<![CDATA[CrossfireX Brings Its Famous Shooting Experience To Xbox One!]]> https://gurugamer.com/pc-console/crossfirex-brings-its-famous-shooting-experience-to-xbox-one-7841 Wed, 20 Nov 2019 06:47:00 +0000 https://gurugamer.com/pc-console/crossfirex-brings-its-famous-shooting-experience-to-xbox-one-7841
The Counter-Strike-like game has attracted tons of players with the first PC game, and now, it's time for consoles!]]>

Back in E3, we're very surprised at Phil Spencer's reveals of CrossfireX - an insanely popular first-person shooter coming exclusively for Xbox One. We thought that it was a joke at that time, but Phil has proved that he's the man of his words. In X019, Microsoft was very excited to announce that CrossfireX will be available for Xbox One very soon!

Together with this announcement, it also gave us a reveal trailer of the game as well, and it's freaking beautiful! I don't know why they named this gameplay teaser "Black Widow", but I'm not complaining either.

You can have a look at the trailer below:

About CrossfireX

CrossfireX is the brainchild of three phenomenal teams - Smilegate Entertainment - the independent developer in Seoul who has spent decades to craft incredible multiplayer FPS game for the Crossfire franchise; Remedy Entertainment - the narrative expert from Finland that has blown the soul winds to many great titles such as Alan Wake and Control, and of course - Xbox - the one helping those developers bringing their masterpiece to Microsoft's console.

Crossfirex Xbox One Announced 4
CrossfireX is the result of joint efforts of Slimegate Entertainment, Remedy, and Xbox

From those names, you can already guess what's good with CrossfireX. Continuing the familiar concept of the Crossfire - the multiplayer shooter that has attracted 650 million gamers to register, CrossfireX will still follow the intense gunfire of two opposing sides: The Global Risk and the Black List.

Crossfirex Xbox One Announced 3
Continues the hype of Crossfire with a brand new single-player campaign mode

To be more specific, the Global Risk is the veteran soldiers armed carefully with modern technology, fighting to protect the world's peace and security. On the other side, Black List is a group of mercenaries that has decent experience with tactical fights, wield their guns to turn over oppressive authorities for freedom. You'll choose to control a soldier from either side and complete the mission in a variety of game modes, which are full of intensive battles.

Key features

Apart from the multiplayer competitive battles that have appeared in the original CrossFire game, the trailer for this reveal has showcased the single-player campaign mode of CrossfireX. That's the parts that Remedy has shined with their previous title, and they're very likely to continue to do the same with this game.

To be more specific, there were rumors that Remedy involved in the progress of making CrossfireX since 2016, however, not until this year did we knows something about this game. The single-campaign mode, like its tactical multiplayer mode, will take place in the first-person perspective.

Crossfirex Xbox One Announced 1
Do you see this place familiar?

You'll walk through the whole campaign of either the Global Risk or the Black List. Remedy has highlighted that it's not the story of the good and the evil. Instead, it's the unavoidable battle of the two opposing sides that brings the elements of 'grey morality'. It's just about who wins the matches after all!

You can see what's special about CrossfireX's gameplay in the trailer above. Overall, it's just another mode where you're not stuck in a closed battleground, but will travel through places and complete your mission's objectives there.

Crossfirex Xbox One Announced 5
This mode will also take place in the first-person perspective

It's primarily known for its Counter-Strike-like competitive multiplayer mode, pitting teams of players - representing one of two mercenary corporations, either Black List or Global Risk - against each other in a race to complete various objective-based scenarios. The special things about this new game are its gorgeous cinematic graphics powered by Unreal Engine and intense gameplay.

CrossfireX is coming for Xbox One on an unspecified date in 2020. Stay tuned to Gurugamer for the future's update.

Drake Hollow, a base-building fantasy game, is coming to PC and Xbox One in 2020.]]>

Have you watched Alice in Wonderland? In the first part of the movie, Alice saw White Rabbit who was wearing a waistcoat so she curiously followed him to the Rabbit Hole. Eventually, she fell down and went to the strange fantasy world of Underland, a world with magic, talking animals, and danger. That was the first thing popped up in my mind after I saw the new announcement trailer of Drake Hollow which was revealed at X019.

Drake Hollow Announce Trailer 0 21 Screenshot 620e_wm
A curious girl follows an animal to a gate that leads to another world, does that sound familiar?

Here in the trailer, we have a bored girl who sees a strange black crow with a compass on its neck. She then follows it to a magical gate and accidentally gets dragged into a world with talking mandrakes who help her to build a base and fight against hostile creatures made of thorn vine. You can check out the trailer of Drake Hollow for yourself below.

Drake Hollow is an action base-building game in a fantasy world of Drakes from The Molasses Flood. Players can choose to play alone or with up to 3 other friends to explore a procedurally generated world. You will have to gather resources from nature to build your camp and survive first. After that, you need to find Drakes in the wilderness to raise them and save them from dangerous creatures.

Drake Hollow Announce Trailer 0 57 Screenshot 27b7_wm
Build your own village to save native creatures called Drakes

Like any other survival base-building game, managing your resources is always the most important priority. Ask yourself, "What do you need the most at the moment?" "Should you reinforce your defense first or should you spend to make your place thriving first?"

Fight against dangerous creatures

That is all the information we have for now about this game. More details will be revealed later by the developer. Drake Hollow is now under development and will be released for PC and Xbox One next year.

<![CDATA[Apple Now Lets PS4 and Xbox One Controllers Connect To Its Devices]]> https://gurugamer.com/pc-console/apple-now-lets-ps4-and-xbox-one-controllers-connect-to-its-devices-3777 Fri, 05 Jul 2019 03:10:00 +0000 https://gurugamer.com/pc-console/apple-now-lets-ps4-and-xbox-one-controllers-connect-to-its-devices-3777
Apple TV is the first device compatible with the controllers. After that, they will extend their support to iOS 13 and MacOS Catalina.]]>

“We are extending support to the two best and most popular game controllers available”, Apple’s CEO Tim Cook said at WWDC event occurring in early June this year. WWDC, or Worldwide Developers Conference, is a conference held annually by Apple Inc. to showcase its new software and technologies.

According to Apple’s announcement, Apple TV is the first one compatible with the controllers, including Microsoft Xbox One S and Playstation 4. After that, they will extend their support to iOS 13 and MacOS Catalina. In March 2019, Apple started providing gaming services on Apple TV and some other devices, with the introduction of Apple Arcade. It is not clear how much Apple charge for using the service, but Apple Arcade will be officially launched in the fall.

Apple Arcade Games Qq1y

Arcade will be installed in all Apple devices

Apple has not publicly announced details of their plan, such as whether all features of the controllers could be used.

Strategy For Future Growth?

The decision of Apple to add support to gaming controllers comes at the time that service businesses are taking greater contribution to Apple’s revenue. Statistics show that services like App Store, iCloud or Apple Music now accounts for around 30 percent of the company’s profits. Games and Video platforms will be the next focuses, according to the company.

Although iPhone still hold the leading position in global smartphone market, its sale revenue has appeared to go down sharply in recent times. Therefore, investments on monthly-subscription services may be Apple’s new move to ensure future growth for this tech giant.

Two Quick Ways To Jump To The Apple Tv Home Screen

Various Applications on Apple TV

Besides these above services, Apple also drives forward on technologies like augmented reality or streaming. IOS is expected to be the biggest AR (Augmented Reality) platform in the world, providing developers with an app and a high-level framework. Meanwhile, on March 2019, Apple introduced its new streaming service on Apple TV, directly competing with Netflix, Hulu and Amazon.

Microsoft is on the work for a new Microsoft Flight Simulator that will come to Xbox One and PC next year.]]>

Microsoft Flight Simulator or FS is back, baby!! Just a few days ago at the E3 event of Microsoft in Los Angeles, Microsoft had revealed their newest instalment for the long-running FS franchises.  They have teased the game briefly at the keynote of Microsoft’s E3. They have developed this fantastic Flight Simulator game using the power of artificial intelligence from the Azure cloud of Microsoft. There are lots of details about this game beyond only that - and by the way, the 4K video trailer of the game is gorgeous.

Looks amazing

And from the description of the game, it will allow you to control planes from wide-body to light jets.

From the description of the game, it will allow you to control planes from wide-body to light jets.

Microsoft Flight Simulator (or shorthands like FS or  MSFS) is a franchise of programs of flight simulator. However, they have been marketing them as video games for Microsoft Windows. The earlier titles also went to Macintosh and MS-DOS operating systems. They say it is among the best-known, most comprehensive, and longest-running flight simulator for general consumers out there. It belonged to the new product portfolio of Microsoft that has been marking as quite different from other Microsoft's software ( which are mostly business-oriented). With 35 years under its belts, it is the longest-running software of Microsoft's product line, three years older than Windows.  It might also be the longest-running game franchise for PC ever. It also contributes mainly to the usage of aviation-oriented joysticks on PCs for flight simulator nowadays.

The last game before this was the  Microsoft Flight Simulator X launched back in 2014, a continuation from the Flight Simulator X of 2006. The series has been mostly on PC, although that this instalment also comes to Xbox, Microsoft still calls it PC Microsoft Flight Simulator.

<![CDATA[The Official Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare Trailer Is Finally Here]]> https://gurugamer.com/pc-console/the-official-call-of-duty-mordern-warfare-is-finally-here-3661 Fri, 31 May 2019 08:58:00 +0000 https://gurugamer.com/pc-console/the-official-call-of-duty-mordern-warfare-is-finally-here-3661
The new beginning of Call of Duty franchise.]]>

At last, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (yes, just Modern Warfare) trailer is out after all the teasing videos and all COD social media pages go dark. This installment is going to the soft reboot of the 2007 game instead of being a new battle royale game like Call of Duty: Black Ops 4.

Infinity Ward confirmed that this game is taking place in a different world as the old Call of Duty: Modern Warfare trilogy, but it will have some familiar faces like Captain Price. Although, the voice actor for him is different.

As mentioned, the new Call of Duty game will have a single-player campaign as the traditional COD games. The story involves Russian and their actions to the Middle East. The enemies will include an ultranationalist group supporting the terrorist with attacking big cities. There are 2 parts in the campaign. First, you will play as a  Tier 1 officer, a special forces soldier, and after that, you will play as a rebel fighter in the Middle East. The parallel gameplay will give players a more objective view on the story instead of painting a clear picture of what is good or bad.

61868565 620774638328041 5605613344179355648 N
There is no right and wrong in war

The game wants its reputation back as a controversial game that combines the theatrics of actions movie and questions the motive of the war raised by politicians. We have not forgotten disturbing moments in Modern Warfare 2 when players were forced to kill civilians in an airport or when players were put in the situation of nuclear attacks' victims. This game will be the one to gain back the love of players for the greatness of the single-player campaign of COD that the franchise has lost over the years.

Multiplayer mode will be a part of the game too, but no specific details have been revealed by the developers. One thing we know so far is that your progression in the campaign mode will carry over to the other mode. Meaning that you can enjoy playing multiplayer mode and unlocking new killstreaks, perks, and weapons at the same time. Moreover, the game will support cross-play across all platforms, so if you own a PC and your friend own a PS 4, you guys can still play with each other in multiplayer mode. The season pass is also removed so players can experience all the new maps after the game release.

They scanned real objects to create the in-game models

Modern Warfare was developed by a new, purpose-built engine, that gives the game an incredible level of detail. Photogrammetry, a method that is used to scan objects in real life to create a digital version of it, was used a lot in the game, so you will find items, weapons, and buildings in the game look very realistic.

Cod Modern Warfare 2019
The franchise wants its reputation back

According to Minkoff, there will be many dark moments in the game as it's necessary to portrait the complex reality in modern conflict.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare will be releasing on PC, PS 4, and Xbox One on October 25th.

<![CDATA[Wanna Success In Multiplayer Games? Summer Might Be The Answer For You.]]> https://gurugamer.com/pc-console/wanna-success-in-multiplayer-games-summer-might-be-the-answer-for-you-3586 Thu, 30 May 2019 11:27:00 +0000 https://gurugamer.com/pc-console/wanna-success-in-multiplayer-games-summer-might-be-the-answer-for-you-3586
Big titles like Overwatch, Fortnite or Rocket League all got their success by possessing summer. Can Dauntless be the next title? Or Apex Legends will return?]]>

Phoenix Lab has invested a lot of money for the last two years with the hope for releasing Dauntless. Being developed by legendary names such as Blizzard, Dauntless is trying hard to compete with Fortnite or the giant PUBG. Dauntless fully showed up early this week when it pushes to the two most favorite consoles Xbox One and PS4. And supposing that its’ server problems get under control, it can begin to catch up through some signs.

Obviously, summer is the busiest time of the year for game companies, especially for new multiplayer titles to come out, and old multi games to further expand. You can imagine, are there any better ways to spend the long, lazy days of summer than enjoying the world of multi games?

As far as I could recall, my summer games were all around top-notch multiplayer games. Back in 1997, I spent hours on X-wing vs TIE fighter using the poor quality 56k modem. 2002 was the time when I had to work late really often, since I spent the whole day on WarCraft 3.

Recently, it is summer that the most-favored multiplayer games appear. Rocket League was an example. It showed up in July 2015, which is perfectly timed: how amazing the game is, being available at zero price for PS+ subscribers. We all could see that the game appeared in the most peaceful time of producers’ annual release plan. Not just gamers, streamers and journalists as well all craved for something better for their games list, so a new phenomenon appeared.

Dims
Above: Rocket League Racing Scene (beautiful, isn't it?)

One year later, Blizzard brought Overwatch to the community just before Memorial Day. Overwatch is so decent that Blizzard can release its product anytime during the year, yet Blizzard still chose summer. And with no major giants to compete with apart from The Division, Overwatch quickly became a favored title, which later dominated the gaming community for the entire year.

It's easy to recognize that, each summer normally features one to two multi games, which received a huge amount of attention from the community. In 2013, it was Dota 2 (enough, right?); in Summer 2014, it was Hearthstone with its first DLC and the sudden explosion of CCGs; in 2015, Rocket League was on the plate; in 2016, there were Pokemon Go and Fortnite. Battle Royale’s Fortnite was a huge success last year, and in March 2018, Drake popularly took part in Ninja’s stream. Thanks to the success in launching on Nintendo Swith (June), it was largely favored during summer

Soon, following the success of Pokemon Go, Niantic will introduce the all new real-world interacting game Harry Potter Wizards Unite. Of course, Niantic will expect the similar success to what happened 2 years back, when players rushed into Central Park searching for rare Pokémon. Similarly, Apex Legends is also potential to be summer’s favorite, only when it improves significantly for S2. Unlike Epic Games’ Fortnite, the Battle Royale title from Respawn slowed down due to the notorious release of Battle Pass as well as a long period of time between updates (it is still a good game in general though)

Apexlegendsreal4
Above: Aiming down the sight in Apex Legends (familiar enough?)

Back to Dauntless, its success really depends on the game’s capability itself. At the moment, many gamers with curious eyes, who has just got out of schools, are determining whether Dauntless is able to fill in their blanks this summer or not. It is possibly too simple for making a considerable effect. All things considered, battles and simple mechanics ain’t the ingredients for a decent endgame.

Yet, this is prolly the right moment for Phoenix Lab to have a gamble, when Dauntless shows up and compete against giant multiplayer titles. Earlier, Dauntless has to face with gamers’ current school years and spring heavyweight blockbusters. And it would risk being an opponent to Iceborne and Call of Duty if released at the end of the year.

Releasing in summer can’t be 100% success, yet it’s totally worth trying as a lot of gamers are both bored already and hence, hungry for a new meal, so as to help them get over a 3-month-summer vacation. We all have to wait to see whether Dauntless has a similar destiny to former summer-successful titles or not.

Imminent Big Games Release

Below is the list for primary game releases of the week from May 27th to May 31st, as follows:

  • Little Friends: Dogs & Cats [May 28, Switch]: We haven’t seen Nintendo brought us a “Nintendogs” or “Nintencats” game for a while, yet Little Friends can make our boredom of virtual pets insufficiency quite decently. You are in charge of some cats and dogs of your selection in a decent house at the suburbs, where they live together in harmony. You get it just right, cats and dogs live under a same roof. No major over-excitement (you know it). Everything looks calm and nice.

  • Oxygen Not Included [May 28, PC]: Being in early access mode for quite some times, Klei's simulating game about space colonizing is finally ready to come to gamers’ devices (and suck out all the oxygen of their rooms). You are the commander of an Earth’s colony with full of interplanetary settlers, who are having the experience of being space volunteers. You know, where is all the fun without some “dangers” (strange viruses, bad atmosphere, terrible depression, extremely low temperatures, etc.?)

Oxygen Not Included

  • Trover Saves the Universe [May 31, PC]: The father of Rick and Morty, Justin Roiland, is offering an adventure using VR to save the entire universe. To be precise, you will have to save two cute puppies in order to be the savior of the universe, both of which had been taken by a space boss, who is using them as his pair of eyes. Trover Saves the Universe escalates the term “puppy dog eyes” to a whole frightening level.

<![CDATA[Top 10 Game Series Died In This Gaming Generation]]> https://gurugamer.com/pc-console/top-10-game-series-died-in-this-gaming-generation-3594 Thu, 30 May 2019 02:47:00 +0000 https://gurugamer.com/pc-console/top-10-game-series-died-in-this-gaming-generation-3594
The list of top 10 great game series that have been killed in this gaming era.]]>

We are in the era of PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch and Xbox One console. This era has been long, with millions of console units and billions of video game copies sold. But this era is close to the end of itself, with Sony introducing then the next console for the PlayStation console series.

There have been many great game series being born in this era, but we also have to say goodbye to many great game series as well. Down here we have gathered the list of top 10 video game series we have seen dying in this era of PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch and Xbox One console.

Number 10: Mass Effect

Mass Effect Andromeda
Mass Effect Andromeda

The Mass Effect series by Bioware game developer takes our tenth slot in this list. This series was once loved so much by the gaming community, but it was brutally killed by the great failure of Mass Effect Andromeda. Before the game was launched, the facial expression and the animations of this title has already successfully turned off the hype of fans. After the game was released, every single player of the game shared one same question: who had the balls to create this title because Mass Effect Andromeda was a true slap to the whole series. And the situation even got worse when the next game of Bioware – Anthem – got even more criticism than Mass Effect Andromeda.

Number 9: Killzone

Killzone: Shadow Fall
Killzone: Shadow Fall

The ninth spot in our list belongs to Killzone series by Guerrilla Games developer, with Sony as the publisher of the game. To be fair, this series has lived longer than most gamers’ expectation. Killzone: Shadowfall was the last title of this game series, and it was released on the PS4 platform. It was okay, with great graphics feature, but that was it. The game was boring, and the result of this title partly pushed Sony toward the single player games with great plots and players’ experience like The Last of Us, Days Gone and God of War. So that was the end of Killzone game series.

Number 8: Crackdown

Crackdown 3
Crackdown 3

We probably do not have to explain a lot the reason why Crackdown (Sony as the publisher) series takes our eighth spot in our list. This game series had a great place in the gaming community, but then the time of open world games came. Crackdown 2 was good, but the delay of the release of Crackdown 3 killed the series. Released on 15 February 2019 but Crackdown 3 remains it out of date design, and the game does not offer much innovation, in comparison with two previous parts of the game series. Perhaps there is no place for Crackdown anymore.

Number 7: Mafia

Mafia 3
Mafia 3

The seventh spot of our list is for Mafia series by 2K Games. This game series witnessed quite the same problem as Crackdown series: a good second part, but a boring third part. Mafia 2 featured a greatly empty open world as the background for an incredible plot. But Mafia 3’s plot was just okay (not too bad, but just okay), and the open world in Mafia 3 was boring.

Number 6: Deus Ex

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided
Deus Ex: Mankind Divided

Listing Deus Ex in our sixth slot of this list is heartbreaking, but we have to. This game series has been killed by many reasons. First, Square-Enix set ridiculously high sale targets for the fourth part of this series - Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, and of course, the game could not make it. Second, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided suffered a lot of criticism for the micro-transactions, as this game is a single player game. Third, the pre-order of this title had some problems. Last, the team of this game series is currently working on the Avengers Project. Perhaps we will never see this series anymore.

Number 5: Dead Rising

Dead Rising 4
Dead Rising 4

The fifth spot in our list is a quite disappointing name - Dead Rising - if you look at the whole life cycle of this game series. It had two first great parts, but then the third and the fourth part were both exclusive for Xbox One, and they suffer poor sale result because Xbox One has a poor sale result too. And this series could not grow up as well. This zombie-based game series by Capcom began with Frank West killing zombies in a mall, and it finished with Frank West killing zombies in a mall.

Number 4: Infamous

Infamous: Second Son
Infamous: Second Son

In our fourth spot, we have a retired, not dead game series: Infamous by Suck Punch Productions. With the third part of the series - Infamous: Second Son – released in 2014 and the DLC First Light released a short time afterward, this game showed off the power of PlayStation 4 console. We all thought we would not hear about Suck Punch Productions anymore, but then this game developer announced Ghost Of Tsushima project. And perhaps that is it for Infamous series.

Number 3: Dead Space

Dead Space 3
Dead Space 3

You can say that the game series in our third place - Dead Space – has died in the era of Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. I can agree with that, but then I believe the true death of this series was in 2017 when Visceral Games – the developer of Dead Space – was shut down. After the horrible Dead Space 3, EA tried to have Visceral Games made a Star Wars title, and the failure of that title put an end on Visceral Games and Dead Space game series.

Number 2: Metal Gear Solid

Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain
Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain

We had some difficulty with the second and the first slot, but then we decided to put Metal Gear Solid series in this second spot because its story was a little bit less painful than the game series in our number one spot. This game series was kill due to the breakup of Konami and Hideo Kojima. After the release of Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, people discovered that Konami and Hideo Kojima did not have the same vision. Hideo Kojima wanted big games, but Konami only wanted cheap games. This breakup resulted in a painful death for this game series. There have been some more titles for the series Metal Gear Solid, but they just all proved that Hideo Kojima was right.

Number 1: Silent Hill

PT - the gameplay demo of Silent Hills
PT - the gameplay demo of Silent Hills

Yes, the story of the game series in this first spot of our list was really sad and painful, and it was also the results of the breakup we mentioned above. Before Hideo Kojima left Konami, we even had a fantastic demo gameplay - PT - for the title Silent Hills. This is surely one of the best gameplay demos in the history of video games. But then the breakup happened, and we will never ever see Silent Hills again, nor PT.

<![CDATA[Uncharted 4 And Some Great Games Sale Off For Under $10 Dollar]]> https://gurugamer.com/pc-console/uncharted-4-and-some-great-games-sale-off-for-under-10-dollar-3207 Tue, 14 May 2019 09:24:00 +0000 https://gurugamer.com/pc-console/uncharted-4-and-some-great-games-sale-off-for-under-10-dollar-3207
A list of great games for the price of $9,99 dollar (Rs 698.51) or lower, including Limbo, Fallout 4, Titanfall 2, Uncharted 4 ...]]>

Yes, we all know that being a gamer is expensive, just like any other hobbies. Besides the money for your PC, consoles, and mobile, you will have to pay a certain amount of money for your games. Yes, of course, we do have the option of torrent games, but that option is for PC mostly, and not all games can be cracked.

So, if you are a gamer with a tight budget, below is the list of a few games that are currently being sold for less than $10 dollar (less than Rs 700)

BioShock Infinite

Platform: PC

BioShock Infinite
BioShock Infinite

BioShock Infinite is the last part of the BioShock series, and it certainly was among the few last great games on Xbox 360 and PS3 platform. Released in March 2013, BioShock Infinite is still worth to play now because of the game’s enRapturing steampunk setting, the wonderful way of telling story, and its twisted and haunting ending. If you don’t trust our compliments for this first-person shooting game, check out Metacritic. This website gives the latest chapter of the BioShock trilogy a “must-play” title, with a rank of 94 for the PC version of the game.

Right now, you can have a copy of BioShock Infinite from CDKeys store for $4.69 dollar (Rs 327.93).

Undertale

Platform: PC

Undertale
Undertale

This game is very retro-style, thus it may not satisfy players who want games with great graphics features. However, if you do not really care about the graphics, then what Undertale bring you are really unique. Besides the graphics, this game also does not feature a big open-world or a battle royale mode (which we normally see in today video games).

Nevertheless, the experience this game offers is truly charming and unique, even we can describe it as uniquely charming. Words cannot fully demonstrate this RPG game, so why don’t you get yourself a copy of Undertale. $9.99 dollar (Rs 698.51) is the price for this game on Steam at the moment.

Skyrim: Legendary Edition 

Platform: PC

Skyrim Legendary Edition
Skyrim: Legendary Edition

It would be really shameful to call ourselves a PC gamer without a copy of Skyrim in our PC. But sometimes, life is hard for all of us. The good news is that, you can get Legendary Edition of this game (including the base game and all 3 main DLC packs) for the price of $9.39 dollar only (Rs 656.56)

However, this Legendary Edition of Skyrim does not have the built-in graphical upgrades because it was released in 2013. Only the Skyrim: Special Edition (2016) has that. But those upgrades are not as worth as they seem to be. The most interesting thing to do with Skyrim is modding, and those graphical upgrades can never be compared to the today mods. You can start your modding journey with Skyrim right now because mods for this game will be released every month.

Gears of War 4

Platform: Xbox One

Gears Of War 4
Gears of War 4

This Microsoft exclusive game series has witnessed its developer being changed from Epic Games to The Coalition, but we must say that The Coalition has given us a great Gears of War 4. This game was released in 2016, but it is still worth playing now. Grab yourself a copy of that game with the price of $3.89 dollar (Rs 271.99) only to “gear up” yourself for the fifth part of the series on CDKeys store.

Dragon Age: Inquisition

Platform: Xbox One

Dragon Age Inquisition
Dragon Age: Inquisition

$9,99 dollar (Rs 698.51) for the Game of the Year 2014 is definitely a great deal. Dragon Age: Inquisition is the third, and perhaps the best game in the Dragon Age series. This game will take quite a lot of your time, so you should grab a copy on GameStop now.

Uncharted 4

Platform: PS4

Uncharted 4
Uncharted 4

Naughty Dog is the game developer who keeps its words, and it proved with Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End. This game has won many big awards like Winner of The Game Award for Best Narrative, Best Game from BAFTA, and many more.

Nathan Drake, the main character of the game series, was pulled back to business for the one last job of his dramatic adventure. PlayStation had no hesitation to call this as “greatest adventure” of Nathan Drake, the one that put Nathan Drake on the true test of “physical limits, his resolve, and ultimately what he’s willing to sacrifice to save the ones he loves.”

Uncharted 4

GameStop is offering Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End with $9,99 dollar (Rs 698.51) only.

Titanfall 2 

Platform: PS4 and Xbox One

Titanfall 2 
Titanfall 2

By now everyone must have known about Apex Legends. The famous online battle royale has gained many great achievements for its developer Respawn Entertainment. If you like Apex Legends so much, take a look at its older brother: Titanfall 2.

Coming from the same game developer, we can say that Titanfall 2 is the inspiration for Apex Legends. This second part of the first-person shooting game series basically give Apex Legends the mechanics, some weapons, the idea of grappling hook ability. Some even say Titanfall 2 inspires the famous Borderlands 3.
However, this game has never had the fame of Apex Legends. However, the younger brother’s reputation has influenced many people to check out Titanfall 2. If you want to have a great game in your game library, grab a copy of Titanfall 2 at Gamestop for $9,99 dollar (Rs 698.51) only on PS4 and Xbox One console.

Fallout 4 

Platform: PS4 and Xbox One

Fallout 4
Fallout 4

If you are a fan of RPG games, then the game series Fallout is a very familiar name for you. This game series has become so iconic that whenever there is a new part of the series, gamers from all over the world will wait for it, even pre-order it (yeah, Fallout 76 was not as good as its brothers, but we can't call it a bad game). That was what we have seen when Fallout 4 was released in 2015.

If you have not had a copy of Fallout 4, now is your chance. It is being sold on Gamestop for $9,99 dollar (Rs 698.51) only for PS4 and Xbox One console.

Limbo

Platform: Nintendo Switch.

Limbo
Limbo

The first time Limbo got introduced was back in 2010 in the Xbox Live Arcade event. Later, this game got converted into Nintendo Switch, and in this platform, players enjoy Limbo the most.

With only $9,99 dollar (Rs 698.51), your brainy and a little bit horror journey has begun.

Let's have a look through some of the best game releases to arrive on May 2019. Major platforms include PC, PS4, Xbox One & Switch.]]>

As 2019 continues to go by, we're getting more fantastic titles to play across all major platforms. And since we are really close to E3 2019, it’s so exciting to see even more to come. As for now, there are some game releases alongside unique indie experience that would keep you busy while waiting.

Take Rage 2 as a perfect example. A surprise release of Rage 2, an open-world shooter title from Avalanche Studios & ID Software will definitely amaze you. Not to mention games like Total War: Three Kingdoms or Team Sonic Racing. One as a newest entry into the Sonic kart racing legacy, while the other is a highly-anticipated title into the Total War series.

For Switch players, a version of classic Assassin's Creed is coming, alongside the appearance of all Resident Evil games. Without further ado, here’s some of the best game releases this month, May 2019.

Rage 2: May 14 (PC, PS4 & Xbox One)

Rage 2 is the most surprising name to appear among the May releases. The game is in charge by both Id Software as well as Avalanche Studios. Avalanche Studios has many years of experience in crafting chaotic open world, in addition to special effects and vehicle combat as their specialty. At the same time, Id Software made a name for themselves for fantastic work in making first-person shooters.

Team Sonic Racing: May 21 (PC, PS4, Switch & Xbox One)

This is the third sequel in the ultimate series of Sonic kart racing. For this title, the developers focus on its cooperative play aspect. That being said, you need to work as a team and share power-ups to win races.

Total War: Three Kingdoms: May 23 (PC)

From Sega & Creative Assembly, Total War: Three Kingdoms is returning this month. The game will take you back to the past, through quintessential historical conflict that you saw in popular games and films. Total War: Three Kingdoms featuring two game modes, Romance and Classic. The former will base on supernatural character tropes from classic novels. On the other hand, the latter will focus on realistic warfare, which is similar to previous entries of the Total War series.
