Ohhh, glory shall be the word of the day, for the first Max Payne 3 trailer has arrived to the public. Is it awesome? Yes. Is it like old times? Even better. Obviously, Rockstar Games has been mum on certain details, as is usually their habit, but this first trailer of Max Payne 3 does a spectacular job of teasing the right amount of new elements, while at the same time reassuring the old ones....
Pedro Pascal is a busy boy. Not only is he garnering masses of praise for his portrayal of Joel in HBO’s The Last of Us, he’s about to hit Disney+ once more as The Mandalorian returns. Season 3 of the hit Star Wars TV series will premiere on 1 March 2023 and, thanks to a new, full trailer, it is shaping up very nicely indeed. Now that Din Djarin (Pascal) has reunited with Grogu, he has his heart set on travelling to Mandalore to regain his status as a Mandalorian....
It seems like so long ago when J-horror swept through the world, embodied by the likes of the zeitgeisty Ring franchise and the grubbier, smaller–and somewhat nastier–Ju-On/The Grudge cycle. Both brands have had shelf lives long past their due date, with the latter spawning a total of nine Japanese films and now four American ones. The fourth and hopefully last of these, simply titled The Grudge, slinks onto screens today and only serves as a reminder that the series was more or less played out even when Sarah Michelle Gellar’s name above the title of the 2004 The Grudge meant something....
Marvel Studios have already settled on the big villain that they are taking into the next few phases of the Marvel Cinematic Universe: Kang the Conqueror will be the multiversal threat that Earth’s mightiest heroes have to face. But the two-part Avengers finale might not be enough to wrap up the loose ends within every corner of the Marvel Universe. Is the studio secretly building up to a secondary big bad?...

Excitement for the upcoming second season of The Mandalorian on Disney+ is as high as ever, thanks to strategically sparse marketing and also a pandemic ensuring audiences can’t leave the house. To further aid in the anticipation, Disney just released some high quality character posters of the series’ four main characters, also known as Baby Yoda and those other people. With season 2 quickly bearing down on October 30th and few details revealed about its plot or new characters, fans are understandably thirsty for any new info they can find, and it looks like these posters might be all they’re getting for now....

There exists few games with the ambition and daunting scope of Star Citizen from Cloud Imperium Games. The massive sci-fi game is looking to not only be a great game in its own right, but to also birth a new genre that blends the mechanics of first-person shooters, open world titles, and MMOs. Considering the ridiculous size of the game, expected to require a 100GB install when it it’s all said and done, there are bound to be some hiccups along the way....
This Star Trek: Discovery review contains spoilers. Star Trek: Discovery Episode 15 Never let it be said that Star Trek: Discovery doesn’t know how to wrap things up. Many of the storylines addressed in the season finale didn’t have particularly solid middles, but their beginnings and ends were delivered with enthusiasm. This quality was on prominent display in tonight’s season finale, which made up for the unrealistic neatness with which it tied its season-ending bow by expanding this world for the first time in thorough and energetic ways....
This Star Trek: Lower Decks review contains spoilers. Star Trek: Lower Decks Episode 6 Part of the ongoing, overarching joke of Star Trek: Lower Decks is a clever, interwoven meta criticism of stock sci-fi plots, and also, very famous Trek plot tropes. The jokes tend to cut both ways: How often have these plots worked in other Treks, and how often have they failed? After passing the midway point of its first season, Lower Decks has demonstrated that in some cases, lovingly mocking a less-than-brilliant Trek trope (like hidden alien monsters) can result in a great episode....
Khan Noonien-Singh is widely considered to be Star Trek‘s best villain. Introduced in The Original Series episode “Space Seed,” Khan (as played by Ricardo Montalbán) would go on to be the eponymous villain in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, effectively killing fan favorite character Spock in the feature film’s climax. (It’s OK… he got better.) Subsequently, the character made appearances in other corners of the franchise, including on Enterprise, Deep Space Nine, and in the (worst) reboot film Star Trek Into Darkness, where he was played by Benedict Cumberbatch....
A new live action trailer for Star Wars Battlefront pays homage to one of Obi-Wan Kenobi’s most famous scenes, and also features an appearance by Anna Kendrick. After Rise of the Tomb Raider and Fallout 4 drop tomorrow, arguably the next biggest game to look forward to is the upcoming shooter Star Wars Battlefront. With Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens hitting the big screen in December, Star Wars Battlefront is poised to be a massive financial success for EA and DICE....

Street Fighter V first arrived in early 2016 and what started as a barely-playable disaster with a scant roster of 16 has been improved to become one of the best fighting games currently on the market. And in June, Capcom held a special live stream to promote what will be its fifth and final season of downloadable content for the game. When all is said and done, Street Fighter V: Champion Edition will have 45 fighters, the most in any Street Fighter game....
A recent study conducted by The NPD Group shows that more gaming time has seen a drastic increase since the Coronavirus pandemic began. While this doesn’t really come as a surprise to most, it does confirm what many had believed to be the truth. It seems the World Health Organization asking people to play video games may have actually worked. The NPD Group is an American Market Research company, and its most recent survey was conducted in the midst of the pandemic....
Summit has strong feelings for his cat in Sea of Thieves. Just in case you were wondering. Twitch streamer, consummate stoner, and now, cat abuser. This is a wild discovery that might affect Summit1G’s follower count on Twitch, and might even get in an angry letter from PETA. While much of Summit’s stream time is spent playing the VALORANT beta, he still likes to goof around in Sea of Thieves an awful lot....
