When it comes to gaming sequels, consumers are often unsure of what to expect as far as developers living up to the expectations set by a classic title. This is especially true when an anticipated release follows a long break or goes in an entirely new direction. Sometimes a completely new developer may take on a project from a company that has gone belly-up or wishes to move on from a franchise....
The Nintendo Entertainment System broke a lot of ground in the video game world and paved the way for the much more advanced games we have today. It also was the first home video game console to make survival and horror games possible. While there were some survival games on older consoles, they lacked the graphical detail that the NES was capable of. © robtek/Shutterstock.com Because of this power, NES games could deliver excellent graphics alongside a compelling story and soundtrack....
This review contains spoilers. “You’ve come full circle…” Noah continues to be a character that fascinates me in this show because at times I really don’t know if The Affair is a fan of him or not. He’s without a doubt a character that’s done a lot of terrible, selfish things throughout the run of the series, but he has also shown progress in substantial ways. The final season for any series typically addresses how much its characters have grown since the pilot, but that’s kind of what this drama is all about....
Matt Reeves’ much-anticipated The Batman is just around the corner, and even though it’s marketed itself as an uber dark take on the iconic Caped Crusader, we now have word that the upcoming superhero pic will be receiving a PG-13 rating from the Motion Picture Association. Announced back in 2019, The Batman’s road to release has been laser-focused on its gritty, adult tone, so it’s come as a bit of a surprise to fans that Warner Bros....
Striking Distance Studios has shown off the first cinematic trailer for a new survival horror the team is working on entitled The Callisto Protocol. Studio head Glen Schofield—who left Call of Duty: WWII developer Sledgehammer in 2018—unveiled the game during last night’s The Game Awards broadcast, and revealed that it takes place on Jupiter’s moon Callisto (hence the title) in 2320. You’re stuck in the maximum security Black Iron Prison and must escape after the place is taken over by an unspeakable horror that’s been transforming the prisoner population....
The Day Before has had quite the journey since its reveal in 2021. Numerous delays have set Fntastic’s zombie survival MMO behind, with the Russian developer citing a variety of reasons as to why this project has yet to meet the team’s targeted release dates. Just when it seemed to be ready to hit its release later this month, Fntastic revealed that it would be delayed an additional eight months due to a trademark issue....
The first three games in the Dragon Quest series are being ported to the Nintendo Switch and will be released in Europe and North America on the same day as Dragon Quest XI S: Echoes of an Elusive Age - Definitive Edition.

You can watch the trailer at this link if you haven’t already. Dropped in a surprise fashion at the very end of this year’s E3 edition of Nintendo Direct, this teaser for the upcoming Breath Of The Wild sequel quickly took the internet by storm....
Publisher Nacon has announced that The Lord of the Rings: Gollum is delayed. It will not be coming out this September. And may be out next year, depending on how long this delay is.

We are dedicated to meeting our community’s expectations and uncovering the untold story of Gollum in a way that honours the vision of J....
Around a campfire with a group of his fellow stardom-seeking misfits, Gonzo the Great performs the haunting ballad “I’m Going to Go Back There Someday.” Anyone who has ever had the pleasure of watching The Muppet Movie will be quick to point out that this scene is an instant tear-jerker that evokes a sense of longing. It’s a pretty unexpected move from a character previously known for misfire stunts and having uncomfortable relations with poultry, yet someone Gonzo becomes the emotional soul of the Muppets’ first feature… and a character who sums up the dreams of anyone yearning for more than their current lot in life....
The fourth major game in The Sims franchise was released in 2014. Even though The Sims 4 is still getting new expansions, game packs, and stuff packs released all the time, fans are still wondering what’s on the horizon for the series and what The Sims 5 will have in store. There are a lot of features that The Sims 4 has brought into the series that fans are hoping will appear in the next game....
This article comes from Den of Geek UK. This feature contains spoilers for Hancock. Back in the 1990s, Will Smith ascended from being the Fresh Prince to being the king of the Fourth of July weekend. Summer blockbusters like Independence Day and Men in Black cemented his position as a box office draw well into the following decade. Naturally, Smith has pursued other avenues as his career has gone on, but arguably 2008’s Hancock was the last full-on star vehicle he opened on that coveted weekend....
Less than two months after another film (Green Book) about a white savior and a magic black man who come together under unusual circumstances to set each other’s lives back on course, The Upside limps into theaters with almost an identical set of problems as the entertaining but rote Viggo Mortensen–Mahershala Ali awards bait film. While The Upside, like Green Book, boasts generally strong performances from its two charismatic leads–Kevin Hart acquits himself pretty nicely in his first major dramatic role–the work done by Hart and co-star Bryan Cranston cannot save a cliché, manipulative and ultimately shallow movie....
The dead skin enthusiast group, The Whisperers, remain the biggest threat to our crew on The Walking Dead. But just because the Whisperers have Alpha dog status (see what we did there?) doesn’t mean that the boring old walking dead can’t still cause some damage. As evidenced in this exclusive new clip from The Walking Dead season 10 episode 4 “Silence the Whisperers,” fighting the dead is exhausting work. Watch below as Yumiko, Magna, Connie, Nora, and Luke all use their respective weapons of choice to defend Hilltop Colony against a horde of walkers....
One of the best parts about The Witcher 3 is experimenting with the various romance options in the game. But outside of Geralt’s love interests, there are some other great couples in the game, too. That said, there are also a few annoying relationships you’ll encounter, people cheat, manipulate, and do a lot of other terrible things to each other. This is a dark fantasy game, after all. The following list details some of the best and worst couples in the game....
It seems like news about The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt will never end, and we’re fine with that. Earlier today, GOG Galaxy 2.0 announced that it is giving away the GOG version of The Witcher 3 to qualified owners on other platforms. The free promotion will end on June 23 at 12 p.m. BST /4 a.m. PDT / 7 a.m. EDT, so don’t wait. If you own the The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt on one of your gaming platforms connected to GOG GALAXY 2....
For years now, Capcom’s Street Fighter V has suffered from poor netcode implementation. Using a screwy version of rollback netcode, a recently released fan-made mod reportedly fixed the issues for everyone that used it. This was the way the game was meant to be played and it only took someone reverse-engineering the code to solve it. Capcom didn’t immediately respond but promised it would be putting out a patch to deal with the netcode issues....
Warning: This article contains potential Supergirl season 3 spoilers. You know what my first thought was when that mysterious rocket crashed in the Supergirl season 1 finale? I’m not joking. “Wouldn’t it be cool if Mon-El was in this rocket?” Well, guess, what? Mon-El was in that pod, and played by Chris Wood, he has been dividing the Supergirl fandom for over a year now! You know what this isn’t? A comprehensive history of Mon-El....
Bandai Namco Games has announced the next slew of DLC for Tekken 7, with veteran brawlers Armor King and Craig Marduk now available for the PlayStation 4, PC, and Xbox One fighting game sequel. Armor King should be familiar to anyone who has played the earlier Tekken games. He was King’s sub-boss for Tekken and Tekken 2, before taking a break and turning up again in Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection. Marduk joined in Tekken 4 and is a huge fella specialising in grapples and power attacks, and joins here pretty much as you remember him, albeit with some new face fuzz....
