Believe it or not, non-Jeopardy! viewers, but Celebrity Jeopardy! is a real thing and not just a classic series of SNL skits. America’s favorite quiz show has been inviting celebrities on to try their hand at trivia since its ninth season in 1992. And yes, like in the aforementioned SNL skits, the questions are usually a bit “dumbed down” from the usual games. Still, many celebrities over the years have revealed themselves to be secret brainiacs with their surprising performance on the grueling game....

Last week, the official Gears of War Twitter account shared an image of someone holding loose COG tags. Immediately, speculation started to spread online that The Coalition was teasing a Gears of War 2 remaster, and the idea seemed to spark a lot of excitement in the community. And while game studios typically avoid commenting on rumors or speculation, The Coalition made it a point to debunk the rumors that it was teasing a Gears of War 2 remaster....

Warner Bros. will continue The Matrix franchise with the fourth installment from director Lana Wachowski. However, The Matrix 4 will be the first entry in the film series not to feature Hugo Weaving’s Agent Smith and the actor opened up about the reason why Wachowski decided to cut him from the script. Filming on The Matrix 4 resumed in August following a five-month hiatus prompted by Warner Bros.’ decision to shut down production as part of the global effort to contain COVID-19....

The X-Men are one of the few superhero teams as powerful and iconic as the Avengers, but can the two share the same space in Square Enix’s latest release? Marvel’s Avengers arrives with a small roster of playable characters. Most of the main characters from the movies - Captain America, Iron Man, Black Widow, Thor, and Hulk - make an appearance.

When Geralt learns that he will have to travel to Velen to look for Ciri, he’s far from excited. Geralt hates the swamps and war-ravaged villages of Velen that became a no man’s land after the war. But he has no choice and goes there anyway. Velen is a vast place and it takes a while for Geralt to discover whether Ciri is still there or not.

HeroClix are about to get a new paint job, and it’ll be one worthy of its superhero origins. In anticipation of the upcoming set X-Men House of X, WizKids showed how several new figures compare to their older selves.

Developer Saber Interactive and publishers Mad Dog Games and Focus Home Interactive’s World War Z is definitely not the timeliest product of its day. The game is based off of a movie from roughly six years ago that was inspired by a book from 2006. What’s more is that World War Z contains gameplay similar to Valve’s Left 4 Dead series, which had its last entry come out about 10 years back....

Last year was a year in which I reconnected with the racing genre. From more realistic games list WRC 9, Dirt 5, and Project Cars 3, to quirkier titles like Art of Rally and Inertial Drift, there were a lot of solid racing titles for fans to check out… on the previous generation of consoles. Now that the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S are here (and relatively more available compared to last year), it’s time to make the move to the next-gen versions of the games - at least until 2021’s racing titles zoom onto our consoles....

Anyone who knows anything about WWE is aware of how pro wrestling often thrives off of gimmicky, odd things meant to wow a crowd....

Last year, Microsoft came under legal fire from a lawsuit accusing the company of making defective joysticks for its Xbox One controllers. Specifically, the controllers suffered from an allegedly intentional defect that would cause the joystick to “drift” over time, which essentially means that it would no longer properly center itself. The suit was filed in US District Court for the Western District, with Microsoft denying the charge. They did, however, extend their Xbox controller warranties from 90 days to one full year from the purchase date, and even made the change retroactive to purchases made before the lawsuit....

The first part of Xbox Game Pass’ November 2022 update has finally been revealed, and it includes one of 2022’s most underrated (and best) games. Yes, I’m talking about Vampire Survivors. Though technically released via Steam Early Access in 2021, Vampire Survivors gained…err…steam in 2022 thanks to the title’s word-of-mouth buzz and numerous updates. Actually, Vampire Survivors recently finally enjoyed a proper, full release, so now is certainly the time to try this game if you haven’t done so already....

This Young Justice: Phantoms review contains spoilers. Young Justice Season 4 Episode 3 Let’s just get this out of the way now.

Gaming often comes attached with a stereotype of sitting at home on the couch, being lazy instead of getting out and moving. One gamer is inadvertently doing his best to push back against that idea by turning the classic Super Mario 64 into an energetic workout, with the help of some neglected Microsoft hardware. The appropriately named YouTuber Super Louis 64, took a Microsoft Kinect device and programmed it to map his movements to the classic Super Mario 64 actions....
