  1. *********’s Creed Shadows was supposed to be out next month. Ubisoft announced last week that the open-world RPG would be pushed to February 25 thanks to “soft” Star Wars Outlaws sales. The team says it will be using lessons learned to improve the game with those additional months, but what are you supposed to do with… Read more... View the full article
  2. Ironmouse is a Vtuber, meaning she streams as an anime avatar rather than as herself, and she just became the most subscribed channel in the history of Twitch. The record-breaking run capped off a subathon that saw her overtake Kai Cenat with a campaign that was largely in service of raising money for the Immune… Read more... View the full article
  3. We’re firmly in the era of the video-game-to-prestige-TV-adaptation pipeline, and you know what? It might not be all that bad. Coming off the impressive results of HBO’s The Last of Us and Amazon Prime’s Fallout TV show, we now have the first full trailer for Like a Dragon: Yakuza and it’s looking really good so far.

  4. The concept of Colassalcon immediately sold me at “swimsuit Comic-****,” and it had me for life after I got a look at all the incredible cosplay at the event. The Texas-based **** took place this August, spread out across three days at the Kalahari Resorts in Round Rock. As such, most of the costumes on display were… Read more... View the full article
  5. The internet loves Moo Deng, a pygmy hippopotamus living in a zoo in Thailand. The small hippo has gone truly viral online and is so popular that SNL has even gotten involved. And all that popularity has led to high prices on virtual baby hippos in Final Fantasy 14. Read more... View the full article
  6. Before Hades became what many consider to be 2020’s Game of the Year, its developer, Supergiant Games, made a trio of critically acclaimed titles that displayed the team’s impressive range. Everything from each title’s setting to its respective gameplay was wildly different from the others, which made for an… Read more... View the full article
  7. There was never a world in which NieR: Automata Ver1.1.a ended in a predictable way. The anime adaptation of the 2017 action RPG from Yoko Taro and PlatinumGames has continuously deviated from the expected narrative since it began airing in 2023. Over 24 episodes, Ver1.1a offered a gripping retelling of the original… Read more... View the full article
  8. If you thought legendary game director Hideo Kojima would just give us a no-nonsense look at the upcoming ****** Stranding 2 at this year’s Tokyo Game Show, you were wrong. Sure, during the weekend we got a chance to see the upcoming sequel’s impressive photo mode, modeled by the Hollywood actors who Kojima has scanned… Read more... View the full article
  9. A week ago, the independent Rules Committee for Magic: The Gathering Commander, the collectible card game’s most popular format in recent years, announced a surprise ban of three of its most popular and expensive cards. The reaction from some fans was swift, loud, and in some cases escalated to violent threats against… Read more... View the full article
  10. Hideo Kojima made his name in the video game industry as the creator of games like Metal Gear and Snatcher, and his work has often been so cinematic that fans (and detractors) have joked that what he really wanted to do was direct films. So perhaps it’s no surprise that he currently has plans to expand his work into… Read more... View the full article
  11. Astro **** contains a lot of references to PlayStation games and hardware from the past few decades. And with over 150+ so-called “Cameo Bots” representing various PlayStation characters, like Nathan Drake from Uncharted or Ratchet from Ratchet and Clank, it might seem like every big Sony franchise and cult classic is… Read more...

  12. In ***** Rising Deluxe Remaster, you can use just about anything as a *******. Because of this, a lot of the objects you can wield are joke items, there for the goofs, and don’t offer any true value. But amongst what you can pick up, there are a handful of weapons that stand out from the bunch. Read more... View the full article
  13. Neva is an upcoming platformer from Nomada Studio, the team that made the starkly beautiful and deeply emotional Gris. Neva, which releases on October 15, follows in the same footsteps as its predecessor, casting players in the role of Alba, a girl with a wolf companion who sets out on a journey through a dying… Read more...

  14. ****** Myth: Wukong features a wide variety of materials you’ll need to collect if you’re going to upgrade your weapons and armor. And trust me, you’re going to want to, as this game can be brutally difficult if your gear isn’t up to par. Early in the game, you’ll be able to start earning one such material known as… Read more...

  15. Earlier this month, Sony rolled out a new firmware update that, among other things, added a customizable welcome hub to the PlayStation 5 home screen. It’s lowkey one of the best new features the console has gotten in years, but it’s being overshadowed by an equally frustrating change that’s resulted in a bunch of… Read more...

  16. ***** Rising is back! The remaster of the original game is out across Xbox, PS5 and PC, letting us once more attempt to live out three days in the company of an awful lot of zombies. But surviving 72 hours in ***** Rising Deluxe Remaster’s Willamette Parkview Mall is not an easy task—it’ll force you to properly manage… Read more... View the full article
  17. Megalopolis, Francis Ford Coppola’s modern epic starring Adam Driver, Aubrey Plaza, Nathalie Emmanuel and more, released just a few days ago and it’s already being dubbed a “box office *****” and sparking a ton of internet conversations about Hollywood, risky movies, and more.

  18. Activision Blizzard has been the subject of immense attention and scrutiny over the past three years, ever since the company was sued over an alleged culture of workplace harassment in 2021. This was followed by a $69 billion acquisition by Microsoft and over 2000 layoffs at the company. With all these big,… Read more... View the full article
  19. Tekken development chief Katsuhiro Harada has long dreamed of adding Kentucky Fried Chicken’s founder-turned-mascot Colonel Sanders to the long-running fighting game. But according to Harada, KFC isn’t interested in the crossover. And it seems unlikely that you’ll get a Waffle House stage, either. Read more... View the full article
  20. If you’re a puzzle fan, then this year’s Riven remake was one of the most exciting releases of 2024. The updated version of the original 1997 adventure and a sequel to the equally iconic Myst, is an absolute joy to play for those who love unique game worlds filled with striking environments and complex challenges that… Read more...

  21. ****** Stranding 2: On The Beach is still on its way to the PlayStation 5 and at Tokyo Game Show 2024 over the weekend, director Hideo Kojima teased more gameplay, new features, and an in-game performance by ********* singer Daichi Miura and a group of ****** Stranding 2's unnerving Dollmen.

  22. Astro **** isn’t just a brilliant adventure platformer, it’s also an homage to PlayStation history. Sometimes that can make it feel like a Funko Pop branding exercise, but it’s also fun to see all of the nods to important games and characters from the platform’s past. That’s made some absences, like Final Fantasy VII,… Read more... View the full article
  23. Epic, the company behind the Unreal Engine and infinite money machine Fortnite, are yet again suing Google. Having recently won against Google in an anti-competitive practices suit, the games company is doing it all over again, this time dragging in Samsung in a suit over the way their tech allegedly goes out of its… Read more...

  24. Some call Batman the “Caped Crusader,” while others call him ********** Bale, Kevin Conroy, Michael Keaton…In his 85-year-long tenure as a sulky billionaire with wings, Batman has found the time to be a generous movie star, so today we honor him by ranking notable movies set in the Batman universe.
