This The Flash review contains spoilers. The Flash Season 4 Episode 17 Well, “Null and Annoyed” is something of an apt title. It’s not surprising that there would be a bit of a regression after The Flash turned in its two best episodes of the season (and two of its best ever, if I’m being honest) with “Enter Flashtime” and “Run, Iris, Run.” It’s just a shame that all of the flaws of The Flash Season 4 had to come to the foreground in such a pronounced way in an episode directed by Kevin Smith....

One of 2018’s best indie games is finally making the jump to Xbox One. Spotted by a random Microsoft store listing, it looks like The Messenger will be released on Microsoft’s console next week on June 25, 2020. A rather excellent retro platformer/Metroidvania mix, any fans of NES and Genesis games would do well to pick this up. If you are just now learning about this for the first time (where have you been the past two years?...

This Star Wars: The Bad Batch article contains spoilers. The Star Wars: Bad Batch finale brings the Bad Batch home as the Empire erases what happened in Kamino’s clone headquarters. Team villain Crosshair has been abandoned by the Empire he wanted to serve, forcing him to help his former allies while obscuring his motives and never fully turning trustworthy. Meanwhile, Omega’s love for her little family and her desire to help others gets her into trouble....

Cal Kestis, the leading man of Respawn’s Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, has one of the best, self-contained arcs in the franchise’s new canon. His journey uses the treachery of Order 66 to explore aspects of PTSD and acts as a mirror for Cere’s own struggle with survivor’s guilt, all while thwarting the machinations of the Galactic Empire in grand fashion. While Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order’s well-executed mechanics ensured the game would be a success, Cal’s story is what marks it as a triumph....

Best PC games to buy: Fantastic games to add to your collection Get yourself a microSD card We’d highly recommend purchasing a microSD card to give you access to more games. Internal storage fills up fast which can really suck. Stream your games There’s another way to counter the storage space issue on the Steam Deck and that’s making use of Steam’s Remote Play functionality. Stream games from your PC....

Street Fighter 5 executive producer Yoshinori Ono addresses fan concerns about the game’s lack of content, saying that the team will ‘work hard’ to strike a ‘perfect balance’. When Street Fighter 5 launched on PC and PS4 back in February, it did so as one of the most highly anticipated titles of the year. Although fighting game fans had high expectations for it, many soon criticized the Capcom-developed title for being ‘unfinished’, ‘incomplete’, and in a state that suggested that it should have been held back for extra development work....

Warning: contains major Strike: Lethal White spoilers. It’s fair to say that Strike: Lethal White didn’t have the most streamlined of plots. Condensing a 650-page novel with roughly the same number of characters into just four TV episodes produced a miniseries more squeezed than a carton of anti-depressant-laced orange juice. If you lost your bearings somewhere between the first ‘murder’, the multiple blackmails, the second murder, the secret affair, the valuable paintings, the inheritance scheme, the Zimbabwean war crimes scandal, and the long, tangled history between the families Chiswell, Knight and Winn, nobody could blame you....

Assassin’s Creed 3 has a lot to offer fans in terms of new content, both in the form of a new main character and an exciting new time period, but this is still the next entry in a franchise that fans come to for a certain type of experience. As such, some new screenshots for the game have leaked online that, instead of focusing on flashy kills, show the game in its more traditional form....

There’s a Mario movie coming down the pike and it’s looking rather good. We’ve had some trailers that feature gorgeous visuals, as well as reassuring fans that their worries about Chris Pratt voicing Mario himself could be unfounded. You can see these below, and find out everything we know about the film so far. The Super Mario Bros. Movie release date We have a firm release date for the Mario movie....

This Supergirl review contains spoilers. Supergirl Season 2, Episode 22 If Supergirl Season 2’s penultimate episode was a rallying call to resistance, then the season finale was the cost of that resistance. Because, sometimes, doing what’s right can break your heart, but it’s the choice you can live with. When Supergirl is asked to choose between saving her world and keeping a person she loves in her life, she chooses to save Earth....

Takeharu Ishimoto is returning to compose for NEO: The World Ends With You, giving us plenty to be thankful for this holiday. KHInsider found a tweet by the composer confirming that he will return to write the music for this new adventure in Shibuya. The fan site also notes that Ishimoto is working on the music for the anime that releases in April 2021. The original soundtrack of The World Ends With You is as unique as the DS game it is based on....

Talisman: Star Wars is the name of the first roll-and-move board game set in the Star Wars universe, and it will feature characters and events from all three eras, banded together to defeat Emperor Palpatine. Alternatively, you can join him - who are we to tell you what to do? Talisman is a fantasy-themed board game, first released in 1983, which has been through several revisions since then. Star Wars is definitely not the first themed edition of the game: Talisman: Batman Super-Villains Edition and Talisman: Kingdom Hearts Edition have both been out since last year, to general acclaim....

Last month the Internet said goodbye to Rick May, a performer, professor at Rekindle School, and voice actor known for playing Peppy Hare and Andross in Star Fox 64, Dr. M in Sly 3: Honor Among Thieves, and Soldier in Valve’s team-based first-person shooter Team Fortress 2. In an update to Team Fortress 2 released yesterday, Valve paid tribute to May in the form of memorial statues throughout the game....

Fighting games are renowned for their wide yet balanced rosters, great visuals, and massive skill gaps. The Soulcalibur series is no exception, being a cornerstone of easy-to-learn but hard-to-master fighting games. Soulcalibur 2 is arguably the best entry in the series with its unique cast of characters and diverse combos. Heavy hitters, rapid-attacking characters, and everything in between were available in this game. The number of unique combos you could pull off gave each hero a unique playstyle and personality that few fighting games can match even today....

The end of the year is the traditional time to take stock, tally up and remember the highlights of what has been, at times, a very strange old run of it. It also happens to be the point of the year when a lot of us manage to down tools for a little bit and find ourselves in need of viewing recommendations. If that’s you, and you’re in the market for some excellent new and returning British drama and comedy, then our writers share their favourites of 2022 below....

Forgive my language, but killing shit in Horizon Zero Dawn feels amazing. I recently picked HZD back up in anticipation for the sequel, and the second time around I can’t help but stand in awe of how incredible it feels to fight robot monsters with a bow and arrow. I thought I’d cruise right through the main story, but I find myself meandering around the world, taking on every fight that comes my way....

Star Wars is one of the most polarizing fandoms in the world, and there’s a reason for drama every couple of years. Fans have heated debates every time a new movie comes out, if something challenges George Lucas’ lore or when Disney announces a new director. That also happens with an upcoming trilogy, a spinoff, or even a set of prequels. That fact is that drama is everywhere, whether it’s because fans think the prequels are the worst thing that ever happened or because they love them and have to scream that out loud....

Ubisoft releases a master list of currently known bugs and glitches that exist in The Division beta, helping to set expectations before players enter the game tomorrow. The highly anticipated beta for The Division is now only a couple of days away from release, though many players have already begun to preload the content in order to dive into the experience as soon as it launches on January 28.

The Division 2 is getting busy next month, as it has now been confirmed that the next-gen upgrade - support for 4k and 60FPS - will be launching on February 2. This comes alongside the previously announced Resident Evil crossover event. Ubisoft community manager Johan Lindholm confirmed the date on Twitter, although details about the next-gen upgrade were discussed in previous months. For instance, Ubisoft confirmed that Division 2’s update would not be utilizing all of the new aspects of next-gen, like ray-tracing or adaptive triggers, but it will utilize the hardware for better resolution and smoother gameplay....
