Most of us already know and love Tetris, but over the past year games like Tetris Effect and now Tetris 99 show how resilient the classic puzzle game is. While Tetris Effect displayed that it could be part of a truly spectacular visual and auditory experience, Tetris 99 answers a question that not many have
I know what you’re thinking: “Rainbow Six Siege would make a great battle royale. If Tetris can do it, anyone can!” Well, I come to you bearing some bad news. Ubisoft will not be delving into the popular genre with its first-person shooter. With franchises like Call of Duty and Titanfall tackling the battle royale
I’ve accumulated more than 1000 hours in battle royale (BR) games since they’ve become popular. Between PUBG, Fortnite, Blackout, Ring of Elysium, and now Apex Legends, I’ve gotten a lot of chicken dinners, a bunch of victories, I’ve escaped in a helicopter, and I have a few victory royales. It seems like Respawn Entertainment knows
Ever have over a million dollars in microtransactions dropped in your lap? Yeah, me neither. However… that’s not to say it doesn’t happen. An Apex Legends player is reporting he was gifted over 125 million Apex Coins. In case you are counting, that would be roughly $1.1 in EA and Respawn in-game currency. News comes from Reddit
It’s always heartening when companies put down their corporate schtick to play nice with each other. Whether it is major game studios celebrating with competitors during flagship launches or the typical PR banter, it’s always a nice feel-good story for the press. Yet, in an odd turn, Epic Vice President (i.e. Fortnite) deleted his congratulations to
What’s up everyone, it’s ya boi: DualShockers, comin’ at you with all that Fortnite Twitch news. If you haven’t been following the Twitch circuit, there has been a pretty great competition for a new world record: most kills in One-Shot mode.

In a year one might argue is huge for video games, 2018 seemed to have quite a few surprises and game trailer reveals. From E3 bringing us the likes of The Elder Scrolls VI, Cyberpunk 2077, Beyond Good & Evil 2, Ghost of Tsushima, The Last of Us Part 2, and much much more –
The Infinity Blade from Infinity Blade has been “vaulted” from Fortnite following backlash against its effect on the game.

The H1Z1 Pro League is shutting down according to ESPN. This comes after dwindling viewers and failed stipend payments to participating teams.

A rapper from Brooklyn named “2 Milly” is planning to file a lawsuit against Fortnite developer Epic Games for allegedly stealing his choreography for an emote in-game that players can purchase. Apparently, the rapper’s signature move – titled the “Milly Rock” – had been circulating the internet for a while before Epic Games used it as
Fortnite‘s newest patch is no short of weird, adding a full on Tachanka-style mounted turret into the game for players to spray each other with bullets. Not just that, but an all-new Limited Time game mode featuring a yuge wall that pits two teams against one another has been added. The update also features the removal
