  1. Magic: the Gathering’s Universes Beyond Final Fantasy set is almost upon us, with a scheduled release of June 13, 2025. However, if you simply can’t wait to collect or play with all your favorite characters and creatures from the legendary RPG series, you are in luck as this weekend, local game stores across the… Read more...

  2. It’s rare to see a tagline so perfectly summarize the heart of a show like, “We were safer in space.” FX’s sci-fi horror series Alien: Earthhas put out its first full trailer, and those two-and-a-half minutes set this up as a contender for the scariest show of 2025.

  3. Happy Nintendo Switch 2 launch day! Did you get one? Are you still waiting on a delivery? Hopefully it all works out for you, like it did for some folks who pre-ordered a Switch 2 via Walmart. Not only did their consoles arrive early in the morning, but they showed up with snacks and other goodies, too. Well, for some… Read more... View the full article
  4. As I write this, I’m in an Uber on my way to the airport to fly to Los Angeles for Summer Game Fest. Odds are, there wasn’t really going to be a good window for me to use my Switch 2 if it had showed up on time, but this doesn’t change my disappointment that it still has not arrived at my home in New York City. I… Read more... View the full article
  5. The original Switch version of open-world superhero game Batman: Arkham Knight is a giant technical mess, featuring massive performance problems that make it borderline unplayable in many sections. But on Switch 2, things are much better, with some caveats. Read more... View the full article
  6. Mario Kart World features a massive map to explore full of puzzles, challenges, and other quests to complete. Players can wander around it to their hearts content in Free Roam mode. But they won’t be able to do it with a friend sitting next to them. Unlike the rest of the Switch 2 exclusive’s game modes, this one… Read more... View the full article
  7. Of everything that came out of yesterday’s PlayStation State of Play, the thing that’s stuck with me—in all the worst ways—is the announcement of Thief VR. Thief is, on most days, my favorite gaming series (it’s Deus Ex on the others). The idea of getting a new game in the franchise, even after the woefully irrelevant … Read more...

  8. Imagine you were up at midnight to pre-order the Switch 2. You waited months for the official launch day. Then you waited again in line at midnight to be one of the first to pick it up and play the new Nintendo hardware. But as you open it, the long-awaited moment of joy turns to horror as you find that someone… Read more... View the full article
  9. Recluse is one of the Nightreign’s magic-based classes, and she’s arguably the most complex character to master. When played right, Recluse is an absolute killer, able to take down enemies and bosses with relative ease. Read more... View the full article
  10. For the past 20 years, the Money In The Bank briefcase has become one of the WWE’s most powerful narrative tools the company has in its arsenal.

  11. Today, Sony held its latest State of Play and while it didn’t include some of the ******* games that people were likely hoping for, like a new God of War spin-off, it did include some cool suprirses, including what might be the best-looking fighting game I’ve seen in years and a remake of beloved Final Fatnasy title.

  12. Today, during Sony’s big State of Play, IO Interactive revealed a new trailer for its upcoming James Bond game, 007 First Light. The big news out of the trailer is the first official reveal of the game’s new James Bond, which you can see in the image above. Read more... View the full article
  13. The rumors were true: Final Fantasy Tactics is getting a remake on modern platforms. The incredible PlayStation 1 strategy RPG will be graphically overhauled so new audiences can fall in love with its meaty combat systems and tragic storytelling all over again this September.

  14. I’m nervous. We missed two churches and lost a level in the mines. The Gaping Jaw Nightlord is weak to poison but no poison weapons spawned on the map. I spent my final runes on hitting level 12. We’re cooked. Oh my god why are we watching the final cutscene before the boss encounter AGAIN. Read more... View the full article
  15. AMC, the largest theater chain in the United States, will soon start showing even more commercials before the start of a movie. This is on top of the usual 20 minutes of trailers and ads already shown before most films. Read more... View the full article
  16. Ever since Robert Downey Jr. blew our multiversal minds at San Diego Comic-**** last year when he revealed he was returning to the MCU as Doctor Doom, Marvel fanatics have been trying to figure out just when Victor Von Doom would appear. After the Thunderbolts*post-credit scene appeared to hint at Dr. Doom’s arrival… Read more... View the full article
  17. Epic Games has revealed more about the upcoming Switch 2 port of its popular battle royale game, Fortnite.

  19. Elden Ring Nightreign can pose an immense challenge, even for seasoned veterans of the Soulslike genre. So, you’ll want to be sure you’ve got all of the resources you can possibly find to increase your chances of survival.

  20. Many of us have been waiting for the day when we could download Ryan Coogler’s exceptional horror flick Sinners so it can scare us in the comfort of our own homes.

Wait a minute. Read more... View the full article

  24. In a functioning universe, the disastrous results of adding an AI-voiced Darth Vader to Fortnite would have led to the concept being torn up and abandoned.

  25. Nearly a decade after the original Switch came out, and following years of fans’ pining for a major upgrade to Nintendo’s wildly popular portable gaming platform, the Switch 2 is here.
