Fans Aren't Happy with First Tiny Tina's Wonderlands DLC
On April 21, 2022 the first DLC drop for Tiny Tina's Wonderlands was released. It came alongside the rather substantial Update 1.0.2.0A that included a number of fixes, adjustments, weapon tweaks, and class balancing.
The downloadable content, named Coiled Captors, seems to be a little light on content. It does add in a new and replayable dungeon challenge along with a new boss encounter. Completion of this challenge adds in a handful of new arena designs for Tiny Tina's endgame Chaos...
Gaming trends have changed over the years as once popular huge scale games have fallen behind in favor of smaller, more casual, and easier to approach games have taken over particularly those designed for mobile – features have changed at the same time, and now games like online casinos thrive where larger scale games once stood on top. That isn’t to say the larger market doesn’t still exist though, and the MMORPG genre is starting to thrive once more with growing player numbers,...
Though the bulk of the big video game releases in 2022 have already passed by, or will come to pass later this year, that doesn't mean there is a major shortage of games coming out during these "slow" months. In fact, May 2022 has several big games slated to be released across most every platform currently available on the market.
Hopefully there will be a little something here that strikes your fancy. If, by some stretch, none of these games entice you, then perhaps you may...
In a time long ago, Konami used to make some rather amazing video games. The Japan-based studio was founded back in 1969 as a jukebox rental and repair business. The company slowly entered into the creation and distribution of video games in the late 70s. A lot of Konami's earliest releases were done through arcades, but once home gaming consoles started to arrive, they made the jump in force.
Konami started out with a bang on systems such as the MSX, PC, NES, and more. They...

Last year, Gearbox revealed that full cross-play functionality for Borderlands 3 was ready to go. However, the studio had to pull the feature from PlayStation consoles because Sony, at the time, was very much against cross-play with other platforms.

For this, you can take whatever definition you want as a game "completion." Beat the main story? Earned 100% of the game's achievements? Or simply played enough that you're satisfied with what you accomplished and have no plans to return any time...
