This week, we reported on diligent, game-breaking Tears of the Kingdom players figuring out how to attain an item they’ve been trying to acquire for ages. Also, after years in production hell, the Borderlands movie is finally here and critics are not liking it! We also rounded up the biggest announcements out of QuakeCon, and more. Read on!
Getting the Master Sword in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom feels great. After dozens of hours of dealing with ugly fused weapons and broken gear, you finally get the sword of legend. But it’s still far from perfect. While it can’t break, it can lose its power and have to recharge. The Master Sword from the game’s opening prologue doesn’t have that same weakness, though, and players have spent months trying to find a way to get that version instead. - Ethan Gach Read More
Today is the start of Diablo IV’s Season of the Infernal Hordes. It adds a new mode, quests, and a ton of rebalancing. It also accidentally let players carry over their Legendary Tempering recipes from last season, and Blizzard is being generous and giving the bug a pass this time around. - Ethan Gach Read More

Helldivers 2 received a big new patch today ahead of its Freedom’s Flame Warbond later this week and it has players feeling burned and betrayed. The update brought big changes to the existing flamethrower which is no longer melting heavily-armored Charger enemies with ease and the community is already in open revolt over the unexpected crackdown on intergalactic arson. - Ethan Gach Read More

EA College Football 25 is one of the biggest and most popular games of 2024. So it’s no surprise that the game is continuing to receive a lot of support, including a new free update that adds new uniforms, plays, and makes a bunch of changes to abilities, athlete recruitment, and more. - Zack Zwiezen Read More
The high-school zombie hack-and-slash revival is almost upon us. The LolliPop Chainsaw remaster, called RePOP, is coming out earlier than expected with a price tag that has some fans scratching their heads. - Ethan Gach Read More
Disney’s popular streaming service is set to receive yet another price hike, marking the fourth increase for the streamer since it launched in 2019. The new ad-free tier of Disney+ will soon cost $16 a month. It comes as Disney and other companies continue to try and squeeze more profit out of expensive-to-run streaming services and before some recent hits, like Inside Out 2, arrive at home this fall. - Zack Zwiezen Read More
