It was an interesting move on Game Freak’s part to not include the National PokeDex in Pokemon Sword and Shield. While no Pokemon have been added to that roster since the Crown Tundra DLC, the Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl roster gave fans access to all Pokemon from the first four generations. However, that leaves three other generations with Pokemon still completely absent in Generation Eight. While the National Dex’s arguable strongest members (i....

Throughout the company’s 27 years as a console manufacturer, Sony has built up an impressive collection of fantastic first-party development studios. From Naughty Dog to Insomniac Games, there aren’t too many genres that they don’t have covered, and this has played a huge part in the PS4’s success. Over the last decade, Sony has published some of the best games ever created and they’ve all been exclusive to PlayStation consoles. Although Microsoft seems to be making moves of its own on the exclusivity front, it’s difficult to see how the company could ever truly compete with Sony’s amazing lineup of games....

Although the Alien series is best known for its movie franchise, the films have had a huge effect on the world of video games. From the alien invaders of Contra to the claustrophobic, imposing environments of Dead Space, the barbed-tailed legacy of the xenomorph can be felt across many games - and that’s without even mentioning the Metroid series. When it comes to video games based on the universe of Ellen Ripley and Weyland-Yutani as a whole, however, things become a little bit hit-and-miss....

Movie soundtracks can be a mixed bag. Some movies will have epic scores, like The Lord of the Rings series or the Harry Potter films. Certain films will forever live in infamy for their iconic themes, like how anyone will know the opening tune of every Star Wars movie. While most of these movies are not centered on music, it’s undeniable that the tunes behind them will forever live on in viewer’s hearts, minds, and ears....

Most people rarely think about upgrading their PSU until they notice their PCs are becoming unstable due to the lack of power. But this year is a little different.

Originally scheduled for December 10, before a certain major RPG release took that date, The Medium is one of the most anticipated titles of the first quarter of 2021, being one of the first big console exclusives for Xbox Series X. The game was announced during Microsoft’s Xbox Series X gameplay reveal event back in May from Blair Witch and Observer: System Redux developer Bloober Team as a Series X/S and PC exclusive horror game, which has since been delayed to January 28, 2021....

This Star Wars: The Bad Batch review contains spoilers. Star Wars: The Bad Batch Episode 11 The Bad Batch take a back seat in their own show, and it turns out that’s a good thing in “Devil’s Deal,” which was directed by Steward Lee and written by Tamara Becher-Wilkinson. The clones’ brief appearance is full of quality character moments, but this story is really all about the Twi’leks. Once a rebel leader against Separatist invaders, guerrilla fighter Cham Syndulla is now mellowing out under the Empire … but that doesn’t last very long....

Last week, it was reported that Star Wars Battlefront 2’s controversial loot box system, and similar systems seen in other games like Overwatch, were being investigated by Belgium’s gaming commission. Now Belgium’s gaming commission has announced its conclusion, and it has determined that loot boxes are gambling.

For all of the rightful criticism directed towards EA over the past few years for their treatment of the Star Wars IP, there is no denying that Jedi: Fallen Order is one of the most exceptional Star Wars games out there. It was a hit commercially and critically, with fans and professionals alike. With the exception of playing on the Grandmaster difficulty, it is relatively easy to get through the game, with the story, characters, and play being more critical....

EA didn’t need to upgrade Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order’s graphics on PS5, Xbox Series X, and Xbox Series S.

But surprise, Star Wars fans! Jedi: Fallen Order just got a next-gen update to make the game even better on Sony and Microsoft’s latest home console offerings....

One of the first things that new players will need to learn in Stranded Deep is the ability to ready different foods, as starving from hunger is one of the easiest ways to die in the game. Finding food is an easy task. Not puking one’s guts out over eating a raw crab, however, is a little harder. Cooking is just one of many in-game challenges for survival. Thankfully, around each and every island is a myriad of different edible plants and animals, including various crabs, boar, and even some dangerously delicious sharks, whose dangerous encounters are proving once and for all just who is the alpha on top of the food chain....
