All the way back in 2015, it was confirmed that Telltale’s Game of Thrones would get a second season. But as the popular episodic game company releases titles such as Minecraft: Story Mode and The Wolf Among Us, Telltale has been silent on what Game of Thrones season two might offer, with fans left wondering what’s going on. In a new interview Job Stauffer, the head of creative communications at Telltale, reveals that the developer’s Game of Thrones series is “on hold....

Boy howdy are there a lot of Pokemon nowadays. Of course, Gen 1 kids remember all the original 150, but in the present day, there are over 890 of the little pocket critters. And, among those designs, there are a good number of fantastic ones, even a few that are iconic. As these things go, there are also a fair number of arguably “bad” designs. But, what people don’t often talk about are the middle-of-the-road Pokemon that are often forgotten about or completely ignored by the rest of their generation....

The Game Boy came barreling into the ’90s gaming market, creating quite a splash. Each year brought a progressively larger margin of new companies and games that were stored on cute, collectible cartridges. Granted, nobody could quite guess just how much these games would grow or depreciate in price moving forward. There are, of course, a few mainstay classics, such as Pokémon, Super Mario Land, and Tetris. Despite their popularity and high demand, they always have cartridges in circulation....

The Grand Theft Auto series has pushed limits and boundaries for years now and is one of the most iconic video game franchises because of that. Despite all the nonsense controversies surrounding the games, Rockstar has proved that they can be innovators in the gaming industry and it’s hard to picture what the gaming landscape would be like today if there was no GTA. The games have introduced us to a multitude of characters, and in that time we’ve grown close to some, and hated others....

Since The Crown launched on Netflix in 2016, it’s become a monumental hit, including being the first show to win all seven major drama category awards during the 2021 Emmys. And now it’s back for its fifth, and penultimate, series. There’s a particular buzz around this latest season of this fictional dramatisation of the life of Queen Elizabeth II: not only is there a major cast change for the second time (the royals all switched to new actors after season two, as the timeline moves forward through the decades), it will also be the first time a new series airs since the deaths of Queen Elizabeth and her husband Prince Philip....

As a loot shooter, The Division 2 has plenty of gear, items, and weapons for players to chase. Some of the best gear players can find are exotic weapons, designated by the color orange. These weapons generally offer the best statistics, as well as perks that make them worth going out of the way to acquire and also helping the player gear up for tougher challenges yet to come such as the 8 player raid called Operation Dark Hours....

The Elder Scrolls 6 is rumored to take place in Hammerfell and High Rock, but also, according to some sources, parts of Yokuda. This was the continent to the west of Tamriel which the Redguards originated from, but in a mysterious event was said to be destroyed far back in the history of the game’s lore. However, there are some big reasons that Yokuda could be returning in The Elder Scrolls 6....

Fans awaiting the premiere of The Expanse season 5 may think they know Amos Burton and the other members of the Rocinante crew pretty well by now, and readers of the James S.A. Corey novels are likely smug about their foreknowledge of the events to come. However, a recent EW interview with showrunner Naren Shankar reveals that adept viewers may already have many clues as to what they might learn about Amos’ past this year....

The biggest night in gaming is back, live from Los Angeles, and we finally know the list of nominees who are set to be honored at the ceremony. Airing on Dec. 8, The Game Awards 2022 will see the industry come together to celebrate the latest and greatest the year had to offer, from the big AAAs that dominated the sales charts to the smaller indie hits that captivated us. In fact, it’s a particularly big year for indie darlings competing in the Game of the Year category....

By the end of The Last of Us 2, many of the established characters from both the first part and its sequel are either dead, disabled, or otherwise retired from any sort of adventuring. Fans aren’t sure who’s left to carry the torch should a part three ever come out. The obvious choice is Abby and Lev, as those two still have a mission in mind and a plan to carry out, but The Last of Us 3 doesn’t have to take that route....

Gollum will be sneaking on systems other than next-generation consoles, as it was revealed during the Future Games Show that The Lord of the Rings: Gollum is also coming to Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. The Lord of the Rings: Gollum is an upcoming action-adventure game that will have elements of platforming and stealth. The player takes on the role of Smeagol/Gollum at some point in time after he loses the One Ring to Bilbo Baggins....

The Knights of the Old Republic games are among BioWare’s most acclaimed RPGs, bringing a level of subtlety and character complexity that many fans didn’t expect to see in either a video game or a piece of Star Wars media. However, since the release of Star Wars: The Old Republic back in 2011, the series has basically been on hiatus. The Old Republic followed from the Knights of the Old Republic canon and adapted it into a huge MMORPG world that combined the breadth of MMO giants like World of Warcraft with the in-depth storytelling of a BioWare game....

This STAR WARS: THE BAD BATCH article contains spoilers. In “Battle Scars,” another familiar face returns and a clock counts down to zero. The Bad Batch head to an old Jedi cruiser to remove their inhibitor chips. While it’s too early to count out the Scrapper Guild patrols who control the starship graveyard, the real threat this week comes from within. Wrecker’s control chip activates, plunging him into an Order 66-induced rage....

The replacement and successor to Star Wars Galaxies is on the verge of release, taking MMO gamers to the Star Wars universe established in BioWare’s pair of high acclaimed Knights of the Old Republic games. While BioWare has stated that they need at least half a million paying subscribers to profit on on the project, some analysts predict that Star Wars: The Old Republic could sell as much as 3 million units in its first year....

Battlefront II players tend to gravitate toward the most popular heroes and star cards. While Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker are incredible heroes to use, players have a handful of other options. Even after three years, Battlefront players still undervalue many of the heroes and star cards in the game. After dozens of updates and expansions, Star WarsBattlefront II is a completely different game in 2021. Dice’s herculean effort to save a broken game at launch resulted in an amazing game and online experience....

The summer is quickly drawing to a close, which means we’re getting ever closer to Electronic Arts’ and DICE’s impending release of their Star Wars Battlefront reboot this autumn. With each passing day, ardent fans of the sci-fi shooter constantly clamor for the smallest scrap of information regarding the game, as Star Wars Battlefront’s developers continue to intermittently dribble out new details and updates. A few days ago, Electronic Arts teased a new hero character via their Twitter account, but gave no concrete answer as to when to expect his or her official reveal....

PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds has quickly become one of the most popular early access games on Steam, and as such, has attracted the attention of many of the biggest Twitch streamers. One popular Twitch streamer, Dr DisRespect, was recently banned from PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds for killing a teammate, leading to an online argument between himself and the game’s creator, Brandon Greene. Team-killing is frowned upon in PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, so when Dr DisRespect killed a teammate in order to have a spot on a vehicle, it was met with a swift, but temporary, ban....

Every year, Games Done Quick produces two flagship speedrunning charity fundraisers, Awesome Games Done Quick (AGDQ) and Summer Games Done Quick (SGDQ). During each event, donations made to that event’s organization of choice can be applied toward incentives that effect the speedrun segments taking place 24 hours a day over the course of a week. Traditionally, both events host members of the speedrunning community in a hotel convention center, as either its in-person audience or as direct contributors to the couch commentary that colors each run....

It’s really easy to say “Boy, toys have come a long way, haven’t they? Gee, I wish they’d had cool stuff like this when I was a kid.” And to a certain extent, yeah, sure, kids have it better now than we did in the 80s and 90s in the sense that you can buy yourself a Batman that is all black and looks like Batman and not your uncle going for a run in the winter....
