Critically speaking, the 2013 reboot of the Tomb Raider series did incredibly well for itself. An origins story about Lara Croft’s very first expedition, Crystal Dynamics’ take on the adventurous beginnings of one of gaming’s most well known protagonists (and one of its few female leads) exchanged the series’ oft-seen focus on breast jiggle physics for a gripping supernatural story. Despite the review performance of the game, the high development costs of Tomb Raider and the game’s failure to meet publisher Square Enix’s sales expectations saw the future of the longstanding series thrown into jeopardy....

We’ll always be a little bit biased when it comes to Nintendo. A lot of new-age gamers grew up during a time in which Nintendo, Microsoft, and Sony, were constantly battling against one another for video game supremacy. Us older gamers, though, remember a time in which Nintendo stood out as the sole provider of video games, only ending up in a “war” with Sega later on. Since each company had its own unique lineup of games, dedicated players usually ended up owning both systems with allowed each company to thrive....

Just like the majority of my obsessions and hyper-fixations, my intense, unending, and all-consuming love for the live-action Josie and the Pussycats movie started when I was just a little girl. When I was around five years old, I found myself up to my ears in an obsession with the Archie Comics series. So imagine my intense surprise and excitement when I found out that they were making a film adaption based on some of my favorite side characters from those comic books I cherished....

It’s almost cruel to talk about the best RPGs ever made. Not only is it the kind of topic that inspires especially heated debates, but even a shortlist of the greatest RPGs ever may leave you desperately trying to find the time to somehow play them all. Then again, the thing that separates the best RPGs from the rest is that they never really make you feel like you’re in a rush to “beat” them or move on to the next thing....

While I love the world that J.K. Rowling has created for us, I have to say that sometimes I find myself being drawn to the things that fans, amateurs, and everyday folks, like you and me, have to say about the world more interesting than the established canon. Don’t get me wrong, Jo did an amazing job creating an intricate, fulfilling, and beautiful world. But sometimes your average, every day readers notice or think of something that the author never did....

2K Games has decided to give its yearly wrestling series a break following the lackluster performance of WWE 2K20, and in place of WWE 2K21 will be releasing an arcade-style spin-off called WWE 2K Battlegrounds. In its original announcement from April 27 2K Games said, “We’ve also heard your requests to keep the WWE 2K19 servers running; they will remain active for the time being.” However, an in-game message appeared to contradict that sentiment this week....

The Pokémon franchise shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon and it only continues to expand with each passing year. The amount of people playing the games and watching the anime has only continued to increase as time goes on. With a game series as far-reaching and as iconic as Pokémon has been since the release of the first game in February 1996, it’s easy to see why so many have created various works of art related to the series....

Serving as a stopgap prior to the release of the highly anticipated Avengers: Endgame, Captain Marvel is currently available to see in theatres around the globe. Starring Brie Larson as the titular hero, Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck’s blockbuster blends elements from various Captain Marvel storylines, particularly 1971’s Kree-Skrull War and Kelly Sue DeConnick’s 2012 Captain Marvel. As a character, Carol Danvers has been around since the late 60s, although she only inherited the Captain Marvel moniker during the current decade....

More than Elves and Dwarves, Hobbits are one of J.R.R. Tolkien’s greatest creations. They were unique to his world of Middle-Earth, and despite their short stature, their influence on the fantasy genre has been immense. No Dungeons & Dragons game could be complete without one halfling, am I right? Plus, the idea of a member of a sheltered society going off to have an adventure is one of the best tropes in fantasy....

Landlocked diver On a small piece of land worn away by the wash of the sea sits a diver apparently landlocked and constantly struggling to get back to the waters below. A bear fishing for his lunch This brilliant aerial photograph shows a bear casually sitting in the river fishing for his lunch.

Over the past couple of decades, board games have been stumbling into a recession, likely due to more children ditching traditional toys and board games in favor of gadgets and electronics. Yet, in the 90s, kids couldn’t make their way through a Saturday morning cartoon marathon without viewing an onslaught of board game commercials. There’s a good chance even as adults, 90s kids can still remember those commercial jingles today....

Starting June 18, you can buy the gorgeous Demon’s Souls vinyl online. The vinyl contains 21 tracks from Demon’s Souls PS5 Remake. While June may seem like a long time from now, you can also pre-order this vinyl on a few different websites, to ensure that you are listening in time. Earlier in November 2020, Bluepoint Games released a remastered version of Demon’s Souls for PS5. The game received incredibly positive reviews from all around the internet, with TheGamer saying it is “the best PlayStation launch game ever....

If the first season of A Discovery of Witches was like cooler, sexier Twilight for grown ups then season two might be likened to the later, less sexy installments of that saga. There’s nothing that ruins a fizzy will-they-won’t-they relationship like the couple getting together and being happily in love. Season two finds our protagonists witch Diana (Teresa Palmer) and vampire Matthew (Matthew Goode) hiding in time. Just beginning to get a handle on her considerable powers, Diana has discovered she’s a ‘timewalker’ and transported her and Matthew back to Elizabethan era London where the two plan to search for The Book Of Life, or Ashmole 782, the ancient text which is said to contain the secrets of witches, vampires and demons and may help to explain why these creatures’ power is diminished in the modern day (the major concern of season one)....

Both Activision Blizzard and Electronic Arts have been targeted by the American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations (AFL-CIO) via a proposal to modify the companies’ hiring practices. In letters from the AFL-CIO to the Securities and Exchange Commission, it said Activision Blizzard and Electronic Arts should implement hiring practices based on the Rooney Rule. While EA said it will consider the proposal, Activision Blizzard rejected the proposal in a letter sent by its attorneys....

Activision Blizzard is currently under investigation following accusations of harassment, discrimination, and fostering a hostile work environment. You can read more about the investigation here. In a statement regarding Microsoft’s stunning acquisition of Activision Blizzard, controversial Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick (who may be on his way out of the company as a result of this deal) shed a little light on why Activision Blizzard agreed to this massive purchase and what it means for everyone moving forward....

Twitch. Is there anything it can’t do? This is not just a place to watch our favourite content creators doing their thing. This is a place where miracles happen. Will the combined powers of a Twitch chat’s users be able to complete The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past? You’d better believe they will. The whole curious Twitch Plays… phenomenon began with an emulated copy of Pokémon Red. Anybody who hopped in could enter some of the game’s simple commands (Up, Down, A, B and such), and so several hundred people were all playing the game simultaneously....

Since rare enemy spawn rates have been buffed permanently, rare enemies are now a bit more of an efficient way of getting legendary items in Borderlands 3. With the new Guns, Love, and Tentacles DLC there are new rare enemies for players to hunt for and earn their new exclusive legendary loot. Finding rare spawning enemies can be quite tedious in Borderlands 3 as they do not always spawn and can be easily missed the first time around....

“Frazzini’s lack of experience in video games showed during project review sessions,” wrote Bloomberg, noting that he’d ask inane questions that had little to do with the game itself. He’s also asked employees to “chase a new trend,” leading to the development of a canceled League of Legends and Fortnite clone before finally settling on a copy of Overwatch’s hero shooter formula. That game turned out to be Crucible, which released to tepid reviews and even worse player counts....

In Twitch’s Weekly Gaming Show on October 1, the InnerSloth team discussed new ideas for improving its popular murder mystery title Among Us. The most exciting of these ideas revolved around the Ghosts, and how to improve the player experience once they’ve been killed. Among Us, originally released in late 2018, focuses on a crew of 7-10 spacefaring beings working to complete a set of tasks on a space station, while also trying to find the murderous imposters before it’s too late....
