Starfall Street is one of the three storylines you’ll unlock during Pokémon Scarlet and Violet’s opening chapter, The First Day of School. It challenges you to raid the Team Star bases scattered across Paldea and defeat the bosses inside, but there’s more to this storyline than meets the eye. While you’re free to raid any Team Star base you choose, there is a best Team Star base order in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, which we’ve outlined below....

Last week, Doom Eternal composer Mick Gordon dropped a bit of a bombshell regarding his experiences working with id Software Studio Director Marty Stratton. Gordon claimed that the disappointing official Doom Eternal soundtrack came after he had to endure a stressful working environment that saw Stratton enforcing unreasonable deadlines and demanding drastic shifts in direction on short notice. Gordon’s allegations directly contrasted with a statement Stratton released two years ago that essentially blamed the soundtrack’s poor quality on the composer’s supposed underperformance....

This Black Lightning review contains spoilers. Black Lightning Season 3 Episode 10 Agent Odell is back on his bullshit. After Williams short-circuited himself by trying to beat Black Lightning at his own game, Odell had to come up out of recovery and gather his sorry ass team. He’s still trying to stabilize metas, but without Lynn, it’s not happening for them. I hate Odell, but I’m glad to have him back....

The latest Blair Witch game is out now and despite being a fairly linear experience it can be a confusing horror game. It’s not uncommon for players to find themselves stuck, especially in the early hours of the game. Here’s a guide to help lost players find contact the search party in the very first chapter of the game. Bloober Team’s Blair Witch is a first-person survival horror game from the developers of Observer and the Layers of Fear games....

For those who are still unaware, this last weekend has been pretty chaotic for Activision Blizzard and fans have been boycotting the company over a recent decision. This previous weekend Blizzard decided to ban “Blitzchung,” a pro-Hearthstone player, for his comments supporting Hong Kong’s liberation during an official stream. However, this decision and the severity of the punishment didn’t sit well with the community and soon #BoycottBlizzard started trending on Twitter....

Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night, a spiritual successor to Castlevania, will no longer launch for Wii U, creator producer Koji Igarashi has announced via the game’s Kickstarter blog. The good news is that all backers who chose the Wii U edition have the option to change their pledge to the PC, PS4, Xbox One, Vita, or newly announced Nintendo Switch version. “During our Kickstarter campaign, the Wii U was at the height of its popularity, but the situation has drastically changed after the release of Nintendo Switch,” wrote Igarashi....

There are a variety of different Fruits in Blox Fruits that, on consumption, allow players to dominate and either deal high intensity damage or activate other power ups that give you an upper hand.

When is Blue Protocol Coming Out in the West? Blue Protocol will be released in the second half of 2023 following the Japanese launch in early 2023. It will be free-to-play with optional cosmetic microtransactions. The publisher also mentions that it aims “to preserve Bandai Namco’s vision for Blue Protocol while ensuring the game is approachable to western players.” If this sounds suspiciously like what we heard about Lost Ark, that’s likely precisely because it is....

Borderlands 3 is buggy. In our experience with the game, we have encountered all sorts of issues, ranging from minor inconveniences to game-breaking bugs that have forced us to reset. The game is also missing some features that fans expected to be in at launch, and the missing options combined with the bugs have gone a long way in hurting what is otherwise a fun looter-shooter. Today Gearbox released a hot fix for Borderlands 3 that, instead of addressing the game’s major issues, nerfed loot drops in Mayhem mode and other areas of the game instead....

Broken Sword 5: The Serpent’s Curse will release worldwide on PS4 and Xbox One on September 4, Revolution has announced.

A new gameplay trailer released to mark the announcement can be seen below. “We are thrilled to be bringing Broken Sword 5 – the Serpent’s Curse to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in September – and delighted to be partnering, again, with Koch Media,” said Revolution CEO Charles Cecil....

This Brooklyn Nine-Nine review contains spoilers. Brooklyn Nine-Nine Season 7 Episode 5 Considering how funny I’ve found Vanessa Bayer as Debbie in her other appearances this season on Brooklyn Nine-Nine, you would think “Debbie,” in which Debbie becomes a coked-up antagonist to Jake and Rosa, would have been right up my alley, but somehow the episode slightly misses the mark. There’s plenty of laughs and even a solid emotional moment poignantly delivered by Stephanie Beatriz, but overall the episode never really gets going....

Remember the Halo: Reach Beta a few months ago? We had fun when we got our hands on it, but it took some time to adjust to the new armor abilities and weapons. We got a hang of the controls, pwning n00bz and t-bagging to our hearts content - but it looks like we may have to adjust to the controls once again when Reach finally hits store shelves in a few months....

Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare players will be able to earn Double XP all weekend, Sledgehammer has announced. The Double XP event starts at 5pm GMT today and runs all the way through to 5pm Monday night, with two new multiplayer playlists also being introduced to help mix up online play. ‘Hardcore Mosh Pit’ sees players face off in a mix of Team Deathmatch, Domination, Kill Confirmed and Search and Destroy, but with the same limited HUD, decreased health and friendly fire options usually found in Hardcore....

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 will receive Ranked Play in its multiplayer starting sometime next year, Call of Duty studio Treyarch announced this week. The developer did not confirm an exact date when the ranked modes will be coming to the recently released sequel in a tweet, but that it is working on features around the mode until then. The Ranked Play features include the competitive modes and rewards, ranked skill divisions, visible skill ratings, and a top 250 leaderboard....

Growing up, I didn’t have a lot of friends. I know, I know, “Boo-freaking-hoo.” But that was the reality of things. It wasn’t until my teens that I really started to connect with those who had a shared interest in the types of video games I was playing. Since I wasn’t a sports guy — even though I did actually play high school football and track — video games were my real escape....

Marquis gave the following statement on his and his team’s new venture: “Building upon 8 years of experience with Siege, we are excited to start with a blank page and the creative freedom to create a completely unique experience in the multiplayer space.”

This review contains spoilers. 2.4 The Greatest Story Ever Told One of the things you can say for American Gods is the show’s creative team still manages to pull in good actors for even the smallest of bit roles. For example, the one-off appearance of Vulcan in the first season was delightful—I mention it pretty often—because of the performance of Corben Bernsen, who has always been a fun actor to watch....

Valve has detailed how the current heatwave will affect its Steam Deck hardware, which will shut down completely in high temperatures. Even before this happens, performance will be “throttled” when the hardware is hot, Valve has said. Honestly, after the past couple of days, I can relate. “For our friends in the midst of a heatwave, a quick note about Steam Deck in high temperatures,” Valve wrote via Twitter last night....

Nintendo revealed the upcoming “Animal Crossing Spirits! Yes, Yes!” event that will go live in Super Smash Bros.

Bunny, to name a few....
