If Zack Snyder could sustain the same amount of energy and panache that he brings to the opening credits sequences of his films throughout the rest of their runtimes, he’d be an auteur worthy of the adoring, yet occasionally toxic fanbase that’s long tormented Warner Brothers Pictures. His latest project, Army of the Dead, is no different. Snyder, a master of shot composition and striking imagery, fills the title sequence of his latest zombie flick with arresting visuals, such as an elderly man being mauled while his jackpot winnings spew from a nearby slot like the blood from his wounds....

In a set of beautiful images posted on Reddit, user parxy_art1 reimagined all of the Pokemon Gen 3 starters for a fictitious Hyrule region. They drew inspiration from the Lizalfos, Cuccos, and Zoras from a variety of Legend of Zelda titles. The third-generation starters, Treecko, Torchic, and Mudkip, are from the Hoenn region and came about in Pokemon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald. As one of the most exciting parts of a new Pokemon game, the starters are always heavily anticipated and scrutinized....

Throughout the Assassin’s Creed games, there are plenty of outfits that were designed for the protagonists, each of which helped not only to represent the era that it came from, but also establish the character’s journey. Ezio, for example, had three games in total, and had multiple armor sets and outfits based around him. These armors helped to either elevate or hinder the base character designs in their respective games. As such, here’s every armor from the Assassin’s CreedEzio trilogy, ranked....

Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is, at points, far too large for what it wants to do. I think the story it tells is compelling - excellent, even, at least when it is allowed to take centre stage. But the in-between bits can be dull and draining. If a plot point is especially tense, right, but I have to gallop across acres - nay, hectares - of flat green meadows to earn the next one, I’m going to inadvertently end up on auto-pilot before going, “Oh yeah, that happened - remember that?...

Assassin’s Creed has officially gone AFK, as AFK Arena - the hit mobile RPG game - has added Ezio of Assassin’s Creed as a playable character. Even better, Ezio is available to all players for free for a limited time. Yesterday, Lilith Games and Ubisoft announced that the popular Assassin’s Creed character would be added to the mobile game, with Lilith Games’ Xiao Dong, Producer of AFK Arena, stating, “We’re excited to see AFK Arena’s core audience continuing to explode across the globe and we’re thrilled to add Ezio from Assassin’s Creed to our hero lineup from today....

The best part about Assassin’s Creed games is that they relate back to actual historical facts and make a point to add prominent historical figures. Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is no different as both legendary Vikings and Saxons alike were added into the story for you to meet. They come from various points in time, but they are all important to the path that history took back in the day of the Vikings....

Since 1999, the adult animated series Family Guy has been a regular staple of late night tv. The series creator Seth Macfarlane was only 24 years old when the show started, and since then has risen to prominent stardom largely thanks to the show’s loyal fan base. Twice the show was cancelled by Fox, and twice it was brought back due to the strength of DVD sales. It was also the first show in television history to be brought back from DVD sales alone....

One of the most enticing aspects of GTA Online is the freedom and diversity that it offers to its players. There are just so many options to choose from in this massively chaotic online playground! Players can basically be whoever they want to be, of course, if they have the funds for it, that is. Whether players want to be a thug or a CEO, a fashionista or trendsetter, or perhaps if they prefer to be competitive, insanely aggressive or just downright passive, they can choose to do so in the game....

Avengers: Infinity War hit the theaters with a vengeance — no pun intended. The movie has been breaking multiple records both set by the MCU itself and the box office. Fans have been waiting for this for years. This phase has been building for a really long time and since the first few Marvel films came out, fans everywhere were really hoping that we’d see an epic showdown like this. Whether you’re a fan of the original comics, a fan of just the movies or even a fan of both, everyone loved this film....

With the PlayStation 5 finally launching this November, many gamers are saying goodbye to the PlayStation 4 consoles that have been on the market since 2013. Some long-requested upgrades to functionality and player convenience have been just a few of the improvements immediately available to early adopters of the PS5. While the PlayStation 5 has introduced a multitude of improvements for gamers going into the next generation of video games, there are several key features and memories from the PlayStation 4 era that will be missed and remembered fondly....

The Slayer of Demons seems to be fitter, stronger, and faster than ever before on PS5. Completing Demon’s Souls in under twenty minutes? Bug or no bug, that’s super impressive. The next generation of gaming has become the current generation, and those who have managed to get their hands on one have a PS5 safely nestled in their homes (the launch was a huge success despite the difficultly of nabbing a console)....

Our quick take Acer Aspire S3 Ultrabook - 3.5 / 5 Design Keyboard and screen Windows 7 as standard Performance To recap From the outside the Acer Aspire S3 looks like a charmer. But open it up and the bunched-up keyboard and so-so screen resolution with equally so-so viewing angle are two big issues with this model. Performance from the Intel i7 processor and 4GB of RAM (in this particular Intel i7 model) is decent and will deal with all manner of tasks, but the S3 just doesn’t have that luxury, long-term appeal that many demanding users will expect for the £899 outlay....

While Activision’s Call of Duty franchise is going strong in the states, there are other parts of the world where the shooter series could use a huge boost. Among those areas is China, home to a very different type of gamer than your typical modern military FPS fan for several different reasons. See, in China, the sale of consoles has been banned since 2000, leaving many gamers with two options: purchase their consoles on the black market or head over to the local Internet café....

Since the console’s launch, there have been a number of growing pains surrounding the Xbox Series X, especially in the UK. Back in November, following the UK’s nationwide lockdown, the Xbox Series X still managed to make its way into the hands of consumers who had pre-ordered the console, but the coronavirus pandemic definitely slowed down the process. Similar to WonkieDonk, a woman who ordered a PS5 instead received an air fryer for no apparent reason....

Our quick take Designed to be sturdy Polycarbonate body Finishes: Black, Twilight Blue, Plum, Sage Measures: 192 x 115 x 9.6mm / Weighs: 286g Updated hardware for a mite more speed 7-inch, 1024 x 600 resolution (171ppi) display Quad-core 1.3GHz processor, 1GB RAM 16/32GB storage, microSD (to 512MB) Battery life 7 hours battery life per charge Micro-USB recharging Software and interface To recap While this 7-inch tablet’s hardware could be faster, the design could be more exciting and the battery life longer, that would detract from the amazing bargain that the Fire 7 is....

“You know, I’m actually playing Mass Effect right now, because the Legendary Edition was released,” Jack Wall, composer of the first two Mass Effect games and the four most recent Call of Duty Black Ops games tells me. “I decided to get it and give it a shot. It’s just funny, how we implemented the music back then was not great. And they really didn’t improve on that at all, unfortunately, but I wish they had....

Tom Nook started out as a small shop owner and has since grown with the series to become a real estate Tycoon. During our time in the Animal Crossing series, we have seen him run a shop, be a loan breaker, open a real estate business, and even offer home remodels. Now that he has made a substantial amount of income, he has decided to find new ways to try and build wealth quickly....

Animal Crossing: New Horizons is the latest entry in the beloved franchise, and fans can’t get enough of it on the Nintendo Switch. Animal Crossing has always been a mainstay for Nintendo, but the series is seeing all-time high numbers in terms of sales and this latest entry will likely break every sales record in the franchise. Animal Crossing: New Horizons does a great job at modernizing the familiar while also introducing plenty of new features....

In Animal Crossing New Horizons, the way many players get their Bells is by selling fish and bugs. Each kind has a different price though, and so players often try to fish after shadows of a certain size and only catch certain bugs. This is because there are some bugs and fish that are just not worth the effort. You would be better off selling DIY projects made of garbage than some of these creatures....
