Assassin’s Creed is one of the best and most popular video game franchises out there right now. There are tons of games in the series with more on the way, and it can be daunting if you’re just now discovering the games. You don’t necessarily have to start at the beginning since there are multiple storylines and characters throughout. If you need help figuring out where to start, or you want to replay a game, you could consider playing a game best-suited to your astrological sign!...

For the first time in history, Warner Bros. Games was reportedly planning to hold its own E3 press conference this year where the entertainment company would unveil the long-rumored WB Games Montreal Batman game, the leaked Harry Potter RPG, and the next game from Rocksteady Studios, the creators of the Batman Arkham series. That was up until the ESA made the decision to cancel the annual video game conference due to health and safety concerns surrounding the Coronavirus pandemic....

Warning: This article contains MAJOR spoilers for the Doctor Who season 12 premiere. To categorize any good TV series simply as “dark” or “light” is to diminish the tonal complexity of its story. This can be especially true for a show like Doctor Who, which has a relatively flexible formula that allows it to explore different tones from episode to episode. But to tell a TV story in this age of binge-watching often necessitates having a serialized arc that lasts for at least a season, if not longer....

World of Warcraft has a legacy of change, but there is one constant truth that the community knows all too well: the pre-expansion content drought. Blizzard delayed the release date reveal for Shadowlands at the start of June, but more details should be coming next month. The only public statements from Blizzard so far put Shadowlands’ launch in the 4th quarter of 2020, but that still leaves players with three to five more months without new content....

Amongst the spellcasters of Blizzard’s hit Warcraft MMO, the Warlock has the potential to become the most versatile. After all, unlike the Arcane-focused Mage, the Fel-focused Warlock can tap into hexes, summon minions, and unleash a barrage of debilitating spells against their enemies. Moreover, their flexibility enables Warlocks to become effective single-target DPS allies, or AOE-specialized juggernauts. However, Warlocks in World of Warcraft seem to have more secrets than they reveal, even to their own players....

There’s no question about it: the double whammy of streaming and COVID has permanently changed the landscape of traditional moviegoing. The discovery by audiences that they could watch all kinds of original new movies at home, both during and after a vicious worldwide pandemic that closed down theater-going for the better part of two years, has left traditional cinema—and particularly independent films—in a precarious place. With few exceptions, audiences are only making the increasingly expensive trek to the movies (tickets, gas, parking, concessions, sometimes babysitters) for movies that are less films and more “experiences....

There are so many great characters to choose from in Apex Legends. Whether it be the defender style characters like Gibraltar or Caustic, fast and movement-based Legends like Octane or Pathfinder, or the tactical and unique Legends like Revenant or Bloodhound, there appears to be a character for everyone in Apex Legends. But Wraith is a whole different level. Recently Respawn Entertainment released some data on the most played characters in Apex Legends, and the results confirmed something that most fans already expected: Wraith is number one....

Xbox head honcho Phil Spencer reveals on Twitter that he is unsure as to whether the upcoming Project Scorpio Xbox console will make its appearance prior to E3 2017. It’s rare to see a mid-generation console update become such an interesting battleground, but that’s exactly what has happened between Sony and Microsoft. Although Sony’s PS4 Pro has made it to store shelves before Microsoft’s Project Scorpio, there is certainly a huge amount of excitement around the powerful Xbox console....

Good news for Xbox fans who want a little more bang for their buck, as Microsoft officially unveil the rumored Xbox One S: a sleeker, thinner Xbox with a 2TB HDD. Starting off their E3 conference strong, Microsoft have announced that the Xbox One will in fact be receiving an updated system, named the Xbox One S. The new Xbox One S will be a slimmer version of the Xbox One console, stacking up at 40% the size of the current, bulky model....

Metro Exodus is getting next-gen ports later this year, but future titles from 4A Games might be constrained due to the Xbox Series S GPU. In a recent interview, Oleksandr Shyshkovtsov, Chief Technical Officer at 4A Games, said that their renderer is already having trouble with Series S hardware, and his current workaround is less than ideal. 4A Games is known to push the envelope when it comes to graphics – look no further than Metro Exodus for a prime example....

A report by Video Game Chronicle suggests that the Xbox Series X will launch ahead of the PlayStation 5 in November. The report, which cites “development and retail sources,” notes that Sony has booked a significant amount of marketing spending that is scheduled to start on Nov. 13. The current expectation is that the PS5 will launch sometime within a week of that date. As for the Xbox Series X, the report notes that the same sources expect Microsoft to attempt to beat the PS5 to market by releasing its next-gen Xbox consoles (which, as it was noted elsewhere, could still include the Xbox Series S), during the first week of November....

XCOM: Chimera Squad, the turn-based tactical spin-off from Firaxis’ alien invasion series, is set after the events of XCOM 2: War of the Chosen. The game takes place in City 31, a model metropolis where humans, aliens, and hybrids live side by side. The fragile peace is guarded by a group of elite peacekeepers born from the old XCOM resistance. Unlike its predecessors, the soldiers of XCOM: Chimera Squad aren’t randomly generated, instead having unique backstories, personalities, and ability trees....

The Black Lotus might be banned from most Magic: The Gathering formats, but it’s still causing terror in the wallets of collectors, as a copy of the Alpha version of the card recently sold on eBay for over $166,000. (via. Polygon) The card in question is the Alpha version of the Black Lotus, which was the first ever Magic: The Gathering set. The Alpha Black Lotus is worth considerably more than its counterpart in the Beta set, though a lot of the pricing is related to the quality of the card....

Final Fantasy 14’s Announcement Showcase revealed the next expansion will come in the form of Endwalker.

With each event, there’s something new revealed about the upcoming content, but this year all of those events were canceled due to the Covid-19 pandemic....

This Young Justice: Outsiders review contains spoilers. Young Justice Season 3 Episode 9 Early on in Young Justice: Outsiders‘ return, it was pretty clear that the creators of the show hadn’t missed a step since they left six years ago. That wasn’t an entirely accurate observation, though. In the intervening half-decade, they actually got substantially better at making superhero tv shows, and when you think about how good the show was when they left off, that’s incredible....

Ys IX: Monstrum Nox is a weird game. Not weird in terms of its story because it has a fairly generic and easy-to-follow plot. The main character, Adol, is cursed with this power and must work together with his fellow cursed compatriots to help liberate a town and themselves. It’s also just a hack and slash RPG. What’s strange is the fact that this is a game released in 2021 with mechanics that were dated a decade ago....

What Does Lateral Movement (Cybersecurity Attack) Mean? Lateral movement is a technique that cyber-attackers use to stealthily explore a target network or cloud environment, learn its vulnerabilities and escalate access privileges to reach their target. The goal of malicious lateral movement is to gain access to the target, explore as much of the target as the attacker’s access credentials allow and look for other vulnerabilities that can be exploited to escalate privileges....

This article comes from Den of Geek UK. Stephen King is one of our most prolific authors dabbling predominantly in both horror and crime genres with near-equal success. With any successful novelist comes the inevitable film adaptations of their work. From debut wonders to slowburn success stories, Hollywood will sniff out the ones they think will make it on the silver screen. King is no exception. There are the classic adaptations such as Carrie and The Shining or the infamous adaptations of Maximum Overdrive and The Lawnmower Man....
