The annual Winterfest event has returned to Fortnite in 2022 with a new bag of gifts and a set of quests to help level up the battle pass. One of the quests has you damaging players immediately after popping out of a snowball, which requires a bit of setup. Here are the best locations to pop out of a giant snowball and damage players in the Fortnite Winterfest event. One of the quests introduced for week two of Winterfest 2022 is “Pop out of a giant snowball and damage players within 10 seconds,” and it requires 250 damage to complete the quest....

The PlayStation 5 has been out for a good while now, and many users will have expanded their game collections close to the internal hard drive’s maximum capacity. The Sony console’s 825GB storage is plenty if you’re only downloading a few must-play PS5 games, but, if you’re constantly downloading new titles and want to keep your saved progress, you might be struggling. That’s where this guide comes in. Here, we’ve rounded up the best external PS5 SSDs that we’ve tested so far....

We love a good role-playing game, we really do - being able to slip into the guise of a new character, whether it’s one you’ve created yourself or not, is a real treat. The best examples let you explore a new world and get to grips with interesting systems and quests, too. There have been countless superb RPGs during the life-cycle of the Xbox One and its variants, and while the Series X and Series S are on the scene now to usher in a new generation, that doesn’t change the fact that there are some classics to enjoy on the older hardware....

Speaking to Official Xbox Magazine, via GamesRadar, Creative Director Mac Walters has said that Mass Effect: Andromeda’s conversation system will not be based upon the Paragon/Renegade system seen in the series’ previous three entries. Walters stated that the decision to change from the red/blue dialogue wheel seen in other Mass Effect titles to something else was down to the fact that Paragon and Renegade ‘were very tied to the Shepard character, so they didn’t really make sense if we weren’t going to have Shepard as our protagonist....

The DC universe is getting more representation in the free-to-play platform fighter MultiVersus, as Black Adam is finally swooping in after a delay last week. Black Adam is a bruiser and brings some electrifying energy to the table, zapping atom particles and whatnot on his foes. But if you’re resistant to the change Black Adam will bring to Multiversus, you can at least strut onto the battlefield in style with some new Space Jam skins for Bugs Bunny and Taz....

Today Pearl Abyss released a full-fledged trailer showing off the gameplay of the awakening version of the newst class Drakania for the first time. She has a full dragon wing (only one), a double spear (yes, it’s actually two spears, not a spear and a shield), and… a chainmail cocktail dress? Don’t ask me. I don’t know. We also get a look at a cinematic cutscene to set the atmosphere....

Between the November launch and now, Treyarch has been beating the Season 1 drum for Black Ops Cold War.

The date was set for December 10 for a while, but Treyarch has decidedly pushed the launch date to December 16.

As BlizzCon approached, so did rumors of Overwatch 2. Blizzard constantly hinted at new content for the franchise and industry professionals gave tips of huge announcements happening at the convention. Well, it’s finally here!

Much like some rumors noted, it featured characters like Winston, Mei, and Tracer....

At the start of the new week, we received fresh rumors about a native PS5 version of the dark action RPG Bloodborne. So this apparently appeared in the user interface of the PS5. Bloodborne Coming To PS5? In the past few months, there have been rumors about a technically refurbished version of the action role-playing game Bloodborne for the PlayStation 5. In September last year, an insider reported on a PS5 version of Bloodborne....

Following on from our Ryzen 9 7900X and Ryzen 5 7600X review, it’s finally time to look at the two remaining CPUs in AMD’s Ryzen 7000 family: the $449/£439 Ryzen 7 7700X, a potential gaming value champ, and the $799/£769 Ryzen 9 7950X, a sixteen-core titan expected to outperform almost every consumer CPU in content creation workloads. We’ve seen significant price cuts on Ryzen 7000 processors since launch - so are these CPUs worth buying in 2023?...

The next Avengers film may still be years away. Still, the dynamic directing duo behind Infinity War and Endgame recently shared what the Avengers might look like — according to an AI image generator — if directed by the unlikely choice of Wes Anderson. Known for his quirky films with a distinct look, Anderson would certainly bring a different feel to the MCU. Of course, something like this is a complete pipe dream that might only be possible in a film like Beyond the Spiderverse where an Andersonesque Spider-Man could exist in another universe....

The new hero coming to Apex Legends has been found by players in Kings Canyon during matches, as reported by VG247. Crypto — the name fans have given the new character from datamined files — was first seen in the Battle Charge launch trailer, and a series of hints have been dropped by Respawn with each in-game event.

At WWDC (Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference) Craig Federighi, Apple’s senior VP and check-out-my-dad-jeans cool guy, announced that Apple are partnering with Valve and the Vive to bring VR are to iMacs and MacBooks. Apple is rolling out a new operating system called High Sierra, and more powerful iMacs and Macbooks (including the iMac Pro a ‘killer iMac‘ for professionals coming in December) and demonstrated using VR on their systems by getting developers from ILM and Unreal (John Knoll and Lauren Ridge, respectively) to drive a demo on stage....

Arrow is making a lot of effort in season 5 to get back to basics and bring the flavor of what people loved about season 1 to this much, much larger world. So far it’s been a bit of a mixed bag, but as the season gets closer to its big 100th episode crossover event spectacular, “Vigilante” brought things down to their grittiest. An immediate criticism of Arrow, in general, is its constant ping-ponging about whether or not to make Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell) a killer when he dons the Green Arrow moniker or not....

TV. Cars. D&D. Nothing is safe from the onslaught of Rick and Morty marketing. Absolutely. Nothing. First, it was an ad for Death Stranding where Rick wanted to eat the baby in a jar that kept him safe. Then it was a Dungeons & Dragons box-set expansion where Rick plays a mad wizard while Morty and his family have to do… something? It’s not all that clear since Morty’s family is typically incapable of doing anything to stop Rick’s designs....
