Din Djarin doesn’t want to be involved in galactic war. He just wants to find a happy life for his kid, Grogu. But like Rebels, the animated show that took on the bulk of Star Wars storytelling outside of the movies before Disney+ was a thing, The Mandalorian has gradually become more connected to the rest of the saga. Set after the fall of the Empire, the live-action series has already touched on the Mandalorian civil war, Ahsoka Tano’s search for Grand Admiral Thrawn, and even brought in elements from Legends canon....

DICE confirms that it is prioritizing frame rate over resolution in the console versions of Star Wars Battlefront, stating that ‘fidelity is indeed king’. When the Star Wars Battlefront beta launched, it proved to be so popular that it gained an extension until October 13. However, investigation proved that the fears of some console gamers were true, and that the title was running at 900p on PS4 and a mere 720p on Xbox One....

Plenty of new Star Wars games are in production from Ubisoft’s upcoming “groundbreaking” title to whatever EA is cooking through to the brand new Nintendo Switch title, Star Wars Hunters. It’s a free-to-play, online, competitive third-person shooter. It’s coming at some point in 2021 for the Switch, developed by Zynga and Lucasfilm. Not much else is known about this new Star Wars game, as all that was shown was a variety of characters in a quick glimmer in what appeared to be Jabba’s palace before cutting to the title card....

EVs - or Effort Values - are a mechanic in Pokemon that affect each of a Pokemon’s six stats: Health, Attack, Defense, Special Attack, Special Defense, and Speed. They’re a super useful feature that can give your Pokemon an edge over the competition. Pokemon gain EVs by beating other Pokemon, taking vitamins, or super training. The maximum number of EVs one Pokemon can have is 510, with a max of 255 in any one stat....

The Clay Bottle, now just referred to as the Water Bottle, is a craftable vessel for water that can carry five servings at once. This makes it the largest water vessel in Stranded Deep, and it’s also probably the hardest to get. Compared to the simple Coconut Flask and even the Leather Water Flask, which is easier to come by if your first few islands have a decent supply of boar, the process behind crafting a Water Bottle is a bit more complicated....

It’s always wise to read descriptions of games in detail before purchasing from any outlet, but one version of Streets of Rage 4 makes a particularly good case for this practice. Copies of the game purchased from GOG.com are missing an important feature that is present in other versions. The retro throwback, Streets of Rage 4, is a sequel longtime fans have been waiting for. The beat ’em up offers lots of nostalgia, including plenty of returning characters, as well as a few fresh ones, like newcomer Floyd Iraia, who sports cybernetic arms....

One of the most challenging areas in Super Metroid has Samus explore a biome almost completely submerged in water. What makes it even more challenging is the labyrinthine layout of the area, which requires that you enter from a specific point on the map. This guide will show you how to navigate through Maridia and how to get the three major upgrades found within one of the major areas of arguably the best game in the franchise....

Capcom recently surprised launched its very own deck-building card game called Teppen that features characters from its various video game franchises, including Resident Evil, Street Fighter, Monster Hunter, and more. As with similar card games, it’s important for players to go into each match with as strong of a deck as possible, and Reddit user GurenFrog may have discovered one of the most overpowered decks in the game. GurenFrog has created a Morrigan deck in Teppen that has an 85% win rate....

It seems that just about every online game faces server woes on launch day in the current era of gaming, and Anthem’s VIP Demo appears to be no different. The beta test had a heap of issues earlier today, at one point crashing not only the game’s servers but all of Origin itself. Now, a tester and ResetEra user by the name of Gossi has claimed that the game’s connection issues could get far worse....

To many on the outside, going indie in the games industry seems like the perfect chance to get all wacky with your ideas. There’s no CEO or investors making decisions for you, so you can throw any idea at the wall and see what sticks. Do you want 700 different enemy types? Just go for it! That’s not reflective of reality, though. Despite how prominent and well known of an indie studio that you might be, money will always be a concern....

The Red Dead series is no stranger to the wild and wacky nature of its American Western setting. The openness and the mystery of the wild frontier leave little excuse to exclude any bizarre possibility that could occur. Ghost tales, aliens, monsters, historical artifacts, and madmen/madwomen; Red Dead Redemption 2 has them all and then some. Arthur Morgan and John Marston serve as the perfect vehicles, being men of malleable characters and disposition, in order to properly experience or even execute the wild and bizarre actions within their famous setting....

This article contains major The Batman spoilers. Our spoiler-free review is here. We’ve witnessed this scene before in a Batman movie. A Dark Knight and his feline companion stand by a motorcycle, parting ways for what feels like forever—but probably won’t be. It’s the final scene in Matt Reeves’ sinewy The Batman, and it echoes a similar moment from Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight Rises (2012): Catwoman asks Batman to come with her and give up on this hellhole they call a city; he refuses....

DC FanDome brought a lot of news to fans of DC and the caped crusader, including the first trailer for Matt Reeves’ The Batman. That “teaser” trailer was a lengthy look at the upcoming darker version of Batman - starring Robert Pattinson in the titular role - and it has been reported that filming for this exciting project is due to wrap. Filming for The Batman has been progressing throughout last year, despite several halts due to the pandemic....

This article contains major MCU spoilers It’s been a wild ride in a post-Thanos world, and in the aftermath of the Blip, it’s a very different Marvel Cinematic Universe. We can’t believe it’s been three years since Avengers: Endgame dusted the Mad Titan, but since then we’ve had everything from multiple Spider-Men to the Multiverse, a black Captain America to a female Thor, Egyptian gods to Celestials, and everything in between....

The historical Golden Age of Piracy was already over by the mid-1700s, but after a revival in the popular imagination in the late 1800s the period has been plundered for novel narratives, movies, and, more recently, video games. Pirate games span a wide variety of genres from point-and-click adventures to action-oriented multiplayer experiences, but all of them aim to capture the type of over-the-top swashbuckling adventure established over more than a century of stories about buccaneers and buried booty....

The next iteration of the WWE 2K franchise is currently being worked on. After the technical issues and ensuing negative reaction to WWE 2K20, the series was put on hold while the developer Visual Concepts went back to the drawing board. There was no official confirmation as to why WWE 2K21 was canceled, but a large portion of fans believe it’s likely due to the negative launch of the last game in the series....

Chores are the worst - there’s no getting around that. As they go, mowing a lawn can be one of the hardest, too, especially if you’re dealing with a big area. Ignore it at your peril, though, to avoid being overrun by a meadow of long grass before you know it. Best cordless mowers: Wireless mowing for the longer spring days If you’re tired of pushing around your mower for hours at a time, or a ride-on option just doesn’t make any sense for you, you might wonder whether you can pick up an automated robot mower, much like a robot vacuum, to do the work for you without any effort....

One of the things that made Batman: The Animated Series an unrivaled ’90s superhero cartoon was its ability to cater to both kids and adult fans at the same time. It was a show that went much deeper with its storytelling than some of its lighter counterparts. Sure, there were plenty of villain of the week stories, but they were usually presented in ways that shed light on different aspects of Batman’s psyche, his mission, and the world around him....

Today, the video game publisher and developer Ubisoft revealed an official story trailer for its forthcoming action-RPG shooter, Tom Clancy’s The Division 2, with the footage showing its version of Washington D.C. on the brink of complete civil collapse.
