cold War is the latest rendition of the FAMAS. Similar to the original Black Ops, this year’s FAMAS is a fast-firing automatic assault rifle that requires good aim to stay on target. It is not a burst rifle, unlike its infamous Modern Warfare version. Its theoretical time to kill of just 330 ms is not incredible by any means, but it is relatively competitive when compared to other assault rifles....

Last week, we saw the first two episodes of “Sweet Winter with Pokemon,” the series of short videos about a man who cooks Pokemon-themed food alongside his Pokemon partners. The videos are live-action and use incredibly adorable CGI for the Pokemon characters. The third and final episode of this series has just been released, and this one is the most heartwarming of the bunch. All four of the man’s Pokemon—Pikachu, Charmander, Jigglypuff, and Psyduck—join him this time as he picks fruit like strawberries and cherries in his yard to prepare his new recipes....
The Tax Man is still after your V-Bucks and Apex Coins for 2019’s taxes, although there appears to be some confusion at the IRS when it comes to virtual currencies. When you’re filling out your income taxes, you generally don’t worry about the $5 you spent buying a skin in Fortnite. Or even the $20 you spent opening loot boxes last year. Generally speaking, neither did the IRS, but some new updates have thrown confusion over some pretty serious questions when it comes to virtual currencies....

However scant his resources – be they freshly stripped tree branches or the headless corpse of a Saxon child – he makes the most of what’s available.

12 years ago Nihon Falcom released the fourth mainline entry in its Kiseki series, Trails from Zero. It is the successor to the original Sky trilogy which has since become renowned as one of the premier JRPGs of the 2000s. At least, that’s how it went down in Japan. In the west, most people haven’t even heard of Kiseki and even fewer Trails From Zero. Despite its universal acclaim back home, Trails From Zero wasn’t released outside of Japan and China....

Bandai Namco Games has unwrapped a fresh gameplay video for The Seven Deadly Sins: Knights of Britannia, showcasing footage for the anime-flavored brawler’s Adventure mode on PS4.

Old games have a way of reminding us of a simpler time. A time where our most important decision in life was deciding whether to allocate that one skill point to Raise Skeleton or Skeleton Mastery for our latest Necromancer build. Some two decades later, I still don’t have an answer, and I rather like it that way. Competitiveness has made the Sorceress the logical choice for all power gamers in Diablo II: Resurrected....
