The Oculus Quest Pro and the Quest 2 are the two-star VR headsets released by Meta, a strong contender in the VR space and the company at the forefront of the charge toward the metaverse. As a brand-new VR headset, the Quest Pro is already surrounded by hype. © Sergey Nivens/Shutterstock.com But is it actually worth the purchase? It certainly has better specs than the Quest 2, including in the graphics department....
One of the most iconic characters of all time is getting a video game: the nondescript stick figure on signs. You see him everywhere you go, but you’ve never seen the character as you will in The Pedestrian. The game has been in development for a few years, even launching a Kickstarter in 2017, but it has only recently released a teaser trailer. You take control of the characters who guard the doors to bathrooms and puzzle your way through the unique 2....
While many branching narrative video games like Until Dawn, Detroit: Become Human, and Heavy Rain feature plenty of multiple endings, it sounds like Supermassive Games is ready to up the ante significantly with their next effort. Yes, the UK-based outfit have officially confirmed that their upcoming ’80s-inspired cinematic slasher title, The Quarry, will launch with 186 different endings. Additionally, the team allegedly has to shoot “50 pages a day,” which is “unheard of,” according to the game’s director....
The Switch may be home to a ton of ports of older games, but that doesn’t mean people should be shrugging their shoulders in disappointment. Loads of games come out every day and gamers sometimes miss really great ones. Getting those on-the-go and with some extra features is almost too good of a deal. Not everything is worth seeking out, though. Sometimes games were overlooked because they were simply bad. That’s not true of The Talos Principle....
On 20th October, Phantom Abyss will be rope-swinging its way onto Xbox Game Pass. Along with this announcement, we also have a nice shiny new trailer from Devolver Digital to mark the occasion. This trailer, which you can see below, shows off some of the extreme temple runs that you as the player will have to navigate. This “massive asynchronous multiplayer” will throw players into those temples seen above and task them with retrieving ancient relics from within....

It will have all four seasons of The Walking Dead game, the 400 Days mini-season, and The Walking Dead: Michonne....
A new study has found a bizarre link where adults addicted to Minecraft are supported financially by their parents. We all know video game addiction is a thing. And I don’t just mean that a game is so good that it’s “addictive.” We’re using the term addiction in its most literal way, as in the person addicted to gaming can’t function in normal society and eschews all responsibilities just to keep playing....
If you watched the Xbox and Bethesda E3 presentation, one thing you couldn’t have missed was Microsoft’s subscription gaming service, Xbox Game Pass. All but a few games during the show were advertised as coming to Xbox Game Pass on day one. Among the more surprising announcements in the Ubisoft presentation during E3 was for Rocksmith+. This new update to the Rocksmith franchise is a subscription series. We can probably also expect Electronic Arts to promote its EA Play service during the presentation scheduled for next month....
Ahead of its appearance at Gamescom, Eurogamer was given the chance to watch a pre-prepared keynote on The Devil In Me, the next instalment and first season finale of Supermassive Games’ The Dark Pictures Anthology. The preview, hosted by director Tom Heaton, included footage from one of the episode’s later scenes, and a look at its various gameplay improvements. This early look began by introducing the story and main characters of The Devil In Me, and setting up its stakes....
The System Shock Kickstarter has got off to a great start with backers having pledged almost $650,000 in a matter of days. Project director Jason Fader says the response has been “crazy” and the “team was incredibly overwhelmed by your support and we truly appreciate it”. Stephen Kick, the CEO of Nightdive Studios added: “I’m sitting at my desk after our first day of funding and I’m finding it very difficult to put into words just how grateful I am to everyone and the support they’ve given us over the last 24 hours....
In Elden Ring, you can summon your friend using a Tarnished’s Furled Finger or by using a Small Golden Effigy. But the in-game description of these items doesn’t exactly explain their uses. Hence it can be a real pain to invite or join your friends. So in this guide let us check the differences between Tarnished’s Furled Finger Vs Small Golden Effigy in Elden Ring. Tarnished’s Furled Finger Vs Small Golden Effigy in Elden Ring Tarnished’s Furled Finger in Elden Ring allows you to create a summon sign while Small Golden Effigy is used to send the summon sign to a nearby summon pool....

There is big news from Riot Games this morning, as the League of Legends developer has announced that Teamfight Tactics will be hitting both iOS and Android mobile devices in a few short months. The news is a bit of a surprise regarding the timing of release since League of Legends Mobile has been in the works for so long, and many expected that it would be first to arrive on the mobile scene....
UPDATE 2/2/21: Dying Light 2 developer Techland has detailed some of what will arrive in the game’s day one patch, after earlier advising players with early copies to hold off and wait.

The usual rotation of Temtem in the Saipark means this week is a disappointing one for Luma hunters. However, one of the Temtem in the park this week evolves into Volarend – one of the most powerful Tems in the game. As for the FreeTem weekly rewards, there’s good money to be made and saved if you’re willing to catch and release 200 Temtem. Make money with FreeTem rewards this week A handful of Saicards seems to be the most common tier one reward from the FreeTem!...
It’s not uncommon to see celebrity names in online multiplayer games. In 99% of cases, it’s just some kid who’s banking notoriety on a famous name. But every once in awhile you may just find yourself in a virtual foxhole with a real celebrity. Since 2016, Terry Crews has famously taken the plunge from Hollywood star to avid PC gamer, first building his own gaming rig with his son last July, and then becoming a huge fan of the online shooter Overwatch....
Whilst there has been considerable debate, it’s difficult to argue sensibly against video games being art. Much like movies or TV shows, video games are lovingly crafted experiences brought to life by the efforts and skills of all kinds of artists: storytellers, designers, programmers, musicians and more. As a result, the way all of these collaborations and component parts come together is truly fascinating and well worth exploring in-depth, but there’s more to video games than just the craft....
I have to admit, when I first saw the trailer for DC’s Shazam!, I didn’t think it would be a very good movie. Funny, sure, but cringy. Thankfully, the actual movie proved me very wrong: while, yes, the movie has its silly (and even cringy) moments, it’s actually very enjoyable to watch. After DC’s dark, broody superhero movies (looking at you, Batman and Superman,) it was refreshing to watch a DC hero come to life in a fun adaptation....
Fortnite hit the video game industry with a huge bang, becoming the most played shooter game on the market, ranking higher than the likes of Call of Duty, Destiny, and Battlefield. The online game is free-to-play, another reason why players are more than intrigued to give it a go, and boy do we bet the developers, Epic Games, wished they put a price on it (however the commitment of in-game purchases from players have made sure that they’re doing successful enough)....
