Rap News, Tips, Tricks & Ideas

Baldur's Gate 3's third act gets a bad rap. At launch (and after a patch in November), it was a bit buggy, so that's fair, but now that the kinks have been ironed out, a lot of people are still put off by its tone, pacing, and structure. The in-depth city where any building could house secrets or quests is a far cry from the rough wilds of the first two acts, changing up how we explore and navigate this world, and Larian Studios is keenly aware of the controversy it brought about.

After Fortnite unleashed a flood of crossovers into the gaming world, there’s almost nothing that’s off the table anymore. Call of Duty getting a Nicki Minaj operator, for example, would likely never have happened 10 years ago, and yet here we are. The rapper/singer is often called the Queen of Rap, but she’s expanded her talents to dolphin-diving and no-scoping noobs on the battlefield. If you want to strut your stuff as Minaj in your next match, complete with her own set of pink weapons and vehicle skin, there are a few bits of information you need to know before loading up your next game.

Folks, we thought this day may never come, but it's here. The official Helldivers 2 freestyle rap, which was tragically cut from the full version of the game, has surfaced online thanks to a behind-the-scenes video from Goodbye Kansas Studios – the team behind the shooter's iconic opening cinematic.

Helldivers 2's opening cinematic is iconic, and does an incredible job of setting up the third-person shooter's humorous satirical tone. In under two minutes, the in-universe recruitment ad tells you everything you need to know about the fight for sweet liberty and the camaraderie of Super Earth citizens, complete with dramatics that are so bad they're good. 

Adam Sandler playing an astronaut on a solo mission to the edge of the solar system in the sci-fi drama “Spaceman,” and Disney 's animated coming-of-age story “Iwájú” set in the future in Lagos, Nigeria, are some of the new television, movies, music and games headed to a device near you.

Fortnite's Big Bang event has confirmed the long-standing rumours of crossovers with Lego and Rocket League, as well as having a musical segment that looked a lot like a more basic version of Guitar Hero.

Once upon a time, live events were one of the most anticipated experiences in Fortnite. However, Epic Games hasn’t hosted an in-game event since December, 2022. Now, a year later, Fortnite players will get to take part in a live event, once again.

Another week, another major crossover for Fortnite. The battle royale bonanza has continued to add figures from the world of pop culture, with the latest rumours suggesting a LEGO collaboration is next in the works.

Fortnite fans have noticed that Eminem's infamously fast rapping abilities are seemingly too much for some of the game's audio-reactive skins to handle, as it appears to be breaking them.

Every few seasons, Fortnite runs a live event that bridges the gap between the end of the current offering, and the next season . Players load into a dedicated experience, in squads of up to four, and take part in shared objectives, large-scale spectacles, and sometimes musical experiences. In the past, we've controlled giant mechas, flown around a black hole, and platformed as the map collapsed around us. Downtime follows the end of live events, so make sure to jump in before it's gone.

Although Fortnite OG has been incredibly fun to experience these past few weeks, there’s even more exciting events on the horizon. A new Fortnite concert is on its way, this time with Eminem as the star, but when is it?

All Elite Wrestling is having yet another big week in its promotions life, including some welcome news on the video game front via AEW Fight Forever. By that, we speak of how Season 2 of the game’s DLC has arrived, and with its arrival comes the debut of The Acclaimed! Max Caster and Anthony Bowens are ready to make the “mic drop” and rap their way to victory over all the other AEW competitors, and so if you’ve been waiting for your chance to “scissor your way to victory,” this is your chance. Yes, we’re hyping them up quite a bit, but this is a very special team in AEW’s history.

One of the first ways Fortnite was able to prove its mainstream success was by introducing popular real-world people into the game. Whether it's Travis Scott, Lebron James, or Patrick Mahomes, it's become a sort of Hollywood Star of Fame to be featured in Epic Games' hit shooter. Today. Marshall Mathers joins the club – Eminem is coming to Fortnite. 

Two objective facts: James Cameron blows deadlines and James Cameron delivers. While his rap sheet is filled with over-budget near-disasters (Titanic) and long delayed pipedreams (Avatarand its sequel The Way of Water), few are left complaining when Cameron actually turns in his work. And today those same cranky admirers have another reason to get pumped: after years of promises that his films The Abyss and True Lies would receive proper Blu-ray home video releases, Cameron has finally wrapped his post-production journey. The films will hit 4K UHD this December, with physical discs arriving in March 2024.

Headbangers: Rhythm Royale is flying from the roost later this month, and it's so dumb and stupid I kind of love it. To boil down the concept: imagine Fall Guys, but with rhythm-based minigames in the style of Warioware. You can play a demo of it right now as part of Steam's Next Fest until October 16.

Ghostwire Tokyo gets a bad rap. This supernatural thriller is a bizarre magical FPS filled with all manner of weird and wonderful creatures, tasking you with uncovering the truth behind a vanished city. It might not be the traditional survival horror we expected from Resident Evil creator Shinji Mikami’s Tango Gameworks, especially following The Evil Within games, but you shouldn’t pass up the opportunity to try Ghostwire Tokyo for free.

Final Fantasy VII: Ever Crisis will reach a much wider audience than it has now, as the game is coming to Steam in the future, with full cross-save support for the existing mobile versions. There’s a bigger audience on PC because that’s where the established Final Fantasy audience is, along with consoles, and not on mobile phones.

From the city street shootouts of Heat to the creepy clown masks found in The Dark Knight’s opening moments, there’s something alarmingly alluring about the Hollywood bank heist fantasy. Fortunately, the excellent Payday series has been letting me live it out for more than a decade without needing to establish a rap sheet of my own. The next chapter in this long-running burglary simulator, Payday 3, recently concluded its open beta before we all get to filch the final version later this month – and though this early look was only a limited snapshot of what’s to come, it already feels like a significant step up from the lawbreaking of Payday 2. After twelve hours of smashing and grabbing, I’ve got a whole lot more left to see in the full game, but so far I’m very excited to come out of retirement and continue my life of crime.

Criminal gangs behind a surge of bombings and shootings in Sweden in recent years are using fake Spotify streams to launder money, a Swedish newspaper reported Tuesday.

What do you get if you combine someone unwilling to throw away their shot, and a video game unwilling to pass up the chance to add yet another pop-culture staple to its collection? A lite RPG based on historical rap-musical Hamilton you can play via Roblox, that’s what.

A new way to experience Hamilton is coming to Roblox.
