This post contains spoilers of an existential nature. “Do you think God stays in heaven because he too lives in fear of what he’s created?” Steve Buscemi’s Dr. Romero asks in the 2002 modern cinematic masterpiece, Spy Kids 2: Island of Lost Dreams. It’s a valid question. One that I’ve been asking myself a lot this week as the “does Batman eat pussy” discourse continues across various social media platforms. It just got another shot in the arm from Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and Justice League director Zack Snyder as it happens, because we live in a society....

Inspired by the hit film, Sony Pictures Virtual Reality unveiled a VR shooter featuring the same cast of characters called Zombieland: Headshot Fever, set to release later this year. Back when it released in 2009, Zombieland became a commercial success and now is a cult classic thanks to its satirical nature and morbid sense of humor in comparison to other zombie movies. Starring Woody Harrelson, Jesse Eisenberg, Abigail Breslin, and Emma Stone, the film is all about shooting and killing zombies, and Sony’s new VR game will be no different....

Gamescom 2020 brought lots of exciting gaming news to the table, including the announcement of The Sims 4: Journey to Batuu. After much speculation from The Sims community, it was confirmed the new game pack would be Star Wars themed, but the announcement left many players disappointed and upset with the direction The Sims team is taking. Twitter gives Simmers a unique opportunity to communicate with Sim Gurus, being able to tag them in tweets for a higher chance of being noticed and replied to, leading to players being vocal about all the things they want out of The Sims 4 that haven’t been implemented yet....

When it comes to Dungeons and Dragons expansions, fans generally have to wait a while between installations. Wizards of the Coast can’t exactly make a well-balanced book with several hundred pages of new Dungeons and Dragons content every month. Fans are willing to tough out the long waits between expansions, as they’re certainly worth the wait. Books like Xanathar’s Guide to Everything and Tasha’s Cauldron of Everything add fantastic spells and subclasses for fans to play with, and others like Mordenkainen’s Tome of Foes gives DMs some fantastic new monsters to flesh out their worlds....

Of course, for many, this may just build hype for the next main entry in the franchise, Diablo 4. With a new year now here, many are likely looking forward to receiving Diablo 4 news, updates, and more. However, when hoping for such material, keeping expectations in check is always important, with some key information seemingly more likely to be revealed than others....

Motorstorm smashed its way onto the PS3 as a launch title way back in 2006. I’ll admit, I never played the original. I was a bit late to the party with getting a PS3, but I played the sequels, Pacific Rift, Apocalypse and RC. They were loud, kinetic, and everything I love in arcade racing games. More than anything, Motorstorm was absolutely gorgeous. Pacific Rift really took advantage of the PS3 hardware to bring its stunning volcanic island setting to life....

The world of Disney is a dense and heavily populated place. Whilst many people think of the classic animated movies, such as The Lion King and Beauty and the Beast as soon as the topic is brought up, there are also plenty who tuned in during their childhood to Disney Channel’s The Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, which helped launch the careers of some of the biggest names on the planet today. Would we have half the pop stars and actors we have today without the series?...

Zodiac Signs, like it or not, we all have them. Even if they aren’t always 100% accurate they’re still fun ways to possibly explain our behavior. Sometimes knowing our zodiac Nowadays, it’s almost impossible to decide what game to play. Gaming companies release new titles all throughout the year. Thousands are added to Steam each year. There’s literally no way to keep up. It’s more than difficult for people to decide what game is right for them....

Skyrim is full of eligible bachelors and bachelorettes—some might say too many to choose from. For Dragonborns looking to settle down, options range from gruff warriors to friendly merchants and loyal housecarls. Some are generic and one-dimensional, but plenty of others are full of depth. Players are bound to form bonds with many NPCs as they delve into caves and slay dragons together. Once they find an Amulet of Mara, though, the Dragonborn can make a choice....

Fallout 4 is a truly great game - but why are reviewers and fans alike so eager to give it a pass on the same issues that derail other industry efforts? I’m going to preface this by saying that Fallout 4 has its hooks in me the same way that The Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt did earlier this year. That isn’t unexpected, of course: both games are massive in scope, feature deep skill trees and gameplay mechanics, and are built from the ground up to showcase a gorgeous, unique environment that houses an equally engrossing story....

This article contains The Falcon and the Winter Soldier spoilers. For the curious amongst us, gleaning information from Marvel about a second season of The Falcon and the Winter Soldier these last few months has pretty much meant running into a series of brick walls. Ask anyone involved about the future of the show, which examines the legacy of Captain America and super soldiers through the lens of the latest man to wield the shield, Sam Wilson, and you’d get the verbal equivalent of a shrug....

As we’re headed down the final stretch to October 31, Halloween-themed games are being announced and released seemingly daily. Developer Barrel Roll Games and publisher Daedalic Entertainment have another to add to the list, as they bring their multiplayer hide & seek game Witch It out of early access and into full version 1.0 release. Witch It comes out of early access hiding with a version 1.0 release trailer, a launch promotion sale price, and a cauldron full of new events and updates....

While the next generation of consoles nears launch, Microsoft has been somewhat on the back foot as the PlayStation 4 has dominated sales relative to the Xbox One over the past years. Now the delay of Halo Infinite means that there are no first-party titles launching with the Xbox Series X, not only giving Sony the edge, but possibly dooming the console to the same fate as the PS Vita....

Wonhon: A Vengeful Spirit launches on June 8, but developer Busan Sanai Games has published an extended demo ahead of its release.

The main heroine of the game loses her entire family during a village-wide massacre – and eventually falls victim herself....

Respawn has gone back to work on one of their favorite punching bags in Apex Legends, giving Wraith a very peculiar nerf. As it stands, Wraith is still dominate across most metrics in Apex Legends. Because of this consistency – which has existed since launch – Respawn has continued to explore different avenues towards ideal balance. Wraith and Pathfinder have received a decent amount of nerfs in particular, as the two legends have reigned supreme in competitive and casual contexts....

Xbox cloud gaming is currently only available on Android smartphones, but it sounds like iOS and PC players will soon get to join in on the fun. Microsoft had planned to bring the service to more platforms this spring, and recent comments indicate we could be just days away from its arrival. Speaking turning a cloud gaming walkthrough, Kevin LaChapelle – vice president of xCloud and engineering at Microsoft – made an exciting announcement....

The first round of Xbox Series X gameplay previews left many convinced that the next-gen console may have a heating problem. However, a new round of tests suggests that may not actually be the case. For instance, VentureBeat ran a fairly simple Xbox Series X heat test in which they ran Hitman 2 on the Xbox Series X, Xbox One X, PS4 Pro, and a PC with an RTX 3080 GPU and Ryzen 9 3900XT CPU....

Another year of pure Yellowstone TV dominance has come and gone and Yellowstone season 5 is officially on the way. Fans can quibble with whether Yellowstone season 4 and its all out war saga was creativity successful or not, but what cannot be denied is the awesome ratings power of this Taylor Sheridan-created Paramount Network series. In its fourth season, Yellowstone was once again one of TV’s most-watched properties, with a premiere that drew 10....
