Allegra Clark is a voice actress who has appeared in numerous games over the years, most recently as Spider-Gwen in Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order. She, along with an audio modulator, gave life to Bloodhound's distinct shroud of a vo
Why was Apex legends guide Legends able to rest on its laurels this week while Respawn works on future content? The simplest answer can actually be found in what was likely perceived by EA to be its greatest weakness: it's near-total lack of pre-release marketing. Leaked only a day prior to launch, Apex Legends set the internet abuzz with the immediate promise of an all-new and well-polished experience that players could get their hands on for the tantalizing price of "free." Meanwhile, Crackdown 3 has suffered from a grueling, years-long embarrassment for Xbox Games Studios that began when it was revealed all the way back at E3 2014, greatly reducing the impact of the exclusive's largely overlooked February 15 release d
If you were to design your dream character for a sort of Hunger Games event, Bloodhound would check most if not all of the boxes on your wishlist. Most people dislike dynasties, so it's likely Bloodhound is losing fans, but gaining bandwagon follow

When you hear this distinct sound, you know that someone's shield has been depleted. Once an enemy's shield is gone, they're extremely vulnerable. So listen hard for this sound, because when you hear it, it's time to strike. Coordinate with your team and let them know when you hear someone's shield shatter, and you'll really succeed. It's just one of many sounds to listen
The voice of Bloodhound was a mystery for a long time and went hand in hand with the Apex Legends community trying to figure out their gender. This was all before Respawn Entertainment officially announced that Bloodhound was non-binary, which only added to the mystery box that was their charac
Metro Exodus is a diamond in the rough here in terms of its gameplay and story, with the other releases this week falling agonizingly flat in one area or the other. While Apex Legends is being universally lauded for its impressive blend of frenzy and strategy, as well as for its revolutionary ping system that makes teamplay easier and more integral than in any shooter before it, February has brought little else in the way of gameplay innovation. Crackdown 3 is a fairly mindless power fantasy sandbox, which is great for players seeking that experience, but disappointing to others due to how few additions it brings to the table when compared with the 12-year-old initial entry into the ser
You can also take a zip-line and choose to jump off— even if you're at a huge height. Generally speaking, running and jumping are huge factors in this game, so it makes sense that the game places almost no limits on your gameplay in this regard. It's a fun addition to the game - as long as you're actually aware of

When you find an enemy standing right in front of you, the best tactic is often melee. There are two types of melee in this game, kicking and punching. They both work in slightly different ways, and there's some strategy as to which one you cho

Every legend in the Apex Games has a type that puts them in a certain classification. These types give players a quick understanding of the type of play-style that best fits each specific legend. Bloodhound is a tracker which means they're best suited for aggressive players who like to chase down other teams or play
Well, it turns out she uses her winnings to fund the Frontier Corps, in hopes of allowing the organization to spread even further and allow it to help even more Frontier communities. It makes sense that Lifeline is putting herself on the line in hopes of helping those who can't help themsel
Bloodhound is surrounded by mystery and for awhile players were unsure what their gender was. The easiest assumption was male has the outline of Bloodline seemed more masculine and their voice isn't necessarily high-pitched. It turns out in another move towards inclusivity and diversity Bloodhound is non-bin
Apex Legends is the new battle royale game that everyone's been talking about. It didn't take long for people to realize that this free to play multiplayer shooter was a seriously awesome experience, and more people are checking it out with each passing day. It might be too early yet, but many people think that this game has the potential to become the next Fortnite , and rob this game of its crown in the Battle Royale genre. There's a lot of things that this game does slightly differently. First of all, it's class-based, and it also revolves around team play more than anything. It has a slightly futuristic, science fiction vibe to it, and the art style is actually really c
