At this point, that should be enough to get players excited for the event and ready to start preparing. Stay tuned for more details as the actual start date approaches. Be sure to check back in the comings days for more Wizards Unite strategy guides, news, and updates. Until then, keep your wands at the re


Borderlands Legends brings back the cast of the original Borderlands - Mordecai, Lilith, Brick and Roland - in a wave-based shooter. Missions are randomized, characters can be leveled up, and players will be able to take advantage of a "strategic cover system." Conspicuously absent from the Legends ad is any mention of multiplayer, which is a huge part of Borderlands' allure on conso


Portal 2 , Skyrim , and Batman: Arkham City are just a few of the games (as expected) earned multiple nominations, but Uncharted 3 - even as acclaimed as it was - is not in the running for "Game of the Year." Other titles with multiple nominations include L.A. Noire , Battlefield 3 , and Basti


While it isn't the most well-known MMO property - that's still reserved for giants like World of Warcraft and Final Fantasy XIV - SoulWorker has been making a name for itself over the years as a quality anime MMO experience that offers several different selling points that help differentiate it from the rest. It's been a popular game in its own right, too, with consistent updates and an active, passionate community supporting


The upcoming Wizarding Weekend event in Harry Potter: Wizards Unite begins on July 24 and tasks players with spending a weekend encountering some legends of Hogwarts in the mobile AR game. Foundables up for grabs include Dumbledore, Young Ginny, Remus, and a handful of other iconic characters from the franchise.There are a ton of bonuses and features to take advantage of during the event, so start preparing for the celebration right


While Teyvat may have, in many ways, been inspired by real life cultures and governments, plenty of work was put into developing the world. Every time the creators of that world make a decision on a piece of lore, no matter the size, they have to ask themselves the question that players might ask: "But why?" They must come up with an answer to this question for every storytelling device they conceive. And miHoYo has done this on a massive scale in one game versus the many entries it took Nintendo to establish Hyrule in Zelda . So by saying that Genshin Impact is just a Breath of the Wild knockoff or clone , it could diminish the work the developer put into crafting this unique l


In Breath of the Wild , players take on the role of Link, the tried and true protagonist of the Zelda franchise. Players have grown to know Link and his trials and tribulations over the past 34 years. As such, everyone knows Link is a mute, blank slate of a protagonist that must save the land of Hyrule through the power of cour


While developer and publisher miHoYo has said in the past that The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild was a major influence on its development of Genshin Impact , there are some clear differences between the two that it could be seen like comparing apples and oranges. That is to say that while they're both fruit, they're selling different experiences, especially when it comes to the characters, the world building, and the multipla


All of the winners will be announced during the awards ceremony at the Game Developers Conference in San Francsisco on March 7th at 6:30 pm at the Moscone Convention Center. For more information on the 12th Annual Game Developers Choice Awards, please visit the official site of the GDC 2012 Awar


Most of you who clicked on this article must already know, but for years now, Falcom always releases one new game a year. And always on the last week of September. Hajimari no Kiseki is the sole exception as it launched on August 27, 2020. As such, it's surprising to hear Falcom will release at least two games in 2021. But makes sense considering it'll be a special year with the 40th annivers


However, it seems this open world and the mechanics that come along with it have caused several players to talk for other reasons. Many players have taken to social media to compare the game to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild , calling it various nicknames like "Anime of the Wild" or "Breath of the Waifu" for its anime-like style Arena Of Valor builds art. And while some players seem to feel that this comparison to the beloved Nintendo Switch title might be a compliment, it might actually be doing Genshin Impact a disserv


Genshin Impact , on the other hand, features 24 playable characters that seem completely fleshed-out, each with their own motivations and goals in Teyvat. Not only that, but these characters each have a unique feel to them with their own abilities that reflect their personalities, even within the same Element and Weapon type. Kaeya and Qiqi may both be long sword users that specialize in Cryo, but their skill sets are completely different from each other. Add in the fact that players can switch between multiple characters during combat on the fly, and it seems clear that Genshin Impact is striving for a different character experience than Breath of the Wi
