Image
Magic: The Gathering's Reality Fracture set launches this week, and despite the fact that we're leaving Middle-Earth behind and have Star Trek yet to come , this feels like the most exciting Magic set on the horizon — Universes Beyond or Universes Within. MTG Reality Fracture is Selling Out Fast The set sees Jace Beleren reshaping the multiverse to what he feels it should be, twisting new versions of iconic characters and cards in the process. There are also some neat lore implications to this "Echoverse", including Strixhaven's schools being twisted into Hexhaven versions.

Delta Force Celebrates Its Second Anniversary with New Season Reorientation

Image
Delta Force’s mission has always been to incorporate player feedback to create the best experience possible for its players. As Delta Force players prepare for the free-to-play first-person tactical shooter’s second anniversary, the developers at Team Jade have been hard at work, listening to two years of player feedback as the game has evolved since its initial PC launch, since coming to mobile and Xbox Series X|S. The second-anniversary celebration kicks off September 26th, with daily tasks that offer players the chance to grab up to 3900 limited-time Delta Tickets, and new collectibles like a new legendary appearance for the AUG, called Golden State. But Team Jade also has big plans for the game's future content, which includes anniversary rewards, a suite of new gameplay experiences, and quality-of-life improvements. Delta Force is getting a serious – and seriously major – upgrade. The roadmap is evidence of how Delta Force uses community feedback to expand the range of ways pl...

Marvel's Wolverine Dev Adds Option to Turn Off Controversial Scent Trails and More in New Update

Image
Insomniac Games has published a new Marvel's Wolverine update that adds an option to turn off those controversial scent trails for collectibles. The Sony developer made good on its promise to investigate a proper on/off option when version 1.001.006 launched just hours ago. Its patch notes reveal more targeted changes as the studio works out the remaining kinks that have emerged in the days since Marvel's Wolverine launched for PlayStation 5. There are three new toggle settings that players can now use to customize their gameplay experience: one for Whiskey Bottle scent trails, one for Material Crate Audio Clues, and one for Nightmare Door Roots. Those first two proved to be an especially hot topic online, with players criticizing in-game hints as one of a few examples of a game many feel is too 'hand-holdy.' Adding the option to completely turn these guides off should quiet those concerns, with a toggle for Nightmare Door Roots adding even more freedom for players t...

How to Play the Silent Hill Games in Order

Image
Silent Hill has appeared in the restless dreams of horror fans for almost three decades now. The foggy town and its various iterations, plagued by the Otherworld, continue to define the mechanics and ambience of psychological horror to this day. Each Silent Hill game contains a relatively standalone story, tied to whatever character the Otherworld has decided to bring to its doorstep. However, the lore of Silent Hill develops across games through returning characters as well as memos, posters, and other small details. Despite its fill of contradictions, some of which are only natural for games with multiple endings, there’s a larger story lurking in the background of each protagonist’s path to atonement (or madness). If the release of Silent Hill: Townfall has sparked your curiosity about how the timeline all fits together, we’ve got you covered. Note: This is not a timeline of the town of Silent Hill, which is revealed throughout games, comics, books, and other supplementary materi...
