If ever there was someone out there wondering what a Yakuza-Persona crossover would look like, oddly enough they’d likely getYakuza: Like a Dragon. For previous Yakuza fans, Like a Dragon is surprisingly close to a Yakuza game in narrative tone and structure, but that’s really where the similarities will end. Yakuza is known to go off the deep end in terms of bombastic enemies and villains, but Like a Dragon makes every effort to take it a step further....

It’s now possible to romance Yosuke in the PC version of Persona 4 Golden, thanks to a new mod that is available online. The Persona series has had a pretty bad history when it comes to LGBTQ representation, which has included ignoring pleas from fans to add a gay romance option.

Originally, the player was going to be able to romance Yosuke, but it was never finished, and only a few voice lines remain in the final version of Persona 4....

If you haven’t already checked out Arcane on Netflix, you really need to put it high on your to do list. Yes, it’s based on the world and characters of League of Legends, one of the planet’s most popular battle arena games, but that’s almost irrelevant. Somehow this animated series manages to be amazing in its own right, pleasing both players and those who know nothing of Jinx, Vi, Jayce, or any other champion from the game....

PC players are also getting a first chance to try out the franchise this coming weekend, as Bungie is holding an open beta period to make sure when this version launches in October that everything is as smooth as can be.

One of the first things you notice when watching the new Marvel series Hawkeye is the time and place in which it is set. Yes, for the first time since 2013 — when Iron Man 3 was the first and, to date, last entry to take place during this part of the year — a Marvel Cinematic Universe story is set at Christmas time. Visiting the Big Apple with his kids for a little pre-holiday sightseeing, a semi-retired Hawkeye/Clint Barton (Jeremy Renner) quickly sends his clan home as he teams up with a new hero named Kate Bishop (Hailee Steinfeld) and uncovers a criminal conspiracy involving the remnants of the Avengers....
Star Wars: Squadrons got the attention of a lot of gamers when it was announced. This was primarily because it looks set to deliver a specific and widely enjoyed element of Star Wars. Many players had hoped that Star Wars: Battlefront 2 would offer dog-fights and while the game did supply some space battles, the title had a mixed reception and few fans felt that a comprehensive space fighting system was delivered....
Stephen King’s second published novel, ‘Salem’s Lot, arrived in hardcover in October 1975 and was King’s next step toward transforming himself from an obscure Maine writer to a pop culture phenomenon. His first novel, Carrie, had sold modestly in hardcover, but the paperback edition of the book took off, selling more than one million copies in its first year of release. Sales were also helped by Brian De Palma’s 1976 movie adaptation, which was not just a box office hit but yielded Academy Award nominations for stars Sissy Spacek and Piper Laurie....
A recent report from Bloomberg suggests that Microsoft is interested in acquiring instant messaging and digital distribution platform Discord for the stunning rumored price of nearly $10 billion. If we allow ourselves to move past the standalone absurdity of that figure, the question becomes “Is Discord really worth that much?” The answer to that question ultimately requires you to properly analyze a lot of figures that are quite frankly too boring to even dream of extensively debating, but if we’re just talking about Microsoft and Discord as video game companies, then it actually makes quite a bit of sense for Microsoft to spend whatever it takes to acquire Discord....
Fortnite can attribute a number of things to its incredible popularity. The timing of its foray into the battle royale arena is a big one, and the number of updates its developers roll out and the tweaks it makes to the game also play a large part. The basic premise of Fortnite might be 100 people landing on an island and eliminating each other, but Epic’s unique ideas mean that it has become so much more than that....

Microsoft is removing the need for Xbox Live Gold (or, as it is now called, Network) in order to use party chat and Looking 4 Groups features as well as to experience free-to-play multiplayer games. The ramifications of this are quite large, as it means that titles such as Apex Legends, Fortnite, Destiny 2, and Darwin Project may be playable without the need for a monthly subscription. This news was broken by Xbox Preview Program developer Brad Rossetti on Twitter, who said, “Multiplayer in free-to-play games, Looking 4 Groups, and party chat on Xbox no longer requires an Xbox Live Gold membership....

Taylor Sheridan is single-handedly making Paramount one of biggest success stories in television. The season 4 finale of Yellowstone (ironically, one of the shows’ slower seasons), airing on Paramount Network, brought in a reported 9.3 million viewers to watch the Dutton family drama. Its prequel, 1883 debuted with over 6 million viewers, and gained so much momentum over it’s 10-episode run, that when the show had its recent finale, its popularity superseded the numbers set by Yellowstone, becoming the most in-demand program on Paramount+....
