A Twitch streamer accidentally insults the world-record-holding speedrunner for Streets of Rage 2 and instantly regrets it. It used to be that the speedrunning community was a relatively small one, so world-record-holding players would often rub virtual shoulders in various streamer’s Twitch chats. That doesn’t happen nearly as often these days, but from time to time you can still catch one of these incredible players offering advice to novice speedrunners....

Niantic has officially announced the Community Day Pokémon for January 19, 2020. Surprise, it’s Piplup. The beloved fourth generation penguin Pokémon was all but expected by fans of Pokémon GO, but that doesn’t make its arrival any less exciting. Neither does the fact that it will bring with it a bonus to egg hatching speed. It might be too cold to walk in certain areas, but that also makes it the perfect time to hunt penguins (fake ones, of course)....

The upcoming Super Mario Bros. movie has been delayed, and will now launch in cinemas next April. Mario creator Shigeru Miyamoto himself announced the holdup this morning, via Nintendo’s Twitter account. The film’s new launch dates are 7th April (in North America) and 28th April (in Japan). “This is Miyamoto,” Miyamoto wrote. “After consulting with Chris-san, [Minions producer Chris Meledandri] my partner at Illumination on the Super Mario Bros. film, we decided to move the global release to Spring 2023 – 28th April in Japan and 7th April in North America....

Tekken 7 has shipped over 5 million copies as of last December, according to a new sales report. The long running fighting franchise continues to be a strong seller almost five years after its initial release, thanks to a dedicated following of casual and competitive players. Katsuhiro Harada, the producer of the franchise, took to Twitter to celebrate the milestone as the game looks to be as popular as ever....

Final Fantasy VIII has always been the black sheep of the family. Fans of the franchise (and of the genre) are never quite sure how they feel about it. It’s always a gamble to try new things particularly in this industry, and VIII just feels completely unlike most series entries. The controversial Junctioning System is enough of a departure, but how about those Summons? For one thing, they’re called Guardian Forces here, and they’re more like equipment for your characters than summoning spells; gaining their own experience and learning new skills to kit out your characters with....

A router is one of the most important devices in your home if you want to have a fast and reliable internet connection. But with so many different routers on the market, it can be hard to know which one to choose—especially if you’re on a budget. That’s why we’ve put together this list of the five best routers under $100. Whether you’re looking for something simple or feature-packed, we’ve got you covered....

The launch of Call of Duty: Vanguard Season One saw the roll out of Warzone Pacific and the new Caldera map, bringing along more weapons. The BAR assault rifle is a powerful choice and with the best attachments equipped, you can create a class that will take out opponents in just a few shots in Warzone Pacific. Although the BAR has a slow fire rate, the bullets can deal some serious damage....

Between access to some of the best mana acceleration in the entirety of Magic: The Gathering, card drawing capabilities, and a huge slew of late-game threats, it’s no surprise that mono-green decks can be quite scary in the Commander format. Green is a very multifaceted color that is capable of numerous strategies, and has a plentitude of relevant and potent commanders that players can choose to run at the helm of their commander decks....

Counterpart With the glossy sci-fi series Counterpart, you get two J. K. Simmons for the price of one. The Oscar-winning Whiplash star plays dual roles: one is a United Nations pencil-pusher working on a top secret project in Berlin, and the other is a daring field agent from a parallel world. These universes collide with drastic consequences across ten episodes in Counterpart season one, which is available to stream through STARZPLAY now....

Shakespearean Transformer Olivier Megaton is back with a brand new actioner. The Versailles-born director of Taken 2 and Taken 3 will bring his latest cars-and-shooting movie to Netflix in June, and the streaming service has just released a first trailer for it. The Last Days of American Crime is based on the 2009 Rick Remender and Greg Tocchini graphic novel, and has been adapted for the screen by Oblivion scribe Karl Gajdusek....

Despite a series of delays, hype for The Last of Us 2 is still at an all-time high. The game launches towards the end of May and fans have a handful of cinematic trailers and gameplay reveals to study and analyze until they can get their hands on it themselves. Although there was a demo available at PAX East, many details about the game’s story are still shrouded in mystery - including which characters will be returning....

The highly anticipated The Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild took everyone’s breath away when it was released in 2017. The game was the ultimate test of Nintendo’s gaming prowess, and they managed to pass with flying colors. Everything present in the title was nothing short of amazing — whether it be the gameplay, open world, combat, or anything else along the same lines. The sheer possibilities opened up by this title for modern video games is nothing short of immense, with everyone wondering just how Nintendo will top this experience with Breath Of The Wild 2....

You thought it was going to be another Fortnite clone, but it was me, Dio! That could very well be what JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure fans say when a new video game based on the anime hits arcades this summer. Because it turns out that the new JoJo game is a battle royale. It sounds like a bizarre combination, but then again JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure is a bizarre anime. It originates from the Shonen Jump brand, the same publisher that puts out Naruto and Dragon Ball Z....

Remember The Order: 1886, Ready at Dawn’s ambitious yet ultimately flawed PlayStation 4-exclusive action game? Well, it’s now four-years-old, and to celebrate its creator has released a bunch of new behind-the-scenes videos for you to gawk at. The Order sadly didn’t live up to the hype back when it arrived in early 2015, but there’s no doubt that it was at the time one of the best-looking console games money could buy....

In a message to fans, Obsidian Entertainment revealed that story content is coming next year to The Outer Worlds. It was a thank you message of sorts, regarding all those who voted for the game for The Game Awards 2019. The Outer Worlds was up for several nominations, ranging from Best Narrative to Game of the Year. It didn’t win in any category, however. Disco Elysium took Best Narrative, while Game of the Year was handed off to Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice....

Chances are if you grew up in the 90s you’ll remember the Power Rangers. For me, they were the only thing that made school mornings remotely bearable. Billy was my favourite, because like him, I was a bit of nerd and had no luck with girls (at least one of those things are still true). My point? Well, thanks to a new mod by Jazneo, you can now play as some of the most iconic Power Rangers in Square Enix’s epic bromance roadtrip-’em-up, Final Fantasy XV....

Supermassive Games and 2K have teased The Quarry, a new horror game coming this Summer. Most of the details of the new game are being kept under wraps for now. That’s because a full reveal event will be coming tomorrow at 4PM UK time. What we do know is that the game will be a separate project from The Dark Pictures Anthology series, as it’ll be published by 2K Games....

If you can believe it, the inclusion of ladders in The Sims 4 was near the top of the community’s collective wish list for quite some time. With the release of the Eco Living expansion pack across all platforms in June 2020, that wish was granted - and now, The Sims 4 officially has ladders. Even better, a limited but still fully functional selection of ladders has been made available to everyone who owns the base game, via the free update Patch 95....

There aren’t many games like Disco Elysium. The game places players in the shoes of an amnesiac detective, and they control just about every part of him. In addition to his actions, players control his psyche, his receptiveness to stimuli, and his ideology. It’s a beautifully written game that explores intense subjects while staying interesting the whole time. Now there seems to be something new for Disco Elysium on the horizon, or at least, its developer Studio ZAUM is teasing something....
