HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Xiaomi / Black Shark 4 and Black Shark 4 Pro For those who do spend a dedicated amount of time playing games on their smartphones, Xiaomi’s newest mobile devices might be right up your alley. This may come as a surprise to many, but yes, there are smartphones designed strictly for gaming. Just in March alone, we have seen the release of the Asus ROG Phone 5 and Nubia Red Magic 6. Xiaomi is now getting in on the fun with the Black Shark 4 and 4 Pro model launch.

Monster Hunter Rise Aims to Make Monster Hunter More Accessible Than Ever Before
For the first 15 years of its existence, Monster Hunter was a pretty niche video game series that had really only seen modest success outside of Japan. Its combat and variety of massive enemies were nearly unrivaled, but the complexity of the game meant a learning curve that could scare off anyone who wasn’t willing to invest the time and brainpower into learning each and every encounter. But Monster Hunter World gave the series a more accessible entry point in 2018. Some of the most complex and frictional parts of the game were smoothed out for a more modern feel, and quality of life features made each boss battle-like “hunt” a more fun and less tenuous experience — all while maintaining the tradition of rewarding preparation and research while punishing those who recklessly enter battle....
Nintendo’s New “Splatoon 3” Ad is Fueling Speculation of Daft Punk Involvement
Eagle-eyed fans have caught sight of Daft Punk appearing in a print ad for Nintendo’s upcoming video game title, Splatoon 3. The ad appeared in CoroCoro, a Japanese Manga magazine, and features a shot of the forthcoming title on a television. It’s the surrounding decor, however, that particularly caught our eye. Standing up against the bottom left of the TV stand is a flyer for Daft Punk Airlines, which prominently features the dance music duo dressed in shorts and tropical shirts. The slogan “Around The World” is also seen on the flyer, no doubt a head nod to the duo’s groundbreaking 90s hit by the same name. Another Splatoon 3 ad in the magazine depicts a paint streak trailing off far into the distance amid a barren desert l...

Doom Eternal Channels the Sounds of The Ancient Gods Through Andrew Hulshult and David Levy

HHW Gaming: A Few Helpful Tips To Aid You On Your Mission To Buy To A PS5 or Xbox Series X
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Future Publishing / Getty It’s been roughly 5 months since the arrival of both the PS5 and Xbox Series X, and while the systems are different spec-wise, they both share one similar aspect, they are hard to find. If you asked anyone what’s the most difficult thing to purchase right now, without a doubt, the PS5, Xbox Series X, and a pair of Jordans would be on everyone’s lists. Before the launch of each next-gen console, both Microsoft and Sony warned gamers that availability would be an issue due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and they were not lying on that front. What gamers didn’t account for is the bots scooping the consoles up before they can add either one of them to their carts and swiftly dropping them on the online marketplaces like eBay or StockX.
