Ambitious hybrid game Star Citizen sees the introduction of its highly anticipated FPS segment, called Star Marine, featuring two maps and two game modes. Fans of Star Citizen will be happy to know that developer Cloud Imperium Games today released the first-person shooter section of the game in early access, ready to be tested by the PC-gaming public. The segment, called Star Marine, was once promised to be “more lethal” than Call of Duty and has had fans of the hybrid game excited for months....

Star Citizen’s previous big Free Fly event was Invictus Week, the period between two in-game holidays where the military tried to recruit young, fresh-faced pilots. And they also let you try every ship in Star Citizen for free to sweeten the deal. Six months later and Star Citizen is hosting another huge Free Fly event, but this time without the militaristic overtones and with even more ships to try. Intergalactic Aerospace Expo 2950 is like Star Citizen’s version of a car convention, only instead of automobile manufacturers showing off their latest 8-cylinder roadster, it’s fictional spaceship manufacturers showcasing their latest death-ray equipped, FTL-capable cargo hauler....

The following contains spoilers for Star Trek: Picard Star Trek: Picard Season 2 Episode 10 Star Trek: Picard wraps up its second season with a finale that is as uneven and frustrating as many of the episodes that have preceded it. From its rushed final mystery to the literal deus ex machina that sends Picard and friends back to the future, there’s a determined air of tying up loose ends for most of the hour, but little in the way of true emotional payoff (or even basic explanation) for the bulk of what we’ve seen this season....

This article contains Star Trek: Strange New Worlds spoilers. Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Episode 4 If there’s one thing Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is trying to make clear, it’s that hanging out in the Star Trek universe isn’t safe. While The Next Generation and Voyager may have had the reputation for looking and feeling a little too cozy, Strange New Worlds continues the grittier vibe from Discovery, which also references the rough-and-tumble nature of The Original Series....

This post contains light spoilers for OBI-WAN KENOBI Star Wars is famous for its alien languages. Even in the original film, audiences heard Chewbacca speak in Shyriiwook, Greedo speak in Rodese, and Jawas speak in, uh, Jawaese. Because the series eschews the universal translators found in Star Trek or Doctor Who, new aliens bring with them new speech styles. You would think that inventing new languages would put a great demand on writers and actors, as when Troy Kotsur helped create Tusken sign language for Book of Boba Fett....

For many, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order was seen as a step in the right direction for future Star Wars games. It was single player, told a powerful story set in the Dark Times, and introduced fans to another hodgepodge crew of allies fighting to protect the future of the Jedi. With solid reviews and decent popularity, it seems that a sequel will likely be coming out in the next few years, but in that time, it’ll likely be landing on the PS5 and Xbox Series X....

Wooing a potential spouse in Stardew Valley is time-consuming and requires lots of gifts and attention to your loved one. Another thing that helps is attending events with them where dates are an option, particularly at the Flower Dance festival. This annual event occurs in the spring and involves the citizens of Pelican Town gathering for a tradition to celebrate the coming of the new season. However, seeking out where it takes place can be difficult since it is normally a locked area....

Stardew Valley has been out for almost five years now, and year after year, it keeps pulling players in. Not only that, but the game creator keeps updating the game every now and then, adding new items, activities, and even new heart events. While many argue that this game feels a lot like big franchises, like Animal Crossing or Harvest Moon, by now, Stardew Valley is its own thing with a strong fanbase that supports the game and its creator....

Power Berries are valuable in Story of Seasons: Friends of Mineral Town, and here’s how to find all ten. Just about everything you’ll do in Story of Seasons: Friends of Mineral Town requires stamina. As you work your farm, tend your crops, go out on a fishing trip, or any other activity you want to do, you’ll be limited by how much stamina you have. The only way to boost your stamina is to find a special Power Berry, but there is a very limited number of them, and you won’t find them all playing normally....

“It’s time.” That is the penultimate sentence uttered in the final trailer for Stranger Things season 4 (before the ominous addendum “You have lost”). Rarely have truer words ever been spoken. It is indeed time for more Stranger Things. Netflix’s retro sci-fi horror hit hasn’t produced new episodes since season 3 signed off on July 4, 2019. Now the show is finally set to return on May 27, 2022, and based on this action-packed new trailer from Netflix, it has spent those three years hard at work at making the grandest season yet....

At first glance, it seems like Dario Argento’s 1977 cult horror classic, Suspiria, would be impossible to remake. Not because it’s so well-written or satisfying as a narrative, but because Argento’s film is so stylized, so drenched in its own peculiar atmosphere and so specifically tailored to the director’s own particular vision (what there is of it) that any attempt to recreate or refashion what the legendary Italian horror auteur had wrought would fall hopelessly short in the areas where Suspiria is strongest while delivering something more conventional as a film....

Team Liquid parent company aXiomatic has invested in startup branding and marketing agency AoE Creative. AoE was founded by former Infinite Esports & Entertainment employees Simon Bennett and Markel Lee. aXiomatic has invested in a number of eSports related companies, most notably Team Liquid. Team Liquid has gained recognition in multiple esports titles, now claiming international success in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, Dota 2, and League of Legends. Liquid is the highest earning eSports organization of 2019 in tournament winnings, bringing in just over $4....

When it comes to FromSoftware’s upcoming action RPG Elden Ring, a title that may or may not actually exist, fans are foaming at the mouth for even the smallest glimpse of the game. That’s what made a recent “leak” so intriguing: was FromSoftware gearing up for a new unveiling soon? Will Elden Ring actually cross the finish line before the sun engulfs the Earth? I don’t have an answer to that last one, but I can tell you one thing: that leak is fake....

As a subsidiary of Koei Tecmo, Omega Force is synonymous with Dynasty Warriors. When the company is not adapting the Romance of the Three Kingdoms into hack and slash romps, Omega Force can typically be found producing spin-offs with the Warriors name. While it can be cathartic to demolish thousands of enemies in the span of a few minutes, Dynasty Warriors is undoubtedly an acquired taste and can be difficult to get into if someone is not interested in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms....

Peter Jackson’s upcoming The Beatles: Get Back is poised to reframe the breakup of “the greatest show on the earth, for what it was worth,” into a race-against-the-clock musical comedy. Good Morning America dropped a video showing the serious business of hitting the right notes. It’s obviously an early take, none of the nuances which will come to define the sound of it are yet in play. Paul McCartney is still shouting out chords, ad-libbing and scatting lyrics, most prominently the refrain which holds the piece together....

Bandai Namco dropped a new The Dark Pictures: House Of Ashes trailer during Summer Game Fest with a release date announcement. Another chapter of Supermassive Games horror anthology is coming on October 22. The new trailer shed some light on the game’s opening, revealing players will experience some military action alongside further likeness to Indiana Jones and The Mummy. House Of Ashes’s story revolves around a group of soldiers in Iraq in 2003, who ended up in a deserted crypt in the shadow of the Zagros mountains after the military operation failure....

Ubisoft’s The Division has experienced a lot of glitches lately, and that trend continues as a player discovers a new exploit for the title’s current end-game content. It hasn’t been the smoothest week for Tom Clancy’s The Division. Following the release of the 1.1 Update Patch, Ubisoft’s support team became inundated with hundreds of player complaints, ranging from reports of minor bugs to the very serious news that The Division players’ Agents were being deleted after the update....

The Doom Patrol is an odd team to give a show to. At this point, they’re probably best known in the popular consciousness for starting Beast Boy’s career and then dying. Repeatedly. But they’re kind of a big deal, both in continuity and as an artifact of comics history. Why? Well aren’t you glad we’re here to tell you! The World’s Strangest Heroes are a dense, intricate bunch, but we’ve examined them closely and are happy to introduce you to them ahead of their arrival on DC Universe....

Despite the game releasing all the way back in 2006, The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion still retains a fairly active online community, with the game having an enduring legacy in both the world of video games and through a whole host of internet jokes which fans still share to this day. While players wait for the next entry in the series, The Elder Scrolls 6, it seems many are still trudging the worlds of Skyrim and Oblivion enjoying the mountains of content both titles offer....
