The video game developer Naughty Dog releases official concept art offering a closer look at The Last of Us: Part 2’s protagonist Ellie and her tattoo. Ever since The Last of Us: Part 2 was revealed at PlayStation Experience 2016 with a trailer, fans of Naughty Dog’s forthcoming sequel to what is arguably one of the best games of the last generation have been hungry for any and all information that they can stomach about the title....

The Mandalorian introduced Star Wars fans to a brand new villain named Moff Gideon, the leader of a remnant of Imperial forces who sought the asset known to viewers as ‘The Child’ (aka Baby Yoda). The character was portrayed by Breaking Bad star Giancarlo Esposito, who recently discussed details about Gideon’s role in the second season of the Disney+ series. Moff Gideon made his first appearance in the penultimate episode of The Mandalorian’s first season, which concluded with the titular bounty hunter and his cohorts being held up in a facility on the planet Navarro while surrounded by former Imperial forces....

In recent years, many comparisons have been made between the Marvel and DC films. While both comic franchises have created successful film adaptations of their respective superhero comics, some films have been more successful than others in transferring their iconography to the big screen. One comparison that is frequently drawn between the two franchises, is that between the characters of Captain America and Superman. The first superhero to breakthrough into mainstream culture, Superman is well established in both the comic and film realms....

Super Bomberman R Online’s Stadia exclusivity might be coming to an end, as the game recently received an ESRB rating for PC. As strange as it sounds, the ESRB gives Stadia games their own category, entirely separate from PC titles, meaning the online game could be destined for Steam or Epic Games in the near future. Last month, Super Bomberman R Online also received a PC rating in Korea, and fans of the long-running series are hopeful that an announcement is right around the corner....

Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy announced, alongside many other Star Wars projects, a new series called Star Wars: Visions. The project, which will feature several animated short films for release on the Disney+ streaming service, is set to explore the Star Wars universe through the lens of anime creators. According to Kennedy, the show will be a Disney+ exclusive that produces 10 short films in total that celebrate the Star Wars universe....

Steam’s annual autumn sale begins today. Retaining last year’s title, the “Exploration Sale” will offer thousands of discounts and will run from Nov. 25 through Dec. 1. Steam’s annual autumn sale has begun, as previously rumored! Stuck between Steam’s Halloween Sale and their end of the year extravaganza that is the Holiday Sale, the autumn is meant to offer a digital alternative to the typically retailer and console exclusive Black Friday and Cyber Monday offerings....

Texture glitches are one of the most common problems in Call of Duty: Warzone. Sometimes the server doesn’t send the proper information to the player’s system, resulting in some strange alterations to Verdansk. While most problems affect Call of Duty: Warzone operators or weapons, they can occasionally have a bigger impact on buildings or the entire map. While texture errors are mostly harmless, they can generate some interesting alternate scenarios for players....

Dan Hibiki, the Saikyo-Style master, has finally arrived in Street Fighter 5, and he’s bringing all of his flair and cloned aesthetics to the mix. The man himself was made as a bit of a joke, poking fun at other fighting games at the time that had a gi-donning karate man play the central role. Dan was supposed to be the budget-rate Ryu knock-off, with similar moves, but considerably less effective....

The team is composed of passionate gamers who just so happen to have a wealth of experience in culinary arts, clinical nutrition, and the world of business.

Teen Titans is one the greatest superhero cartoons. Robin, Starfire, Raven, Beast Boy, and Cyborg are diverse and charismatic heroes. The show has an excellent mix of humor and drama, and fans are still mourning the show’s cancellation and reboot as Teen Titans GO! There’s so many characters and stories that are still unexplored. The children’s version of the teen cartoon just doesn’t have the complexity of the original series....

With a name like Game of Thrones, HBO’s wildly addictive historical fantasy show seems almost deliberately primed for a video game adaptation. Conflict, betrayal, revenge and politics all come together in a plot that spans thousands of miles and includes a massive cast of characters with strange names, and now that story is being brought to interactive life by Telltale Games, the studio that produced the critically acclaimed episodic game based on The Walking Dead....

The ever-increasing realism of video games has allowed developers to make unsettlingly immersive horror experiences that put players in the heart of the action. The survival horror genre, in particular, has produced some of the best titles in the gaming industry’s history. Much of the genre’s strength comes from the player’s ability to fight back and make decisions for the main character, instead of having to watch a movie full of people locking themselves in enclosed spaces or watching cursed videotapes....

There are very few moves in the Pokemon series that match the weirdly complex history of Rock Smash. It originally debuted in Pokemon Gold & Silver as a Fighting-type TM with a weak 20 power, but in later games was upgraded to an HM with 40 power that allowed users to break certain rocks in the overworld. With Pokemon Sword & Shield, the move learned only through leveling up, and isn’t needed to smash rocks in the environment anymore....

Halloween is a favorite holiday for many all around the world. This may be due to the various horrors allowed to stalk the night or even just the plethora of treats available for all to snack on throughout the night. As more video games became more connected to real world times and dates, holiday based events also became more common with the aforementioned additions also being available virtually. With in-game Halloween events, there are often plenty of event-exclusive items available to help players stay spooky all year long....

The patch is available now for users to check out, providing that they have access to the PTS servers, including those on console alongside the Friday release of the PTS update to PC players. Included within the update are some tweaks that The Division players will no doubt be glad to see....

The Division has four different damage indicator colors, which may have left some gamers scratching their heads. This YouTube video explains what each color really means. It’s been a long road for The Division, but Ubisoft are coming ever so closer to the long-awaited release of the snowy New York-based shooter. The beta for The Division gave plenty of fans a chance to test out the game for themselves, and many agents met their match in the ominously-titled dark zones....

Superstition, science and faith collide in an Essex fishing village when a centuries-old rumour resurfaces about a biblical sea serpent haunting the waters. Some believe the beast has come to punish Aldwinter’s people for their sins. Others – like Tom Hiddleston’s vicar Will Ransome – don’t believe in it at all. Widower Cora Seaborne (Claire Danes) hypothesises that it’s an evolutionary throwback to the age of the dinosaur. Will’s fey wife Stella (Clémence Poésy) secretly welcomes it as her lord and saviour....

2014’s The Evil Within was a game stuck between two generations. Created with both seventh and eighth generation consoles in mind, the game didn’t quite take advantage of the added horsepower of the PS4 and Xbox One. With The Evil Within 2, Tango Gameworks was able to focus solely on newer consoles and PC, resulting in a much more impressive experience that should greatly please fans of the survival-horror genre....

It’s rare to see a franchise get a definitive line drawn under it these days when name recognition is king and studios are always looking for a guaranteed hit. That said, reports indicate that’s exactly what Universal Pictures is planning to do with its highly popular Fast & Furious franchise. Deadline broke the story that Justin Lin is set to direct two more films in the franchise, after which the film series that has run for nearly two decades will finally come to a close....
