Mass Effect: Legendary Edition looks to have corrected what fans have long speculated to be a mistake in the original Mass Effect revolving around the NPC Elanos Haliat.Minor spoilers for Mass Effect below.Whereas Haliat was once a human in the original game, he is now a Turian in Mass Effect: Legendary Edition, which makes way more sense. For context, Haliat is a pirate and former leader of the Terminus systems. Most importantly, he's the character who organized the invasion of the human colony of Elysium prior to the events of the game. This attack is referenced frequently in conversation as "The Blitz" if players select the "War Hero" psychological profile for their Commander Shepard. He can be encountered while investigating a nuclear probe on the planet Agebinium.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

That includes Johnny's adopted dad Dracula, who is horrified to lose his fangs and become mortal. It looks every bit as funny as the previous movies--check the trailer out below:Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Spider-Man fans may want to get their wallets ready for next Lego Marvel set. Lego has unveiled a truly massive kit revolving around the Daily Bugle, the newspaper where Peter Parker works. Perhaps with Spider-Man brawling with villains so close to the building, J. Jonah Jameson can snap a photo of Spider-Man himself instead of yelling at Peter all the time. The set will be available to purchase for $300 starting May 26 for Lego VIP members (creating an account is free) ahead of its June 1 release. Lego Daily Bugle Lego Daily Bugle is a 3,772-piece modular set, which means that you can rearrange the three floors and create different scenes in and around the Daily Bugle skyscraper. While most Lego sets--even the big ones--tend to come with only a few minifigures, the Daily Bugle boasts 25 figures, including Spider-Man (of course), Green Goblin, Daredevil, Venom, Doctor Octopus, Blade, and Spider-Gwen. See at Lego Store Although the brick count is impressive, the space this set takes up is even more jaw-dropping. When fully built, the Daily Bugle is 32 inches tall. This could present a problem for display cases or shelves, but it will definitely make for a fun toy for kids. That said, as it's one of Lego's more elaborate builds, it is recommended for those 18 and up. We imagine kids who regularly build Lego sets wouldn't have a problem putting this together, though.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

The ongoing Epic v Apple trial has been delving into minutiae and parsing fine legal details, but one major industry player could have a big impact: Roblox. The game has morphed into a platform that hosts lots of different user-created applications, but whether those count as "games" or "experiences" could make a huge impact on the case.Ars Technica reports that Apple senior director of marketing Trystan Kosmynka argued that Roblox's many applications do not qualify as games, because at least some of them don't have challenges to overcome, or a particular end-point.This is somewhat at odds with a 2017 email presented at the trial, in which Kosmynka said he was "surprised [Roblox] was approved" and inquired if it fits within Apple's company guidelines. Roblox had been rejected in 2014 due to "streaming games which we don't like, since these games don't come into review." But then in 2015, it was approved by the executive review board, which carries the final say.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

On May 18, Dungeons & Dragons latest source book, Van Richten's Guide to Ravenloft, expands on horror elements, stepping away from the typical gothic horror players are used to. And because of this, D&D players are getting new monsters that are a little outside the box, like a Brain in a Jar.Van Richten's Guide to Ravenloft campaign sourcebook includes a few monsters at the end of the book, including creatures similar to ones from classic sci-fi. Brain in a Jar is one part Steve Martin's classic The Man with Two Brains and one part the sci-fi classic Fiend Without a Face. It's a brain in a jar, and it wants to kill you.This fiendish brain can hover, talk to you psionically, and be generally gross--it's a brain in a jar, come on. But don't take the "monster" too lightly, as while it may be immobile, it can cast a few spells to take down players. It's also resistant to magic as well, so the best way to take it down is to run at it and bash it.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Cheating is definitely not new to Call of Duty: Warzone, but a resurgence of cheaters are plaguing Season 3's new Verdansk '84 map. Players are still using weak points in the map design, allowing themselves to get inside the walls of buildings or underneath the map for cheating that's nearly impossible to counter. You usually don't even realize they're inside the map until you're already dead and viewing the killcam.Warzone's update on April 28 addressed some of the map exploits for Verdansk '84, but Raven Software acknowledged that more weak points needed to be patched. This is also evident by all the frustrated players still sharing clips of being undermined by cheaters under the map at various points of interest. It's unclear how long this will take, but be wary of landing at places with lots of exploits such as Verdansk's airport, stadium, and train station.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com
