The strings in Michael Giacchino’s score begin to rise, and the two come together in a passionate kiss, their faces eclipsing the sun and bathing in the haze of a digital golden hour. The scene genuinely moves us, but only for a moment. Because then, the camera cuts away to Doctor Strange casting a spell and reaction shots from the various multiversal characters, taking the emphasis away from the kiss and putting it instead on Willem Dafoe and Jamie Foxx....

The Witcher 3 is lauded by many as one of the best RPGs of the last generation. However, for an immersive fantasy game, there’s one element of The Witcher’s world which feels totally out of place in the main quest. The journal entry for the Crones and the quest Reason of State both heavy-handedly reference Shakespeare’s Macbeth, going as far to directly quote the play in the game’s main plot despite Shakespeare not existing in The Witcher’s universe....

After David Duchovny left The X-Files at the conclusion of the seventh season, the series went in a new direction. Despite some inspired casting choices, many fans still see the disappearance of Fox Mulder as the beginning of the end for the iconic sci-fi series. While it’s not perfect, Season 8 deserves far more credit for unexpectedly strong chemistry between new and familiar characters and a tightly plotted mythology arc throughout the season....

Wolfenstein: The New Order, which has been added to Xbox Game Pass, proved to be a return to form for the ailing franchise. As B.J. Blazkowicz, wiping the floor with the Third Reich’s legions of machines and soldiers never felt so good. Like stepping into the shoes of an action hero, the gameplay itself is satisfyingly visceral. One of the features The New Order added is a progression system for perks....

While the previous two Machine Games-developed Wolfenstein titles were extremely heavy on story, 2019’s recently-released Wolfenstein: Youngblood made no pretenses about following in those same narrative-driven footsteps—at least, not initially. The third in the alternate history continuation of Id’s classic FPS franchise, Youngblood feels in many ways like a live-service looter shooter masquerading as a level-based, linear experience. And, while most players don’t seem to have taken too kindly to the series’ sudden shift in focus, there are at least a few story beats in which fans of the franchise’s quasi-new 52 may be interested....

An Oakville woman has been accused of a spree of crimes, including a large theft of computer equipment from the Toronto branch of Grand Theft Auto developer Rockstar Games. The list of thefts have reportedly taken place from December 24 until January 23, leading to the woman facing 18 charges in total for the string of crimes. According to official reports, aside from the thefts that occurred at Rockstar, the woman is also suspected to be responsible for a number of automobile break-ins that similarly resulted in stolen property....

Yakuza media has been exploding as of late, with the popular Yakuza franchise reportedly slated for a movie adaptation alongside an earlier release for its upcoming title Yakuza: Like A Dragon. Even Bushiroad, the creator of iconic rhythm games Love Live! School Idol Festival and BanG Dream! Girls Band Party, is jumping on the bandwagon. In its most recent livestream, the company announced that it is coming out with a new series called Road59: The Special Ward For A New Era Of Chivalry....

I love video games, but that’s kind of obvious. The only way I can express that is through writing. Well, that and editing videos. Getting pretty nifty at that, cough. Anyway, there are so many other talented people out there with skills I wish I had the knack for. Here’s a great example: custom console mods. Oh sure slapping on some paint, or a custom skin from an online shop wouldn’t be too hard....

There’s a lot to take in when it comes to World of Warcraft: Shadowlands. Many players rush to quests and dungeons, sometimes missing the little, hidden details in Shadowlands along the way. Of course, that’s understandable, since most players are focusing on one thing: character progression. Few things are as satisfying in World of Warcraft as watching a character become the legendary monster they were always destined to be. For many players, this means a DPS build; focusing on pouring as much damage as possible into an enemy in the shortest amount of time....

For many years, Azeroth has been a dangerous place for adventurers. Whether questing in the open world or fighting elite bosses, grouping with other players offers the best chance of survival especially in World of Warcraft: Classic. While it’s already tough enough taking down foes in endgame content including the recent Zul’Gurub, one raid group has managed to defeat Onyxia in nothing but their underwear. Onyxia is the only boss within Onyxia’s Lair, a raid in WoW Classic that is a stepping stone for higher tier raids....

It’s one of those strange truths of gaming that an ergonomically designed pad is far more daunting to non-fans than a conventional remote control brimming with inputs. From a layman’s point of view it’s easy to see why - after all, a play button never changes, while an X, which closes down PC folders, can perform just the opposite function on a PS4, and something else entirely on Xbox One....

Many fans have been looking forward to the Xbox Series X as it continues the legacy of a well-received console franchise. The Xbox Series X has already showcased impressive specifications but players have yet to be truly moved by gameplay footage from the console. Fortunately for fans of the console, there seem to be some elements that cannot be seen through video, although players will wonder how they can experience these features without purchasing the product....

Sure, there’s the big sprawling builds like the project to recreate a castle from Fable 2 or the entirety of Hogwarts, but sometimes all you need is something quaint, and that’s what user SpectralSpon has brought forward with their Bikini Bottom build. They’ve built Patrick, Squidward, and SpongeBob’s homes, albeit SpongeBob’s has a lot of holes in it and doesn’t appear to have an interior or a Gary, but there aren’t really tamable giant snails in Valheim just yet....

Update: As spotted by users on Twitter, players will need to purchase Yuffie’s extra episode when it is made available. No pricing has been announced yet. I’m pretty sure nobody was expecting DLC for Final Fantasy VII Remake, the insanely ambitious remake of the beloved Square Enix RPG. To cap off Sony’s first State of Play stream for 2021, the company unleashed a new trailer that showed off a brand new episode that will feature plucky ninja Yuffie....

Techopedia Explains Edge Scoring Edge scoring is the process of offloading analytics processing to IoT devices rather than just having them send back data to be processed by systems....
