Throughout Jedi: Fallen Order , BD-1 is upgraded with various abilities and gadgets to help in combat. One of his best abilities is hacking into Imperial droids. Once they reach a certain amount of health, BD will hop right onto them. He will start hacking away and usually sings a little tune while he does it. It is an adorable and very useful abil

In the modern era of storytelling, a well-done cinemagraphic companion show would allow bring the stories of the Legend of Zelda series to new generations while giving the longtime fans a chance to relive the gaming experiences that transformed their childh

He impresses the importance of strategy and communication, including how to deal with teammates in high-pressure, heated moments. In those cases, Ninja suggests listening carefully to your teammates and learning from their perspectives as well. He does NOT suggest raging at them for blocking the door while you were trying to escape an enemy — not that I know anything about t

Regardless, the third person nature of Garden Warfare perfectly encapsulates the silly and straight fun nature of the tower defense game it is based on. This game has great balance, tons of content, and is fitting for any gamer young or old. New or experienced gamers alike will get something out of this chaotic shoo

As a writer, Hagopian may have entered the world of battle royale games unsure of his purpose. But given the tremendous amount of fan support for apex legends weapons Legends over the last year, one would hope he has fully realized his purpose by

At the new incarnation of Geyser, which looks far more desolate than before, Revenant shows off the new bolt-action sniper rifle. Called the Sentinel, it purportedly has some type of charge mechanic, though it will be hard to understand how it differs from a weapon such as the Charge Rifle until players can test it on their

The trailer also shows off Revenant’s totem, once again reflecting this Jekyll-and-Hyde theme that shows players in two different physical states. Players who go near it morph into shadow versions of themselves. This is similar to what players saw during Halloween’s Fright or Flight event, which may have secretly been a test event for the shadow abil

It dawned on me only recently that the two characters with which I have the most wins — Lifeline and Wattson — are upbeat, helpful characters. Though unconscious, my choice to play these characters seems to be a reflection of how I see myself. Regardless of whether this is true for every Apex Legends player, it reinforces the value of developing characters that represent diverse backgrounds and worldvi

Persona 3 marked a turning point for a franchise that still had a long way to go before it could get away from the shadow of its origin series, Shin Megami Tensei . With the integration of social sim mechanics and a proper calendar of sorts, the game turned into something truly spectacular ind

Horizon Zero Dawn is full of robots, but the largest and most menacing is known as the Thunderjaw. The Thunderjaw is practically a T-Rex on steroids. It has lasers, a razor-sharp tail, missile launchers, and stands significantly taller than Aloy . It is hard to believe that this creature can be killed, but the feeling, once it is dead, is pure adrenal

Clank is similar to BT-7274 in that the personality between the two characters is a strong bond. Even though Cooper and BT's personalities are more serious, Ratchet and Clank still have a similar relationship in a lighter tone. Clank's ability to be smart and funny in serious situations is enjoyable. Clank would make the perfect companion to any

The game really turned into something memorable with its cast of amazing characters , with Aigis being one such party member who's pretty memorable. This android's mysterious past makes her a great character in and of itself, further supplemented by the fact that she becomes the protagonist in Persona 3 's epilo

Dead Space combined the creepiness that Resident Evil 4 presented with an industrial sci-fi setting that was rarely used back then. Dead Space 2 is arguably a perfect sequel. It improved on the clunky mechanics from the first game, improved the visual quality, level design, weapon arsenal, enemy design, you name it— Dead Space 2 improved

Netflix's new series The Witcher , based on the popular video game series, indicates there's a strong market for live action series based on beloved games. While many studios have tried ( and largely failed ) with film adaptations, streaming television services tend to be a more forgiving medium. Budgets are typically smaller, and with that, productions are lower-risk than films, which seek recouped costs with large-scale theatrical releases. To date, TV networks have aired a handful of shows based on video games, primarily targeted toward kids or anime audiences. However, there’s been little in the way of live-action television adaptations of games for primarily adult audien
