Monster Hunter Now adds some more social to its social aspects with Discord collaboration
Since it has already been half a year since Monster Hunter Now launched for mobile, seriously what even is time anymore I'm sure it only came out last week, Niantic is teaming up with premier social app Discord to offer players quite a special gift. Until April 18th, Monster Hunter Now players will be able to claim one free month of Discord Nitro to make hunting with friends that much easier. There is one stipulation though, and that is you can’t have been a Nitro member for at least a year. Besides that, just check the in-game news and get yourself set up. Discord Nitro is packed full of handy little features, although at this point let's say it functions perfectly fine without a su…

Learn about the environment and pick up some nice gear as Genshin Impact teams up with the Discovery Channel
Thanks to being one of the biggest entertainment industries in the world, gaming can be an incredible force for good, and the latest example of this is Genshin Impact teaming up with the Discovery Channel to present the Teyvat Nature Discovery Tour, in an attempt to raise awareness of the vital yet sadly fragile natural habitats of earth. Learning can be boring, let's be honest, so the Voices of Nature documentary takes a more playful approach, with a selection of environments themselves telling you their roles in nature and why they need protecting. There are also so startling facts thrown in, such as the real possibility that by 2050, plastic will outweigh all the fish in the ocean. If…
Take aim at the world's most deadly of nuts in Acorn Cop
If you are a squirrel then cover your eyes because this is going to hurt, but Mini Fun Games has announced the release of Acorn Cop, a game where you destroy acorns with a gun. It’s one of those quick casual experiences you can whip out whenever you have a few minutes. Rather, unfortunately, the premise of Acorn Cop is based on a real-world story, when a policeman in Florida mistook the sound of acorns falling to the ground as gunshots, and then unloaded their weapon at a suspect who was already cuffed in the back of a cop car. It's the type of story that makes you groan, but at least we got a game from it. The aim is simple; shoot the acorns when they pop into the screen, but make s…
Harnas the ancient power of the dragon in Black Desert Mobile
If you asked someone what their favourite mythological animal or being is, there would be a plethora of answers, and let's face it they would all be right there are some cool ones out there. But dragons would have to be near the top, and now you can harness the power of these magnificent beasts once more thanks to Black Desert Mobile's new Awakening Class. To be fair, Black Desert Mobile already has a pretty cool dragon-based class with Drakania, but this gets kicked up to 11 when you unlock this new Awakening class, Letanas. Armed with a host of new dragon abilities, as well as a nifty pair of wings, she can devastate the battlefield from the safety of the skies. As always, the new Letana…

Albion Online unveils plans for its third server tailored for Europe and MENA regions
I spend a large part of my life playing MMORPGs and have tried the vast majority of them. Albion Online is definitely quite a fun one, so it always makes me quite pleased to see it grow, such as the recent announcement of the launch of yet another new server, coming April 29th. Recently, Sandbox Interactive opened up Albion East, a decided server for the Asia-Pacific region. Now we are being welcomed to another server, and third overall, for the Europe and MENA region, fittingly titled Albion Europe.

Niantic unveils what players can expect from the first season of Monster Hunter Now
It’s been a while, but Niantic has spilt the beans on what we can expect from Monster Hunter Now’s first season. The Vernal Invader will kick off March 14th and will bring with it a new weapon type, a much-requested expanded Loadout selection, some massive new enemies, and much more.

In Sword Mode, you will be manoeuvrable and each attack will store some energy. When you have enough, switch into Axe Mode to deal massive damage. To help you practise with this new weapon, the number of Loadouts has increased from five to te…
Spice up bowling by throwing objects at your opponents and stealing their point in Extreme Crazy Bowling
Suppose you are a bowling fan but think that the normal rules and regulations get in the way. In that case, you are in luck, as Yu-Rin-Chi Games have recently released Extreme Crazy Bowling, a game that does away with that pesky sportsmanlike conduct, and rewards you for chucking pins at people and scoring from the other lanes. Each lane will be beset by walls on each side, as per usual, however this time you have the ability to break these down, and you will want to. This is because whilst you can score from your own pins, knocking down those of your opponents will get you double points. You will need to balance grabbing these extra points with the risk of a few edge balls losing you point…
Tennis Clash rolls out its next tournament with a 5,000.00 EUR prize pool

If you are sitting at…

Vampire Survivors drops newest free update as well as a truly unexpected surprise gift
Poncle has announced a big new update for their hit title Vampire Survivors, called Space54. This should be the headline for this article, however, this team of weird individuals has dropped a surprise gift for fans in honour of the launch of the next step in one of gaming's biggest sagas. I don’t think anyone was expecting this masterpiece, but in honour of the launch of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, a game with exactly one pseudo-vampire, Poncle has released an excellent take on the original 1997 trailer for Final Fantasy VII. The elements have been swapped for Vampire Survivors-related ones, but it maintains all the plot points from the trailer. I especially love the Sephiroth stand-i…
