Every month, Xbox Live rewards its Gold Subscribers with free game downloads. This includes both big names, and few nearly forgotten titles, such as 2003’s original Xbox game, Indiana Jones and the Emperor’s Tomb. Despite its age, Xbox fans seem to be having a good time with the Indiana Jones game. And according to fans, the game is not only fun but looks great on modern consoles. Reddit user Markoss365 posts several screenshots on the Xbox One Subreddit, praising the game’s graphics....

Don’t expect to see Xbox Series X consoles filling up store shelves until at least June, according to a new statement from Microsoft’s head of investor relations, Mike Spencer. Multiple factors are responsible for the shortage, although it’s primarily driven by pandemic-relation supply chain issues. Since launching last year, getting your hands on a Series X hasn’t been easy. Not only have scalpers been snatching up online inventory as soon as it’s available, but manufacturers themselves can’t keep up with demand....

International law and its applications on human trafficking aren’t really the kinds of things you’d expect an animated superhero show to tackle, but the Young Justice team left the story pointing in that direction when the show was canceled in 2013, and when they got picked back up three years later and started writing for Young Justice season 3, they didn’t want to miss a beat. Plus, said producer Greg Weisman, “…we don’t have Cartoon Network standards & practices to worry about this season....

This Young Justice: Phantoms review contains spoilers. Young Justice Season 4 Episodes 1 and 2 Jeez, it’s been a long time. Young Justice: Phantoms picks up essentially where Outsiders left off, but it’s been a little over two years since the last episode came out, and…uh…a lot has happened since then. You know. Out there. So it was a little jarring to be dropped in the same spot as if no time had passed....

Official Pokemon cartridges for the Nintendo DS have been shown to the public by YouTube channel The Retro Future. As Nintendo never intended for these cartridges to be made publicly available, they provide an interesting behind-the-scenes look at a key aspect of completing the Pokedex. Ever since the beginning of the Pokemon series, Pokedex completionists have needed to interact with other players in order to catch every Pokemon. By trading with fellow players, fans could come close to completion; however, each game also includes one or more secret Pokemon, such as Mew, that could never normally appear....

When longstanding id Software figurehead John Carmack announced he would take on the role of Chief Technology Officer for Oculus Rift alongside his normal duties at the Doom developer most figured Carmack was putting one foot out the door. And so, when Carmack revealed he had left id for a full-time position at Oculus few were surprised. However, although we knew at the time how invested Carmack was in VR and the Oculus Rift, a reason was never given for his id Software departure....

With their acquisition of ZeniMax Studios finally complete, Microsoft is poised to challenge Sony’s recent reign of exclusivity dominance by potentially making the next generation of Bethesda releases exclusive to Game Pass platforms. For the moment, though, the biggest benefit of this acquisition is undoubtedly the ability to access a good portion of Bethesda’s library of classic games via Game Pass. While most of the Bethesda games recently added to Game Pass are worth playing for one reason or another, few are more intriguing than The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion....

Ask many gamers about their memories of the PlayStation 2, and you’ll likely hear them gush about the best-selling console’s many great games, incredible controller, and revolutionary multimedia features. Ask a developer about their memories of the PlayStation 2, and you might just hear a war story about how incredibly difficult it was to get any of those great games to run on the console in the first place. It’s easy to forget now in the aftermath of its historic success, but there was a time when the PlayStation 2’s notoriously complicated architecture made it a nightmare to work with....

Is there anything more frustrating than finally getting great at something, only to realize that you can never reach the top because you just aren’t operating with the same material as the ones beating you? This is often how console gamers are left feeling after online matches in a variety of games. Some console gamers even go as far as calling PC gamers “cheaters” for using the PC, but that’s a bit over-the-top....

Elf is undoubtedly a Christmas classic, destined to be played in the holiday months on every channel available until holiday months no longer exist. A hilarious and heartwarming film staring Will Ferrell as the lovable but obnoxious ‘Buddy,’ the film over-performed at the box office and rumors of a sequel have sprung up from time to time, but nothing ever materialized. A recent interview with James Caan, who played the curmudgeonly book publisher and Buddy’s biological father Walter, may shed a little light on why the property never got a second shot at the big screen....

This post contains spoilers for Thor: Love and Thunder Whatever your feelings about Thor: Love and Thunder, no one can deny that Natalie Portman’s performance as Dr. Jane Foster aka the Mighty Thor lights up the screen like a flash of lightning. After an absence of nine years, Portman returns to the MCU with an energy and lightness not always seen by the cerebral actor. With a meaty role that lets her play both the cancer-stricken Foster and the Mjolnir-wielding Mighty Thor, Portman goes all-in with the performance, adding vibrancy to a movie that sometimes feels like a retread of its predecessor....

Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers will be able to stream over 100 games starting tomorrow when the service launches on Android devices.

There’s an old saying that goes, “What’s good for the goose is good for the gander.” While we gamers don’t typically deal with geese (goats are another story), the saying has weight because it ultimately means that the success of one individual entity typically ends up benefiting the entire company/organization/business. To think of it another way, what’s good for one gamer is good for all gamers. So while we may cover the ongoing console war(s) between Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft, the fact of the matter is if any of these companies find success that’s good for the games industry as a whole....
