This story is presented by: Characters don’t usually last too long on AMC’s zombie epic The Walking Dead. Frequent, major character deaths are bound to happen amid a dangerous post-apocalyptic environment rife with ravenous corpses. The culling of cast is also just a fact of life for a physically demanding acting job that requires performers to endure grueling Georgia summers for an indeterminate number of seasons. At this point in The Walking Dead’s run, the number of significant dead characters are sure to outnumber the living....

In a series with so many different gadgets and items that made Watch Dogs what it is, the standard weapons take a little bit of a backseat compared to the usual shooter. However, they’re still what gets the job done when the going gets tough, providing the most reliable form of backup and the most natural to the players using them. In any game, certain weapons stand out from the rest of the pack....

There are myriad schools of thought in stealth games, but two of the most common are social stealth v sneaking stealth. The latter category is filled with games inspired by Splinter Cell and Metal Gear Solid, while the former is the domain of Hitman and Assassin’s Creed. It is, however, the Hitman franchise that pioneered this disguise-based form of stealth, and made it great. There have been several games in the main franchise, each with its own strengths and weaknesses....

Immortals Fenyx Rising is the latest release from Ubisoft and sees players venture to the world of ancient Greece, where they become the hero of their very own epic adventure. The game is filled with mythical monsters, Greek gods, and all the quests, puzzles, and challenges you could ever want. Considering that the game was inspired by an Assassin’s Creed Odyssey bug, there were a few raised eyebrows as to whether it would be any good, but Fenyx Rising has been garnering many positive reviews, including our own....

Added during the move from Flash game to the full release of The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth, the astrological sign items are some neat, themed passive upgrades that poor Isaac can encounter and pick up during his dangerous jaunts through the basement. They are also quite a bit less bizarre than some of the other elements of this game. While players may see them regularly these days after so many DLC releases, including the long-awaited Repentance pack, some of the astrological signs are still incredibly powerful items that will bless any run....

Resident Evil Village is just around the corner, with its release less than two months away.

Given that Resident Evil Village is shaping up to be one of the hottest horror games of the year, it is unsurprising that theories on specific details of its story keep surfacing online....

The developers at Ubisoft Massive officially reveal the weekly list of assignments for May 16-22 in the military action-MMO, Tom Clancy’s The Division. Without a doubt, most of the 9.5 million registered users for Tom Clancy’s The Division are currently taking part in completing the whole list of assignments in the game for this week, as developers recently revealed the tasks for its missions reset. After starting on Monday, May 16 and ending on Sunday, May 22, The Division’s would-be Agents now have a little less than six calendar days to complete all of the duties, but even though it may not seem like a lot of time to some, it can be done with enough effort....

This The Good Lord Bird review contains spoilers. The Good Lord Bird Episode 2 During several moments of tonight’s The Good Lord Bird, my mind was whisked back to thoughts of My Fair Lady—or at least George Bernard Shaw’s Pygmalion. In those texts, two confirmed old bachelors in Edwardian England think it is their privilege, if not duty, to remake a poor flower girl into their perfect image. It’s a tale of possessive manipulation and outright obliviousness....

The Last of Us 2 took seven years to make, and everyone can agree that a lot of hard work and time went into Last of Us 2’s development. This is clearly a game that the devs cared a lot about creating, but something also has to be said for the incredible creations fans have put out. One major fan of the series took to Twitter to share a pretty cool work of art....

The highly anticipated PlayStation exclusive and sequel to what many consider to be one of the greatest games of all time, The Last of Us Part II, was recently featured as a clue on the long running trivia show, Jeopardy. A contestant by the name of Xiaoke answered the question correctly, earning her $2,000 and moving her into 2nd place. “The long-awaited upcoming sequel to this PlayStation game revisits Ellie and Joel after a cross country trek filled with zombies”, read legendary host Alex Trebek as he revealed the clue....

Rapture is a beautiful place. It’s one of the most iconic locales in gaming, even if its view on philosophy and objectivism seems rather one-note all these years later. But it was groundbreaking at the time, and is still a poignant place to revisit even today. Irrational Games created a dark, layered utopia that had crumbled to ruin, leaving the player to explore its gutted carcass to uncover not only its premature downfall, but also their own reason for landing in this exact city at this exact time in history....

With the renaissance Star Trek has had over the last few years, we have seen many actors from the old series revisit their roles. Picard, Guinan, Seven of Nine, Riker (in live-action and animated form), so perhaps we should not have been surprised to find Kate Mulgrew, the actor behind Star Trek Voyager’s Captain Kathryn Janeway, return in the new, kid-orientated and animated Star Trek series, Star Trek: Prodigy. “It’s like riding a bicycle!...

Stardew Valley is the work of one developer - Eric Barone, who also goes by the handle “ConcernedApe”. The game was a labour of love from a man who wanted a modern Harvest Moon-style game on PC, but Stardew Valley has arguably passed its inspiration since, becoming a phenomenon in its own right. In fact, Stardew Valley itself is now a source of inspiration for other developers. Eric Barone is extremely wealthy now....

Sega and Creative Assembly are feeling particularly generous, given the challenging times we’re living in. To help gamers stave off boredom while stuck at home, Sega’s going to give away free copies of Total War: Shogun 2 for free on Steam. Steam users just need to download Shogun 2 to have it permanently added to their libraries, though it isn’t free quite yet. Total War: Shogun 2 is somewhat of an older Creative Assembly game, having been released in 2011....

If you’re a newcomer to the Story of Seasons franchise, then Story of Seasons: Friends of Mineral Town can feel a little overwhelming at first. While the basic ideas of tending a farm, befriending townspeople, raising animals, and making money are obvious, how to achieve all these at once can become confusing. The first thing you’ll notice is that the task list is long and the days are short. So how do you make the most of your time?...

Netflix’s Stranger Things was one of the many film and television projects forced to suspend production earlier this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. While the temporary shutdown was a setback, executive producer Shawn Levy believes there was a benefit from the delays that could result in the fourth season of the series being the best one to date. The beginning of production on Stranger Things season 4 was heralded by Netflix with a behind-the-scenes video featuring the cast and crew of the series reuniting for a table read....

Activision went off the grid with this Call of Duty teaser, but still no new game announcement. Last week, gaming content creators, like the team at the Call of Duty blog CharlieIntel and gaming outlet IGN, received a package from Activision with a specific date and time instructions for opening.
