Microsoft is prepping for some changes to the Xbox user interface going into the release of the Xbox Series X console later this year. The Xbox One isn’t being left behind, though, as all of Microsoft’s planned changes will be coming to the current-gen platform as well. Today the Xbox team revealed yet another feature being added to the consoles’ UI. Soon Xbox gamers will be able to see the status of their game installations from their console’s home screen....

Famous streamer Félix “xQc” Lengyel lit the internet on fire with this insane Junkrat-like VALORANT kill. VALORANT has taken Twitch, and the gaming world, by storm as the closed beta has been slowly opening up. Gamers have been flooding into the streams of popular Twitch personalities such as Summit1G, TimTheTatman, and xQc until they were able to get an access code of their own. All at once, it seems, Twitch has jumped on board with a new game as Summit1G and TimTheTatman had over 300,000 concurrent viewers between them....

However, before any fans worry about a console exclusive, be rest assured that Resident Evil Village will release on the Xbox Series X at some point.

For 12 years, Yoshinori Ono has been the face of the Street Fighter series, much like Ed Boon is to Mortal Kombat and Katuhiro Harada is to Tekken. After a trilogy of Street Fighter III titles came and went in the late-90s with little mainstream success (costly arcade hardware and lack of marketing for home ports didn’t help), the once giant of the fighting game genre coasted on its reputation and stopped releasing brand new installments beyond a crossover game or an updated home port....

Whenever there’s a new open-world RPG on the horizon, the most important question on everyone’s mind is, “how big is the map going to be?” Big maps are important to us because more map means more places to go and things to do. As a result, these games continue to get bigger and bigger to the point that they’re practically the size of a small country. And it looks like Starfield will be no different....

GameXplain, a popular YouTube channel focused on Nintendo games, is being accused of abusive work practices by former contributors Steve Bowling, Ash Paulsen and Derrick Bitner. The trio formed a new channel, Good Vibes Gaming, after leaving GameXplain at the end of 2020. On the January 2 episode of their Today’s News Tonight podcast, Bowling said that he was pressured and paid poorly to play through Final Fantasy 7 Remake after Square Enix sent review code 48 hours before the review embargo lifted....

In an interview with Beyond The Trailer’s Grace Randolph, Zack Snyder happily obliged when asked about a number of topics related to Zack Snyder’s Justice League, one of which notably addressed whether or not the film would remain in the canon of the current DC Extended Universe (or DCEU). Since a great many changes were reportedly implemented once director Joss Whedon took over production, there could potentially be some lore-breaking differences between the director’s original vision and the end product released in 2017....

What Does Evercrack Mean? “Evercrack” is a slang term for addictive use of one of the first massive multiplayer online role-playing games or MMORPGs, officially titled EverQuest. EverQuest was released in March 1999 as the second major MMORPG after Ultima Online. Eventually, the team garnered over 400,000 online players in the early years of the millennium. Techopedia Explains Evercrack The term “Evercrack” describes a specific kind of video game addiction. Because of the rich universe of EverQuest, players often got so involved in the game that they would compromise their real-world activities to favor time spent on playing EverQuest or composing their characters....

WandaVision, after eight weeks on air, is wrapping up with its finale come Friday, but 2021 isn’t completely devoid of Marvel content like last year. For those who are eagerly after more, there’s plenty on Disney+’s slate for fans of the spandex-clad and cape-donning do-gooders. In fact, there will be something from Marvel almost every single week of 2021 if all goes to plan. For context, WandaVision is the second Marvel Studios show following Agent Carter....

The Johto region was the ambitious follow-up to the Kanto region of Pokémon Red, Blue, and Yellow, and was intended to be the Pokémon game to end all Pokémon games until the series’ continued success prompted more games to be made. Many of the Johto Pokémon are actually ideas that were left out from the original Gen I games due to space and/or time constraints, but some were made specially to fit Johto....

As Witcher devs CD Projekt Red recompile their new Keanu Reeves simulator before going live on the Xbox One, PC, and PS4 this November, aspiring street samurai need not wait until 2077 to hack the planet. Unlike Cyberpunk 2020, the board game version of current year, Shadowrun is a science-fiction tabletop RPG rigged with a fantasy flair, augmenting the high technology of Deus Ex with the wizardry of Lord of the Rings....

The release of Animal Crossing: New Horizons is both a critical and commercial success. Almost a month has passed since it launched, giving players enough time to explore what the newest installment in the series offers. It’s clear that New Horizons improves over its predecessors in (almost) every way.

There are two upcoming games which deal with time loops, and where the deaths and restarts the player experiences outside the game are reflected in the player character’s in-universe deaths, which reset the loop. First to release will be Housemarque’s cerebral sci-fi horror, Returnal. Releasing just under a month later is Arkane’s action-adventure game Deathloop. It’s rare for two games with such similar premises to release so close to one another, even though the aesthetics of Returnal and Deathloop are very different....

This article contains spoilers for Superman & Lois episode 6. There’s a moment in “Broken Trust,” Superman & Lois episode 6, that will make you confused about what show you’re watching. Volunteer assistant football coach Clark Kent is in Metropolis with the boys for their first game against their old school, and the first time Jordan is seeing his ex-bullies since he gained his powers. Like any kid who found their confidence after time away from their tormentors, Jordan is revelling in showing them up a little – he lays a massive hit on one of the Metropolis High players and taunts him over it....

It seems like such a foreign idea that there was a time before superhero movies. Before the dawn of the MCU, there were the rare one-off superhero films. Tim Burton’s Batman got the general public’s attention, Superman was able to spawn several sequels, but this type of film had yet to really dominate the box office like Star Wars. It could be argued though that the original Spider-Man directed by Sam Raimi was the bridge between standalone superhero movies and the super cinematic universes and box office spectacle that is so commonplace today....

Sonic was in a strange place in 2002. Sega’s console ventures had come to an end, leaving their flagship mascot without a platform to market. The former heavyweight started to strike up deals with other publishers, with would-be exclusive blockbusters going to Nintendo and Microsoft for the very first time. But without a console to advertise, what was the purpose of Sonic? How could that franchise thrive without the full weight of a publisher/developer thrown behind it?...

Wipeout: Omega Collection is announced at PlayStation Experience 2016, with a collection of classic games from the futuristic racing series seeing a release for PS4. The Wipeout series was one of the darlings of the early PlayStation era, offering up a high-speed thrill ride for players at the cusp of 3D console gaming. In recent years - in spite of the series making its way onto every PlayStation device so far - fans of the franchise have been left out in the cold, with no releases for the series since PS Vita title Wipeout 2048....
