Interchangeable, colorful, and removable: the Nintendo Switch’s Joy-Cons are perhaps the most unique part about the Nintendo Switch console. Why not pick up a pair that expresses personality? Or don’t and get simple grey ones instead. Ever since the Nintendo Switch graced the lives of game-playing peoples, Switch personalization has been at the forefront of Nintendo’s marketing. This includes the many Joy-Con colors that the Nintendo store has on offer. They offer a wide range of choices from sleek to bold to limited-edition special varieties....

With many open world games being basked in America, whether its the Grand Theft Auto series satirizing US culture and the idea of the American dream, Or Far Cry borrowing climates from various areas, few games give Europe the due diligence it deserves. Europe is full of different cultures and mesmerizing architecture that would be great to explore in a video game given today’s physics and graphics. But as the popularity of open world games still continues to grow, few of them look for influence across the pond, favoring fictional worlds or the east or west coast of North America....

Back in the olden times, board games were static and unchanging. While players could get replacement pieces, there was seldom any new supplemental content provided to add to the experience. There were expansions for PC games for almost as long as there were PC games, yet it wasn’t until the collectible card game craze of the mid-’90s that expansion packs for board games began to get popular. There are only two criteria for a game to make this list; it must have over 100 votes (to increase the accuracy of the score) and only one expansion per base game is allowed....

If the PlatinumGames team are known for anything, it’s for going absolutely you-know-whats to the wall whenever and wherever they can. Flashy, dramatic, hectic and super fun action titles are the studio’s M.O. Who needs everything to make sense in a PlatinumGames title? Nobody, that’s who. We just need two things: umpteen thousand enemies to crush into sad specks of salty failure, plus the firepower to do so. PlatinumGames have delivered time and again, bringing us a parade of powerful protagonists to rack up combos and bring the pain with....

The Godfather, currently celebrating its 50th anniversary, is a perfect film. Every scene is an individual work of art. Francis Ford Coppola’s adaptation of Mario Puzo’s novel is never sloppy, but part of its olive oil charm lies in its blemishes. Some of the featured players were not professional actors, and uncomfortable scenes play out in lingering real time. The Godfather has been criticized for glorifying violence, and it certainly has its share....

This article contains mild spoilers Ah, January. A fresh year, a chance to start again, with resolutions restored and hope renewed everywhere! Well, almost everywhere. If you go to the theater, you’ll likely find holdovers and awards favorites released in the final months of the previous year; the respectable stuff that does well around Oscar season. But the new offerings tend to be pretty dire. That’s when studios release dreck like the re-Heated Pacino/De Niro team-up Righteous Kill or dorm room staple The Boondock Saints....

At the time, the N64 was amazing. I may be alone in this opinion, but the Nintendo 64 is the company’s worst home console. Their biggest failure was undoubtedly the Virtual Boy. I’m not crazy here. It was our first taste at 3D with Nintendo, which was a tremendous evolution for the industry. What was mind blowing back then, is ugly and clunky in terms of the graphics and gameplay mechanics....

Warning! Contains major spoilers for The Nun, The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It, and all Conjuring movies! It’s kind of perfect that the only two successful major shared cinematic universes out there are superheroes and horror. Comics have been telling a sprawling, interconnected story since their inception, while the first connected film universe ever, the Universal Monsters, was a horror franchise. The Conjuring’s Annabelle, Valak, the Nun, and the Crooked Man are no Frankenstein’s Monster or Dracula, but the mission is the same: scaring as many people as possible....

The first expansion for The Division 2, Warlords of New York, is finally here and marks several important changes for the game. First is the exciting continuation of narrative content that players have come to love over the past year, but there is also a total revamp to gear, a cleanup of the UI, and the addition of Seasons that should provide all players with a fair, predictable path towards progression....

The first Evil Within was a promising start to a new franchise, but did not do enough to feel like a true evolution of the over-the-shoulder survival horror gameplay pioneered by Resident Evil 4. The sequel, 2017’s Evil Within 2, expands upon the formula significantly, adding more open areas and improving on the stealth mechanics for a truly new experience. While it sadly looks like a third game will not reach fans in the foreseeable future, the second title is living on as a cult classic as new legions of fans discover it....

Though The Last of Us 2 has been surrounded by controversy, the game has done very well. The PS4 exclusive title has been out for less than two months, but the game has shown its extreme popularity at an incredible rate. With numbers like these, the game has reached record-breaking heights in the sales department, both in the US and around the world. While The Last of Us 2 was the ranked the 4th best selling game of July, it ranked number 1 in its first month released to the public....

This article contains spoilers for The Last of Us Part II Character moments define The Last of Us Part II. Ellie and Abby’s journeys are full of moments that pull at your heartstrings or cause you to feel anger of your own. They make decisions that affect others as much as themselves with a whole supporting cast behind them. But those side characters are some of the best components of The Last of Us Part II, making choices of their own, affecting gameplay, and giving the player people to relate to as they also experience the horrible things Ellie and Abby do throughout the story....

While Stalker 2: Heart Of Chernobyl will have a much larger world than its predecessors, there won’t be any vehicles available to the players this time, GSC Game World has confirmed. There is a good reason behind this from the lore perspective that fans of the series will surely understand. The studio’s PR manager Zakhar Bocharov has spoken about Stalker 2’s open-world environment and its unique features in a new interview with DTF....

Marvel film fans should be used to unexpected cameos from one of the comic industry’s biggest names - Stan Lee. The iconic writer/creator of numerous Marvel properties - including Spider-Man, Fantastic Four, Incredible Hulk, Iron Man, Thor - has appeared in a number of the studio’s film properties as everything from a local pick-up truck driver to a Hugh Hefner look-alike. That said, one place comic fans probably didn’t expect Stan Lee to pop-up?...

This Star Trek: Discovery article contains spoilers for “People of Earth” and some decades old episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation. Despite landing in a future in which the Federation’s influence has been greatly diminished, Star Trek: Discovery Season 3 is shaping up to be far less dark and dystopic than many predicted. In Episode 3, “People of Earth,” the USS Discovery visited the home planet of the Federation, and although that visit was a mixed bag, things did end on a very hopeful note—one that is even more hopeful when you understand the canon significance of a certain giant tree....

Everyone knows that the show Star Trek: Picard is about the post-Next Generation adventures of Jean-Luc Picard. But, what the new trailer for Picard Season 2 presupposes is, maybe this show is secretly all about Seven of Nine? Happy Captain Picard Day, everyone! Paramount+ has just released a new teaser-trailer for Picard Season 2, and, among the many twists and reveals, the most interesting and canon-changing might just be what happens to Seven of Nine at the very end of the trailer…...

Star Wars: Squadrons is finally out in the wild, and with cross-console capabilities, gamers from all over will be forming friendships and making enemies. As one of the biggest releases in October, players will choose a side, a ship, and clash head-to-head. While winning is always a goal in the back of players’ minds, the immediate fun comes with blowing up other players and their starships. And no fighter does that better than the interceptor....

There are two games that are hailed far and wide for their relaxing and chill nature: Stardew Valley and Animal Crossing (especially the new entry in the series, New Horizons). If you’re looking to take a break from the hustle and bustle of real life, or even other games, kick back and chillax to the peaceful, calming atmosphere of these two classics. But, which one is more relaxing? Some people find one more relaxing (or more stressful) than the other, so it comes down to personality and taste....
