PayPal once again reveals the official start date of the Steam Winter Sale, confirming previous information that was leaked at the very beginning of December. Christmas can be an expensive time of year, considering all the gifts that have to be bought, the amount of food that every household has to stock up on, the distance we’re expected to travel to see friends and relatives, and the number of festive social events we all end up being invited to....

Video games have been the focus of many studies over the past decade. More often than not, these studies tend to be about the correlation between video games and youth violence. While some will cite old studies saying that video games can lead to aggressive behavior, a new study is now claiming what many have said for years: there is no correlation. While some may say that video games have led to increased violence in young people, many studies have found this to not be the case....

Marvel’s Avengers may have gotten off to a rocky start, but the updates are still trickling in. It looks like Iron Man is next on the list to receive a fancy new outfit, in the form of his iconic Superior Iron Man skin. The Superior Iron Man skin was shown by Kinda Funny CEO Greg Miller on Twitter. While not an exact replica from a comic look, the new Marvel’s Avengers skin looks pretty impressive with a black-silver paint job, unique Arc Reactor design, and a complete absence of the face mask....

This article contains Superman & Lois spoilers. There’s no question that Superman & Lois really knows its stuff. The first episode was a genuine love letter to Superman history, and proved once and for all that you can do a faithful, reverent take on the Man of Steel legend without just retreading stuff people have seen a thousand times. Superman & Lois episode 2 digs a little bit deeper for its lore, but once again pulls tons of terrific deep cuts from both DC Comics and the character’s history in movies and on TV....

Combat is what holds a Tales game together. The stories in this JRPG series are often generic, telling tales (sorry) about a world mirroring our own just beyond a metaphysical veil that separates us, or childhood friends struggling to connect throughout their adult years. Anime melodrama aside, combat has always been the series’ saving grace. So it’s no surprise that the time I spent with Tales of Arise as part of a recent preview seemed built specifically to give me just enough time to appreciate the combat, and little else....

If you were to create a list of the games from the past 20 years and offer them up as having the potential of getting an HD remake, it would be hard to top Final Fantasy VII. While some other notable Sony exclusives have received the HD facelift during the past five years or so, none were of the same status as FFVII. Though fans have been clamoring for it for the better part of a decade Square Enix’s Tetsuya Nomura says that a Final Fantasy VII remake is not coming any time soon....

Ah, Portal 2. While the allure of its mind-bending puzzles, and the witty, malevolent charm of its antagonists may be evergreen, it wouldn’t hurt to have some new levels to play through once in a while. It’s been six long months since the release of Portal 2’s Peer Review DLC, but the wait for new content is nearly at an end – the only catch is, you’ll have to make it yourself....

The San Diego Comic-Con is one of the biggest events in the states for cosplayers all over the world.

These outfits are designed to perfection in areas of television, comics, video games, and more. We have compiled a list solely composed of cosplay outfits that resemble some of our favorite video games....

Even in a world filled with consoles, ways to play, and a booming industry, few game franchises can reach the status of the Final Fantasy series. It remains a long and storied video game franchise that dates back to the original Nintendo. The hallmark that separates the series from the rest is the creator’s attention to detail when crafting their characters, from Cloud, Tidus, Tifa, Auron, and even Squall; they all remain memorable and compelling characters to this day....

Dragon Age: Inquisition is no Dark Souls, but its also not the easiest game out there. This is especially dependent on the difficulty setting the player chooses. On harder difficulties, equipment matters more than ever. It makes the difference between life and death. Luckily, the crafting system in Inquisition is very easy to understand. It is in crafting schematics with the highest quality resources that create the best weapons in the game....

Every new season debut comes a slew of meta changes for players in Smite. New items, a new map, and god balance changes all impact how good a character is at any given time. Gods that were good last season could become obsolete or they could be better than ever. The latest map is significantly wider than the previous one, meaning that rotations throughout the map are more commital and take much longer....

Netflix movie The Devil All the Time has released its first trailer, showcasing an impressive ensemble within a bleak piece of dramatic Gothic Americana. Indeed, the film is headlined by Marvel’s current big screen Spider-Man, Tom Holland, opposite DC’s imminently-debuting big screen Batman, Robert Pattinson, setting up a collision course of characters so seemingly epic, it might just make you forget to wish they were in their respective crimefighting outfits....

The complete list of patch notes for The Division’s day one update has been officially revealed, including numerous updates and fixes to the game on release. Like many games these days, it seems The Division will be releasing with a day 1 patch. These patches are often used to correct any last-minute issues with the game, as well as making any changes that the developers think is necessary. According to a statement from Ubisoft, the company received an overwhelming amount of feedback from the game’s open and closed beta testing periods....

This The Flash review contains spoilers. The Flash Season 6 Episode 9 Well. Here we are. “Crisis on Infinite Earths Part Three” is the big one. It’s THE episode we’ve been waiting for since the very first episode of The Flash. The one we knew that Greg Berlanti, Marc Guggenheim and friends always wanted to do so badly that they baked it into the very concept of the series from the pilot....

Paramount announced it will release a new edit and restoration of Francis Ford Coppola’s The Godfather Part III. The new version of the final chapter of the epic crime saga, now titled Mario Puzo’s The Godfather, Coda: The Death of Michael Corleone, will receive a limited theatrical release in December before being released on digital and disc format. Released in 1990, The Godfather Part III served as the closing chapter of the Godfather trilogy and followed an older Michael Corleone attempting to atone for the sins he committed as the don of the Corleone crime family....

James Cameron’s Spider-Man. Kind of has a nice ring to it, don’t you think? Well, unlike the fictional James Cameron’s Aquaman–of which only a few fleeting seconds exist in the universe of the long-defunct HBO series Entourage–a Spider-Man movie written and directed by the legendary filmmaker almost came to pass in the early 1990s. But like so many superhero and comics-based projects during that time–a relative Dark Ages for the genre–Cameron’s vision for the webslinging high school student never swung into theaters....

The developers at Team Ico provide a brand new trailer of its forthcoming action-adventure title The Last Guardian for GameStop Expo 2016’s livestream. Despite recently being delayed again, with it now releasing in December of this year instead of October, Team Ico’s The Last Guardian has put out a brand new trailer during a Gamestop Expo livestream, showing off some fresh gameplay footage. Although the studio behind the action-adventure title gave fans a glimpse at several different areas and in-game scenarios with high resolution screenshots not too long ago, the trailer offers a better idea of the ways in which the young boy protagonist and the half-bird-half-mammal creature known as Trico interact with one another...

The Last Guardian is a must-play for fans, but it struggles under the weight of years worth of anticipation, due in large part to troublesome AI and a finicky camera. After 9 years, numerous delays, and one presumed cancellation, The Last Guardian has finally arrived. Developer Team Ico knew that its pedigree and success with titles like Ico and Shadow of the Colossus would put a lot of weight onto the shoulders of The Last Guardian, but even that’s an understatement at this point....

The Last of Us 2 has finally come, and it has been met with extremely mixed reception. Some are absolutely in love with the game, as it brings back the first entry’s grippingly tense combat, scavenging, and heart-wrenching story moments. On the other hand, many aren’t happy with the direction the story went, causing them to denounce the game, with many even review bombing The Last of Us’ highly anticipated sequel....
