Magic is flowing freely once again at Brakebills, in Fillory, and beyond. To override the Library’s strict system of rationing, it took our heroes a full season of quests, popped-out fairy eyeballs, sidekicks rising to the occasion, a hedgewitch alliance, personal growth, fearless sacrifice, and Josh’s muffins. That only accounts for about an eighth of what happened during The Magicians season 4, the show’s fantastically sprawling, thematically ambitious, and most controversial season yet....

In the first Deadpool movie, one of the jokes in the marketing portrayed it as a love story to tie in with the fact that it came out just before Valentine’s Day. It’s not exactly lying as Wade’s actions are all motivated by love. Sure, he may look like a sculpture made of dried bubble gum and he has some serious personality problems, but Wade Wilson has a lengthy list of love interests over the years....

When it comes to animated sitcoms, South Park operates in a class of its own. While other cartoons have captured our imaginations and made us laugh ourselves stupid, the brains of creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker have produced more side-splitting laughs and (arguably) more accurate and thoughtful political and social commentary than any others. While the first South Park games came out in the late 90s, the current generation is blowing those prior titles out of the water....

The next Battlefield entry will be released in 2021, according to Electronic Arts (via PC Gamer). Battlefield 5 and Star Wars: Battlefront 2 are mellowing out, having received their penultimate and ultimate updates; Into the Jungle and The Battle of Scarif, respectively. As a result, developer DICE may focus on the future, and narrow down the woolly window of “2021 to 2022” for the next Battlefield game. Right now, “the studio [DICE] is focused on the future of Battlefield that we’ll be bringing to players in 2021....

With the PC port of Red Dead Redemption 2 now out in the wild following its launch on November 5, how are fans finding it? Well, some players are having to battle against Rockstar’s launcher to get the game running. Still. There’s no denying that Red Dead Redemption 2 was one of the masterpieces of recent gaming history. Not only is it Rockstar’s most ambitious project to date, it’s perhaps one of the biggest games ever made....

By aligning with the First Order, the Resistance, and the Scoundrels, you can meet iconic Star Wars characters and undertake themed missions. The good news you don’t have to align with one alone - you’re able to work with all three over the course of playing the expansion....

We’ve not heard too much about the anticipated live-action adaptation of the Gears of War franchise, but way back in February Screen Rant reported that Len Wiseman (Underworld, Live Free or Die Hard) would be directing the Gears of War feature film and co-writing the screenplay alongside Chris Morgan (Wanted, Fast & Furious). Unfortunately, Wiseman also said he knows nothing about video games - A big red flag considering all video game movies tend to suck because movie studios can’t/don’t replicate the important parts of a video game....

There was a lot of commotion in the video game industry in 2018. Can you remember everything that went down? If not, we’ve put together some of the top gaming headlines to jog your memory. Here are a few big events that you might have forgotten about, with some still impacting players. Fallout 76 Was A Mess What can we say about Fallout 76 that hasn’t already been said? The online multiplayer only game has been littered with problems since launch....

Capcom has announced that long-time series fan favourite character Dan Hibiki will be joining the Street Fighter V: Champion Edition roster from February. The character had been set to kick off Season 5 of the game as a winter 2020 release, but as revealed in a recent Developer Message video from the game’s producer Shuhei Matsumoto, the team had been adjusting their development style to “prioritize the safety of the development team, their family members and partners” following the COVID-19 guidelines, as well as trying to maintain the “level of quality that meets our standards” for the content, meaning he won’t arrive until right at the end of that season, in February 2021....

There aren’t very many games currently available for the Nintendo 3DS, and the few that are available aren’t all that great. That’s why Super Monkey Ball 3D is such a standout for the handheld that anyone will have fun with. There are certainly a few issues that pop up whilst playing the game that make the experience feel a bit cheap, such as a short story mode and uninteresting mini-games. That being said, Super Monkey Ball 3D is still a decent game that anyone can pickup, play, and have a solid amount of fun with....

On Monday, the owners of Rockstar Games and 2K Games, Take-Two Interactive, publicised that its total net revenue in the first quarter of fiscal year 2020 exceeded $540 million with gross profits of $299 million, as reported by GamesIndustry.biz. ‘Recurrent consumer spending’ is responsible for almost 60 per cent of net revenue generated in the first fiscal quarter; that’s also known as in-game purchases and DLC to us poor louts who don’t own a diamond encrusted lavatory....

Tales Of The Unexpected was an anthology series of imaginative and compelling dramas each with a “twist in the tale” produced for the ITV network by Anglia Television. Anthology series on British television had been decidedly sci-fi orientated, hitherto, with the BBC series Out Of The Unknown (1965-71) capitalizing on the imported success of the granddaddy of them all, Rod Serling’s The Twilight Zone. The story has it that Anglia’s Drama supremo Sir John Woolf had a chance meeting with Roald Dahl, master of macabre tall stories, at a Christmas party in 1976....

Every Pokémon game needs it’s Pidgey, even if that game isn’t technically Pokémon. Temtem’s Pidgey is Paharo, a bird that sort of combines the look of a parrot and a chicken into a single star-faced package. As with Pidgeys, Taillows, and Starlys, Paharo is an extremely easy to find Temtem and you’ll probably catch several of them in the very earliest stages of the game. However, just in case you can’t find one (or you just want to know what to do with it once you tame one), we’re here to help out with this guide....

Choosing which Temtem Starter to begin the game with is a decision that’s plagued many a Pokémon player over the years. Not only do you have to make a start choice between Crystle, Smazee and Houchic within five minutes of starting the game, what makes things even more difficult is there are some clear differences to Pokémon - with a different set of Types to learn and understand, and little knowledge of the meta....

For the longest time, Terraria players have been dying to have a dating mechanic added to the game, even crafting their own perfect ideas for how it should be implemented. Despite the outcry for it, there still hasn’t been any romance added to the game as of 2021. This is Terraria, though! Where you’re rewarded for your customization and creativity skills. As such, it makes complete sense that someone would go out of their way to roleplay an actual marriage in the game....

The past decade has been full of fun and engaging multiplayer games. Games such as Black Ops 2, Titanfall 2, and Overwatch have made great impressions on gamers. Unfortunately, there is another side to the story. There is a slew of multiplayer games that fell flat on their face. With good games comes bad games and the games on this list are certainly bad games. This list is comprised of multiplayer games with local and online capabilities....
