When gamers talk of roleplaying games, Dungeons & Dragons becomes one of the first to cross their minds. After all, what better way to choose an RPG if not from the perspective of Wizards of the Coast’s acclaimed TTRPG? And thanks to D&D’s alignment system, Player Characters become fleshed out and “alive” in any table’s campaign setting. However, sometimes these “alignment choices” also extend outside the D&D session. In the case of actual RPG titles, what are some recommended titles based on D&D alignments?...

This article contains spoilers for Marvel’s What If…? episode 1. Some big MCU actors have returned to lend their voices to Marvel Studios’ first animated project, What If…?, but before the show started streaming on Disney+ it became clear that not all the major players were up for being in the mix. Chris Evans, who left Steve Rogers/Captain America behind after Avengers: Endgame, did not reprise his iconic role in the new show, so the creators looked to established voice actor Josh Keaton to take up the mantle in the multiverse-busting season premiere, ‘What If…Captain Carter Were The First Avenger?...

Several days ago, a rumor from an established leaker claimed that Cyberpunk 2077 will once again be delayed and will instead release in 2021 as opposed to its scheduled launch date of December 10, 2020. It is worth noting that Cyberpunk 2077 has been delayed a total of three times before the studio settled on the late 2020 launch date. After the rumor made the rounds online, developer CD Projekt Red released a statement saying that Cyberpunk 2077 will release as scheduled....

Yes, I said it. There has been a general consensus that Dark Souls is the (or one of the) most difficult modern video games. I am here to tell you that if you have not yet tried out Darkest Dungeon, you are missing out on an excruciating, rage-inducing experience that gives Dark Souls a serious run for its money. Now, don’t get me wrong, I am well aware that these are two drastically different types of games....

When the question of “who is the best director alive right now?” gets asked, the same names are often put forward – Martin Scorsese, Quentin Tarantino, the Cohen Brothers, etc.. These individuals are seen as the best of the best, as the most talented directors working at the moment. Interestingly, though, apart from being white and male, what do these names all have in common? None of them have ever worked in animation....

Armie Hammer has a succinct answer when asked how it feels for him and Lily James to play the same roles in the new version of Rebecca that were once played by legendary actors Laurence Olivier and Joan Fontaine: “Well, they’re both dead, what are they gonna say?” Hammer (Call Me by Your Name) is joking of course, and he acknowledges working under the shadow of both the 1940 film directed by Alfred Hitchcock and the classic 1938 Gothic novel by Daphne du Maurier....

While to many Americans it may seem like Squid Game came out of nowhere to dominate more than 90 countries, for the millions of people worldwide who watch South Korean television and movies, it’s another stellar entry in an ever-growing field.

The Elder Scrolls 6 is rumored to be set in the provinces of High Rock, home of the Bretons; Hammerfell, home of the Redguards; and the once-thought lost continent of Yokuda, where the Redguards originated.

This article contains Tom Clancy’s Without Remorse spoilers. You can find our spoiler-free review here. “Her name was Pam, and [I swore] you’re going to say it before you die.” And so Clay did in his final moments after John drove the secretary’s vehicle off a D.C. bridge and into the cold waters below, drowning the old man and making it look like a suicide. It’s a relatively downbeat climax to a movie that’s featured high octane shootouts, fisticuffs, and one gnarly torture sequence in a burning car....

With the move to an RPG format came many changes, most notably when it comes to battle, but there are other additions too....

Factorio. You should have at least heard of it by now, even if you don’t really know what the dealio is with it. If you’re anything like me (or most other people on the planet apparently), you will have heard of it but probably not understood why people have labelled it as one of the single most addictive games ever.
