I don’t think I’m overstating when I say that Avatar: The Last Airbender is one of the most important pieces of kids television ever created. Its beautiful animation inspired by Japanese anime paired wonderfully with its story of a young boy that offered the world hope. But it was the fantastic group of characters that truly sold it. Aang was sympathetic as a boy who was being forced to put his childhood on hold to save the world....

Next week, Bloober Team will be officially launching The Medium, an Xbox Series X console exclusive horror game that serves as one of the studio’s most ambitious projects to date. With just a little over a week to go until The Medium’s release date, developer Bloober Team has released another video as part of its Premonition series that gives fans some deeper insight into the game and what they can expect from it come January 28....

At a time when a countless number of games are released every year from so many sources, it’s inevitable that the majority of new releases will go overlooked. Even still, we’re looking at yet another year where the best games of the year are also some of the most underrated. In a better world, the quality of these games would cut through the confusion, the social media chatter, and search engine algorithms to generate more noise for themselves when they’re released....

Warning: This Star Trek: Picard article contains spoilers through Episode 10. Data is dead. Long live Data! One of the most important characters in Star Trek: Picard Season 1 ended up being a character who has been dead for 18 years. Yes, we’re talking about Lieutenant Commander Data, that brave and curious soul who served under Jean-Luc Picard’s command on the U.S.S. Enterprise and later sacrificed his life for his friend and boss....

A series of tweets from multiple Star Wars Battlefront 2 actors is leading many fans to believe a mysterious new project may be in the works. Although the posts come from November 2020, many Battlefront fans are just now piecing the evidence together. Originally released in 2017, Star Wars Battlefront 2 was met with an extreme amount of controversy. Publisher EA’s implementation of loot boxes led the gaming community at large to accuse the title of being “pay to win....

Stardew Valley is a Cottagecore game, and as such, the main focus is your rural life. In Pelican Town, you can befriend villagers, discover secrets, find love, or even fight monsters. However, the main gameplay feature is your farm, the crops you’re going to harvest, and how much money you can make from them. Seeing how many types of seeds you can plant can be overwhelming, then you also have to pay attention to seasons, fertilizers, grow times, farm maps, etc....

Once you’ve played a few days of Story of Seasons: Friends Of Mineral Town, you’ll likely notice a strange gift in your mailbox, Van’s Favorite. This bottle of what is presumably traveling vendor Van’s preferred tipple may seem like an obvious gift for the pet salesman but there’s actually a better way to profit from the item in the early game. Here’s how to get your hands on these valuable bottles and how to trade them in order to rake in the gold....

The video game publisher and developer Capcom continues to expand the roster of its fighting game, Street Fighter 5, by adding Kolin as a playable character. Yesterday, Capcom declared it would give Street Fighter 5 fans something to look forward to by scheduling a new character reveal for today, but the publisher and developer didn’t offer any clues as to who would be joining the roster. As it happens, Capcom followed through on its promise and confirmed that Kolin is officially going to be the next DLC character making their way in to Street Fighter 5....

As the My Hero Academia story continues, the complexity of Quirks only seems to get more convoluted. Originally, MHA told fans that Quirks were like muscles and they had a hard-defined upper limit. Then, during the Forest Camp arc, the idea of breaking them down and building them back up was introduced to surpass that limit. Next, during the Overhaul Arc, Aizawa introduced the concept of a “Quirk Factor” that directly controls each Quirk....

Nintendo recently aired a surprise Super Mario Direct in celebration of the series’ 35th anniversary, during which it was announced that two new Super Mario games will be coming to Nintendo Switch in early 2021. Although the Direct contains a variety of information about both Mario’s history and future, perhaps one of the biggest announcements to come from it has to do with the fact that Super Mario 3D Worlds and Bowser’s Fury are set to launch for Nintendo Switch on February 12, 2021....

It’s going to be a light fall for network TV, but it’s not all reruns and shows we don’t really care about. Supernatural will be back with its final episodes ever. We’ve known for a bit that The CW was planning on diving back into production on Supernatural in time for a fall premiere, but it wasn’t clear when exactly we would see new episodes. Now, we know. According to Deadline, Supernatural Season 15 will continue on Thursday, October 8th at 8pm ET with its fall premiere on The CW....

Developer of the indie darling Hollow Knight has opened up about what is in its plans for the future, and the games that could be coming down the line. While discussing development for the upcoming Hollow Knight: Silksong, the highly anticipated sequel to the popular metroidvania, Team Cherry made a quick mention about a new IP in its early stages behind the scenes. This newest word from Team Cherry comes from an interview with co-directors Ari Gibson and William Pellen, conducted by EDGE, where the duo were asked about possibly taking a break after finishing Hollow Knight: Silksong....

After recently being named one of the top 10 best-selling titles in digital game sales for PS4 in June 2017, Bandai Namco Entertainment’s Tekken 7 has now taken the number one spot on the NPD Group’s overall software sales charts for the month. Although the fighting game has technically been out for quite some time now before launching on PC and consoles – it was originally an arcade title – its positive performance in the market shows that the genre is still alive and kicking....

As expected, fans received the latest trailer for King of Fighters 15, a recent trend which occurs every Wednesday night announcing the latest addition to SNK’s ever-growing roster. What makes this announcement unique is that it features a character whose popularity transcends the King of Fighters series, making appearances in other titles outside of SNK’s IPs such as Super Smash Bros Ultimate and Fighting EX Layer. Terry Bogard’s inclusion in the King of Fighters 15 was up there with the likes of Kyo Kusanagi and Iori Yagami’s announcement so it wasn’t a matter of if he would be announced but when....

Kickstarter has been around for almost a decade now, or at least has been featured in the spotlight. It started out as a small place for an indie developer to get off the ground. It wouldn’t blossom into something bigger for gaming until the success Double Fine pulled off with Broken Age. Now the service is bigger than ever. What are the best stories individually though? The reviews pulled are all based on the highest Metacritic scores for platforms at launch....

This The 100 article contains MAJOR spoilers for the ending of the series. Who had “Most of Humanity Will Turn Into Groot-Shaped Beings of Energy?” on The 100 series finale Bingo card? If so, you guessed it! The CW series has finally come to an end and, after seven seasons, showrunner (and episode director) Jason Rothenberg has written a Battlestar Galactica-like ending that attempts to tie all the bloodshed that has come before up with a neat, tidy bow....

Warning: contains spoilers for The Bastard Son & The Devil Himself. Just weeks before it arrived on Netflix, YA fantasy adaptation Half Bad was given a new name. The eight-part take on Sally Green’s popular book series about 17-year-old Nathan’s struggle to emerge from the shadow of his notoriously evil father, dropped the original book title in favour of a bulkier option. The change to The Bastard Son & The Devil Himself “was a Netflix thing quite late in the day,” writer Joe Barton (The Lazarus Project, Giri/Haji) tells Den of Geek....

This weekend, many of us will meet the already iconic Lady Dimitrescu for the first time. Or, as many of us know her, the Big Vampire Lady. I haven’t played Resident Evil Village yet, so I’ve no idea how much of the game she’s in, whether she’ll live up to the hype, or whether she’s secretly a slithering mass of tentacles under her elegant silks. I’m sure once I’ve played it, I’ll have a lot to say about ol’ Lady D....

For a week now, hit markers in Call of Duty: Warzone have not been appearing consistently for players, whether that’s in Verdansk itself or the gulag. However, Raven Software has pushed out an update that fixes this bug - hopefully, it sticks. This came alongside some other little bug fixes, such as weapon XP not awarding as intended in Modern Warfare’s multiplayer mode, UI elements in the loadout menu being fixed, and the rollout of the Valentine Weekend’s playlist names....

During the weekly livestream event today for Tom Clancy’s The Division, Massive Entertainment introduced a handful of new features and changes coming to the game with the upcoming 1.7 update. These changes and additions are just a small example of the overall strategy Massive has for The Division over the next six months. While there’s still no release date for the 1.7 update, many gamers in The Division community were excited for the newly announced features, and the changes coming to some of the more controversial aspects of the game....
