It might sound counter-intuitive, but FIFA 20 players getting relegated on purpose in Division Rivals mode actually makes a lot of sense. FIFA’s Ultimate Team has been a popular feature for years. However, EA Sports upped the popularity via the release of FIFA 19 when it added Division Rivals to FUT. Players not only assembled teams and played against one another, but wins would earn them promotion to higher divisions, and losses would see them fall into relegation and tumble down a division or two....

A few years ago, Manifest Season 4 would have been a promising proposition for the array of insatiable streaming platforms that saw the act of rescuing a beloved canceled network series as a proverbial feather in the cap. However, for obvious reasons, times have clearly changed for the industry in the past year.

If you like Metroidvanias, the matchup here might surprise you. Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night was spearheaded by Koji Igarashi, the man formerly responsible for the Castlevania series for which the whole genre was (partially) named. While it may be true that few people know more about Metroidvanias than him, Touhou Luna Nights has the edge in all things style, as well as the staying power behind the ultra-popular Touhou Project....

Training Day’s “King Kong” monologue stands tall among the great speeches of cinema. Denzel Washington elevates the iambic pentameter of Iago, the villain of William Shakespeare’s Othello, to syncopated street rhythms. It is on par with Marlon Brando’s reflections on the horrors of war as Col. Kurtz in Apocalypse Now, it is the inverse of Gregory Peck’s monologues as Atticus Finch in To Kill A Mockingbird, and it ranks with Joe Pesci’s “Do you think I’m funny?...

The trailer itself displays simple cel-shaded, cartoony graphics, bringing to mind the art styles of both Team Fortress 2 and The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker. The game, however, looks to be a promising mix of two other franchises: Westworld and Harry Potter. On Steam, the developers describe the title as, “…an open world exploration game with magic, loot, and RPG elements....

As the act of buying games, movies, and TV shows digitally becomes more and more prevalent, the size of hard drives will have to increase to compensate. PCs don’t really have to worry about this being as issue, since there are a wide range of hard drive sizes to choose from, but consoles, specifically the Xbox One and PS4, don’t have as much variety.
