It’s hard to believe, but our beloved plumber Mario has been around for over three odd decades and has made appearances in tons of games, from being the hero of the Mushroom Kingdom to random cameos. Mario is just a character that we love seeing in our Nintendo games. Because of that, he isn’t just the face of Nintendo, but is, for many people, the face of gaming as a whole....
With Peter Jackson’s re-cut of The Beatles: Get Back coming at the end of November, we are reminded the Beatles were cinematic stars as well as musical artists. Beyond the group’s films, John Lennon played Private Gripweed in Richard Lester’s How I Won the War, and Ringo Starr acted in quite a few films. His choices were far more in keeping with the underground and independent air of the time. Starr starred with Peter Sellars in the anti-capitalist satire The Magic Christian, as the villain in the Spaghetti Western Blindman, and the voyeuristic Mexican gardener Emmanuel in the sex farce Candy....
Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare’s developers likely took weapon selection into account when designing the game’s maps. The weapons are complemented by dilapidated multiplayer maps that serve as the setting for intense player versus player combat. There’s an existential feeling of dread and abandonment surrounding these maps. Call of Duty: Warzone has drastically shifted the way we think about Call of Duty. However, comparing Call of Duty: Warzone and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered is like comparing apples to oranges....
Spacing is a huge component in the combat of Dark Souls 3. Being able to hit your enemies when they can’t hit you is a great advantage, and can be achieved in a few different ways. One such manner is to use melee weapons of long and deadly nature constructed from wood, metal, bone, and sometimes even rock. Spears as a weapon type offer a plethora of benefits that give primarily Dexterity builds a versatile arsenal in which to skewer man, beast, and god alike....
Nothing satisfies the thirst for a dystopian adventure quite like the Fallout games. With the catastrophic results racked by Fallout 76, you are better off playing another title from the iconic series. Since Fallout 4 is the last great single-player installment you can have fun with, it’s a good idea to look into some expansive mods. Gaming on PC is fun because of this. You get to put whatever you want in your favorite games, unlike console players who are often stuck with the vanilla versions of most titles....
We all know that E3 is the biggest week in gaming. The expo sees most of the big names joining under one roof to showcase their newest pieces of tech, hardware, and software, and each company tries to one-up each other with their video game announcements. Each year we are treated to dozens of headline-grabbing reveals, and each year we wait patiently to see what’s next in store for gaming and entertainment....
The internet often likes to position Digimon and Pokemon as warring fan bases that can’t co-exist. Conversations revolve around one show being better than the other, or that one ripped off the other. It’s pretty clear which franchise is more popular, but that doesn’t mean Digimon doesn’t have a large following itself. Outside of similar names, the series has plenty of creatures that look alike. Let’s take a look at 10 Pokemon, through Pokemon Sword & Shield, that have Digimon counterparts....

Creepy isn’t the same as scary. Of course horror movies can be scary simply by using loud noises and sudden movements to make their audiences jump, but creepy is harder to pull off. To be effectively creepy, a film needs to establish a certain atmosphere; it needs to draw you in and make you care. It needs to give you something to think about when you’re trying to drop off to sleep at night; to make you wonder whether that creaking noise down the hallway was just the house settling or something lurking in the shadows....
The Boys showrunner, Eric Kripke, has teased that a seperate short film will be released in the middle of the eight new episodes of season two. A companion piece will explore the events between season one and two of lead character Billy Butcher (Karl Urban), who was last seen in the clutches of Anthony Starr’s Homelander. Originally these events were set to be revealed in the second episode of season two, but pacing and logic issues forced them to be cut....
The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing II arrives on Xbox One and brings the franchise’s trademark humor and steampunk setting to consoles, along with a few new features. Action RPGs, or loot-playing games, saw a bit of a surprising renaissance in 2014 and 2015. In the midst of Diablo 3 and its expansions and Path of Exile, it may have been too easy to let The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing and its sequels slip under the radar....
Sony Interactive Entertainment and Team Ico officially release a trailer for the action-adventure title The Last Guardian to detail the game’s accolades.

With this being the case, Sony Interactive Entertainment and Team Ico have decided to put out a brand new trailer for the game that highlights some of the more glowing criticisms bestowed upon the release....
The Last of Us’ Ellie is no stranger to a badass comment or two. We first saw her interesting and unique character in June 2013. Years later, we have finally been graced with her presence again and that’s not without the undoubtedly brutal, yet badass side comments that we’ve grown to love. After the sore scenes of Joel’s death in the second installment of the game, Ellie’s character developed in a way that gamers would never have expected....
The Last of Us 2 has been out for a few days now, giving fans of Naughty Dog’s post-apocalyptic survival-horror franchise the chance to explore the ruins of Seattle. Fans have already discovered multiple easter eggs hidden throughout The Last of Us 2, and more than one is based on Naughty Dog’s popular 3D platformer series Jak and Daxter. Three Jak and Daxter easter eggs have been found in The Last of Us 2 so far, but it’s possible that there are more that fans have yet to find....
When Bill Burr was cast in a guest role in the first season of The Mandalorian, some fans thought it might be stunt casting in response to the comic’s famous rants about Star Wars. His character Migs Mayfeld was introduced as a brash, wisecracking hard-ass in line with Burr’s comedic persona in his introduction in season 1’s “Chapter 6: The Prisoner,” in which he was on a crew that hired Mando to spring an inmate from a New Republic prison and then double-crossed him at the last second....
The following contains spoilers for STAR trek: discovery Star Trek: Discovery Season 4 Episode 4 It’s not yet clear whether “All is Possible ” will really be Sylvia Tilly’s goodbye on Star Trek Discovery, especially since the episode makes such a strong case for the necessity of her perspective and worldview. In many ways, her character is a kind of personification of what makes Star Trek as a concept so appealing, just a big-hearted, open embrace of possibility along with a nerdy love of science and seemingly boundless faith in the innate goodness of others....

Several days ago, the release of an unsanctioned glimpse at a loadout screenshot and an incredibly brief piece of gameplay for Star Wars Battlefront 2 began circulating online, with many poring over the two assets to determine what kind of playable materials the forthcoming sequel will have. Now, it looks like fans of the science fiction shooter franchise will have even more details to parse through, for it appears as though a leaked video of what looks to be a behind-the-scenes gameplay feature for the title has leaked online, showing off a companion droid and its abilities, as well as Emperor Palpatine’s Sentinel....
