Diablo III’s 25th season, in celebration of the franchise’s 25th anniversary, will let players embrace the powers of the Lords of Hell via a new type of socketable item: Soul Shards.

As detailed by Blizzard, season 25 introduces seven unique Soul Shards for players to find and upgrade. Three of the shards are inspired by the franchise’s three Prime Evils, aka Diablo, Mephisto, and Baal. The remaining four are regarded as Lesser Evil Soul Shards, and players can only have one Prime Evil Shard and Lesser Evil shard equipped at a time. Prime Evil shards are socketed into helms, while Lesser Evil shards are socketed into weapons.

Former Batgirl directors Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah recently talked about their optimism about someday, in some way, fans will be able to see the first live-action Batgirl movie with Leslie Grace in the titular role. They’ve confirmed that meetings with James Gunn, newly-made co-head of DC Films, have occurred, but with the movie’s fate still aetherial, the two opened up about the traumatic experience of the movie getting canceled in the first place.

“At that time, it was pretty unprecedented, so it was like movie history, but in a crazy way,” El Arbi told Deadline during a press event for their new film, Rebel. He continued by saying that there’s nothing that they could do to coax WB Discovery into releasing the film at the moment. He did theorize that the current comeback success of Brendan Fraser with The Whale, who played the villainous pyromaniac Firefly, could boost Batgirl’s chances of resurrection.

“Should it maybe be released, there’s still a lot of work to be done and I don’t know if they are really going to go back for that,” he said.

“We got so much support from the whole industry from directors to screenwriters to studio people that really s…

Mini PCs are a great option for frugal shoppers, as they can offer a surprising amount of power at low prices. They’re also perfect for a cramped home office, as their small footprint is easier to manage than either a laptop or a traditional tower. As you’d expect, a bunch of mini PCs are on sale for Black Friday–many of which are discounted by up to $125.

One of the best deals right now is for the Beelink SER5 Max, as it’s down to $322 from $439. Equipped with a Ryzen 7 5800H, 32GB RAM, 500GB SSD, and designed to run on up to three displays, it’s quite powerful for such a small rig. It can handle some light gaming, though it’s more suited for indies than graphically intensive AAA games.

Halo Infinite’s co-op campaign isn’t officially coming until around the end of the game’s first season in May 2022, but that hasn’t stopped a number of players from enabling the mode anyway, though it seems doing so may put your game saves at risk.

As spotted on the Halo subreddit, someone has managed to glitch their way into split-screen campaign co-op. We’ve managed to replicate this ourselves using instructions that have since been shared online, confirming that it does indeed work.

On Twitter, user nobleactual posted instructions on how to replicate the glitch along with a short clip clearly showing co-op working, albeit with a number of caveats. For starters, player two has no HUD. The game’s FOBs (Forward Operating Bases) are completely busted, and if either player dies, the game locks up. Trying to enable co-op may also break your game saves, with nobleactual stating that their saves eventually refused to load after hours of trying to reproduce the glitch. Another user, HaloDotAPI, also confirmed that using the co-op glitch broke their saves, forcing them to delete them.

Nobleactual does confirm that player two in …

GTA Online is still vastly popular in 2022 and attracts new players every single day. Whether it’s because the allure of Los Santos is still as potent as it was in 2013 or the new current-generation upgrades, newcomers have been flocking to the online world as of late. One of the biggest questions that most players have when first starting up a new character, aside from the obvious ones, is whether or not the Criminal Enterprise Starter Pack is worth it. This starter pack comes with up to $10 million worth of property and other items but this is only if players were to buy everything included separately. Some of the items you will receive in the pack won’t ever be used and you can’t trade them in either.

As such, it’s worth wondering whether the starter pack is actually worth it to jumpstart your career in GTA Online. While Rockstar Games claims the Criminal Enterprise Starter Pack is the fastest way to begin your career of criminality in the online world, that very well could be simple marketing fodder. To find out what’s inside the Criminal Enterprise Starter Pack and see if it’s worth your real-life money, keep reading below.

Looking for God of War Ragnarok guides? You’ve come to the right place. In God of War Ragnarok, Kratos and Atreus find themselves in a colder, more dangerous version of the nine realms we saw in 2018’s soft reboot. The game is, as expected, massive in size and scope, and it’ll take any player a long time to experience it all. That also means it may very well be a daunting, sometimes difficult game to overcome, but it doesn’t have to be. With our God of War Ragnarok guides all in one place–right here!–you can not just get off to a strong start, but find the guidance you need every step of the way. Who’s ready for another father-son bonding experience?

It should be noted that because some of this content is best played in the post-story portion of the game, you should consider this guide–and each of those linked within it–to contain spoilers, even as we’ve not actually spoiled the story. But inferences can be made from some of this content, so proceed knowing that in advance.

Gotham Knights, like many games that offer the choice, is better in co-op. Beating up evil-doers is simply more fun when you have a sidekick. Of course, in this game, you’re both technically sidekicks, but since Batman is dead, it’ll be up to you to defend the city that meant everything to him. In this guide, we’ll walk you through your co-op options within Gotham Knights, including an explainer on cross-play, details on the forthcoming four-player mode, and a guide on how to change the privacy of your game so you can or can’t be joined by others.

Gotham Knights cross-play

The big burning question is whether Gotham Knights has cross-play or not. The answer, which will disappoint some players, is it does not. You’ll be limited to playing as Batgirl, Robin, Red Hood, or Nightwing with your co-op partner on the same platform, be it Xbox, PC, or PS5. As the last-gen versions were also scrapped, there’s no cross-gen play either. It’s a simple solution, though likely not the one people were hoping for.

Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War’s weekly update arrived on Thursday April 29, and this week introduces a new Gunfight tournament to the playlist, some small updates for challenges, and fixes for Zombies.

Cold War’s 2v2 Gunfight tournaments are back with more exclusive rewards that are earned by winning and fighting your way through the tournament bracket. Luckily, Treyarch announced that you’re still able to earn the tournament rewards from the previous Gunfight tournament, so you don’t have to worry about missing out. You just need to fight through the bracket and win twice, as Gunfight tournament prizes are now queued. The tournament will be available from now until May 6.

The recent release date reveal of God of War Ragnarok has left many fans happily riding the hype train at full blast toward November 9. In an unbelievable display of skill and appreciation, one such person has been spotted using the sand on a beach in Taiwan to sculpt a stunning recreation of the upcoming game’s cover art.

Reddit user spqp shared an image of an unnamed sculptor working diligently on the massive sculpture of Kratos and Atreus at Fulong Beach in Taiwan. According to spqp, the beach was being used as part of an exhibition, but this was the only piece of God of War art on display.

While the lower portion of the sculpture appears unfinished at the time of the photo, the level of detail across the board is downright staggering. Kratos’ beard and the fur on the father and son duo’s armor prove that the artist is dedicated to meticulousness. With so much to admire already, we can only hope pictures will someday emerge of the fully completed sand art.

In recent days, Sony has finally shared some new details on God of War Ragnarok’s story, revealing that Kratos and Atreus will be visiting all Nine Realms of Asgard this time around as they prepare for a b…

Warner Bros. Entertainment has released a new gameplay trailer for Gotham Knights, showing off the different navigation and combat styles of Dick Grayson, aka Nightwing, and Jason Todd, aka Red Hood. The gameplay looks…okay. It certainly doesn’t look terrible–the far greater tragedy is that Gotham Knights has apparently nerfed Grayson’s magnificent ass, which looks positively flat in all the gameplay.

Gotham Knights utilizes a combat system of parries, dodges, and special strikes that looks similar to the Batman: Arkham series. The game seems to feature a similar navigation system as well, allowing you to stealth your way through encounters and carefully move from building to building to reach your objective.

Thursday has rolled around, meaning another GTA Online update has just been unleashed from the Rockstar Games pipeline. The update on June 16 mainly centers around trader missions, specifically those involving Imports and Exports along with Special Cargo. Players can receive executive bonuses, namely double the GTA$ and RP, on these missions. Of course, in order to reap the maximum benefits from the bonuses, players need to be a CEO so they have the ability to buy and sell Special Cargo. They will also need to own a Vehicle Warehouse to participate in the Import/Export Sell Missions. The double rewards on these missions are active until June 22, so start racking up those trades as quickly as possible.

Also included in the update are two free vehicles, one being the Armored Karin Kuruma and the other being the Grotti Turismo Classic. The former is simply free for any player that visits Southern San Andreas Super Autos before June 23 and the latter is the Prize Ride for this week. To claim the Prize Ride, players need to head to the LS Car Meet and place in the top five in meet races for four days in a row. If players complete their Prize Ride challenge early, they can stay …
