HHW Gaming: Competive ‘Call of Duty’ Player Hilariously Exposes Himself As A Cheater
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Jon Kopaloff / Getty This one competitive gamer went out of his way to prove he’s not a cheater and, in the process, exposed himself to be a cheater. Yup, you read that correctly. Kenji, who made his fame competitively playing Call of Duty, exposed himself to be a cheater after he was accused of using a particular cheat while playing by his opponents. Some believed the semi-pro Esports player was using a “wallhack” while competing in the Call of Duty: Vanguard tournament Checkmate Gaming and a recent 2v2 match. The cheat allows players to see opponents through walls giving them an unfair advantage during competitive online play. Related Stories To dispute those claims, Kenji decided to set up an additional offscreen camera to record him playing but hilari...
HHW Gaming: A ‘Marvel’s Avengers’ Bug Is Making Life Miserable For PS5 Owners
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Crystal Dynamics/ Marvel’s Avengers After its not-so-stellar launch in 2020, Crystal Dynamics Marvel’s Avengers was supposed to find its second wind with its post-game content. Sadly that hasn’t been the case. Marvel’s Avengers has seen some decent post-launch content and solid expansions that introduced new characters with the addition of Hawkeye, Kate Bishop, Black Panther, and, recently, Spider-Man. Unfortunately, the game is still a mess, and now a new game-breaking bug is making life miserable for the few who still play the game on PS5 consoles. Related Stories The bug causes Marvel’s Avengers to crash every time players load up the game, and the only way to get around it is by deleting their game progress. The development team behind the game is wel...

Ghostwire: Tokyo Is an Immersive Visit to Japan of the Paranormal Variety
In the crowded landscape of video games known as Spring 2022, Ghostwire: Tokyo serves as the only paranormal vacation to Japan. Of course, since it’s made by the Japanese horror masterminds at Tango Gameworks, digital travelers better be ready for some visits from spirits, demons, and various other creepy crawlies (often based on Japanese folklore) on their trip. After all, the version of Tokyo presented in Ghostwire: Tokyo is nearly devoid of regular human life — instead filled with “Visitors” who aren’t always the friendliest of guests. With a unique take on modern Tokyo and a variety of ghastly enemies to take down, the first-person action-adventure title veers pretty far from Tango’s previous Bethesda-published entries in The Evil Within series — and simultaneously separates itself fro...

HHW Gaming: Sony Announces “All-New PlayStation Plus Subscription Service,” Heres What You Get
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: PlayStation / All-New PlayStation Plus PlayStation’s answer to Xbox Game Pass was the company’s worst-kept secret, but now we know finally know when to expect from it when it launches this year. Originally called “Spartacus,” Sony pulled the lid off the All-New PlayStation Plus via the PlayStation Blog. As many have reported, the new subscription service will see PS Now and PS Plus merge into a three-tier system to form the “Xbox Game Pass competitor.” The new service will feature up to 700 games plus access to retro games, but there is a catch, you must be subscribed to the top tier.

HHW Gaming Exclusive: ‘Halo The Series’ Showrunner & Executive Producer Speak About Making Better Video Game Movies & TV Shows
Video Games developed into films, and now television shows should be a homerun for studios because they are rich with source material to work with, but as we all know for a long time, that hasn’t been the case for many years. Thanks to shows like Halo The Series and other successful movies based on video games, that trend seems to be coming to an end. Halo The Series is just one day away from premiering on Paramount+, but the show is already polarizing, dividing franchise fans. The show, which is nine years in the making, follows Pablo Schreiber’s Master Chief and the Silver Team on a new timeline, moving away from the messy one we have experienced in the insanely-popular Halo video games. The idea the game is not sticking with the storyline, Schreiber’s version of the John 117 taken off h...
Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands Brings a Magical New Entry to the Borderlands Universe
While Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands may not be exactly like the Borderlands games that Gearbox Software fans have come to know and love over the last 13 years, the latest title in the franchise fuses aspects of what Borderlands fans appreciate most — like the humor, the characters and the sweet, sweet loot — into a genre the games haven’t yet explored: high fantasy. Taking place as a tabletop RPG narrated by the frenzied mind of everyone’s favorite explosives-loving 13-year-old girl, Tiny Tina, Wonderlands brings magic, knights, and the whole fantasy shabang to Borderlands’ signature gameplay and style. The game expands upon the fan-favorite Tiny Tina’s Assault on Dragon Keep DLC from Borderlands 2 (which was later turned into a standalone title in preparation for Wonderlands), and is every bit ...
