That’s where Sticky Bombs come in. But Sticky Bombs’ ear-shattering boom is always preceded by a cell phone ringer. PUBG’s regular grenades roll or bounce, but Sticky Bombs can be attached to just about anything, which means they can come from any angle. And while frag grenades can be cooked to explode instantly, the Sticky Bombs’ cacophonous cell phone has its own sort of comedic timing. All around the map are Zelda-style discolored walls and each one of them can be destroyed with Sticky Bombs.

Nvidia says its GeForce Now service lost its library of 20 Activision and Blizzard games because of a “misunderstanding” over permission to continue offering them once the cloud gaming service left its beta period. Nvidia didn’t describe exactly what the misunderstanding was in a statement yesterday, but did say it hoped to bring back Activision Blizzard games in the future. Bloomberg reported that Activision Blizzard wanted to negotiate a new commercial agreement for its games when GeForce came

Overall, these fan editors did a colossal job entering and illustrating some 1,500 players with a DualShock 4 controller. Sony San Diego announced this week that, for the first time ever, the game will feature fully named, fully licensed minor league rosters. Official minor league rosters, using the real players, under their real names, haven’t been possible in the past because of licensing restrictions.

Mobile trivia app HQ Trivia is shutting down, according to a report from CNN. The live trivia app, developed by Vine creators Colin Kroll and Rus Yuzupov, was fairly popular when it launched in 2017, promising players real money for using the app, and answering questions at a specific time twice a day. The app reached a record high in users at 2.38 million on March 28, 2018. HQ continued to update the app and look for interesting ways to keep trivia heads interested in playing, like HQ After Dar

After 23 years of working with publishers, Quantic Dream no longer has to rely on them for funding: The developer behind games like Heavy Rain and Detroit: Become Human will self-publish games in the future. Founded in 1997, Paris-based Quantic Dream has always been known for games that focus heavily on narrative, and more recently, on interactive stories that are dictated by player choices. The last new game from Quantic Dream was 2018’s Detroit: Become Human, which was originally published by

Once upon a time, before he was a star researcher in the world of Pokémon, Professor Oak was a trainer. A Pokémon Masters update hitting Friday will introduce Professor Oak as a sync pair, and the Pokémon expert will come equipped with a legendary Mew that he will use in battle with the player. The concept went on to be used in Pokémon X and Y, where the player can actually face off against Professor Sycamore. In this case, however, Professor Oak will fight alongside you, not against you. Actual

Untitled Goose Game already had its moment in the sun during The Game Awards in December, but that awful little bird was back again this week, winning game of the year (among other honors) at the 2020 DICE Awards. It’s a remarkable feat for the tiny team at Melbourne, Australia-based House House, which was unable to attend the awards in person. Even more remarkable is the fact that all of the previous GOTY winners in the DICE Awards’ 23-year history are games from big-name publishers. this is ex

In what is almost certainly the most wholesome video of 2020 so far, Destiny content creator Fallout Plays and his pal Ryan helped carry a 9-year-old child to max rank in Destiny 2’s competitive multiplayer playlist. The nearly 20-minute video is mostly gameplay, where Fallout and Ryan have lovely conversation with CJ, the Destiny-loving child. Having worked with Fallout Plays before on our random roll weapon guide, we messaged him a few questions about the experience with CJ. But with CJ, Fallo

State of Decay 2 is getting a big, free update that veers closer to a No Man’s Sky-style overhaul than a run-of-the-mill content patch. Developer Undead Labs is calling the update the “Juggernaut Edition,” and it’s a wide-ranging remaster of State of Decay 2’s graphics and audio. The Juggernaut Edition also packs in previous expansions, including the side campaign Heartland, and makes them free to everyone, too. State of Decay 2 (with its Juggernaut Edition update) is also coming to Steam; it ha

Dracula is dead, as Alucard reminds us in the new trailer for Castlevania season 3, but there’s plenty of evil still left to contend with in Wallachia. Our heroes, Sypha Belnades, Trevor Belmont, and Alucard, are still out here battling the forces of darkness in season 3. And animated house Powerhouse Studios appears to have stepped things up for the third season, with hints of some incredibly dynamic action in the new Castlevania trailer. Netflix confirmed a third season of Castlevania in Octob

The current manufacturing cost of the PS5, Bloomberg says, is around $450. Bloomberg says Sony is taking a wait-and-see approach — meaning, waiting to see how Microsoft prices its Xbox Series X console — to setting the PS5’s price. When Sony unveiled first details on the PS5 last year, the console sounded more expensive than the $399.99 PlayStation 4 Pro. We may not know the price of the PlayStation 5 (or the Xbox Series X) until June at the earliest. Both the PS5 and Xbox Series X are planned t

With Final Fantasy 7 Remake less than two months away, Square Enix has posted the game’s opening cinematic, which shows off the first snippet of the game alongside a bigger look at Midgar. The scene, which presumably plays when you start a new game, shows the industrial city of Midgar and the desolate world outside of it. An eerie version of Sephiroth’s iconic theme song, “One Winged Angel,” plays throughout the opening, reminding players of the dread to come. The song does switch to a redone ve

So when the video games came out and when I got interested in video games, it was, for me, relatively easy to understand why things worked the way that they worked. For this particular movie, the original Sonic game came out in 1991 for the Sega machine at the time. The magic that that has, sitting in front of it, is really, really amazing.
