With the eighth generation of home consoles coming to an end last year, it’s safe to say that third-person action adventures ruled the era . The genre of gaming doesn’t look like slowing down either, with The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2, Elden Ring, and Grand Theft Auto 4 being three of the most highly anticipated titles for the next generation of gam
Multiple sensationalist news articles about PUBG related deaths featured across various online news outlets as if India had finally arrived at its satanic panic phase. Politicians from all over the country went up in arms about this evil game ruining the lives of impressionable children. Even Prime Minister Modi addressed the topic at an education-related event in India. Lastly, almost every news, finance, content, lifestyle, sports, or e-commerce site started churning out PUBG related content to boost their SEO numbers. As you can imagine, a video game journalist in India couldn’t help but feel a bit satura
If players can locate the revered champion in their game , it’s an opportunity to seriously cash in on a player with a target over their head. Be cautious, though, as there’s always a reason they’ve been given the title, a plan is likely nee
Amidst growing border tensions between India and China, the Indian government eventually banned 117 Chinese apps including PUBG Mobile and TikTok among others. The ban came under Section 69A of the Information Technology Act by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, citing that these apps were, “prejudicial to sovereignty and integrity of India, defense of India, security of state and public ord
Tom Clancy’s The Division 2 is a tactical shooter that stands out with its role-playing mechanics and online-only play. The game is set a few months after its predecessor in Washington D.C. and improves upon the previous game in many ways, particularly with its excellent sound design, soundtrack, and combat mechan
For those that don’t have a mic set up already, Apex e district map Legends has one of the best ping systems out there. Allowing teams to communicate enemy positions, loot locations, and action warnings, all without a single word being spo
Apex, on the other hand, doesn’t really have the same problem. Look at the female characters alone – Wraith, Bangalore, and Lifeline. Only one of them is wearing a body suit, and considering her character (stealthy interdimensional assassin-y lady,) it fits. The other two women wear clothing that makes sense for both their respective roles on the battlefield and their lore, with Bangalore’s fatigues making sense considering her military upbringing and Lifeline’s breathable top and cargo pants fitting with her role as a combat medic, as well as being more casual than something somebody from her wealthy upbringing might wear. On top of their outfits, each woman looks different. Different body types and heights and faces help to give them differentiating factors beyond outfit colors and hairstyles. While I’d like more diversity in terms of female body types and eventually other ethnicities, it’s a pretty bang-up st
Ultimate Edition ‘s Metascore of 82 may seem fairly harsh, especially considering that the original game received an aggregated score of 94 . However, players can look at the game’s drop in score positively in some ways. The most common criticism was that the game’s level design and gameplay mechanics had become dated, which is a testament to how influential Gears of War was between 2006 and 2
However, Apex’s cast isn’t just head-and-shoulders above its competitors. Instead, it goes for the jugular of a personal favorite: Overwatch. The comparisons are impossible to not see. Chatter that dumps lore, signature voice lines, a MOBA-lite class system… the list goes on. But the thing is that not only is Apex clearly influenced by Overwatch, it’s hellbent on improving on it. Every person on the design team of Apex went above and beyond the call of duty to deliver a game with characters that are, on both a conceptual and aesthetic level, more interesting than anything Blizzard could come up w

PUBG had not only become India’s most popular game, but also became a reason for social gatherings. Instead of just hanging out and chatting at their usual spots, you’ll see kids and young adults specifically meeting to play PUBG Mobile. A cigarette or tea break from work usually included a round of the game. At a previous company, the entire design team would synchronize their breaks to dive into Erangel. The game even gave rise to a whole segment of streamers with millions of subscribers, something that was quite rare before PUBG took over the coun
