The Rise Of Skywalker was supposed to be the movie in which General Leia Organa took center stage. Much like Han Solo in The Force Awakens and Luke Skywalker in The Last Jedi, Leia was set to play a major role in the final installment of Star Wars’ sequel trilogy. Sadly, Carrie Fisher’s tragic passing meant that fans never got to see that vision fully realized in the final movie. Having been chosen to replace Colin Trevorrow, returning director J....

Some would argue baseball doesn’t see as much representation in video games as sports like football, basketball, or soccer, but baseball games like Metalhead Software’s Super Mega Baseball 3 have been doing what they can to make up for it. The developer announced today that new modes will be coming to the game this Tuesday, September 29. In a time when Major League Baseball has had to fill empty stadiums with virtual fans, Super Mega Baseball 3’s next big mode, known as Online Leagues, will give players a way to enjoy the game together....

At least it was a short wait. Nintendo dropped the surprise announcement for Smash Bros. Ultimate’s seventh DLC fighter yesterday on Twitter, touching off a furious 24 hours of speculation on just who would be the next timeless video game character to take part in Nintendo’s popular brawler. At 10 AM this morning, a short presentation revealed that it would be Steve from Minecraft that will join the Super Smash Bros....

A lot of things can be and have been said about Pokemon Sword & Shield, but nobody can accuse the games of skimping out on rivals. Game Freak’s RPGs pair the main character, Victor or Gloria, with three recurring opponents, all of who are quite different. While perhaps the least crucial to the overall story, Marnie might reign supreme as the best rival in the games. Part of the trainer’s appeal is undoubtedly her design, with Marnie coming across as stylish, modern, and also unique....

You may be familiar with the MagSafe name due to the MacBook charging cable, but the technology - available on both iPhone 12 and iPhone 13 - is quite a different proposition on Apple’s smartphones. MagSafe for iPhone harnesses the magnets in the rear of the device, and, with the help of a compatible charger, ensures a perfectly aligned wireless charge every time. As you would expect, a whole pool of accessories has become available since MagSafe on iPhone was introduced in 2020 - both from Apple itself and third parties....

Several days ago, Xaviant Games openly admitted to concerns about the future of its studio following the rocky release of The Culling 2, with the company having stated that it would “have some admittedly difficult discussions” to make. Now, it seems as if the video game developer is prepared to ameliorate the situation as best as it can by following through with the decidedly tough task of completely pulling the battle royale sequel from the store shelves of Steam, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One....

Looking specifically at the video games, Assassin’s Creed has always been manned, literally, with male protagonists. The franchise, however, has been upping its inclusion of female protagonists for quite some time, instead of relegating them to background or secondary characters. This hasn’t always been the easiest representation, but given that Assassin’s Creed Ragnarok is rumored to feature a male or female protagonist named Jora, it’s worth looking at how their inclusion has evolved....

While Hitman 3 stole all the headlines this week, we’ve got a handful of out-of-the-box indie games that include an endless runner, an arena mech battler, and the physical release of bullet-hell like no other.

Immortals Fenyx Rising released last December, offering an exclusive demo on Google Stadia. Today, that demo is now available on PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch. Stadia’s Immortal demo was a great marketing tactic – not only did it give players a reason to check out the game streaming service, but it also gave Google a chance to show off it’s Click to Play technology, letting you quickly jump into a game with one click....

With HBO’s live-action adaptation of The Last of Us officially in the works, anticipation among fans is high to see how the original game’s story will translate to a non-interactive medium. For the most part, they can expect a faithful retelling of The Last of Us, though not without some noticeable changes, according to series creator and show executive producer Neil Druckmann. The Last of Us has spun one of the most critically-acclaimed narratives in gaming and beyond in the past decade, one that many would argue is a perfect fit for prestige television....

Ocarina of Time and Majora’s Mask are unquestionably two of the greatest video games of all time. These two games alone are enough to elevate the Nintendo 64 to legendary heights, to say nothing of The Legend of Zelda franchise. They are two of the most inspired games in the series, defining Zelda at its best. Naturally, the console is home to some of the best dungeons in the Zelda franchise, but there are a few not so stellar dungeons littered about....

The Mandalorian made its debut as part of the initial Disney+ lineup, leading the charge as the platform’s biggest original production and service seller. Since then it’s grown to be one of television’s most popular shows, receiving positive reviews for its plot development and quite a lot of praise for its revolutionary use of technology in filming. All that might not be enough to challenge Netflix’s constant delivery of shows or even the share of streaming capped by The Boys, because according to Reelgood, The Mandalorian’s season 2 premiere scooped 5....

This Star Trek: Prodigy article contains spoilers through Episode 6. For its first five episodes, Star Trek: Prodigy has mostly established its own identity, free and separate from the rest of the Trek franchise. Yes, a holographic Captain Janeway is an essential part of the crew, and yes, several episodes have touched on themes we’ve seen before. But, in terms of making nitty-gritty references to the larger canon of Trek, Prodigy has kept things pretty low-key....

In the time since its launch there haven’t been too many eye-catching mods for Star Wars Battlefront 2, likely because the PC version of the game doesn’t boast as booming of a modding community as past DICE games. However, we have stumbled across a fun mod for Han Solo that is sure to please the Disney fans out there. A modder named FruitBytheFett was able to put together some custom armor for Han Solo in the multiplayer version of the game....

Steven Spielberg’s Director’s Chair, a simulation video game developed by Knowledge Adventure for Windows and Macintosh, was released in 1996.

Originally developed to help aspiring directors understand the filmmaking process, the game has been redesigned by Paolo Pedercini and is now available online under the title Director’s Choices....

Snow Stalker Fur is an essential crafting material to create the Cold Suit, which comes in three parts: the Cold Suit, the Cold Suit Gloves, and the Cold Suit Helmet. You need four pieces of fur in total to craft the whole suit.
