After a rocky start (and some questionable post-launch decisions), Gran Turismo 7 is thriving as Sony's premiere racing simulator. Like previous entries in the series, Gran Turismo 7 is an authentic and richly detailed dive into the world of motorsport, one where you go from rookie sensation to legendary driver across multiple global circuits. With a film adaptation on the way from District 9 director Neill Blomkamp, now is a great time to strap in and put the pedal to the metal in some of...

From Minecraft maps to hand-drawn tattoos, fans are always crafting labors of love for their favorite games. However, one Metal Gear Solid aficionado managed to put together a meme-themed music video for the original game that's not only incredibly detailed, but uses the game's original assets to full effect. That fan is Mau Delgaudio, an Argentinan VFX artist and game developer. While the music video is ostensibly a reference to the "Dr. Livesey Walk" meme that emerged this summer, it's a...

After completing the training in Overwatch 2, new players will be presented with Pharah as an unlocked hero, while returning players will have her and the rest of the roster right away. Having access to a hero like Pharah right out of the gate is certainly enticing, especially to newcomers who might not have gotten a chance to play as the high-flying hero in the original Overwatch. However, Pharah is one of the most difficult heroes to master in Overwatch 2, as her mobility and damage...
Battlefield 2042's The Liquidators mid-season event got off to a rough start earlier today after players discovered various bugs that were preventing them from making progress in the event or equipping unlocked event items. Developer DICE temporarily disabled the event as a result. "We're seeing that the unlock rewards and progress for the event are not tracking correctly, and cannot be equipped when showing as unlocked," the Battlefield Direct Communication Twitter account stated early...
No Man's Sky 4.0 update is finally here, and it's a big deal. In fact, Hello Games founder Sean Murray describes it as a "generational jump" for the game. However, rather than any large, all-encompassing changes, 4.0 is a sum of dozens of small shifts that add up to big differences in the game. For example, it introduces hundreds of quality-of-life improvements. Many more aspects of the game can be customized than ever before, from crafting to basic controls. There's a new "relaxed" mode...

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 comes out later this month, but there's a surprise that many potential players didn't see coming. According to a page on Battle.net, Modern Warfare 2 players will be required to provide a phone number connected to a valid data plan. Additionally, VOIP and prepaid numbers won't work. This decision is apparently part of a company-wide initiative at Activision Blizzard to fight toxic behavior in its multiplayer games. We saw the policy in action last week at...
The easy line to draw from Wild Hearts--the upcoming hunting game from publishers EA and Koei Tecmo and developer Omega Force is Capcom's Monster Hunter. Wild Hearts is a game about exploring large open areas, alone or with two other players, to take down gigantic monsters that move around the map as you fight them. And the developers don't entirely shy away from that comparison--but they're aspiring to do something much more than replicate Monster Hunter. Speaking with Koei Tecmo's...

DragonForce's 2006 rock epic single Through the Fire and the Flames is now finally playable in one of the hottest music games of the year, Trombone Champ. Thanks to some modding work done by DerpyChap, every sick lick and unbelievable guitar solo has been translated into a series of actions that looks downright impossible to perfectly nail. On the plus side, seeing a miniature trombonist struggle to keep pace with a song designed to murder the fingers of any guitarist who tackles it, is...
