As has been toted by a mixture of critics and consumers, Half-Life: Alyx is easily one of the most innovative VR games ever made. From its immersive level design and realistic shooting to its incredible special effects and detailed story, it’s evidently a big next step for virtual reality that highlights just how much the perspective can add to an experience. It seems, however, that the game might be more multifaceted than even Valve expected, with a new video showcasing just how much can be achieved throughout Half-Life: Alyx’s unique set of systems....

There are over 30 bosses, ten biomes, and 20 different types of ore in Terraria. It’s going to be hard trying to figure out where to start first if you’ve only now gotten your hands on the second most famous pixel-block crafting game to date. You can wander aimlessly and accidentally summon the Eye Of Cthulhu and find some expert armor, but if you’re someone who likes order or finds themselves lost at the beginning of the game, there are some key things you should be doing....

Leading up to and following the release of Biomutant, comments on the size of the game’s world have become common. Despite how large it may be and how many quests there are to do, Biomutant is not the first game to have a sprawling overworld. Game environments have continued to grow, becoming more expansive and dense. While there are many games that take place in modern-day settings like huge cities, there are also a number of post-apocalyptic titles that make the most of their ruined worlds....

TheGamer’s report that PlayStation will be closing its PS3, PSP, and PS Vita stores was confirmed last month. That has understandably resulted in a lot of backlash from console owners, especially those who still own and use one or more of those systems. While Xbox appears to be doing everything it possibly can to preserve its history via Game Pass and backwards compatibility, PlayStation continues to give off the impression that it doesn’t really care about its history at all....

It’s quite possible the 90s started a pop culture obsession with Dinosaurs. Youngsters were always a bit drawn to these magnificent creatures and adults can definitely appreciate these monstrous beasts that once roamed our Earth. But there’s no denying that Jurassic Park helped to put dinosaurs firmly on the map as an entertainment source, specifically in movies and games. The Dino Crisis series became an instant cult classic, as did the classic Jurassic Park games....

Neil Marshall’s horror film The Descent stands as something of an anomaly for aficionados of both feminist and horror cinema. In a genre often populated with overtly sexual female protagonists who are, as The Cabin in the Woods ironically points out, either killed off first (but not before we are privy to a little tits and ass) or maternal figures—think The Ring, Mama, The Exorcist, and most recently The Babadook—the women we see in horror films are often polarized opposites....

Newcomers to Tom Clancy’s The Division’s Underground DLC will want to follow this helpful tip in order to farm loot as quickly as possible with a little bit of planning. Anyone who has played Tom Clancy’s The Division will agree that the goal to most experiences is getting better loot as quickly as possible. Not every source of loot has been entirely legit in The Division, but there are a few new ones added with the Underground DLC that have become go-to sources....

ZeniMax Online Studios’ The Elder Scrolls Online is partnering with Modiphius Entertainment to bring the iconic MMO to tabletop gaming. Modiphius will be creating an ESO product line for its tabletop wargame The Elder Scrolls: Call to Arms, to be released in 2021. Modiphius Entertainment is a U.K. publisher of role-playing games, board games, miniatures, novels, and more. Previously, it had created a Bethesda property in the form of the tabletop game Fallout: Wasteland Warfare....

It’s been mused before that Hugh Jackman was born in the wrong era. As an immensely talented song and dance man, he would have ruled on high from Vaudeville and the glitzy black and white toe-tappers that were the closest the Depression generation came to superhero events. Yet even with multiple Tonys and an Oscar nomination for Les Miserables under his belt, Jackman’s desire to truly bring that kind of unabashed conviviality back to the mainstream has never been so fully realized as in The Greatest Showman....

If you thought the Universal Monsters were finished after the “Dark Universe” roundly failed, look again. Under the eye of low-budget movie producer Jason Blum and his frequent collaborator director Leigh Whannell, The Invisible Man has been completely reinvented in a way that feels fresh, contemporary, relevant and at times very scary. Focusing not on the character of the invisible man but his victim, this is a story about domestic abuse and the horror of not being believed....

Switching between weapons in The Last of Us: Part II is cumbersome, to say the least (while putting it nicely). While in the middle of an intense firefight or during the chaos of fighting a horde of infected, the last thing that you should be doing is fumbling through the D-pad process of switching weapons, should you run out of ammo or need a quick-change instead of taking the time to reload....

Naughty Dog strives for perfection with each one of its games, but that kind of attitude does come at a human cost. For years, Naughty Dog has been criticized for crunch culture, where it expects employees to work absurd hours in order to finish a game’s development on time. As it so happens, there appear to be a couple of instances in The Last of Us 2 where Naughty Dog’s crunch culture is referenced, but it’s done so in a joking, tongue-in-cheek way instead of treating the problem seriously....

The Last Of Us and The Last Of Us 2 are no joke. However, fans beg to differ by creating hundreds of memes about the game. Players understand the importance of protagonist Ellie since she is the reason humankind is not dying altogether. She has a dark past and a rich personality which are qualities that players take seriously throughout the game. Sometimes she’s fun to laugh at though. Many fans dedicate their time to creating countless memes about Ellie that players cannot resist....

The Legend Of Zelda remains one of the quintessential gaming icons of all time with a vast amount of games in the series spread across multiple timelines that get even the most dedicated fans confused. Well even though The Legend Of Zelda is a beloved series with many classic games, there have been some games that did not sell as well as Nintendo might have hoped and have become gems to be rediscovered through the internet....

The Matrix Resurrections revives Neo and Trinity from one more adventure inside the simulation. Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss reprise the roles that made them sci-fi legends at the turn of the century, and they’re bringing a few other franchise veterans with them. Among the other returners are Daniel Bernhardt as Agent Johnson, Lambert Wilson as an older and disheveled Merovingian, and Jada Pinkett Smith as Niobe. We’ve already seen our first glimpse at the Merovingian, who’s clearly fallen on hard times since he last tormented our heroes during a deadly bondage rave inside the Matrix, and now a new trailer finally shows Smith back as Niobe....

The long-awaited PC space combat and flight simulator from Cloud Imperium Games announces Star Citizen’s reaching of $100 million in its crowdfunding campaign. As most gaming fans are aware, Star Citizen has long since held the world record as being the most successfully crowdfunded project of any kind in history once it made $63 million last year. Now, Cloud Imperium Games has revealed that Star Citizen has completely obliterated its original goals by obtaining an absolutely massive sum of more than $100 million from backers....

This Star Trek: Lower Decks review contains spoilers. One of the reasons Star Trek is is so resilient is that it has the ability to dip into a variety of genres. From whodunnit mystery to gothic romance to several straight-up westerns, Trek is much more than a simple space opera. But, the one genre we sometimes forget that Star Trek freaking loves is the courtroom drama. In the latest episode of Star Trek: Lower Decks, the crew of the USS Cerritos reminds us that for whatever reason, sometimes the best way to explore the Final Frontier is inside of something that looks like a courtroom....

In “The Heiress,” The Mandalorian finally brought a fan-favorite animated series character from The Clone Wars and Rebels to live-action. Played by the brilliant Katee Sackhoff, Bo-Katan comes to life as a seasoned Mandalorian leader who is as deadly on the battlefield as she ever was.

Star Wars fans will be very pleased to know that Star Wars: The High Republic begins today. Lucasfilm debuted the trailer yesterday in a special live-stream presentation, and it looks different to anything fans have seen from them before. The trailer describes The High Republic as “an interconnected mega story told across books, comics, and magazines.” It’s set 200 years before The Phantom Menace, meaning it’ll have no attachments to the Skywalker Saga....
