Naughty Dog has proven itself to be one of the top video game studios in the world, and all eyes will be on its next project....
Tomb Raider turns 25 this year, and while the next title is still a ways off, we know it will attempt to reunite the globetrotting, action movie tones of the original games with the more gritty and grounded reboot of younger Lara. Quite how this will work is unclear, and we don’t know if that means just adhering to the structure of the older games or fully folding them into the canon....
For a show that looks as surreal and shocking as WandaVision, it’s no surprise that audiences are yet to see all that the genre-bending Disney Plus series has to offer. Indeed, although some details have been leaked (such as the series “directly” tying into Sam Raimi’s upcoming Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness film, or the presence of franchise characters like Randall Park’s Jimmy Woo), there is still plenty that fans simply don’t know....
The art of improving at a multiplayer FPS game such as Call of Duty: Warzone might be more complicated than it seems. The easiest path is just to constantly queue matches, playing through the battle royale over and over. However, if you find yourself falling short in the game mode far too often, a little creative thinking can get you a leg up, fast. He/she who throws the most hours into a game wins, right?...

With World of Warcraft: Shadowlands nearly reaching its 3-month anniversary, most players have completed everything the launch had to offer. While there are still plenty of endgame activities to do, many heroes need something else besides running Castle Nathria raids and timing Mythic+ dungeons. Thankfully, there is no shortage of seasonal events back in Azeroth, including the Lunar Festival. Coinciding with the real life Lunar New Year celebrated by various cultures, Warcraft’s Lunar Festival celebrates the Burning Legion’s first defeat thanks to an alliance between the Night Elves and various other races thousands of years ago....
Blizzard’s campaign of rolling out World of Warcraft Classic’s original patches in phases continues. The Rise of the Blood God update is now live in-game, re-releasing the Zul’Gurub raid for World of Warcraft Classic players to adventure through once more. Zul’Gurub isn’t all that’s been released in World of Warcraft Classic, though. There’s also new open-world bosses, the Stranglethorn fishing tournament, and the first hints of warning in Silithus. Zul’Gurub is one of World of Warcraft Classic’s most notable raids....
It doesn’t take much to make a VR game scary. When you look at a screen, it’s a lot easier to separate fantasy and reality. In VR, there is nothing to separate your visual field from the world of the game. You can look away from something scary, but you can never look away from the game itself. The most cliche monster or overplayed horror scene can still have a big impact on a player in VR because the experience is just so visceral and in (or on) your face....

Ys IX: Monstrum Nox originally launched in 2019 in Japan on PS4. Between then and now, that’s actually a long time for a localization process, although the quarantine probably did affect this time table. The point is it was worth the wait, especially since the last proper installment was all the way back in 2016 for Japan and a year later for North America. All one needs to know about this game is that this is a hack and slash RPG....

This Batwoman article contains spoilers through Season 2, Episode 15, “Armed and Dangerous.” In the previous episode, Batwoman put Luke in the literal crosshairs of white Crows in an inevitable conflict between a Black man and a trigger happy cop. The circumstances that led there were messy and didn’t make much sense, but the Crows shooting an unarmed Black person was a narrative certainty—the logical apex of the season-long arc surrounding the Crows....
This article contains spoilers for the Final Destination movies Olivia Castle (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) knows things are about to be bad. Despite her doctor’s kind assurances that her laser eye surgery is routine and harmless, despite the stuffed bear she clutches, Olivia cannot help but shudder. Strapped to a table, her head held still and her eyelids pulled open, Olivia only grows more agitated. In contrast, the doctor goes through the setup process in a patient monotone, calmly talking her through the process....

The reveal of this intended feature drew controversy from some gamers who threw out the usual complaints (“SJW,” “PR Move,” “Virtue Signaling,” blah, blah, etc., etc.), but the bulk of the controversy in this instance dates back to anti-transgender comments made by Harry Potter author J....
