Star Trek Strange New Worlds Episode 8 Review The Elysian Kingdom

The Star Trek: Strange New Worlds review contains spoilers. Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Episode 8 One of the downsides of our current era of Peak Prestige TV is the assumption that, in order to be good, something must also be deadly serious. This seems to be doubly true if we’re talking about a genre property, which these days tend to be peppered with bleak, grimdark depictions of authoritarian military regimes, insidious robot overlords, or widespread climate disasters....

Starfield Is Reportedly Exclusive To Xbox And Pc Won T Release On Playstation

PlayStation players who were looking forward to Bethesda’s upcoming RPG Starfield might be disappointed, as it’s reportedly going to be exclusive to Xbox and PC. This report comes from VentureBeat reporter and gaming insider Jeff Grubb, who Tweeted, “Starfield is exclusive to Xbox and PC. Period. This is me confirming that”. Jeff Grubb has previously been pretty spot-on with his leaks and rumours, so it’s likely that Starfield isn’t coming to PlayStation consoles anytime soon....

Steam Is Under Fire For Allowing Developers To Manipulate Upcoming Releases List

Steam may be allowing video game developers too much leeway in setting their own release dates, one developer argued on Twitter. The Popular Upcoming list on Steam helps games to get noticed, said Mike Rose, founder of the No More Robots publisher that will (legitimately, he assures us) release Hypnospace Outlaw on March 12. However, in a Twitter thread, he said that Steam’s system can be manipulated under the wrong circumstances....

Street Fighter 5 Player Wins Match With Booger Flick

Towards the end of July, Capcom launched the Street Fighter 5 beta on PS4, giving console players their first chance at seeing what the upcoming fighting game was all about. Unfortunately, despite all of the hype surrounding the beta, Capcom’s servers were unable to cope with the amount of players beating virtual lumps out of each other and so the servers had to be taken down several times for maintenance. After maintenance periods failed to get the servers back on track, Capcom ended up postponing the beta altogether, promising that it would be back at a later date....

Super Nintendo World At Universal Orlando Has Been Delayed Indefinitely

The year 2020 just keeps getting worse and worse - Universal Studios Orlando’s Super Nintendo World theme park has been delayed indefinitely. This disappointing (while not entirely surprising) news was confirmed yesterday. Orlando’s Super Nintendo World was originally intended to open in 2023 as part of a major expansion to the Universal Studios called “Epic Universe”, a brand new theme park area that spanned across 750 acres of land and featured brand new restaurants, hotels, and the highly anticipated Super Nintendo World park....

Super Nintendo World S Mario Kart Ride May Be A Go Kart Racing Track

Despite pandemic-related delays, Japan’s Super Nintendo World is still boosting ahead with turning this dream into reality. Slated with a new spring 2021 grand opening, the Universal Studios attraction will also house a Mario Kart ride, which may involve go-karts and very competitive driving. A video was leaked back in August which appeared to show the racing ride prototype named Mario Kart: Koopa’s Challenge and showed a roller-coaster-like carriage that seated four people....

Super Smash Bros Ultimate S Next Event Involves Masked Spirits

The next Super Smash Bros. Ultimate event will involve Spirits who hide their true identity, as the enemies are foes who fight while wearing masks. The physical appearance of the Spirits in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate has formed the basis for a number of events. These have included the event that involved Spirits with big ears, which mostly consisted of animal enemies. There was also the “All’s Hair in Love and War” event, where players battled Spirits with luscious lock....

Superman And Lois Episode 3 Review The Perks Of Not Being A Wallflower

This Superman & Lois review contains spoilers. Superman and Lois Episode 3 “Morrissey’s a xenophobic has-been.” This one line, delivered with deadpan perfection by Alex Garfin’s Jordan Kent pretty much sums up why Superman & Lois episode 3 is so good. Wait, really? Yes, stay with me for a minute… I loved the first two episodes of Superman & Lois. There’s no question about that. But there was a very slight nagging feeling in the back of my mind, that maybe this show was going to be a little too serious for its own good....

Take Two S E3 Panel Was The Right Thing At The Wrong Time

The games have been hit and miss at this year’s E3. I don’t mean ‘some have been good and some have been bad’, I mean ‘some streams have had games, and some have not’. Xbox and Bethesda rocked up with a boatload of stuff to show off, while both Ubisoft and Square Enix had some decent titles too. Others didn’t do so well. Gearbox gave us a small update on Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands, which was revealed days earlier at Summer Game Fest, and some details about Godfall I’m sure the seven remaining players are pleased with....

The 10 Biggest Challenges For Newcomers In Starcraft

Gamers itching for a new RTS experience might want to dabble into Blizzard’s StarCraft. Opposite WarCraft’s fantasy premise lies StarCraft and its compelling narrative involving the fate of the entire galaxy.

The 10 Biggest Fixes Destiny 2 Beyond Light Needs

Arguably one of the most polarizing expansions released in recent memory, Destiny 2: Beyond Light has made massive changes to the franchise by allowing Guardians to wield the Darkness through Stasis. The gameplay loop of slowing, freezing, then shattering foes is certainly a radical change for the franchise. While many agree that Stasis is a great addition inside of PvE, it has wreaked havoc on the balance of PvP. There are far more issues with this expansion than PvP balance, though....

The Bad Batch Premiere Showcased The Republic S Transition To The Empire Perfectly

The last few episodes of Star Wars: The Clone Wars gave us a heartbreaking glimpse at the fallout caused by Order 66. Ahsoka Tano was forced to defend herself against the Clone Troopers who she once fought beside, resulting in the eventual destruction of an entire starship full of Clones. Darth Sidious’ manipulative machinations came to fruition decades after being seeded, resulting in the ultimate destruction of the Jedi, and leaving no one to defy the Sith Lord....

The Boys Season 3 Yes That One Scene Was Inspired By The Ant Man Meme

This article contains spoilers for The Boys season 3 episode 1. When The Boys’ showrunner Eric Kripke stopped by the Den of Geek studios at this year’s SXSW festival, he had a bold proclamation to make about the show’s third season. “The very first 15 minutes of episode 1 is by far the craziest thing we’ve ever done…like, by a mile.” Naturally, when we had a chance to speak with Kripke again the week of season 3’s premiere on Prime Video, we decided to remind him of that statement, to which he responded “Did I oversell it?...

There’s no doubt that 2017 has been a big year for Ubisoft, as the company has released plenty of major new games such as Assassin’s Creed Origins and South Park: The Fractured But Whole.

The Division Won T Have Microtransactions Says Ubisoft Dev

Ubisoft Community Manager Natchai Stappers confirms over Twitter that Tom Clancy’s The Division will not feature any microtransactions or any ‘pay to win’ feature. In recent years, microtransactions has become an increasingly common - and unpopular - feature in many video games, so much so that gamers have been dissuaded from buying games that carry this option. With only one week to go before The Division is released, Ubisoft has announced that their upcoming third-person shooter won’t feature microtransactions, something that is sure to be welcome news for all gamers....

The First 10 Games Released On The N64 In Chronological Order

The N64 released in Japan almost 25 years ago, in June 1996. It was a staple of many childhoods, bringing 3D worlds to life in bedrooms and lounges the world over. For many, their first gaming experience would be holding that awkward tri-pronged controller and wondering what the hell to do with it. We hear the phrase “next-gen” so much that it’s hard to keep track of what gen it actually is....

The Great Ones Have A Lot Of Untapped Potential For Bloodborne 2

When first introduced to Bloodborne, one might mistake it as a a game simply about hunting beasts and corrupted denizens of Yharnam. However, as with most From Software games, there is a narrative that runs far deeper than the surface may let on. From the introduction of the game, players are constantly teased about the power of this mysterious blood, and only as players delve into the depths of Yharnam do they uncover more about the mysterious Great Ones and their impact on the city....
