GAME-HIVE: Your Ultimate Destination for Gaming News, Reviews, and Tips

Let me begin by saying I'm really looking forward to Marathon and its March 5 launch. I genuinely hope the game is a success, and I think it has a good chance to be. That being said, it's an extraction shooter. This means it's PvPvE and fully multiplayer at all times, similarly to a game like ARC Raiders or Escape From Tarkov . And while I'm aware that this isn't a hot take, I can't shake the feeling that this exhilarating sci-fi world would be better suited to almost any other genre. Image via Bungie As an extraction shooter, Marathon is limited in how it can deliver its worldbuilding and story—via things like quests, in-game items, potential cutscenes, and lore drops like short stories or animations outside of the game. I have faith that Bungie can do this well, especially after the studio improved over time in how it was done in Destiny , but every new, exciting piece of media that comes out about this new game makes me wish it was delivered in any ...

Resident Evil Requiem comes out on Feb. 27, or in just over a week as of this article. Some fans, though, are so excited that they've found ways to play the game earlier. And instead of keeping hush-hush about it, they're sharing it with the world by streaming, recording, and uploading clips from the game. To put it bluntly: spoilers are everywhere. Just logging into X and Reddit the other day, I found a person running a full-blown stream of RE9 , allegedly switching accounts every day to avoid Sony's righteous banhammer. It unfortunately showed me some scenes I would have liked to experience for myself in the comfort of my own PC and horror-primed OLED screen. But alas, I got spoiled, which doesn't mean you should be, too. I want to see Grace get terrified and be scared alongside her, but let's wait for the full release, shall we? Image via Capcom My advice to you would be to completely ignore any and all Resident Evil -related channels. Whether that's ...

Deadpool is one of Marvel's most iconic characters and certainly my favorite. He is a satire of the entire comic book industry, as well as a means for criticizing the entire world around us directly, but without ever leaving the comic framework. And it seems everyone out there loves him, too. No matter where he appears or in what format, Deadpool attracts a lot of people , begging the question: Why haven't we had a single standalone Deadpool game in 13 years? In 2024, Deadpool and Wolverine smashed the box office. Grossing over $1.33 billion worldwide, it quickly became one of the biggest movies of all time. It was as if anyone and everyone went to see the film, yearning to indulge in the unfiltered, R-rated action of Marvel's most cynical antihero. I guess it helped that he had Jackman's Wolverine coming back after we all thought he was done with playing the character post- Logan , but I'd still argue it had a lot to do with the nature of Deadpool himself. H...

With the amount of secret puzzles and hidden treasures that can be found in Under the Island , it’s best not to leave any stone unturned, and that includes the tombstones in the Windy Hills graveyard. This graveyard isn’t exactly what it seems at first glance. It’s easy to run by all of its tombstones and think nothing of them. But if you’ve found the treasure map in the Shelly Beach cave, you’ll know this particular resting place is hiding something. Here’s how to solve the Shelly Beach treasure map and Windy Hills graveyard puzzle in Under the Island . Windy Hills graveyard puzzle location The map in Shelly Beach shows you the tombstones in Windy Hills. Screenshot by Destructoid When I first saw the map from the Shelly Beach cave, I thought the numbers next to the tombstones indicated the order in which you must move them. But given how many 1s are on there, that theory quickly fell flat. Instead, I realized those numbers actually give the number of spaces you have to move e...
