Dragon Ball Super was going to bring the franchise back in a strong way. It was going to be the big comeback for one of the most popular animated shows ever made. People were hyped and they had every right to be. It had been over 20 years since we had a new Dragon Ball show. Akira Toriyama was back at the helm and hopes were high. They couldn’t possibly do worse than Dragon Ball GT....
Who’s your favourite villain of all time? That’s a tough one, isn’t it? The fact is, when you consider, movies, TV shows, books, video games, comics, and everything else altogether, there’s just such an incredible line up to go through. We don’t like to admit that we prefer the villains, of course, but it’s a fact that they just tend to be much cooler than their counterparts. For me, Crash Bandicoot’s archenemy Dr....
2K Games has a long history with the first-person shooter genre, with particular love in recent years for the likes of BioShock and Borderlands. As such, it will come as no surprise to learn that further first-person shooters are on the cards at the publisher, but it turns out that 2K Games is actually putting together a brand new team for one project. That is, according to a number of job listings that have been posted over on 2K Games’ website....
2019 is shaping up to be another great year in gaming. Ghost of Tsushima looks amazing, there’s a new game coming from the makers of Dark Souls, and of course, Nintendo will have plenty of surprises for us on the Switch. That’s just the original stuff though. Plenty of older franchises; some storied and some not, are returning with new installments as well. In fact, the variety is staggering when it comes to video game sequels in 2019....
Game franchises are similar to movie franchises. Some of them are critically acclaimed and loved by audiences, but for one reason or another fail to endure. Some of them are awful, and quickly fade into distant corners of our memory. The franchises in the former category all have vocal fans that demand another installment, and question the sanity and intelligence of those who decide to mothball a beloved franchise. The latter group has no fans, fail with each successive title, and have no one wanting their return....
Fun fact, the PlayStation consoles have the second largest library out of any console franchises, save for Nintendo’s. There is a massive library of games on the past PlayStations that, because of the PS4 and PS5’s lack of complete backward compatibility, have been lost to time. And it’s a shame because some of those titles are really, really good. Luckily, it seems like Sony has taken notice of its massive back catalog....
It’s been quite a few years now that everyone was introduced to the cloud, storing all your media and information at a data center for easy access. It’s taken until now for a mainstream game like Pokémon to take full advantage of the system, now allowing players to store all their Pokémon in a similar way. Accessible on both the game system and mobile devices players have a near unlimited amount of access to everything the community has to offer....
It was just recently that Nintendo confirmed the whispers regarding the potential release of an enhanced 3D Mario compilation. A trailer was showcased via Youtube as part of a 35th-anniversary celebration for the iconic mustached mascot. Much to the delight (and surprise) of many fans, this would include high-res versions of Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine, and Super Mario Galaxy - and would release in mere weeks. Though this alone was sufficient in exciting many a Nintendo fan, the announcement was somewhat bittersweet, as the compilation appeared to be rather bare-bones....
With Final Fantasy XIV’s free trial now allowing players to play through the entire base game and the first expansion, Heavensward, more players are trying out FFXIV than ever before. But the first few weeks of joining a new MMO can be a daunting experience, full of skills and tips new players will need to learn as they progress through the game. Unfortunately, FFXIV is no different—but don’t worry, we’re here to help!...
“I was cured all right,” Alex DeLarge (Malcolm McDowell) asserts at the end of Stanley Kubrick’s 1971 cautionary science fiction classic, A Clockwork Orange, and audiences cheered. We left theaters relieved the teenaged thug who’d been beating and attacking his way through the future suburbs of London escaped government brainwashing, conformity, and supplication with his mind, and baser instincts, intact. Good for him. He is free to brutalize and pillage another day....
Square Enix recently trademarked the Live A Live name in Europe and Australia, suggesting that the game is either being ported or remastered for modern systems. If the game is being remade, then we might hear an updated version of the track that inspired one of the most famous modern songs in gaming - “Megalovania” from Undertale. “Megalovania” is a song that can only be heard when pursuing the Genocide route in Undertale, which means that players need to go out of their way to massacre every monster in the game in order to experience it....
Speaking to IGN on the Westworld red carpet, JJ Abrams confirms that the Half-Life and Portal movies are still in development, with a Portal announcement coming ‘fairly soon’. For those who are keeping track, it’s been approximately three years since JJ Abrams revealed at DICE 2013 that his company Bad Robot and Valve would be teaming up to produce movie adaptations of Half-Life and Portal. Since that announcement, very little has been said about the projects, with the most recent update dating back several months ago when Abrams stated that Bad Robot is still working on the films....
Gerudo Town is a place that Zelda fans got to know quite well in Breath of the Wild. When we return to it for Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity, it is quite a different sight to behold. Gone are the friendly markets and people roaming the streets — this is now a place being overrun by Yiga forces. In an early quest from Age of Calamity, the player must journey to the Gerudo Desert in the hopes of recruiting Urbosa, the Gerudo Chief....
This Agents of SHIELD review contains spoilers Agents of SHIELD Season 5 Episode 14 Well, you just knew that the honeymoon between Fitz and Simmons wouldn’t last forever, right? But who knew it wouldn’t even begin? This week hurt, you guys. I think we can all agree on that. With the warm and fuzzies still lingering from Simmons and Fitz’s wedding a few weeks back, the reveals this week just hurt....
This review contains spoilers for Agents of SHIELD. Agents of SHIELD Season 6 Episodes 12 & 13 Besides the welcome familiarity of the unexpected twists we’ve paradoxically come to expect from Agents of SHIELD, the season 6 finale benefits from a healthy dose of fearlessness. At this stage of the game, the show is unafraid to confound its own characters’ beliefs, and even though the defeat of Izel shut down the whole invasion with Night King simplicity (can this trope please die?...
All American is back for a Season 3 on The CW. The broadcast network renewed (along with almost all of its shows) All American for a third season, just a few weeks after All American Season 2 wrapped, no doubt partially influenced by the popularity of the sports drama on The CW. All American continues on Monday, April 19th with “Put Up or Shut Up.” Check out the promo below…...
Pokemon GO’s Throwback Challenge 2020 kicked off at the beginning of May, and so far it has focused on the Kanto, Johto, and Hoenn regions. Now it is time for that focus to shift once again, as PoGO’s Sinnoh Throwback event has officially arrived, and it has brought a number of new Timed Research tasks and rewards along with it. For those players that would like to see the full extent of these Sinnoh Throwback Challenge tasks and rewards, they have all been collected below....
Square Enix dropped a huge surprise on fans by revealing the next entry in their unbelievable long-running Final Fantasy franchise. While little is known about Final Fantasy XVI, the debut trailer showcased several iconic summons and heavily implies them to play a huge part in the narrative. With this in mind, fans’ minds are racing with possibilities as to what summons will make it into the final product. One wonders if these classic beasts will have personalities, or if they will just be connected to the story because of the people who have the ability to call them into battle....
Animal Crossing: New Horizons, the newest installment in the Animal Crossing franchise, has a lot of villagers that are able to visit or live on the player’s island, but what about the NPC’s that can’t live there? The game also has several travelers, shopkeepers/salesmen, and even a friendly ghost. With such a large list of interactable characters, it can be hard to keep track of them all. This list will cover ten of the NPC’s in the game that are able to visit the player’s island, what they do, when they will arrive, and any necessary conditions for their arrival....
As if there wasn’t already enough content in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, there’s a rumor going around that a Summer Update will bring a bunch of new features to our islands. Although the rumor started on 4chan before making its way to Reddit, the patch details are surprisingly realistic. Of course, it’s still 4chan — and there’s no way to validate the rumors — so don’t get your hopes up yet....
