After teasing it earlier this week, Xbox has confirmed Game Pass Ultimate subscribers can now get 30 days of Disney Plus at no extra cost. There are a lot of reasons why Xbox Game Pass Ultimate might well be the best deal in all of gaming today. The new games every month, the existing library, the new releases arriving on the service from day one. Not to mention all of the non-game-related perks that come with it, including the return of a free trial of Disney Plus this month....

New images have come to light that might give players new insight on what to expect from Microsoft’s plans going forward with Next-Gen consoles, and specifically the Xbox Series X. From the looks of this latest leak, some early assumptions for the Series X may turn out to be true, at least if the information on the controller packaging turns out to be true. This newest leak comes from a prominent leaker, @Wario64 on Twitter, who shared a set of images uploaded by @TinyRakan, who claims to have an Xbox Series X controller, complete with the packaging....

The memories of both Yaiba: Ninja Gaiden Z and Ninja Gaiden 3 are still fresh in the minds of any Team Ninja fan. Both games were eagerly anticipated, but upon launch they failed to appease fans. They each scored far lower than average on Metacritic, and the fanbase generally avoids these games when thinking about playing through the series, though things did improve with Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor’s Edge. I was able to ask Fumihiko Yasuda, head of Team Ninja, a few questions about the series in a recent email Q&A and he talked to us about the upcoming Ninja Gaiden: Master Collection at length, but we needed to know more about the history of Team Ninja and the Ninja Gaiden franchise....

With Tekken 7 inching closer to release, the fighting game community has begun to ramp up discussion surrounding Bandai Namco’s popular fighting franchise. The recent announcement that Tekken 7 would feature more guest characters has certainly added to that growing conversation, especially because fans of the series were so pleased with the prior inclusion of Street Fighter’s Akuma. In an effort to appease a dedicated fanbase - and, perhaps, for a bit of free publicity - Tekken 7 project director Katsuhiro Harada recently took to Twitter to ask fans which guest characters they would like to see in the game’s upcoming DLC....

If you’re more of a casual Nintendo Switch dabbler, you might want to bear this warning in mind. As is the case with all sorts of rechargeable devices, the hybrid handheld’s battery doesn’t really take kindly to being left forgotten for protracted periods of time. As PS5 and Xbox Series S/X work to iron out the pre-order issues and brace themselves for launch, Nintendo and its fans are in a bit of an odd position....

Just days ago, a popular YouTube Channel titled Girlfriend Reviews published their thoughts on Naughty Dog’s The Last of Us 2. On that same day, the game’s director, Neil Druckmann, recommended the video in a personal tweet, encouraging players to watch it after completing the game. Because of this, the video exploded with negative comments, claiming that the YouTube channel was paid to give a positive review of the game. Due to the recent internet hate that The Last of Us 2 has received ever since its launch, many commenters seemed to believe that instead of truly liking the game, Girlfriend Reviews had been paid by Naughty Dog to endorse the title....

Despite the fact that GTA 5 is playable on three generations of gaming consoles, and despite the fact that it’s been offered to millions via various subscription services over the years (most recently Game Pass), people still can’t seem to get enough of the 2013 game that regularly tops global sales charts. There’s a lot you can say about why GTA 5 has stayed popular over the years, but any discussions have to start with the fact that it is a great game....

While the WWE has had a mixed history with its recent wrestling-themed video games, including a poor reception to WWE 2K 2020 and subsequent shift to a different kind of title with WWE 2K Battlegrounds, the mobile game WWE Undefeated has seemingly been a success since it launched last December. Developed by nWay, also responsible for Power Rangers: Battle for the Grid, WWE Undefeated has made it a point to add “superstars and legends” to its roster, recently revealing Braun Strowman....

It’s no small secret that the PlayStation 3 has one rendering advantage over the Xbox 360 and Wii. Since its release, the PS3 has been a step above the others because of its ability to utilize MLAA (morphological anti-aliasing) to take the big hits like God of War 3 and make the look as smooth and as realistic as possible, removing all forms of “jagged” pixilation that would crop up....

The next generation of consoles is fastly approaching, with the releases of the PS5 and Xbox Series X this holiday season being imminent. As their releases near, changes are bound to happen regarding the details and it appears Microsoft has established a new logo for the Xbox Series X. According to The GamePost, a trademark for the new logo was filed on April 16, 2020. If the new logo is the final appearance of that for the Xbox Series X, then it is quite a distinction from every logo for all of Microsoft’s consoles thus far....

Xbox Corporate VP Mike Ybarra is known as a major gamer. Ybarra regularly tweets about his love for various games, but one of his favorites is Destiny (and its sequel, Destiny 2). And Ybarra is not just a casual fan either; he regularly shows off achievements that prove he’s as dedicated as anyone, like completing a full set of Solstice of Heroes armor for every class. However, though Ybarra is clearly a fan of Destiny 2, he is not against criticizing or poking fun at developer Bungie’s decisions....

This Yellowstone review contains spoilers. Yellowstone Season 5 Episode 3 It was only a week ago when our review of the first two episodes of Yellowstone season 5 deemed this season “deliberately paced” or even “superfluous” – these are diplomatic ways of saying that the double-sized premiere of the show felt slow, and even repeated story beats audiences saw in season 4 at times. Yet, there was always faith. Faith in the show....

This has got to be the weirdest marketing stunt ever pulled off. A zombie named Frank invaded Twitch streamer Leah Viathan’s broadcast, stole a can of Pringles, and then left. And later, he’ll be getting added to the game West of Dead as a helpful NPC. There’s a lot going on here, so we’ll tackle this one at a time. To start, Microsoft and Pringles are getting together for a marketing blitz in the UK....
