However, this doesn't mean that Olympus lacks verticality. In fact, it's quite the opposite. Despite essentially being a floating plate in the sky, Olympus has plenty of height difference between its many regions. Some, like the Hammond labs, sit in the center of artificial valleys, while others, such as Bonzai Plaza, feature towering skyscrapers that work perfectly with the Kraber 50. Cal Snip


The once-opulent city of Olympus was abandoned after a Phase Rift threatened to destroy it. The disaster was centered around a Phase research station, in the Phase Gateway region of the city, yet players will be able to use this Phase Rift to teleport by getting up close and personal in the Rift reg


The ability of Dire Wolf to capture the feel of Skyrim in its new set is definitely the biggest draw toward the expansion as a whole. Werewolves have innocuous abilities - or none at all - until an enemy is damaged enough that they lose a rune, and then they become powerful creatures with aggressively slanted keywords. Dragons are, quite suitably, some of the biggest, baddest cards in the entire game, and can often win on the spot unless they're answered quickly, which is how a dragon should f


For those unfamiliar, The Elder Scrolls: Legends is a game that has staked its reputation on being a hybrid of sorts - the same flash and nostalgia that fuels some of Hearthstone 's biggest moments with gameplay that is more closely aligned with Magic: the Gathering 's complicated, chess-like matches. That's been Legends ' selling point since day one, and it has definitely lived up to the billing, as its gameplay offers refreshing depth while still delivering an epic feel

Because as consumers we like to compare similar titles, Dragon Ball Legends does not replicate Dragon Ball FighterZ in a more portable form, but that would be an unrealistic expectation when the respective hardware is compared. Dragon Ball Legends does, however, seem to provide a competent touchscreen fighter that captures the fast paced mayhem of the franchise and some of their more popular video games. Dragon Ball Legends is a free-to-play fighter that features optional in-app purchases. It's slated for release sometime in summer and will be available in 52 countries.


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


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
Like its big brother on home console and PC, Dragon Ball Legends features team battles of three against three with the goal being to eliminate all of the opposing team's pugilists. The characters tap on the various cards to unleash different attacks, which during the demo session played by a couple Hardcore Gamer writers entailed a lot of lateral flying, throwing projectiles and charging into each other. There was also the matter of supercharged special moves that had to be the results of power levels being well above 9000, and with the controls and gameplay being so simplified and accessible the matches ended up being rather close, though chances are anyone who invests time into learning the ins and outs of this system could become quite a formidable foe.


After securing the rights to the title, Nintendo could've very well put the project on the back burner. This is likely for a couple of reasons, the first being stated above. The developers likely set their sights on a more profitable project for the Zelda franchise. The release of Link's Awakening coupled with the multiple partner projects Nintendo has had going with DeNA gives plenty of reason to put the project on h


Nintendo, partnered with DeNA, was widely rumored to have had a Legend of Zelda mobile title in the works back in 2017. The same rumor spread the belief that it would release following Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp . Well, Animal Crossing 's mobile release passed with no sign of Zelda in the wake. Now, as 2019 begins to peter try these guys out, there has been an influx of mobile titles released by Nintendo, yet still no sign of a Zelda release on the hori

The results for Hearthstone have been incredible, and since then, new competitors have sprung up in an effort to cash in on the online card playing craze. Dire Wolf Digital, a studio that also did the Eternal online card game, was recently entrusted with turning Bethesda's The Elder Scrolls franchise into the next big online card game. The Elder Scrolls: Legends has been a popular card game since its release, and although the game may not have as much clout, Bethesda and Dire Wolf have carved out a place for Legends all the s
