  1. In the Legend of Zelda series, everyone knows the Hero of Hyrule Link, Princess Zelda, and the ****** King Ganondorf. The series has spanned over two dozen games and five timelines, but because the series is jumping between its codified continuities, the three Triforce bearers are some of the only constants throughout… Read more...

  2. 11 years after it was released, Grand Theft Auto V’s starting location (snowy North Yankton) is finally being added to GTA Online as part of an upcoming, limited-time zombie survival mode that is arriving in the game next week. Read more... View the full article
  3. The year was 1996. Will Smith, ascendant from the smashing success of Independence Day, and Tommy Lee Jones, recovering from Batman Forever, got into a hermetically sealed cockpit to film one of the more iconic moments from Men in ****** when Smith let out an unforgettably bad *****.

  4. “It’s one of the greatest vampire movies ever made,” director, writer, and actor Kevin Smith said about Near Dark in a recent interview with Kotaku. Yet the 1986 vampire western from then-unknown director Kathryn Bigelow is nearly impossible to watch in 2024, and that’s a ***** shame. Read more... View the full article
  5. It’s hard to believe that Diablo IV, the latest entry in Activision Blizzard’s action role-playing game series, has been around for over a year now. In that time, Diablo 4 has proved again and again that it might just be the best entry the franchise has ever seen, with an excellent iteration on the core gameplay loop… Read more...

  6. After 11 years away, everyone’s favorite zombie-slaying cheerleader, Juliet, finally made her big comeback with Lollipop Chainsaw: RePOP. Unfortunately, our girl’s had some work done, and it’s not necessarily for the better, but, look, we’re just glad she’s back. There’s just not a whole ***** of a lot out there that… Read more...

  7. Paramount Game Studios has confirmed that Saber Interactive, who recently released Space Marine 2, is working on a massive AAA RPG based on the hit animated series Avatar: The Last Airbender. Read more... View the full article
  8. The next chapter in Diablo IV’s post-launch journey is almost here and it’s once again going to be turning a lot of the action-RPG on its head. A bevy of changes coming to all players as part of the Season 6 update will also be met by a ton of new content from the simultaneous Vessel of Hatred expansion. Blizzard… Read more...

  9. The Mortal Kombat 1: Khaos Reigns update has some big changes for the fighting game. Aside from every character gaining an Animality finisher, various buffs and nerfs, and a new (widely hated) story expansion, something that has many fans pleased is the return of the Towers of Time.

  10. In Ubisoft’s open-world game Watch Dogs (and its sequels), you can quickly scan any NPC you meet and discover facts about them, including their name, address, ********* record, and so on. And now two people have essentially created this tech in real life using Meta’s smart glasses and mostly off-the-shelf tech and… Read more... View the full article
  11. In 2024, when a new game is announced, you can usually count on it to be released on PC, PlayStation, and possibly Switch. But it’s become a bit less of a guarantee that new games or ports will land on Xbox consoles, and it seems Microsoft is aware of this and is asking devs why. Read more... View the full article
  12. My first mistake was rushing in. Shogun Showdown is a game about planning and patience. Things can go from bad to ***** in just a few turns. Unless you take a step back and try to see the larger picture, it can feel like an overly simplistic and needlessly punishing experience. My first, brief sessions with Shogun… Read more...

  13. Even with a number of big games still set to release in the last few months of 2024, it’s never too early to look forward to what 2025 will bring. One of the most exciting releases on the horizon is Monster Hunter Wilds, the next entry in Capcom’s action role-playing game series. The series has been around for 20… Read more...

  14. PlayStation’s only really released a handful of major exclusives to show for its efforts since the PS5 launched in 2020. **** of War Ragnarök, the latest game in the long-running action franchise, is one of those titles, releasing at the tail-end of 2022 on both the PS4 and PS5 to acclaim and huge sales.… Read more...

  15. A new report says that Paramount has greenlit a live-action/CGI hybrid adaption of the classic Nickelodeon cartoon Rugrats from the ‘90s. Are you ready for this horrible cinematic nightmare? Read more... View the full article
  16. There are tons of mods for ****** Myth: Wukong, from ones that make the action game’s parry window a little more forgiving to others that turn the main character into Goku. But I was not prepared for just how absurd and unhinged the hit 2024 game looks as a Wolfenstein-style first-person shooter. Read more... View the full article
  17. If you were a creature of the ‘80s and ‘90s, you may remember pining for the colorful plastic Boo Buckets McDonald’s gave out every Halloween with its Happy Meals. You could trick-or-treat with them, use them to give out candy, or just chuck them in the closet with the rest of junk in your room, only to be discovered… Read more... View the full article
  18. The Suikoden series of role-playing games may be defunct, but for its devoted fans, it ******** a cherished example of the genre at its best. People love these games! Which they are absolutely correct to do. Suikoden games—especially the first two in the series—feature fantastic stories of political intrigue filled… Read more... View the full article
  19. TwitchCon 2024 was a total whirlwind. During the three-day-long convention for the streaming platform, I saw drag performances, fake debates, wild cosplays, and a Chevron installation. I brushed elbows with big Twitch streamers like Hasan ******, Caroline Kwan, JuiceBoxx, Deere, and more—all while incredibly jet-lagged. Read more... View the full article
  20. Due to the destruction and power outages caused by Hurricane Helene hitting the ******* States, Square Enix has temporarily paused a feature in its popular MMORPG Final Fantasy 14 that demolished player homes if they didn’t log in frequently enough. Read more... View the full article
  21. The new Sonic Lego sets were one of the many announcements made during this year’s Sonic Central stream. ***** showed off a lot in that presentation, so these sets went under the radar compared to things like the DC Comics collaboration and new looks at games like Sonic X Shadow Generations. But did y’all see these new… Read more... View the full article
  22. October hits different. The spooky month is often bursting with new games to play ahead of the end of the year, and 2024's buffet of releases is keeping the tradition alive. From PC to Nintendo Switch, from Super Mario Party Jamboree to Dragon Age: The Veilguard, here are 34 games you should have on your radar this… Read more... View the full article
  23. 1984's A Nightmare on Elm Street introduced the world to a new slasher icon: Freddy Krueger. The burned-up child ********* with a razor glove who hunts kids in their sleep to ***** them was played by Robert Englund in eight films and a TV series. And while many might wish he would return to the role following 2010's… Read more... View the full article
  24. Every October, without fail, I recommit to watching and playing as many horror movies and games as I can possibly fit. For one reason or another, however, I always drop off about halfway through the month with just a handful of accomplishments to actually show for my effort, and I’m sure this year will be no… Read more...
