The Marvel Cinematic Universe is like the popular kid in school—everyone wants to be them and everyone follows the trends that they set. It’s no coincidence that DC began trying to set up their own cinematic universe after seeing the success that Marvel was achieving with the Avengers. In a similar vein, Marvel may once again be able to retain its title as the superhero trendsetter with its upcoming Disney Plus MCU shows....

Korean League of Legends competitor Lee “Crown” Min-ho has retired, the 25-year-old announced today on Instagram. The mid lane star has played in both Korea and North America, winning one World Championship title with Samsung Galaxy in 2017. Crown joined the LCK in 2015 while playing under the Samsung Galaxy banner. The Korean player first made a name for himself in the StarCraft world before switching over to League.

Players of Blizzard’s World of Warcraft can finally partake in Warcraft’s ever-expanding story through their characters. As players journey through Azeroth, their characters slowly become the Champions of their respective factions - the Alliance and the Horde. And while other players keep their eyes glued to endgame content such as Raids, other players try to keep things simple. Why, while they’re Champions of Azeroth, surely the world has more to offer than one battle to the next, right?...

The solo developer of WorldBox – a mobile simulation game with over a million installs – recently discovered that a shell company called Stavrio LTD had filed trademarks for WorldBox in a blatant attempt to steal their title. In a lengthy Reddit post, WorldBox creator Maxim details the gut-wrenching discovery. It all started on the community’s Discord chat, where a member wrote, “Somebody copied the game - it looks just like yours....

Warning: this review contains spoilers for “The Dark Phoenix Saga” and Avengers: Endgame. The 1980 saga is one of those sweeping, cosmos-spanning events that the major comics publishers seem to try to replicate two or three times a year these days, but it was groundbreaking back then because it broke an unwritten comics law (up to that point) against killing off a major character–by suicide, no less–and had truly tragic reverberations for the Marvel universe and the X-Men franchise in particular....

YouTuber Miniminter recently paid well over $11,000 for a gold-plated PS5 and unboxed the console for all to see. Four months on from the console’s launch, PS5s remain hard to come by. This week, UK retailer Currys switched to a lottery system when it comes to selling its limited stock. There is one site that is yet to sell out of its PS5s, and there’s a good reason for that. Truly Exquisite has PS5s in stock right now....

Zack Snyder has never watched Joss Whedon’s Justice League on the advice of his wife and Christopher Nolan. It is now less than a month until the world will finally get to see what 2017’s Justice League would have looked like had Zack Snyder not needed to depart the project. Snyder was replaced by Joss Whedon after the former stepped away following the death of his daughter. Whedon proceeded to alter large parts of the movie, destroying the vision Snyder had for it....

While it seemed to last forever, 2020 is now behind the world. With the new year, gamers have a lot of stuff to look forward to, especially fans of a big studio like Bethesda. While Bethesda has been tight-lipped about many of its recent projects, 2021 seems like the year that it starts to reveal details about the games it has been dangling in front of its fans. With Starfield, The Elder Scrolls 6, and a lot more in the works from Bethesda, fans of just about any genre have something to look forward to from the developer....

When Dragon Quest was first introduced in 1986, it was designed to be a simplified version of RPGs like Wizardry or Ultima. Players took control of a lone knight who had to save the world of Alefgard from the likes of the dreaded Dragonlord. Of course, party roles slowly started to be formed with Dragon Quest II and classes were formally introduced in Dragon Quest III. Part of the appeal was the vocation system where players can not only customize their hero but their allies as well....

Video game sequels are honestly kind of a miracle. Sequels are generally burdened by the need to build upon something good (or successful) enough to justify a sequel in the first place. At the same time, they’re expected to offer an experience that stands fairly tall on its own. They’re supposed to grow tall while living in the shadow of a memory of how their predecessors made people feel. Some sequels overcome the cruel construct of that format in spectacular ways....

Capcom has been on a roll here lately, releasing hit after hit like the Resident Evil 2 Remake and Monster Hunter World, with Resident Evil 3 being the latest to receive its iconic remake treatment. Although its commercial success has yet to be determined, it’s proven to not be as popular among critics, for a variety of reasons. However, that’s not to say that it’s a bad remake—it does everything a remake should and then some....

After a bit of miscommunication among all parties, it seems clear now that Wolfenstein: Youngblood will indeed have several microtransactions in game, but only for cosmetic items and not for weapons as was mistakenly stated previously. The confusion came during E3 when a developer said during a round-table discussion that purchases would also include weapon upgrades that could allow for speedier progression. VG247 recently received official confirmation from Bethesda that this was in fact an error, and only cosmetics and things such as emotes would be purchasable with real money....

There is a lot of excitement around Xbox at the moment, with the company unveiling its next-generation console and games this year. Xbox has already boasted the impressive specifications of the Xbox Series X but many fans have wondered what games will accompany this technology and most importantly how the titles would leverage the features of the console.

The Xbox Series X launch has been relatively smooth, with the biggest issue being availability above all else. However, as with any new product launch, there have been some technical issues that early adopters have had to deal with. While not all of the Xbox Series X launch issues have been deal-breakers, one, in particular, has caused fans serious problems, though Xbox is looking for a solution. Those with an Xbox Series X may have noticed that controllers will desync and become unresponsive from time to time, a major inconvenience that requires a multi-step process to fix....

The Xbox team is currently focusing on spreading the gospel of the Xbox Series X console’s upcoming games. Right now that focus in on third-party titles.

Xera: Survival, as you may have guessed from the title, is an open world, multiplayer survival game. You run around performing typical survival tasks, like grabbing food and water so you don’t die, as well as finding guns, ammo, medical supplies, and other gear to help you fend off any violent threat waiting to end your life. In this game, that threat is robots, and of course, other players. The game takes place in 2022, and apparently by then we’ve messed around with A....
