The Yakuza series is renowned for its engaging story, wackiness, variety, and over-the-top combat, and Yakuza: Like a Dragon delivers on almost every aspect. Game Rant got a chance to play a few hours of the game’s preview build, which starts off in Chapter 5, roughly 6 hours into the normal play time of the game. Starting a decent chunk through the game, it became clear that this Yakuza changes up the combat system, but still delivers as many intense story twists and hilarious side-mission diversions as are expected of a Yakuza title....
There’s no such things as a quiet day on Yellowstone – but as we head into season 5, there’s nothing short of all out war brewing between the battling Dutton family members. It’s just a case of whether everyone is going to make it out of their latest squabbles alive. Jamie Dutton, played by Wes Bentley, went through the wringer by the end of season 4, with a revenge mission set by adopted sister Beth (Kelly Reilly) resulting in him shooting his biological father Garrett (Will Patton) in the head....

This Young Justice review contains spoilers. Young Justice Season 3 Episode 3 There are two moments in “Eminent Threat” that made me step back in awe of how well the creative team behind Young Justice knows their subjects and how good they are at storytelling. One is a tiny flourish, an attention to detail that I only caught my second time through, and the other is a very subtle character beat that shows how well they understand their own continuity and the story I think they’re trying to tell....
A heated confrontation between YouTubers Steven “Boogie2988” Williams and Frank Hassle seemingly came to a head after Hassle showed up at Williams’ house, resulting in Williams firing a “warning shot” at Hassle, according to images, audio, and footage of the incident now being circulated online. The incident follows a harassment campaign perpetrated by Hassle against Williams, culminating with Hassle arriving at his Williams’ home. Recordings from the incident show Hassle arriving at Williams’ doorstep, during which the two exchange a heated argument....

This isn’t the first time Mario has gone to outer space in the series, but being in space has never felt more real....
Attack on Titan (Shingeki No Kyojin), like it or loathe it, is one of the biggest anime and manga franchises in the world right now, and absolutely everyone wants a piece of it, and for good reason. The series edged us for years and made us desperate to know more about the reality behind the titans, and now that we know, things are truly starting to heat up. If you, like me, are watching Attack on Titan every single week then you need to know what time Attack on Titan airs on Crunchyroll in your region....
Now that 2021 is here, players are probably wondering what’s in store for Fortnite in the coming year. As far as content goes, Epic Games is still focused on Fortnite Chapter 2, Season 5, which is filled with all sorts of crossovers from shows like The Mandalorian and The Walking Dead, alongside other video game franchises such as Halo and God of War. However, Epic Games likely has a lot in store for Fortnite this year, and players should expect more content updates and even more crossover from other popular media....
It was the twilight of the 1970s when the first Xenomorph baby would launch itself from the chest of a USCSS crewman, setting off a franchise that has scared and enthralled more than one generation over the last 42 years. In that time, the Alien universe has taken many forms. What started as a single movie has become a phenomenon that has transformed into toys, video games, and books as the universe continues to evolve....
Over 30 days have elapsed since The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim’s first DLC add-on, Dawnguard, released to Xbox 360 owners over Xbox Live on June 26th for 1600 Microsoft points. It was over this month-long window - a buffer period, of sorts - that Bethesda and Microsoft had arranged to keep Dawnguard an Xbox 360 exclusive; a release for the PC and PS3, or at the very least an announcement, was widely expected to arrive in late-July when the time expired....
The gaming keyboard space is a crowded market filled with same-y products that all promise the fastest click rate and the widest range of colors you’ve ever seen. The Element keyboard from Whirlwind FX is different. Whirlwind has developed a way to read in-game information and translate it to the keyboard. This isn’t anything like typical game integration either, because the Element doesn’t rely on access to developer files or complex programming to do what it does....
In an interview earlier this week, WarnerMedia Studios CEO Ann Sarnoff stated definitively that the studio “won’t be developing David Ayer’s cut” of Suicide Squad, the DC-based movie that Ayer directed and that was heavily retooled in post-production before its 2016 release. While rumors and speculation about an “Ayer Cut” of the film–which was trashed by critics (and some fans) even as it climbed to an astonishing $747 million box office gross worldwide–have been around almost since the film came out, a nascent campaign to release Ayer’s original version of the film started in earnest last year following the news that Zack Snyder’s Justice League would be coming to HBO Max....
Back in the early days of the Justice League movie marketing (and when I say this I refer to the time before we had even seen a trailer for the film, and long before director Zack Snyder had been replaced by Joss Whedon, and even longer before any of us thought there would be a groundswell of support for a “Snyder cut” let alone enough to make it a reality) there was a phrase that piqued the curiosity of DC fans: “Unite the Seven....
Even though there will be no WWE 2K21, WWE fans can still expect a new WWE video game to release this year. 2K has confirmed the WWE 2K Battlegrounds release date to be September 18 with an action-packed new trailer that shows off gameplay as well as reveals plenty of new wrestlers for the roster. When WWE 2K Battlegrounds was originally announced, it only confirmed Becky Lynch, Charlotte Flair, John Cena, The Rock, and “Stone Cold” Steve Austin for the roster....
Much has been made of the Xbox One’s gameplay recording features, and how it could make recording personalized gameplay videos that much easier. Simply by hitting a button, gamers could have access to a full suite of video recording and editing tools that typically cost several hundred dollars. Plan and simple: the feature could be a game-changer for a lot of people. As it turns out, however, gameplay recording on the Xbox One might not be as useful as was originally thought....
