Maybe you want to try your chops at streaming on Twitch, or maybe you just found a hilarious bug in a game you have to show off to the world. These days it's never been easier to record your gaming sessions, and share them with the world.
Game recording can be finicky though. Ask a bunch of streamers what their favorite software is, and you’ll get a bunch of different answers—and you’ll likely hear countless stories about how “x program didn’t work with y game,” or “so and so program crashed all the time on me.” Sadly, recording games isn’t always trouble-free, and everyone’s experience is a little different, so if you’re serious about recording your gameplay, you’ll definitely need to try them out for yourself—and you may want to have a couple programs on hand when one just isn’t cooperating.
WWE Survivor Series: The 13 Greatest Teams of All Time
After a very mixed-up week - which involved Daniel Bryan winning the WWE Championship and white hot Becky Lynch being pulled from her highly-anticipated PPV bout with Ronda Rousey - things have finally settled into place, mostly, regarding this Sunday's WWE Survivor Series PPV.

The rest of the card features a series of RAW vs. SmackDown Live matches - from Seth Rollins vs. Shinsuke Nakamura to the brands' respective 5-person men and women's teams clashing in "traditional" elimination encounters. It was a quick and clumsy road to get here, but everything's cinched into place now.
Rumor: Microsoft’s Considering Building a Disc-Less Xbox One for Release in 2019
A recent rumor suggests that Microsoft is considering a new Xbox One SKU that removes the disc drive as a cost-reducing measure.
As reported by Thurrott, this console would very much be part of the Xbox One family of devices and not the next-generation group of hardware that could compose Scarlett. This rumored Xbox One is expected to be released sometime in 2019, possibly as early as spring, and sell for $200 or less. The rumor also maintains that any Scarlet consoles would end up coming later, sometime in 2020.
Just Cause 4’s Army of Chaos: Strikes – IGN First
Just Cause 4 might still be about freeing an oppressed country through the medium of explosions, but exactly how you're freeing it has changed since the last game. Welcome to the Army of Chaos.
In this miniseries, we'll be running through the game's new systems for taking back regions across the nation of Solís, how you'll do that (spoiler, there's are lots of loud noises), and what you'll get in return.

Looking Glass Was ‘Game Development Grad School’ Says BioShock Developer
Looking Glass Studios is responsible for some of gaming’s most influential series ever, including System Shock, Thief, and Ultima Underworld. Since its heyday, many of its former employees have gone on to create even more classic games that draw clear inspiration from those groundbreaking worlds, like Dishonored and BioShock. For Joe Fielder, it was practically like going to grad school for the rest of his career.
“Looking Glass, you know a lot of those folks were former MIT,” Fielder said on this month’s episode of IGN Unfiltered. “They brought a lot of intellect and logic to making immersive sims. It ends up that making games based on logical simulations, having a strong logic background really helps. For all those folks, and working with

10 Big Changes from Pokemon Yellow to Pokemon: Let’s Go
It’s been 20 years since the launch of Pokemon Yellow in Japan, and in that time the creature-collecting franchise has evolved quite a bit. Pokemon: Let’s Go, Pikachu and Let’s Go, Eevee revisit the enhanced, Pikachu-focused take on Pokemon Red and Blue, and while Game Freak’s remake is largely faithful to the Game Boy classic, not everything's the same.
Here are 10 big changes from Pokemon Yellow to Pokemon: Let’s Go.
Pokemon Go Park
Much of Kanto in Let’s Go is a spruced up version of what you remember from Pokemon Yellow, but fans will spot several changes to the overworld—some big and others small. Most noteworthy is the Safari Zone north of Fuchsia City, which is no longer an explorable area where you can capture Pokemon. In Let’s Go, it’s essentially an entryway to Pokemon Go Park, an entirely new area where you can import your creatures from Pokemon Go.
