If there’s a major takeaway from The Spy Who Dumped Me, another late-August buddy action comedy from the studio that brought you last summer’s sleeper hit The Hitman’s Bodyguard, it’s that Mila Kunis and Kate McKinnon make a very likeable team. As best friends Audrey and Morgan, they’ve got some very nice chemistry going in the midst of a non-starter of a movie. At the start of the film, they’re commiserating over Audrey’s dickish boyfriend Drew (Justin Theroux) dumping her by text, the week before her birthday....

This The Twilight Zone review contains spoilers. The Twilight Zone Episode 3 As a fan of 12 Monkeys, Timeless, and other time travel shows, I had high hopes for “Replay,” The Twilight Zone’s third episode in its CBS All Access reincarnation. Unfortunately, the story got so bogged down in its institutional racism satire that it both defanged its sci-fi gimmick, a camcorder that rewinds time, and overshadowed a much more poignant message about family and the importance of remembering one’s roots....

This The Walking Dead feature contains spoilers for the show and the comic. You know what they say: if you introduce a radio in the first act of a dystopian zombie play, it had better deliver a mysterious message in the third act. The Walking Dead has always had a hopeful relationship with radios. The perfect post-apocalypse communication technology has popped up here and there throughout the show’s nine seasons, including during Rick’s attempts to communicate with Morgan in the first season....

The Witcher 3 released almost five years back, but its impact can still be felt to this day — although due credit must be given to the Netflix series for bolstering the sales of the game even further and making it relevant once again. Regardless of the circumstances, only a game of the utmost quality would still be played frequently to this very day, and The Witcher 3 oozes quality out of every pore....

Since The Witcher 3’s release in 2015, the game has garnered substantial praise for the quality of its quests, both the main and the side ones. This has raised questions about how new players should go about playing through the game. Should they stick to the main quests so they can experience the story without distractions? Or should they try to explore all the wonderful side quests? This list attempts to help answer that question by giving five reasons why you should focus on the main story and five reasons why you should do all the side quests....

Since the Nintendo Switch’s inception, Super Mario Odyssey has become one of the console’s standout releases and one of the standout 3D mainline Mario games. While the game played well and ran smoothly to begin with, an emulation team has managed to get Super Mario Odyssey up and running on PC at 60 frames-per-second. Super Mario Odyssey ran well in the first place on its native console. However, this hasn’t stopped some from trying to improve its performance even further....

This Supernatural review contains spoilers. Supernatural Season 14 Episode 10 Returning from such a big mid-season finale primed Supernatural fans to expect a bombastic mid-season opener. Surely explosions, death-defying feats, and certain doom from the likes of Michael-Dean were to follow. When the episode opened on a folksy bar scene, resplendent with its wholesome Marshall Tucker music playing in the background that we were thrown for a loop. Truthfully, it’s Dean who was in a loop — Michael stuck Dean in a happy scenario where Dean owns a bar staffed by the currently dead psychic Pamela....

Part of the paid Nintendo Switch Online Service offering – launching in the autumn after a free period – is the promise of a monthly free Classic game download. Here’s how Nintendo described the offer. “Monthly game download: Subscribers will get to download and play a Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) or Super Nintendo Entertainment System (Super NES) game (with newly-added online play) for free for a month.” There has been some confusion regarding the “free for a month” line, with some thinking it similar to PS Plus model, whilst others took it to mean the game would be playable for free only for a month....

OtherSide Entertainment, the studio behind System Shock 3, has issued an update on the project which was reportedly on the rocks (via VGC). Earlier this year, an anonymous OtherSide employee revealed that the game was “critically behind” on its schedule, and confirmed that the team was “no longer employed.” This tallied with what a former community manager had said previously about the project, although the company itself had not acknowledged the reports....

[Update April 23 @12:15 AM EST]: The official Twitter account for Counter-Strike: Global Offensive has addressed the alleged leak. According to the account, the source code being distributed was “limited CS:GO engine code depot released to partners in late 2017.” However, it also doesn’t believe players should “be alarmed or avoid the current builds.” The CS:GO Twitter account continues, saying a team will “continue to investigate the situation and will update news outlets and players if we find anything to prove otherwise....

Last month Team Fortress 2 allowed gamers to purchase in-game items via their “Mann-Conomy” update. As part of this update five Steam community members where chosen to create items for purchase through the peer-to-peer marketplace. Today those individuals got their paychecks for the first two weeks of the Mann-Conomy. Community content creators Rob Laro, Shawn Spetch, Steven Skidmore, Spencer Kern, and Shaylyn Hamm each received payment on royalties that range from $39,000 to $47,000....

Last week was a mixed bag for the Temtem Weekly Reset with plenty of players moaning about the Saipark. But this week is one of the best ones yet if you’re a Luma hunter.

As for the Saipark, you have an increased chance of encountering a Luma Mushi and Adoroboros....

Inflexion Games, the studio founded by former BioWare boss Aaryn Flynn, has been sold to Chinese conglomerate Tencent. Flynn’s new outfit is currently making Nightingale, a Victoriana-inspired fantasy survival crafting game which it revealed late last year. Development will now continue, though changes have been made as Inflexion is no longer part of Improbable, the company behind the rather vaguely-defined cloud computing tech SpatialOS. Last month, Improbable announced it was effectively doing a Google Stadia, and quitting internal game development....

The Labor of Love update for Terraria is now live and includes a tonne of new features and improvements. That includes a new World Seed that turns the world upside down, with players tackling magnifying threats until they reach the Surface. There’s also a World Seed that mashes all the others together. The update is free and includes plenty of bug fixes and small improvements, like tweaks to the void bag, rope interaction, health bars, and more....

Boss fights are meant to be a test of the skills you acquired over the course of the game. Every fight is meant to prepare you for the ultimate challenge awaiting you via bosses. But sometimes game developers get a little gung-ho about making these moments so challenging they just become annoying. Boss fights are meant to take longer than fighting a standard enemy, but the ones on this list take the cake by being excruciatingly long battles of attrition....

Dragons have improbably invaded Elder Scrolls Online this year in Season of the Dragon, a year-long, four-update story event that includes the Elsweyr chapter, out on June 4th for PC, Xbox One, and PS4. The “improbable” bit comes from the fact that ESO takes place during Tamriel’s second era, which until now was believed to be a dragon-less time period according to the universe’s lore. Over the course of 2019, the mystery behind the dragons’ unexpected presence in the Khajiit’s desert homeland will be revealed, though canonical exposition will likely be the farthest thing from players’ minds when they come face to face with the massive, scaled beasts....

This The Flash review contains spoilers. The Flash Season 6 Episode 19 For an episode that wasn’t supposed to be The Flash season 6 finale, I’ve gotta say, “Success is Assured” absolutely managed to look and feel big enough (and surprisingly mostly satisfying enough) to work as one. I never would have seen this coming. But maybe I should have. After all, this season has spent almost all its time breaking rules....
