The lore of this universe is rife with interesting possibilities, the Black Abyss within the Burning Hells, the Void, unknown pocket dimensions where powerful beings either hide or are imprisoned in, other worlds where the war between heaven and hell are raging and places that have already succumbed to demons. There are countless possibilities and Diablo 4 could take players to places other than Tristram, the top layer of hell, or another des

Hearthstone has three expansions a year, and what appears to be the same number of solo adventures following about a month after each release. Each brings 135 new cards that must be acquired to remain competitive, and a way to be involved as a free-to-play user. Unless, of course, you want the premium class skins. In that case, one needs to purchase the $79.99 USD pre-order.


Players could find any turkey in Assassin’s Creed 3 and feed it a treat. Whilst doing so, players could enter the classic Konami code of Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A in order to give the turkey an Assassin’s hood, creating a rather adorable and funny Assassin Turkey for the Brotherh


This can even be seen in other games that try to emulate the Diablo 4 Events formula. Shadows: Awakening mixes things up a little with the ability to shift between characters and realms with a touch of a button, and although this isn't something that Diablo 4 should directly have, it shows that with a little ingenuity the repetitive clicking can have new life breathed into

Finally, Blizzard could also release new classes at halfway points between each expansion. They could start with a basic set of five classes, much like the release of Diablo 3 , and then add our old favorites again, including the Necromancer, Druid, Paladin/Crusader, Amazon, and whatever other fan-favorite classes would ensure another purchase. Unlike expansions, these would not be mandatory, but few would pass up a new class in their favorite game!


Players can upgrade their armor and weapons while working together to get through the game’s 10 missions. A score is given at the end of each mission and going back to play the game on harder difficulties for trophies is fun and incredibly stressful. Difficult games seem to be best enjoyed cooperatively and Dead Nation is no differ


PlayStation consoles are known more for their gripping single-player exclusives like The Last of Us , God of War , and inFamous as opposed to Xbox’s multiplayer focused exclusives like Gears of War , Halo , and Forza Horizon . But even then, there are still a bunch of games that players on Sony’s platform can enjoy co-operatively. Here are the 15 co-op games on PlayStation 4 you need to be play


Similar to Rocket League , Overwatch is a game you can play with your friends in short bursts or in long hauls while trying to rank up. Have ten minutes to waste while you’re waiting for your favorite show to start? Why not jump into a social game and try out a new hero you’ve never used before. Looking for something more hardcore? Pick your best hero, put on a headset, and take a seat as you play match after match with friends trying to rank up while you call out enemy locati

Time will tell how much longer Blizzard can keep this up, since the gaming market is saturated with quality titles ranging from Indie developers to AAA games. As time goes in, it is difficult to justify such ongoing costs when the delivered product too closely resembles old content.


From here, players will explode a small area filled with Hell Bovines, which, despite their namesake, are just bipedal cows with axes. It’s a hilarious easter egg, and the fact that players have to fight for their lives against cows and a Cow King just shows why people enjoy these R


Something that will be requested for Diablo 4 is cross play, should the title launch at the same time for consoles and PC. Allowing players to team up across different devices has been one of the key improvements that gaming has seen in recent years, no longer forcing groups of friends to have to own the same system to still play together. If Nintendo and Microsoft can work out Minecraft cross play , then surely Blizzard can do simi


Full visual customization of the characters would be great. Not only would it allow players to really make their playable character their own, but it could also add to more variety in the multiplayer scene, with different takes on each character making multiplayer team-ups feel uni


If this generation of consoles has taught us one thing, it’s that the advent of online gaming has not curtailed the demand for split-screen functionality. With historically supported split-screen games like Halo abandoning the feature – with the series’ most recent release of Halo 5: Guardians – in favor of power and performance, gamers are still able to enjoy a slew of titles with friends and strangers on consoles, albeit over an online infrastructure like Xbox Live or PlayStation Network and not on the same co
