World of Warcraft players may be finding themselves in a bit of a lull as the Battle for Azeroth era begins to come to a close. Although the latest expansion started off with a bang, the endgame grind of unlocking additional allied races and leveling up the Legendary Cloak has been stretching out for quite a while. That isn’t uncommon for the end of an expansion era though and the next age of WoW begins with Shadowlands later this year (hopefully)....

One of E3’s hidden gems was Genshin Impact, an open-world action game heavily inspired by The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Genshin Impact’s visuals were so similar to Breath of the Wild that it even received criticism for poaching the Nintendo game’s style.

Is the truth still out there? Do we still want to believe in 2022? Yes, says one pop culture fandom in particular, who even after facing many disappointments with the recent revival series, continue to clamor for more seasons of The X-Files. Creator Chris Carter may have wrapped up the four-part “My Struggle” saga that bookended seasons 10 and 11 but many folks still want more Fox Mulder and Dana Scully....

MGM has something of a problem on its hands. If it wants to continue making James Bond films, it is going to have to replace its leading man, Daniel Craig. Craig has made no secret of the fact that after fifteen years, and five movies playing the fictional superspy (including No Time to Die), he is done with the role. It’s entirely possible that MGM might be able to tempt the actor back for another showing, but eventually they will have to cast someone new to take over the franchise....

The Commonwealth also contains several large settlements, only expanded by the Far Harbor and Nuka-World DLC. Not every location is marked on your map. One of the best features of the Fallout series is that there are several unmarked areas to discover....

And she is set to return in Halo Infinite based on how the story was left at the end of Halo 5: Guardians.

World of Warcraft is undoubtedly one of the most influential PC games to date. The massively popular title has been redefining the MMORPG genre since its release in 2004, and still boasts millions of players today.

Over the past few years, Microsoft has done its best to appeal to fans following the rough launch of the Xbox One. Part of this dedication to being more fan-friendly involved the company doing anyway with the short life-span of the Kinect, while pushing for more customizable options for traditional controllers through the Xbox Design Lab.
