In Bloomberg’s newest scandal-covering story, it unveils that executives and employees in Ubisoft’s marketing department were not only complicit in, but actively pushing the idea that female protagonists don’t sell in the video games market. And thus, Aya’s role in Assassin’s Creed Origins was minimized so that the male protagonist Bayek could be given the spotlight. In Assassin’s Creed Origins, the player follows the Medjay Bayek in Ancient Egypt, who was the founder of the Hidden Ones, forerunners to the Brotherhood of Assassins, alongside his wife Aya....

Despite the fact that I wasn’t born in that decade, I consider myself a 90s kid. Go ahead and laugh at the tired old meme, but it’s true. Like many born in their own generations, I consider it to be the golden era for so many things be it video games, cartoons, films, books, and so on. To single one of those out, let’s take a look at Disney movies in the 1990s....

For people getting into Dungeons & Dragons, there are quite literally thousands of guides on how to be a good DM, but there are considerably fewer resources for players. The other people at the table are just as important to D&D as DMs, and good players can contribute to a campaign as much as bad ones can hinder it. These are some of the most common tips for DMs, and how players can use them to their own advantage....

Plumber versus Rayquaza? Eh… plumber versus Piplup? A little bit more manageable. Mario is one of the most prominent names in gaming, having saved Princess Peach’s life on more than one occasion and kept the Mushroom Kingdom in order time and time again. But what if he were to go into an all-new territory, such as the world of Pokémon? Who would he defeat, and who would take him down? Let’s find out....

In 2014, Nintendo and Koei Tecmo released their first crossover game. Designed as a Dynasty Warriors game, Hyrule Warriors was a spin-off of The Legend of Zelda. It released on the Wii U, 3DS, and Switch. In early 2020, a sequel was announced. Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity released a while back and has helped Nintendo as many fans didn’t think they would receive a huge game this holiday.

The SAG-AFTRA actors union has asked its members not to work on Songbird, the pandemic movie from Michael Bay. While movies like Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings are taking proper precautions over COVID-19, it seems that the union isn’t convinced about the safety measures on the Michael Bay movie. On July 2, the SAG-AFTRA union sent a “Do Not Work” notice to its members about Songbird, saying that the movie’s producers had “failed to complete the signatory process and is therefore not signed to any applicable SAG-AFTRA agreement....

Alpha Protocol has been pulled from digital storefronts, but it’s not because Sega wanted to stop selling it. In case you weren’t around in the heady days of 2010 (or were just too busy playing other, better games), Alpha Protocol was a third-person action spy RPG made by Obsidian and published by Sega. Players assumed control of a new recruit to an American spy agency that’s so covert not even the American government knows about it....

Here’s how the new prices look from 21 February: Music streaming services have long come under fire for the small amount of money they give to music artists each time their songs are played. But in terms of customer value, they can be a great way for people to listen to new music without having to buy songs either via online services or physical plastic discs. Streaming services also continue to add new value to the music they offer customers, with spatial audio and high-resolution music two examples of features that Apple and others advertise....
