While Electronic Arts and DICE are likely to keep the most exciting information about Star Wars Battlefront 2 secret until E3, the publisher and developer have provided a bit of good information already about the sci-fi shooter sequel. Most recently, Star Wars Battlefront 2 game designer Christian Johannesén revealed on Twitter that gamers will be able to unlock all the content from the Deluxe Edition of the game just by playing....

Star Wars is a cornerstone sci-fi franchise that’s been defining the genre and expanding as a universe since it first appeared back in the ’70s. It’s no surprise that such a powerful series spilled over into media besides film, and that includes video games. Even in the last few years, Star Wars fans have gotten some broad choices, from Star Wars Battlefront 2 game to Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order to the upcoming LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga....

Assassin’s Creed Valhalla will see hiding in plain sight return to the popular franchise. Early in the Assassin’s Creed series, protagonists were synonymous with their stark white cloaks and hoods as they hid amongst the crowds before sticking their unwitting targets with their hidden blades. As the series progressed, these stealth mechanics gave way to a focus on combat with RPG elements thrown in, as well as customizable outfits meant to set you apart from the masses rather than blend in....

There are loads of different bosses in Terraria. These resilient and sometimes totally bizarre creatures are the main driving force of progression in Terraria. Everything you do in the game is basically prepping yourself for the next boss fight. From the very early days of battling Green slimes with a copper shortsword to finally defeating the Moon Lord and crowning yourself a ruler of Terraria, the adventure through Terraria’s many bosses can seem confusing for brand new players....

Is this an indicator of poor quality? Not at all! With each console you get two authentically retro three-button Genesis controllers that feel just like the real thing and a collection of 42 Genesis classic titles that will play just like you remember them. Maybe even better, given the fact that you’ll likely be displaying this console on a snazzy HD TV. Genesis truly was the console of sequels. You have great titles like Street Fighter II, Streets of Rage 2, Sonic the Hedgehog 2, and Road Rash II....

No one type of movie better defines eighties cinema than that of the action movie. With their breathtaking practical effects, high-octane soundtracks and reassuringly predictable plotlines, the decade boasts some of the very best movies that the genre has to offer even to this day. It was the era of the action hero, who, unlike modern protagonists, were defined not only by their bulging muscles and devastating combat skills, but also their obnoxious one-liners and cheesy catchphrases....

It’s not all bad news however, while The Batman is officially delayed to 2022, The Matrix 4, in a surprising move, has actually been pushed up to 2021....

This Star Wars: The Book of Boba Fett article contains spoilers. In the flashback portion of The Book of Boba Fett episode 2, “The Tribes of Tatooine,” Boba Fett is on the hunt for something that can help the Tusken Raiders take down the Pyke Syndicate’s hovertrain, but it isn’t power converters.

Crash: On The Run is everything wrong with mobile games today. King Games’ Crash-themed endless runner uses every dirty trick in the book to aggressively nickel and dime players into oblivion. It’s actually astounding how textbook On The Run is with manipulative, predatory tactics while simultaneously offering so little in the way of meaningful content. It’s a skinner box if there ever was one, and it reinforces a reputation that mobile games have for being low-effort cash grabs....

The Division’s creative director reveals that the developer initially considered adding a skip level microtransaction that would allow players to take a shortcut.

The film’s journey actually started in the 90s, when Wesley Snipes first attempted to get a Black Panther adaptation off the ground....

Naughty Dog made sure to let fans know about a couple of years ago that The Last of Us: Part 2 will focus on Ellie as the main character in the forthcoming PlayStation 4 exclusive survival horror release. While Ellie is going to be the primary vessel through whom players will experience the sequel’s story, the developer recently revealed that the game may feature more than one playable character. This much was divulged by The Last of Us: Part 2’s co-lead gameplay designer Emilia Schatz in an interview with JeuxAct, with the Naughty Dog developer saying that the studio is only ready to show gameplay for Ellie so far, but it could be prepared to unveil footage of a new playable character in the future....

Our quick take The Last of Us Part 1 - 5.0 / 5 The first of us Once upon a time What one hand giveth… To recap In all honesty, you could remake The Last of Us from mash potato and it’d still be the best game around.

Known for her confidence, flamboyance, and theatrical performance, Ursula is probably one of the most well-known villains of Disney. For kids who grew up with her, their adult selves can probably summon her iconic cackle or voice in their heads on a whim. Or is that just me? With Ursula being based off a minor character in the original fairytale, her character in The Little Mermaid is basically all Disney’s version....
