There’s no doubt that The Last of Us: Part 2 is one of the most highly anticipated games in recent memory. Even so, fans of the survival-horror franchise still don’t have a clear idea of exactly when the PlayStation 4 exclusive will be making its way to the Sony console. Just recently, though, the game’s composer, Gustavo Santaolalla teased the title’s release date, giving players hope that they will see it launch this year....
In the impressive history of The Legend of Zelda, few of the franchise’s dungeons have inspired as much debate and speculation as Twilight Princess‘ Snowpeak Ruins. Nestled near the peak of the mountain it shares a name with, Snowpeak Ruins’ prominent placement in Twilight Princess‘ world and its somewhat haunting exterior make it one of those Zelda dungeons that just begs to be explored. Once you step inside, though, you’ll soon discover that nearly everything about this dungeon defines series’ standards....
The Medium from Bloober Team tells a fairly straightforward story, for the most part. The game’s weirder concepts are introduced at a gradual pace, and players shouldn’t have too much trouble understanding what’s going on. However, The Medium’s ending can be a little confusing, especially since it fails to truly answer all of the questions players may have about the story, and leaves things open-ended. Some The Medium reviews have criticized the ending for this, whereas others have praised the developer’s decision to leave some things ambiguous....

The hotly anticipated Star Wars Battlefront hits shelves today, but will DICE’s attempt to resurrect the series meet the high expectations of fans who enjoyed previous installments? Ten years after the last mainline entry in the series, 2015 marks the beginning of the resurrected Star Wars Battlefront franchise.

Stardew Valley’s highly anticipated multiplayer update finally has a release date: August 1st. But not for consoles. You have absolutely no excuse if you don’t already own Stardew Valley. It’s been two years since the game was released on PC, and since then it’s gone to every platform out there except for iOS and Android (but just you wait, we’re sure that’s coming too). They even released a version for the PlayStation Vita, just to remind the world that the Vita still exists....
This article contains Stargirl spoilers. Stargirl Season 2 Episode 8 Summer has been no fun for the kids of Stargirl. The newest season has seen them lose teammates and classmates as well as taking on Eclipso, their most terrifying foe yet.

With November just around the corner and massive titles like Battlefield 3 and Skyrim nearing release, it’s no surprise that gamers are looking for the best ways to maximize their gaming experience. One aspect of the gaming experience that often gets overlooked but is arguably one of the most important is that of the game’s sound design. As technology becomes better, more and more gamers are looking for the next best way to get the most out of their game’s sound....
Gloop. Guts. Gigantic gore creatures from alternate dimensions having tentacles axed off by plucky schoolkids who should by rights be doing homework/a paper route instead of saving the world, but honestly, who else is going to do it? Not the government, not the military and definitely not the shady experimental lab on the edge of town that’s the reason all the local rats now glow in the dark… That’s the kind of thing a show like Stranger Things offers, and now that season four is finished and Vecna is safely sealed up in psychic-proof Tupperware and buried under Mount Rushmore (a guess due to the season four finale not being available to preview at the time of writing, but we’re pretty confident on it), here are a frankly ludicrous amount of recommendations for films and TV shows to scratch your Stranger Things itch (assuming that you’ve already seen the show’s many Steven Spielberg/John Carpenter/Wes Craven inspirations)....
Having been around since 1987, the Street Fighter series has several iconic characters, so certain cast members would have been a no-brainer for Capcom when they put together the Street Fighter 5 roster. These are characters like Ryu with his Hadoukens, Ryu’s best friend (and rival) Ken Masters, and Chun-Li with her powerful kicks capable of obliterating any enemy’s health bar. But these well-known faces will also be joined by brand new and returning characters (who’ve not been in an SF game for a while) as well....
As beloved as video games are, there’s no denying that they can sometimes be a source of stress. Whether it be by playing a tense horror game like Alien Isolation, trying to complete a seemingly impossible challenge in Crash Bandicoot 4, or even just looking to get a brand-new console on launch day, games can put peoples’ hearts through the ringer. Website BonusFinder, in collaboration with sports scientists, recently decided to see exactly which games were the most stressful....
Well, that Nintendo Direct sure did feature some unexpected announcements. Despite the fact that many of the surprises leaked on an internet forum ahead of the actual broadcast, such as The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD and Mario Golf: Super Rush reveals, the beloved publisher still managed to keep a few things under wraps, such as the big Super Smash Bros. Ultimate moment that opened the show. That’s right, we finally know who’s joining Nintendo’s brawler next and it’s none other than Pyra and Mythra!...
Reports suggest that Activision is publishing a new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game that is being developed for multiple platforms by Platinum Games. Since the indie comics were first released in the 80s, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles have been a pop culture hit. The franchise was quickly adapted to everything from cartoons to movies to arcade machines and thirty years later the quartet of ninjas are still in the spotlight....
Gemcorns are a unique type of tree sapling that was introduced with the Terraria 1.4 Journey’s End update. Gemcorns are basically acorns that are combined with a Gem, then planted to grow a Gem Tree.

When it comes to the epic open-world racer that is Forza Horizon 4, speed and exhilaration tend to be its biggest selling points. Yet, another cool aspect is the absolute plethora of diverse automobiles - which span several decades and take on countless unique attributes. Of course, this includes tons of sleek luxury cars that can easily zip across the roads of Great Britain at hundreds of miles per hour. Yet, it also includes some rather slow clunkers and antiques that can seemingly be outrun by a bicycle....
There are few franchises that have as much life and joy associated with them as Nintendo’s Pokémon series. For decades there have been new titles that push the limits of what the games can offer to their audiences as well as constant new additions to the already-massive Pokédex. There are no signs of Pokémon slowing down and there are now even feature films that are adeptly tackling the series. Generation II of the Pokémon games introduced players to the Johto region and many new Pokémon....
This article contains massive spoilers for the 1883 season 1 finale. Perhaps you’ve heard by now, but the season 1 finale of Yellowstone prequel 1883 killed off its lead character. That’s not very unusual on its face. Plenty of TV shows kill off important characters and season finales present good occasions to do so. One major character death alone certainly isn’t enough to make a fuss over or write an article about (though we probably would anyway because Yellowstone and 1883 are huge deals)....
