In celebration of Mario’s 35th anniversary, Nintendo has placed Super Mario All-Stars in the Switch Online service. Of course, this isn’t just the same game on a new console, it’s been remastered to look its best on the Switch, which you can see in a new video comparing the game on different consoles. Nintendo is pulling out all the stops when it comes to Mario’s anniversary; and while the new Super Mario 3D All-Stars is leaving something to be desired, there is still a lot for fans of the franchise to be excited about....

These days, Ryan Reynolds can’t resist taking a shot at his second foray into superhero cinema, the ill-fated Green Lantern. But back in 2011, Reynolds was sincere in his love for Hal Jordan and the mythos behind DC Comics’s space cops, as demonstrated by a viral clip in which he recites the oath for a young fan. Sure, some of Reynolds’s signature snark made its way into the movie; wisecracks about purple aliens and glowing green costumes....

Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War still has yet to be properly revealed, and so fans aren’t quite sure what to expect from it. While nothing official about Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War has been announced by Activision, leakers have made some claims about the game that could give fans an idea of what the new game will entail. According to Tom Henderson, a frequent Call of Duty franchise leaker who has accurately leaked news in the past, Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War will not have its own, new battle royale mode....

Since Fallout 76 has multiplayer, some have been wondering if the game will include a battle royale mode, considering the genre’s current popularity. However, Bethesda has confirmed that not only will Fallout 76 not have a battle royale mode, but right now the company has no battle royale games in development at all....

There are several reasons to consider Batman & Robin a bad movie. It certainly possesses many flaws as a film. There is one category, however, where it succeeded beyond all expectations - as the best toy commercial ever made. Frequently ranked as one of the worst movies ever, Batman & Robin was neither a financial nor critical success when it was released in 1997. It nearly ruined the entire Batman cinema enterprise until Christopher Nolan took the reins in 2005 and rebooted the franchise with Batman Begins....

A couple of days ago, Turtle Rock Studios surprised everyone with the announcement of Back 4 Blood, a spiritual successor to Left 4 Dead that promises to move the co-op zombie shooter genre forward. While Back 4 Blood is clearly looking to fill the void left by the lack of Left 4 Dead 3, it remains to be seen just how similar it will be to the franchise that inspired it, and it’s unclear exactly which features will carry over....

While the Oculus Rift headset is certainly one of the more exciting advancements in video game technology, it’s also a very big risk. The idea of a 3D, virtual reality headset is a tough sell for the casual gamer, and one that only truly reveals its value after trying the Oculus out. But beyond all of that, the Oculus Rift’s potential success is wholly dependent on price. Price can mean several different things, most obviously the price of the Oculus Rift headset itself....

The World Health Organization (WHO) wants you to stay inside and play video games while the coronavirus pandemic persists. A little under a year ago, the group branded excessive gaming a disorder, but their stance appears to have shifted significantly given the COVID-19 threat and they’re encouraging folks to engage in gameplay as a means of coping with the outbreak. Activision Blizzard and Riot Games are among many international game development studios that have kickstarted an initiative called #PlayApartTogether as a means of promoting social distancing....

Legendary items have been part of the World of Warcraft experience since the MMO’s vanilla days, but Shadowlands will drastically change how you acquire some of the most desirable gear in the game. Shadowlands introduces a crafted legendries system that allows players to forge legendary items. While that means that you will no longer be entirely reliant on luck to get the legendary item you want most, actually crafting a legendary item will demand a lot of work, a lot of time, and…well…a little luck....

14 and a half years ago, the adventurers of Azeroth first banded together for the Ahn’Qiraj War Effort. This world event was the first one to involve whole servers and many veteran heroes still remember it fondly. But starting today with Phase 5 in World of Warcraft: Classic, players are able to relive the opening of the Gates of Ahn’Qiraj once again. Ahn’Qiraj was originally created to serve as the Old God C’Thun’s prison after he, Yogg-Saron, Y’Shaarj, and N’Zoth were defeated by the Titans....

Ramen VR recently showed off a bit of pre-alpha gameplay for its upcoming VR MMO, Zenith: The Last City. Much of what’s on display will look radically different at launch, but it gives a good sense of what you’ll experience if you make it into the alpha test next month. Let’s get the bad stuff out of the way first. Zenith lacks a proper UI, its ping seems to be a bit choppy, and its animations still need a lot of work....
