Treyarch has been known for adding a ton of free content to Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 ever since the game was released back in October, but I’ve honestly never seen them do anything like this. Today, the developer added the Kap-45 pistol as a part of the game’s new Barbarian Special Event Stream, which in-and-of-itself
Hey, remember Star Wars video games? It turns out, EA is still working on those.

Going with that, DICE reminded Star Wars Battlefront II players of their previously-announced plans regarding Count Dooku. Sorry—Lord Tyranus. Double
Hey Electronic Arts and EA Sports, want some unsolicited advice? Don’t worry — this isn’t about your use (or lack thereof) of the Star Wars license, nor a screed about microtransactions in game. No, this is something much simpler. Make NHL’s most beloved mascot, crown-jewel, and breakaway success–Gritty–the cover star of NHL 20. And you should make it

Optimism is becoming a scarce commodity. The year 2018 was particularly one rife with internal anxieties, external fears, and existential dread. As that year progressed, I kept thinking about a talk I saw in person one year ago—it was Waypoint’s Austin Walker at the NYU Game Center, about where video games belong in a time
