Nightdive Studios’ remake of System Shock has some ways to go yet, but you can download a playable demo on Steam and GOG right now. Fans of the classic game can get a glimpse at how Nightdive Studios is handling the remaster. New demo Gamers last had a chance to get a first-hand look at System Shock during The Game Awards 2019. However, this time around, players will have access to all of the unlockable weapons while they navigate the Medical Bay of Citadel Station....

A new study posted in the Journal of the American Heart Association concluded that Pokémon Go is good for your health. Specifically, it significantly increased the physical activity of the players. Pokémon Go is an augmented reality game that is available for Android and iOS mobile devices (tablets and phones). The game initially launched on July 6th, 2016 in a few countries, but is now available all around the world. It was insanely popular at the time and brought in a host of new and old Pokémon fans....

This Succession review contains spoilers. Succession Season 2 Episode 9 While last week’s “Dundee” took a far more fast-and-loose approach to Succession’s typical episode model (complete with a fawning “L to the OG” rap), the second season’s penultimate episode adopts a far darker, more sinister tone. There are plenty of examples to flesh out, but the most immediate one is the cold open, during which the Roys and their confidants watch a Waystar Royco whistleblower’s exclusive interview on a 60 Minutes-esque news program....

Nintendo has unleashed some new Super Mario Odyssey screenshots on the game’s official Japanese Twitter account. They show the Luncheon Kingdom area, with Mario in action. In the first screenshot we see Mario in his chef’s costume, which we would assume grants him access to certain areas along with unique abilities. Interestingly, the other screenshot appears to show the game has at least one section which is an 8-bit styled platforming section....

Some single-player Super Mario Odyssey gameplay was shown off during Nintendo’s E3 Spotlight presentation, but during a behind-closed-doors meeting, the game’s producer Yoshiaki Koizumi was asked about multiplayer and gave an interesting answer. ‘Well, the first thing I would want to say about multiplayer is that since this is the Nintendo Switch, and it does have two controllers, it’s very easy for you to imagine handing one to another person, so there’s probably something that you will hear about multiplayer....

Team Meat has announced that it has booted Super Meat Boy Forever out of its April launch window. Speaking on Twitter, the studio confirmed that while Super Meat Boy Forever has been delayed, it’ll still arrive ‘after but not too far after April 2019.’ That doesn’t sound too bad, right? ‘We’ve been knocking out the last bits of Super Meat Boy Forever at record speeds while keeping a healthy and sustainable pace,’ the statement reads....

This Supergirl review contains spoilers. Supergirl Season 4 Episode 1 Supergirl season 4 opens with a great episode that encapsulates so much of what the show does best that’s both solid in its own right and sows the seeds of a season’s worth of conflict. Lynda Carter’s return pays off a bread crumb dropped back in season 2 episode 3, “Welcome to Earth”, and the episode introduces villain Liberty, the country of Kasnia, and cub reporter/soon-to-be-hero Nia....

This Supernatural review contains spoilers. Supernatural Season 15 Episode 12 Chuck opens this episode of Supernatural by monologuing, and frankly complaining, to Radio Shed guy in an alternate universe where we have President Hillary Clinton. This little mention is a quick way for the viewer to get on board with the alternate universe situation while showing a believable world like ours — not some spooky hellscape, but a world we could conceivably care about....

As is ritual, Grand Theft Auto Online is holding a special event this week, having started on February 20, that will be particularly beneficial to players of the game’s “Survival” mode. Meanwhile, Southern San Andreas Super Autos is now selling the Dinka Blista Kanjo Compact, which offers a quality ride given its seller and description as a “top performer in its 90s glory days” on the event’s page on Rockstar’s Social Club....

Have you ever wanted to roam the countryside of say, I don’t know, 1980s Sweden? Perhaps in an alternate timeline where said country was rampant with giant construction themed murder-bots, which you would have to fight? Well, if you are someone who wanted that, first of all, wow, what a specific thing to desire. Secondly, you’re in luck! The company behind both Mad Max and Just Cause, Avalanche Studios, is working on a game just like that....

Playdead CEO Dino Patti has revealed that they, the company behind Limbo, are working on a new IP. The independent game studio based in Copenhagen, Denmark created a best-selling Xbox Live Arcade title that received critical acclaim from reviewers with Limbo. The award-winning minimalist platformer was compared favorably to such games as Braid, Portal, and Ico, to name a few. Patti promises that fans of Limbo will like their new work but leaves only a hint for what it may be about....

It is the pivotal moment of Teen Spirit, a new pop music coming-of-age fantasia, when Elle Fanning pick up the mic and begins to croon Ellie Goulding. Yet this type of musical expression is one the real-life actor can always recall chasing. And considering during our interview she remembers an audition from when she was four-years-old, that memory stretches pretty far back. It was during last month’s SXSW Film Festival when Fanning, as well as writer-director Max Minghella and executive producer Jamie Bell, reminisced about their musical pasts, plus their future with the impending release of Teen Spirit....

Undertale was an indie smash hit, a game that came out to rapturous review, critical acclaim and the love of video game players everywhere. It’s a game that asks players to think about their actions, consider the way that they’re interacting with the universe, and then changes what is happening in the story based on those actions. Anyone that has played it before will know that the gameplay is unlike pretty much anything that was seen before it, so we thought that we would go through ten of the best battles in Undertale!...

Remember when game demos were really prevalent? Well, with June’s Steam Next Fest now officially wrapped up, it feels good seeing them make such a grand return. What really wowed me about a lot of the titles on offer is that I had never heard of them beforehand, yet now I can say that I’m legitimately a fan. Right from the start, Steam’s Next Fest demos met one of its primary goals with me: increasing discoverability....

When it comes to a series spanning over 25 years, it’s an unfortunate truth we have to face: not all Pokémon moves are created equal. Whether designed for aesthetic purposes, created for early game only, or simply lacking in nuance, some moves do not have the wit or the power to hold up in battle, and should be forgotten as soon as possible. The overall usefulness of a move is easy to calculate when it comes to damage-dealing attacks, but the field becomes murkier when judging status moves, E....

Everyone knows the iconic theme tune to the Spider-Man animated series that ran from 1967-1970 on ABC, and then endlessly in syndication after that. You know the one I’m talking about. It has the lyrics that want you to know that the title character “does whatever a spider can” and that he “spins a web, any size” and “catches thieves, just like flies” thanks, of course, to his “radioactive blood.” The fact that they managed to get the words “radioactive blood” into a theme song will never not be amazing to me....

Narrative driven adventure The Artful Escape looks set to head to head for PlayStation, according to evidence found on the PlayStation Store. Australian outlet Well Played spotted a listing for the game on the PlayStation Store. The game originally launched on PC and Xbox back in September, while this listing says the PlayStation version is “coming soon”. However, publisher Annapurna Interactive is yet to make an official announcement to confirm or deny....

As a science student, it’s always been difficult to find fictional scientists who feel real. Most of the time, the scientists I see in films are wildly absurd – geniuses in not just their field but in everything, who know how to hack any server, recreate any molecule, identify any liquid, and calculate the angle of impact of any bomb. If people grow up only ever seeing scientists as being impossibly, unbelievably clever, then they are going to be discouraged from ever studying science themselves....
