By now, pretty much any casual television viewer has seen, or at least knows about, The Mandalorian. It’s the latest, greatest entry into the Star Wars universe that seems to have been both a huge financial success for Disney and almost universally beloved by audiences. The show immediately spawned countless memes, viral images, and adoring praise for ‘The Child,’ who was quickly dubbed “Baby Yoda” by fans, but the show was also a satisfying sci-fi romp through the Star Wars universe with all the action one would expect from a show about a bounty hunter....

The Last of Us 2 saw its fair share of controversy, but the game was still a massive success, selling millions of units worldwide and earning rave reviews from critics, becoming one of the highest-rated games of 2020 in the process. While it has its detractors, The Last of Us 2 is still considered by many to be an exceptional release, and that success has seen it become the game with the most Game of the Year awards in history....

As many gamers might remember, The Last of Us: Part 2 skipped out on The Game Awards 2018 due to the fact that Naughty Dog has been “hard at work” on the forthcoming title, with the studio stating it would reveal more “when the time is right”. Now, it looks as if such highly coveted information may have been shared inadvertently before the developer’s say-so, with TLOU2’s release date potentially having been confirmed for 2019....

The Last of Us 2 is arguably this year’s most controversial game. It was a heated talking point after its release, with fans divided over Naughty Dog’s narrative direction. Now that it’s been some time, and people have digested the story, the franchise’s composer is teasing another chapter on the horizon. Posting on Twitter, composer Gustavo Santaolalla expressed his appreciation for the title’s Game Awards nomination for Best Score and Music....

Misha Green, best known as the showrunner of Lovecraft Country, shared the news on her Twitter page, showing the first draft of the script alongside the current working title. Green was previously confirmed as the sequel’s writer and director, taking over from Roar Uthaug who directed the last film....

There are times when it’s still nearly impossible to believe that a beloved and revolutionary show like Star Trek: The Original Series TV run was unceremoniously ended after a final season that often showcased the series at its very worst. While Star Trek would live on and the original Enterprise crew would get the chance to enjoy a more appropriate farewell across six film adaptations, millions were long left wondering what could have been if Star Trek’s final days weren’t ruined by a combination of production problems, bad decisions, and worse timing....

Jedi Fallen Order has received its next-gen upgrade for the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S and is currently available for download with increased performance. EA announced the next-gen upgrade back in April as part of an early May the Fourth celebration but didn’t provide a specific timeline.

This week I’ve played Stardew Valley for over 15 hours. To say I’ve been enjoying my first playthrough would be an understatement. I am loving this game. It’s cute, feels a bit gay - in a cottagecore way - and allows me to blissfully pretend I own land. It’s just nice playing a single-player experience again, as co-op games never seem to have the right party size anymore. As I water my crops or tend to my chickens, Nugget, Ginger, and Peri-Peri, I check the corner of the screen to make sure I can get to the shops as soon as they open to sell my produce, or to go see Robin and ask her to build me a new extension....

Street Fighter 5 still has one last season of content coming up for fans to enjoy and will include five more characters to complete its roster.

But one of them was a complete mystery. Unfortunately for Capcom, their identity has been leaked ahead of schedule....

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League has a lot of things going for it. From a seasoned developer in Rocksteady to an intriguing cast of Suicide Squad characters that will likely be made more popular by the upcoming James Gunn movie, there is good reason to be excited about the 2022 project. However, perhaps its most surprising success will be tied to the story’s premise Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, like its name suggests, sees Amanda Waller’s band of misfits tasked with killing members of DC’s most powerful faction....

This article contains Superman & Lois spoilers. Superman & Lois Episode 12 Ever since Morgan Edge was unmasked as a Kryptonian (and not just any Kryptonian, but Superman’s biological half-brother), Superman & Lois has been revealing more and more about the villain’s plan, and by extension exploring the nature vs. nurture debate that has been the centerpiece of so many stories that explore the nature of the Man of Steel’s power....

Rumors that Valve has abandoned Team Fortress 2 have been greatly exaggerated as a Halloween update now haunts the game, adding the Scream Fortress XII event, new community maps, cosmetics, bug fixes, and more. Although there is quite a bit to unpack in this update, one thing stands out: Mannpower Mode received balance changes, while no other mode did.

The Lunatic Cultist is one of the final gatekeepers before facing the final boss of Terraria. Players will want to defeat the Lunatic Cultist to initiate the Lunar Events and proceed the story. Killing a Lunatic Cultist will also provide the player with the Ancient Manipulator, a powerful crafting station for Lunar and Luminite-based gear. For many players the Lunatic Cultist is a test of DPS and the player’s ability to dodge or mitigate damage....

The world of Pokémon is filled with catchable monsters of all shapes and sizes. While Pokémon are fictional beings, most of them are based on creatures or objects in the real world. Some, like Alcremie, are based on food. Others, like Roselia, are based on plants. However, a very large portion of Pokémon are based on animals. Whether it’s furry critters like rabbits and dogs, or fiercer creatures like snakes or bears, chances are that there’s already a Pokémon based around that animal....

Single player games are increasingly becoming more and more rooted in the open-world genre. It’s almost as though character-driven narratives are required to exist within a world you can explore at your own leisure. Sometimes this results in amazing creations, like The Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild. However, the amount of content in a game often dictates how much time someone will spend in a given open-world, and not every game benefits from having this feature....

Launching in the early ’70s, Nickelodeon is synonymous with cartoons and children entertainment. As a subsidiary of Warner Cable and Viacom, the network needed more than a decade to capture a hold of its target audience, although Nickelodeon ruled the ’90s! After years of delivering an underwhelming lineup filled with shows like Double Dare, the channel took a risk and ventured into the animation business. On August 11, 1991, Nickelodeon debuted Doug, The Ren & Stimpy Show, and Rugrats, a business decision which proved to be rather lucrative....
