Senator Accuses Valve Of Allowing Hate To Spread On Steam

By • March 18, 2025 • comments off

Since its launch in 2003, Steam has grown to become one of the biggest digital stores for PC games Come from malaysia online casino . But bringing so many players together has also had some unexpected consequences in the real world. Now, Virginia Senator Mark Warner is accusing Steam’s parent company, Valve, of allowing hate speech, white-supremacist content, and even comments praising terrorists to go unchallenged by the company.

Warner shared his letter with Bloomberg, and addressed his concerns to Valve co-founder Game Newell. Citing a recent report from the Anti-Defamation League’s Center for Extremism, Warner writes that Steam has become “an unsafe place for teens and young adults to purchase and play online games” and adds that if the Valve fails to address these issues then it will allow “harmful ideologies to spread and take root among the next generation.”

25 Things Coming To Madden NFL 25

By • March 14, 2025 • comments off

The summer is nearly here, and that means Madden season is upon us once again. Madden NFL 25 features Niners halfback Christian McCaffrey on the cover and improved rushing mechanics befitting of the superstar in the game itself. But this year’s game is going to be more than that. We recently spent a day at EA Orlando (formerly Tiburon) to check out Madden 25 in advance of its launch this August and came back with 25 things the Madden community should know before they strap on their shoulder pads for Madden 25.

Boom Tech

In the third year of EA’s “Fieldsense” experiment–that being the team’s slow and steady rebuild of Madden’s core on-field gameplay and mechanics–it’s Boom Tech that’s taking center stage. Though Boom Tech is the type of juicy marketable term EA always builds into a game launch, the underlying gameplay changes were apparent in my hands-on time with the game.

So what is it? Boom Tech is Madden 25’s overhauled physics and collis…

CoD- Black Ops Cold War Zombies Outbreak- How To Complete Operation Excision Storyline Quest

By • March 14, 2025 • comments off

Call of Duty’s Season 4 arrived on June 17, which continues the “Dark Aether” narrative for Black Ops Cold War’s Zombies with a new Outbreak storyline quest. Along with the new Zoo Outbreak map, additional features were added for players to complete the “Operation Excision” quest.

Operation Excision’s storyline serves as the “narrative prologue” for the new Mauer der Toten round-based map coming later in Season 4. This new quest is one of the more simplistic storyline challenges we’ve seen in Zombies, so this is a great time for new or casual players to try their hand at completing a main quest, and our guide for Operation Excision is here to make the challenge as painless as possible.

Because of the simplistic nature of Operation Excision, you won’t need a specific loadout in order to complete the quest. You’ll want to spend the first two rounds just doi…

Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake Review – History Repeats

By • February 5, 2025 • comments off

You really can’t understate how historically important Dragon Quest III is. This is not just any JRPG–to players in Japan, it’s the defining JRPG, a game that set sales records and truly made Dragon Quest an inextricable part of Japanese pop culture. To this day, it’s recognized and referenced in all manner of media, and its wild success is the subject of both nostalgic fascination and urban legends.

With such a pedigree behind it, it’s no surprise that Square Enix has seen fit to re-release Dragon Quest III numerous times, with this HD-2D Remake edition being the latest–and also the most lavish–to date. Logic dictates that a game like this deserves a red-carpet treatment. But unlike Final Fantasy, which is no stranger to changing things up in its recent sequels and remakes, the old-fashioned elements of Dragon Quest’s gameplay remain untouched no matter what.

Halo Infinite Launch Was Like A Runner Tripping And Falling At The Finish Line, Xbox Boss Says

By • February 5, 2025 • comments off

Microsoft Studios boss Matt Booty has discussed Halo Infinite’s launch, saying the launch was akin to a runner coming across the finish line and then tripping and falling down.

“The classic runner’s mistake of tripping and stumbling as you come across the finish line. We’ve got to recover there. The burden is on us,” he said.

Kingdom Hearts 2.5 HD 2.5 ReMIX Review

By • January 18, 2025 • comments off

Early in the Kingdom Hearts 2.5 storyline, Sora, an idealistic boy rocketing out of childhood and into adolescence, says goodbye to a group of potential new friends as he waits to board a train that will shoot him off to the stars and into a grand new adventure. And although he’s just met these ragtag teens who are dreading the end of their summer vacation and trying to score their next batch of sea salt ice cream, a single tear rolls down Sora’s cheek as he waves farewell.

The moment shouldn’t work. Its power rests on delving into the depths of a comically complex conspiracy tale involving metaphysical doppelgangers, simulated realities, and hyperbolic teen angst. But, the moment does work. In fact, the romantic, sincere innocence of Kingdom Hearts still carries an emotional punch, powerful on its own merits and just as affecting today as it was at its genesis.

Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 Remix is a relic of childhood and early teenage blossoming…

Diablo 4 Season 3 Adds Weekly Challenge Dungeons, A New Endgame Activity

By • January 17, 2025 • comments off

Diablo IV’s Season 3 will add a new endgame activity in the form of a weekly challenge dungeon called The Gauntlet, which will see players competing to earn the top spots on the game’s leaderboards for both fame and exclusive cosmetic rewards.

The mode sounds similar to Diablo III’s Challenge Rifts, although players participating in The Gauntlet in Diablo IV Season 3 will be bringing their own characters and builds into the dungeon this time around. Each week, all players will compete by running the same “fixed seed linear dungeon” to earn high scores, with speed and efficiency being of the essence. The Gauntlet is on a timer, and killing enemies and completing the dungeon quickly will earn players points that contribute to their score. To encourage efficiency, loot will only drop at the end of The Gauntlet and not from defeated enemies along the way.

HBO's The Last of Us Cold Opening Was Originally Completely Different

By • January 17, 2025 • comments off

HBO’s The Last of Us is a bonafide hit right out of the gate and is praised for its acting, music, and action, and was HBO’s second most-watched debut since 2010–the first being 2022’s House of the Dragon. There are side-by-side comparisons of how the show was filmed and the footage from the game and it’s mostly spot-on.

Something that showrunner Craig Mazin wanted to include though was a cold opening that would act as foreshadowing of the events of the world to come and how fungi like cordyceps actually work in the real world. In the show, we see a talk show segment explaining the possibility of a worldwide pandemic and how a scientist, played by John Hannah (The Mummy), isn’t worried about bacteria, but actual fungi. The audience and the host laugh it off, but he goes into how cordyceps don’t kill but control their inhabitants. It’s an unlikely scenario since they only work in a host at a certain temp, but then there’s a moment of curious shock when the doctor proposes what…

League Of Legends Introduces New Seasonal Model With Welcome To Noxus

By • January 17, 2025 • comments off

For the past 15 years, League of Legends’ seasons have been just a part of the game’s ranked competitive play, with little impact on lore or events. From 2025, Riot will introduce a new seasonal model that’s closer to other live-service games, with each year split up into three seasons that will tell a story based on one of the game’s regions. The first, arriving in January, will be titled Welcome to Noxus.

The new seasons are a major overhaul for the long-running MOBA, with Welcome to Noxus launching as LoL: Season One. Each season will run for around eight patches, or 16 weeks, and most gameplay updates, modes, minigames, and champions will be connected to the season’s overarching narrative. Each season will feature two battle passes, which will function similarly to LoL’s current Event Pass, with both a paid and a free track. A number of extraneous rewards systems scattered across the game will be streamlined, with the free battle pass track collecting most rewards in one p…
