As Sony begins to tease its next major console with the PlayStation 5, the clock has begun ticking on the PS4. It’s only a matter of time before development on games shifts completely from a PS4 focus, or even a split-gen focus, to wholly PlayStation 5 products. It’s for that reason that gamers might be concerned about upcoming Sony exclusives and whether they may skip the PS4 and launch for PS5....
Warning! The Nun spoilers await! The growing number of films in The Conjuring shared universe have a surprisingly solid track record. The Nun is the latest piece of backstory in this complex series and it not only doesn’t diminish the overall integrity of the franchise, but it also expands the boundaries of the series’ universe in some ambitious ways. The Nun ending is key to that. The Nun’s major purpose is to shine a light on how the franchise’s big threat and Conjuring 2 baddie, Valak, comes into existence....

It’s no secret that Lucasfilm’s next big Star Wars series, Obi-Wan Kenobi, will be filled to the brim with nostalgia and fan service. The first trailer confirmed the show will bring back Luke Skywalker, Uncle Ben, and Aunt Beru on Tatooine; the Inquisitors from the Rebels animated series will be hunting Kenobi; and Darth Vader is back for revenge. And there are plenty of rumors and leaks out there suggesting that these are only a fraction of the cameos and callbacks in this six-episode limited series....
A dedicated fan built this LEGO model of the Millennium Falcon out of more than 7,500 bricks, which took more than a year to build, trumping even the official LEGO version. The Millennium Falcon may be the most popular star ship in the entire Star Wars universe, an object of adoration from fans of the sci-fi series. Han Solo’s fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy got fans more excited than ever when it showed up in the trailers for Star Wars: The Force Awakens, further pushing the hype surrounding the new movie....
While the recent news that Ubisoft is making a Star Wars game doesn’t necessarily spell the absolute end of EA’s controversial time with the series, it does mean the start of a new and potentially glorious era in which major Star Wars games will once again be made by more than one studio. Not long after we learned EA will no longer be the (mostly) exclusive home of Star Wars games, fans everywhere started dreaming of the projects that are now possible as a terrible ten-year deal comes to an end....
There are tons of animals in Stardew Valley that you can have on your farm. They’ll produce a variety of different products that you can eat, sell, upgrade into artisan goods, and more. One of these animals is the blue chicken. This chicken functions just like a normal chicken, but it is a beautiful shade of blue and has a curly tail. Blue chickens will lay regular eggs, meaning that they provide no new materials, but they are definitely a must-have on your farm....
If there’s a sense of planetary alignment in the timing of Steve McQueen’s Small Axe – five films about London’s West Indian community airing weekly from this Sunday on BBC One – it’s not by design. Over a decade in the making, the creators couldn’t have known that these stories would land in a year marked by both the global Black Lives Matter protests sparked by the murder of George Floyd, and the disproportionately devastating impact of Covid-19 on black communities in the UK....
It’s been nearly two years since we last saw the kids from Hawkins, Indiana up to their crazy shenanigans. After an explosive Season 3 finale that involved an epic battle with a giant monster at Starcourt Mall, fans of the sci-fi series were left itching to see what could possibly come next. On September 30, 2019, Netflix confirmed that Stranger Things would be renewed for a fourth season as part of a multi-year deal with the Duffer brothers; however, the production and release date of the next installment was ultimately pushed back due to the COVID-19 pandemic....
Warning: this review contains spoilers. This isn’t promising. As a TV show, Strike‘s appeal has never been the ingenuity of its cases, with their cardboard characters, pantomime twists and baroque plotting. Instead, it’s always been about the chemistry between leads Tom Burke and Holliday Grainger, and an all-round sense of retro comfort. In the first episode of four-part series Troubled Blood, the chemistry was missing and the retro comfort had been swapped for a retro case that sucked the energy out....
I used to play Pokémon. I still have fond memories of wandering around Pallet Town, of saving the world and crushing my rivals, of having my team of tiny monsters with fantastic powers defeating all who stood before me in my inexorable march to League Champion. I remember loving those virtual creatures like I would real life pets, giving them food and scritches from time to time by pulling out my DS from my back pocket....

A DLC pack available on Super Monkey Ball: Banana Mania’s launch day will allow you to traverse the game’s courses as classic Sega consoles. Nintendo’s E3 Direct was so jam-packed with new games and additional information that you may have forgotten some of the non-tentpole announcements. Super Monkey Ball: Banana Mania, for example. The rebooted series will return this fall via a collection of Super Monkey Ball remasters. It will also celebrate other corners of the Sega universe in some pretty unique ways....
When I say I “took a break” from Valheim, what I mean is that my computer broke and I needed to wait for a new one to arrive before rejoining the server I’ve been part of for the last few months. We only play once or twice a week, so we’re not exactly at endgame - I covered how brilliantly terrible the swamp is a couple of weeks back, for example, before documenting my three-day odyssey to reclaim my easily replaced items because I am a stubborn idiot....
Terminator: Salvation had so much potential when it hit theaters in 2009. Instead of following the T-800’s story or undoing the bleak ending to Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines, Salvation boasted a new story that finally gave us the heroic John Connor who has been promised since the first movie in 1984. With writing support from Jonathan Nolan and starring Christian Bale, both of whom had just made the mega-smash The Dark Knight, and co-starring Anton Yelchin as Kyle Reese, with then-up-and-coming Sam Worthington as cyborg Marcus Wright, Salvation seemed like the rare prequel that could effectively stand alongside the later films....
It’s often a controversial decision, but the people behind the Pokémon series do like to base Pokémon on inanimate objects. These designs are often criticized or called “stupid,” but many of them fly under the radar. Regardless of their controversial nature for the people who hate fun, many of these designs are actually great. From car keys to batteries, your parents’ junk drawer could be the inspiration for the next inanimate object Pokémon....
The Destiny franchise has a checkered past with in-game storytelling. When Destiny originally launched, it lacked an impactful story and left fans more confused than satisfied. However, as the series progressed, so too did the stories and missions. Now, with Bungie getting ready to unfold a dark new narrative in Destiny 2: Forsaken, we’re going to take a look back and highlight 15 of the best missions in Destiny history....
Nintendo has some of the hottest selling series of all time including Mario, Pokemon, and The Legend of Zelda. Where do they, and the rest of Nintendo’s portfolio, add up in terms of franchise sales. The results may be surprising. In fact, some fan favorites did not make the top ten. Nintendogs made it to number eleven. Metroid is at number twelve. Star Fox is at thirteen and the list goes on....
Matt Reeves’ The Batman kicked off a new era of Dark Knight tales earlier this year, one in which a broody Robert Pattinson punishes criminals night after night while completely shedding the billionaire playboy persona that has long defined Bruce Wayne in pop culture. It’s definitely a different take than general audiences are used to seeing in theaters. But this year’s film marks the beginning of just the latest era of Batman movies for Warner Bros....
The PSP was Sony’s first foray into trying to dethrone Nintendo as the king of the handheld market. While the console did not reach the same commercial heights as the Nintendo DS, it was still an incredible device in its own right. It amassed a large library of games over its lifespan, populated with some of the finest RPGs ever made. While many of the best games have since been ported to other consoles, several RPGs are still stuck on the older piece of hardware, forcing players to buy a PSP or a Vita to play the game via the PlayStation Store....
