Yet, the trilogy concept is not frequently evoked, seeing as the Wall-Crawler has enjoyed a significant presence outside of the solo films. Indeed, in the eyes of many, Holland’s Spider-Man is still the celebrated figure conjured by the grand multi-studio deal that finally brought the Sony-held Marvel mascot into the MCU with a spectacular, shield-stealing debut in 2016’s Captain America: Civil War. Moreover, his pre-dusting throes in 2018’s Avengers: Infinity War stands as one of the comic book movie genre’s most heartbreaking moments, and his return, by way of an abrupt stuck landing, in 2019’s Avengers: Endgame was one of the biggest audience applause moments from what ultimately became the highest-grossing film of all time....

This Star Wars: The Mandalorian article contains spoilers. Now that the smoke has cleared and all those dark troopers have felt the heat from Luke’s green blade, we can finally reflect on the legendary Jedi’s debut on The Mandalorian. As exciting as the finale’s biggest moment was, Luke’s cameo proved to be a divisive one among Star Wars fans despite it hardly being all that surprising. Some fans felt that the cameo was designed to appease toxic fans still angry over the character’s portrayal in The Last Jedi, a move some said resembled the “over correction” in The Rise of Skywalker....

We’ve now moved from the hype part of a Nintendo Direct to the post-Direct questioning. Things like “How can a Skyward Sword port be $60?”, “Will Fall Guys still be relevant in the summer?”, and the never-ending “Where’s Metroid?” are on fan’s minds and their Twitter timelines. A lot of questions swirl around Pyra and Mythra, the newly-announced DLC Smash Bros. fighters from Xenoblade Chronicles 2. In particular, how many amiibo are we getting?...

Xbox Game Pass for PC has quickly risen up among the throngs of game subscriptions and established itself as a must-have service. The number of high profile games titles Microsoft has added, especially in the last few weeks, is practically beyond compare. For the price, Game Pass for PC is the best deal out there. The Furthest $5 Has Ever Gone Netflix opened the Pandora’s Box of subscription services years ago, but it’s taken game publishers quite a while to catch up....

If there is one feature that will define the next-generation of console gaming it’s likely the DVR or game-sharing features. Both the PS4 and the Xbox One offer those features, although there are some differences in how each console implements them. The Xbox One, for example, apparently does not allow DVR or game-sharing functionality to Xbox Live Silver members, but is instead keeping the feature behind the Xbox Live Gold pay wall....

It is without a doubt that the PlayStation 5’s DualSense controller is the biggest design change for Sony controllers since the original DualShock. Those that have been lucky enough to purchase a PS5 have a lot of positive things to say about the DualSense, from gamers to industry members. Even Head of Xbox Phil Spencer is a fan of the new controller. In an interview with The Verge, Spencer covered a wide range of topics from Microsoft’s hesitation with the Xbox Series S to his thoughts on the PS5....

Thursday afternoon Microsoft posted a blog in which it explained in detail its plans for Xbox Series X backward compatibility. Its been long known that the Xbox Series X would run a large amount of Xbox One games, but the full extent of those plans wasn’t confirmed. It’s now official that the Xbox Series X Microsoft is aiming to support all Xbox One games on the Xbox Series X, though there is one notable exception to the rule....

From Feral Interactive, the same company that ported Tropico and Company of Heroes to iOS, comes their latest porting project. XCOM 2 Collection includes all previously released DLC And the War of the Chosen expansion pack, and it’s now coming to an iPhone near you. The biggest difference between the regular XCOM 2 experience and the mobile port is the adapted touchscreen UI that allows it to be played without a controller or other input device....

Mortal Kombat X, the 10th main installment in the iconic fighting franchise hits consoles April 14. Developer NetherRealm Studios has been hyping the game up on its social media and Twitch accounts for months now, and plenty of long time MK fans appear to be taking note. Will MK X and its roster of 29 characters be able to take advantage of the power of the latest consoles to create the best Mortal Kombat ever?...

For the past several years now, it appears that Resident Evil remakes are remaking Capcom itself especially now after the successful release of Resident Evil 2 last year and Resident Evil 3 just a few weeks ago. For quite some time after the launch of Resident Evil 3 remake, the plans of Capcom for the Resident Evil franchise remained unclear until a a new report shocked the online community when it revealed that the studio is reportedly working on a remake of 2005’s Resident Evil 4....

After a very busy GO Fest 2020 event, Pokemon GO trainers around the world managed to unlock all of the exciting Ultra Reward bonuses that were up for grabs. Things kicked off nearly a week ago with the start of Dragon Week and players have already had six days to race through the Timed Research, raid against Rayquaza, and try to hatch as many eggs as possible. All good things must come to an end though and it’s almost time to move on to the next bonus event....

Dragon Age 4 is currently in development at BioWare and will very likely continue the story of Thedas as the Dread Wolf attempts to bring down the Veil between the world and the Fade. Of course, it all began when the series launched with the critical success of Dragon Age: Origins back in 2009. However, BioWare’s iconic RPG structure faces a particular problem when it comes to writing sequels, a problem which is compounded as more sequels are released....

When Sony decided to go into the console market a lot of people wondered just what they would come up with. After all, a few short years earlier they were working side by side with Nintendo and now there were rumblings that the deal had fell through and the company was making their own console. When they revealed the PlayStation to the world it changed the gaming industry forever. It started a battle between Nintendo and Sony that still rages on to this day and brought in new players like Microsoft who hoped to make as big a splash into the console market themselves....

World of Warcraft is a game of ebbs and flows. The longevity of the MMORPG alone has made it so that its player base numbers often fluctuate, with a number of veterans returning for a few months at the beginning of each new expansion before taking a long break until the next one due to real life demands. While it feels like World of Warcraft: Legion launched relatively recently, in actuality the expansion has been out for over a year already, and it now seems that Blizzard is already preparing World of Warcraft’s next expansion....

June’s Xbox Game Pass update is shaping up to be one of the best months for the service yet. While there is a fine selection of other games being added in the coming weeks, the biggest has to be the addition of Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 + 2.5 ReMIX and Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue on the console side of things (sorry PC fans). The two bundles make up a whopping nine games, but their inclusion will make the entire Kingdom Hearts series available to subscribers....

Take this next bit of news with a grain of salt, but it seems like Yakuza: Like a Dragon is heading to PC in the future. A recent database entry on SteamDB shows a listing for the JRPG installment of Sega’s wacky Japan simulator. There’s no information about when it will release or if this is only a test, but it seems to confirm the game is heading to Valve’s digital distribution platform....

Yakuza is one of those series I came inexplicably late to. Despite knowing for years that it would be up my street, I didn’t download my first Yakuza game until November 2020, at which point I decided to finally prowl the streets of Kamurocho as Kazuma Kiryu in Yakuza 0. Since then, I’ve slowly but surely been making my way through each game - I’m on Kiwami 2 at the moment - and despite the fact I reckon the combat is rubbish, Yakuza has quickly become one of my favourite series....

Yoshi’s Crafted World was one of the few big Nintendo titles that were due to be released before the summer and many pundits wrote it off as a filler product until games like Animal Crossing and Pokémon Sword & Shield arrive. It seems that people were underestimating Mario’s trusty steed, as Yoshi’s Crafted World debuted at number one on the UK sales charts, beating out Tom Clancy’s The Division 2 by a very thin margin....

This Young Justice: Phantoms review contains spoilers. Young Justice: Phantoms Season 4 Episode 24 It’s not possible for the Young Justice: Phantoms team to be reading what’s published on this little ol’ site and responding to it in almost real time. The lead time on animation is usually massive: what we see on HBO Max was probably written a year or more ago. That said, it certainly feels like the writers were thinking the same thing I was after last week: holy cats there’s a lot left to do....
