Respawn Entertainment and EA announced and released free-to-play FPS battle-royale Apex Legends on PC, PS4, and Xbox One as a surprise on Monday. To their credit, and to EA’s relief (at least temporarily), the game has been a massive hit in its first few days. Over 10 million people have played the game, it surpassed…
The new year is quickly approaching, and 2019 is looking like it’s going to be a very good year in gaming. Throughout the rest of 2018, we’re going to be talking about some of the games that are scheduled for release at some point in 2019 that we here at Vortainment are eagerly anticipating. It…
Occasionally here on the site I do a little post titled “Patriot’s Playing” where I talk about the game or games that I’ll be playing in the current week. It’s not a weekly thing, usually just when I’m switching things around and playing something different or going back to an older favorite. I’ll still be…
Defiance 2050 is the remastering/continuation of 2013’s Defiance. The original released on PS3, Xbox 360, and PC and is still available to play. Though it began as a pay-to-play game, Defiance transitioned to free-to-play in 2014. Defiance 2050 is likewise a completely free-to-play third person looter shooter MMO from Trion World’s, available now on PS4,…
Wow. What a night, eh? Let’s preface this “review” by stating that I had very little interest in and hope for this pay-per-view event. With that said, even I’m shocked at just how bad Extreme Rules 2018 turned out. This was, without a doubt, the worst pay-per-view event I’ve seen in quite some time. Even…
It’s current day in current year, that means there’s an SJW crying somewhere. This time it’s Nathan Grayson writing for Kotaku’s Steamed. The title of his article on Kingdom Come Deliverance is pretty telling when coupled with the first paragraph: Kingdom Come Owes Its Popularity To ‘Realism’ And Conservative Politics Kingdom Come: Deliverance has sold…
Yesterday, Destiny 2 received update 1.1.3 which was headlined by the new Nightfall Strike Scoring system. The hard time limit is now gone from the Nightfall, and with it any modifiers are gone from the normal or prestige mode nightfall. To enable modifiers, in prestige mode only, you’ll need a Nightfall Challenge Card which drops…
This has been a feature idea I’ve been kicking around for a while, and the only constant with it has been the subject for the first one. Audrey Hepburn had a film career that spanned five decades and consisted of 27 films. She was not only extremely talented and beautifully, but far more importantly she…
With their PlayStation consoles, Sony has built up a large fanbase for being the platform that not only gets all the big third-party multiplatform games, but also has the largest collection of first party studios pumping out exclusive games. One of the most prolific of these studios is Sucker Punch Productions, who has been making…
Another day, another SJW complaining about something and screaming racism. This time around it’s Lucia Taylor of “New Normative,” a so-called “progressing gaming” site. I’m not going to link to the article directly, but you can find it from here. It’s the kind of piece we can do a breakdown of though, kinda like the…
It’s been just about three years since Borderlands: The Handsome Collection released, bringing Borderlands 2 and The Pre-Sequel to PS4 and Xbox One. It’s been five and a half years since Borderlands 2 originally released. Suffice to say, it has been a long wait. Luckily the wait for the next Borderlands game is growing shorter…
The first person shooter genre has become one of the most popular in gaming. While the genre was predominantly a PC and Mac genre in the early and mid 90s, the 1997 release of GoldenEye 007 on Nintendo 64 paved the way for a to move into home consoles. In 2001, Microsoft released a new…
