The first February update for Old School RuneScape sees a much needed new boss added to the game. Old School RuneScape‘s last major PvM update was back in July 2019. Unlike the prior update, the new Nightmare of Ashihama boss does not directly feature as part of a quest. The Nightmare was originally polled back in November but has since had several changes made to it for balance purposes. All you need to take on The Nightmare is the completion of the Priest in Peril quest and 10,000 coins....

This is a spoiler free review of The OA. Though it does contain spoilers for Season 1 and some plot details already included in Netflix’s trailers for the season. When it landed on Netflix in 2016, The OA was a bit of a revelation. A strange, gorgeous, sprawling sci-fi yarn about love, death, faith and humanity, packed with indelible images and unfolding revelations. It was a highly emotional, grown-up drama that also weaved in Stranger Things vibes from the four youngsters and their teacher enlisted to hear and participate in Prairie’s (Brit Marling) weird, mesmerising tale....

Thanks to the long-standing tradition of airing Frank Capra’s 1946 festive fantasy drama every December, It’s A Wonderful Life has become a popular culture touchstone, and for many, re-watching the film is a Christmas tradition. The film’s story of a small town family man facing financial ruin being coaxed back from suicide by an angel who shows him how important he is to the world is now as festive as overspending and overeating....

Let’s not beat around the bush here, The Outer Worlds is Obsidian Entertainment’s successful attempt at showing the world that Bethesda isn’t the only one who can make Fallout-style RPG games. The company previously worked with Bethesda to make Fallout: New Vegas, which is a fan favorite, back in 2010. Since then, Obsidian has been chugging along with titles like Pillars of Eternity and South Park: The Stick Of Truth, but, have they yet again managed to nail Fallout better than the company known for the IP ever could?...

Director Maxim Pozdorovkin wants you to know the truth about killer robots. And it’s a truth that’s far more complex than you’d think. While Pozdorovkin’s documentary, The Truth About Killer Robots, opens with the story of a robot on human homicide in Germany, it isn’t purely about a Skynet future in which bloodthirsty androids kill indiscriminately to replace us. Instead the documentary is about all of the quieter yet equally insidious ways that technology has already replaced us....

This review of The Twilight Zone contains spoilers. Beware! The Twilight Zone Season 2 Episode 3 At times when watching New Twilight Zone—which for brevity I’ll dub “NTZ” for the rest of this review—it can feel like there’s an identity crisis casting shadows around the fringes of the show. At no fault of its own, NTZ was born into a difficult TV landscape where anthologies are bountiful and the stakes have been raised....

The upcoming Uncharted movie starring Tom Holland as Nathan Drake has been pushed back once more, as Sony Pictures has announced a raft of release date shufflings in-part due to cinema closures as a result of the ongoing global pandemic. According to the Hollywood Reporter, the movie —which will also feature Mark Whalberg in the role of Victor ‘Sully’ Sullivan—will now no longer be releasing this summer, being pushed from its former July 2021 release into February 11, 2022....

If you’ve played The Witcher games, read the books, or even recently watched the Netflix show, then you know about Yennefer. The cold sorceress is completely fine with causing havoc if it means getting what she wants or protecting her family. While Yennefer may see everything she does as necessary, many other characters in the Witcher universe strongly disagree with her actions. From the time she was introduced in the books, Yennefer has committed several crimes, including necromancy, all to help achieve her personal goals....

Geralt of Rivia is the protagonist and main character of all three Witcher games, but by no means is he the most powerful or capable. In fact, there are plenty of monsters and humans that outmatch, outsmart, and are just plain better than he is. One of those is even his adopted daughter, Cirilla or Ciri. The difference between the two in terms of capabilities is undeniable and as clear as night and day....

The Witcher 3’s Blood & Wine expansion has to be one of the all-time greats, adding a meaty 25+ hour storyline and a massive new open world to explore. It also introduces new mechanics, so if you’re wondering how best to make use of them, as well as other dos and don’ts, we’ve prepared a tips and tricks guide to help. You’ll Want to Be Over Level 30 for Blood and Wine Blood and Wine is an endgame expansion....

While Kaer Morhen provided Geralt with a firm footing, he will need to continue honing his skills to take on the many perils awaiting him throughout The Witcher 3. There are many ways to accrue experience outside of battle, from Gwent matches to horse racing and fistfights. But a witcher’s time for leisurely activities is limited, leaving them with little choice but to sharpen their skills and gain experience along the path....

Developer CD Projekt Red has done what many considered impossible with the launch of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Complete Edition on the Nintendo Switch. With two expansions and additional DLC included in the port, players can look forward to a massive 100-300 hours of well-made content with the same great voice acting fans have come to expect from the series. The port is an outstanding addition to the Nintendo Switch for its portability, though if one were to play the game for the first time or prefer a more satisfying visual experience, there are better and cheaper options available elsewhere....

Capcom has announced Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition, which includes everything from the base game including the 12 characters from the season 1 and 2 DLC, as well as a few extra modes and features, too. On top of the now 28 strong roster, a new Arcade mode has been added that allows players to ‘choose from six different paths themed after classic Street Fighter games,’ a timed challenges mode called Extra Battle, some new V-Triggers, and a re-designed UI....

Insomniac Games’ Sunset Overdrive looks set to arrive on PC in the near future, if a rating by the ESRB is anything to go by (via Kotaku). This is the second time that Sunset Overdrive has been rated for PC, with the Korea’s Game Rating and Administration Committee listing the game back in May. The ESRB rating doesn’t cough up any new info, although it seems pretty clear at this point that a PC port is definitely on the horizon....

This Supergirl review contains spoilers. Supergirl Season 2, Episode 2 It’s hard enough transitioning from one season to another (and all of the changes that entails) without also transitioning from one network and city to another. Given all of the behind-the-scenes changes Supergirlseason 2 has had to make with its move to Vancouver and The CW, it’s even more impressive that this show has come back even better than before. “The Last Children of Krypton” was proof that the Supergirlseason 2 premiere was no fluke....

It seems as though popular battle royale puzzler Tetris 99 is nearly ready to launch the second chunk of its paid DLC that will allow local multiplayer to be added to the game. Eurogamer spotted that a listing for ‘DLC 2’ had gone up on the Nintendo Australia Store tipping folks off that the offline multiplayer mode’s arrival may be soon, while a trip to the equivalent page on the Nintendo UK store for the Tetris 99 DLC reveals what those modes are....

Some people play the Dragon Age games for detailed worldbuilding or apocalyptic and political plots. It’s engrossing as it casts you as the hero being pulled at by many different currents and interests. But every good hero needs some support, right? That’s where the relationship-building part of these games comes into play. The games allow players to assemble a team of allies and confidants to face the oncoming end of all things....

September is here and with it a deluge of amazing new games! It’s only been a couple weeks and I’m already behind in all of the great content what with Dragon Quest XI, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Marvel’s Spider-Man, and a few other. It’s a good feeling even though the weight is crushing. Hype aside let’s dial things back to one of those games: Marvel’s Spider-Man. It’s not a surprising statement by this point, but it is very good....

This The 100 review contains spoilers. The 100 Season 6 Episode 11 Allegiances are all over the map in this episode in a wonderfully dizzying kind of way. Russell sizes up Murphy correctly – little does he know, Murphy just recently had a serious come to Jesus moment and will be Ride or Die for his people for at least the next 15 minutes. Clarke also missed that memo, so she doesn’t know if she can trust Murphy....

This The 100 review contains spoilers. The 100 Season 6 Episode 7 Clarkes sins came back to haunt her as she fought Josephine to stay alive in her mind palace, with the help of some old familiar faces. This episode managed to feel like it was rushing to cram everything in while also somehow leaving the viewer with the viewer with the feeling of, “oh, that was it?” After all that, the ball barely advanced down the field....
