With each week of content inDestiny 2,a new Nightfall Strike rolls around. This is a more difficult version of a particular strike,bringing with it a specific weapon rewardfor you to farm. While it can only drop as a potential reward from lower difficulties, Grandmaster Nightfalls give a guaranteed Adept version of the weapon. On occasion, the weapon of the week is a particularly good sniper. Here’s the god roll for the Uzume RR4 sniper rifle inDestiny 2, including perks and attachments....

Uh, okay Destinyhas been in a rut for sometime. Nearly everyone I know has called it quits again after farming the Wrath of the Machine challenges, and the Winter update, while a nice gesture, essentially amounts to an extra Strike and a new scoreboard. So what else do we have to look forward to untilDestiny 2hits? Not a whole lot, apparently. Bungie explains that it will not be hosting a Crimson Days Valentine’s event this year, because it’s “too busy” working on something else for an upcoming update in the spring....

Back in October of this year, Capcom turned the heads of more than a few old-school gamers (including my own), when they announced that a newBionic Commandogame was in development for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC — and was looking to woo a new generation of fans in the way that the NES version captivated many of us in 1988. In the vein of its predecessor,Bionic Commandoonce again has you taking control of the man with the golden arm, in his quest to right a few wrongs....

Sales events > release date Even major studios are afraid of fall release dates, withCall of Duty, Assassin’s Creedand other annualized series sweeping up the market from September to December. Yet, Torn Banner, developer ofChivalry: Medieval Warfare, settled on an October 16 release. After months of increasing sales, studio co-founder Steve Piggot has no regrets. “I would not change our release date. You probably won’t hear many indies say that about the fall, but Steam is so snowball-ey,” Piggot said, “if you can get on the top and roll down the hill with sale events, you can hit at the right time....

I love theme parks and I love dungeon crawling, so when I heard Critical Studios would combine the two for their debut action-RPG, I got a bit giddy. Much likeMagicka, which shares the same publisher (Paradox),DungeonLandis a loot-centric, co-op clickfest that has the action ofDiabloand the comedic ambitions ofPortal. There are a lot ofDiabloclones on the market as of late, not to mentionDiablo IIIitself.DungeonLandstands out for a couple reasons....

Upon its release,Doomestablished itself as a blueprint for the then-new first-person shooter genre. Going on to become one of the most iconic PC games in all existence, id Software’s FPS retains its legacy as it turns 30 years old. To celebrate the occasion, John Carmack and John Romero – both of whom played a pivotal role in the game’s development – reflect on their time spent working onDoom. As you can imagine, it holds a lot of fond memories for the pair, who some have described as gaming’s equivalent of Lennon and McCartney....

Fans even went as far to dub this non-existent new gamePokemon Gray, which makes sense given the names ofPokemon BlackandWhite, and[SPOILERS]you may catch a gray legendary inPokemon BlackandWhite, who would make a great mascot forPokemon Gray....

While we can seehow far the series has comeover just two games when it comes to its tech and mechanics, part of us also has to wonder whatHorizonwould have looked like back in the day… in say 1996, for example....
