Contrary to very, very recent rumors around The Last of Us suggesting that Mahershala Ali would be taking a lead role in HBO’s The Last of Us series, it turns out the real casting news was just around the corner and just as exciting. Now it turns out that The Mandalorian’s Pedro Pascal will star as Joel in the upcoming show, and this time, it’s for real. The highly-anticipated series, headed by the game’s creative director and writer Neil Druckmann as well as Chernobyl creator Craig Mazin, has apparently finally found its two leads....

Back in 2012, after a nightmarish production necessitating a litany of delays and reshoots, Dredd finally made it to screens across the world. And thanks to a half-hearted marketing campaign by the studio, it failed to make a splash at the box office and its planned sequels were called off. That’s a real shame, because it’s one of the greatest comic book movies ever made, and in a world that carries well-made comic book movies around on its shoulders, it’s massively underappreciated....

A once Stadia exclusive Bomberman game may be headed to PC. Super Bomberman R Online launched on Google Stadia last year as an exclusive on the streaming service, but now the game could be branching out to other platforms as well. Super Bomberman R Online was in many was a re-release and re-imagination of the Nintendo Switch launch game Super Bomberman R. The title was not overly well-received, but it stuck to the Bomberman formula....

Student. Jedi Knight. Commander. Deserter. Rebel leader. Ahsoka Tano has been a lot of things in her life, perhaps more than anyone could have expected when she first appeared on screen as an outspoken teenager in The Clone Wars theatrical feature. After her sad exit from The Clone Wars animated series and the show’s cancelation, fans worried that they had seen the last of this beloved character, whom many will argue is the most important creation from the TV universe....

Every Story of Seasons fan knows just how important making days for the mine can be. Mining allows players to collect the ore that’s needed for tool upgrades, as well as rare gems. Upgrades make farming life much easier, and gems are great for turning a huge profit or gaining tons of friendship points with the townsfolk. Learning to maneuver through the mines in each game is an art, especially since Pioneers of Olive Town does things much differently....

Street Fighter 5’s final season is rolling on, and Rose is finally available in everyone’s favourite fighting game that lacks good netcode. Rose is the legendary mystic that has always been interesting to play, but her appearance in SF5 might be her most interesting incarnation yet.

Streets of Rage 4 is set to be a modernized continuation of the classic retro series, and gamers will allegedly be able to enjoy the brawling beat-em-up while in self-isolation from April 23. It should be noted, however, that the game’s developers ended a recent “Retro Reveal” trailer with a vaguer “Coming Soon....

Dr. Disrespect’s recent ban from E3 and Twitch has been the talk of the town on the livestreaming platform, and it seems like another streamer is benefiting from it. Not long after the strike-down, Doc’s viewers began flooding Summit1G’s channel in hopes of a reaction. As two of the most popular first-person shooter Twitch streamers, Summit and Dr. Disrespect have long been rivals. Summit, who has recently been streaming the World of Warcraft Classic beta, acknowledged Doc’s ban by simply noticing a spike in his own viewership....

So that post-apocalyptic city-building simulation from Iceflake Studios is getting a surprise Switch release. That’s the news coming from the latest (and last) Nintendo Direct Mini Partners Showcase that surprise dropped today. Along with larger reveals for Hyrule Warriors: Age Of Calamity and No More Heroes, Iceflake decided to announce they’re going to port their strategy/survival game to the Switch.

You play as a tadpole called Baton, who has just hatched from her egg and is snatched away from her family by a thirsty pelican. After barely escaping from being digested, you now need to find your way back to your pond. It’s a cute little game that has plenty of charm....

A professor at NYU Game Center tried to teach a class about streaming on Twitch due to the coronavirus outbreak. It didn’t go well. Remember Robert Yang? The guy who made all those oddly sexualized video games like Succulent, Stick Shift, and The Tearoom? Well, he’s a university professor now. Guess all those funny/artistic/provocative games were good for something. Not only that, but Yang is also a professor at New York University’s prestigious Game Center teaching young game students all about the industry....

With Team Fortress 2’s countless updates, a significant ton of weapons have been added to the game. In total, there are 160 weapons in the game not including reskins. Each of these 160 weapons has unique stats and attributes that cater to a specific playstyle and strategy. Unfortunately, if you’re a Free-To-Play TF2 player, your backpack slot is only limited to 50 slots. But your variety and flexibility don’t have to be limited by the number of weapons your backpack is allowed to....

When it comes to indie developers, you don’t get many as widely loved as Klei Entertainment, the team behind Don’t Starve and Oxygen Not Included. The studio has been in business since 2005, releasing several creative and unique games, all the while maintaining and updating their massively popular Don’t Starve games. That’s why the news that Chinese publisher Tencent purchasing a majority stake in Klei Entertainment has the developer’s fans feeling uneasy....

It goes without saying that when one talks about some of the most enduring anime and manga series of all time, then Naruto pretty much takes the cake in that regard. There are very few long-term shonen shows that can truly maintain their stride by the end, and while we’re not saying that Naruto managed to accomplish such an impossible feat, it sure did come oh-so-close. The characters, world, and story are just a few of the many elements that have truly helped transcend this series to the very next level in terms of critical success and commercial popularity....

Mario Kart is amazing, but if you’re only racing your friends, you’re missing out on one of the best parts of the game: searching for shortcuts. Don’t tell me you haven’t spent hours driving backward on a course just to find a way to save a few seconds. We’ve all tried it before. The shortcut world is a fun one, but it takes a lot of course-searching, research, and practice. We recommend watching lots of YouTube videos, especially to conquer some of the difficult ones....

With Star Wars: Squadrons, fans of the beloved franchise have their fourth game in this new era delivered under the often criticized EA banner, and it has definitely been the most unique release of all four thus far. It is a smaller game than those that came previously, and one that had many fans hotly anticipating its release right from the initial announcement. As it has been released, it is clear that the game is not perfect, and even though it never seemed to aim for these heights, it does not compare to the likes of Jedi: Fallen Order....
