This Stranger Things Season 2 review is based on all nine episodes. It contains no spoilers! Fans only want to know one thing when searching for a spoiler-free review like this one: “Is Stranger Things season 2 as good as or better than the first run?” The truth is nothing could equal the sense of discovery and nostalgia that the first season captured, but this new installment beautifully expands upon the existing tale, adding a few additional characters and answering some lingering questions....

German stuntman Ben Bergmann has a passion for cosplay, and he’s one of the most talented in the field. His latest creation, Eivor from Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, is a work of art that excels in bringing Ubisoft’s viking to life. Bergmann’s attention to detail and ability to harness every character detail in his cosplay has gained the artist a healthy following. His recent creation was brought about by a collaboration with Ubisoft, who asked the artist if he would be part of the promotion for Assassin’s Creed Valhalla....

The wonderful thing about fans is that, as unbiased onlookers, they often recognize patterns in the art they love before the actual artists can. Take, for example, the case of Tom Wambsgans (Matthew Macfadyen) and “Cousin” Greg Hirsch (Nicholas Braun) on HBO’s award-winning dramedy Succession. While the pair of Roy family outsiders (Tom is married to patriarch Logan Roy’s only daughter and Cousin Greg is…well, a cousin) initially tried to make their way into the dynasty’s good graces through its more established members, fans couldn’t help but notice that the two bit players had uncommonly good chemistry together....

Tasha’s Cauldron of Everything is a new D&D book that adds a ton of new content to the game.

Gaming can be an expensive hobby, which is why it’s so exciting when companies start giving away titles for the grand price of free. Epic Games have set a new benchmark for generous giveaways, with titles like Grand Theft Auto V, Football Manager 2020, and the Batman Arkham trilogy all being free on the service previously. It’s fair to say that Nintendo isn’t known for being too flexible when it comes to how much the company charges; the full price release of Super Mario 3D All-Starsand the announcement that The Legend of Zelda: Skyword Swordwill be full-priced when it comes to the Nintendo Switch in July 2021 exemplifying this....

One of the best things about video games is the way that they bring people together. Whether that’s laughing at the same ridiculous goal scored in FIFA or guffawing at a brilliant headshot in Call of Duty, games have the ability to turn a boring get-together into a jolly good time. Sure, Twitch has revolutionized the way in which people share games but some titles are much better for hangouts in person....

While the post-doomsday interpretation of America in Death Stranding is certainly terrifying, a disturbing implication to consider is how much the destructive event that caused everything to begin with has also affected the rest of the world. If Kojima Productions is planning to make a return to this devastated world, there are plenty of other locations around the world that can provide an interesting backdrop for the story to continue....

This article contains Star Trek: Picard spoilers. Star Trek: Picard Season 2 Episode 4 The topsy-turvy time travel antics of Star Trek: Picard season 2, episode 4, continue with “Watcher,” an episode in which we do, in fact, meet the mysterious Watcher, as well as someone else who we didn’t expect to see in this century at all. Along the way, Picard manages to dive deep for those Trekkie Easter eggs, some of which fix some very old mysterious, lurking in the strange Star Trek timeline for years and years....

Fans of The Binding of Isaac may enjoy what’s in store for the franchise, as it’s expanding on the successful card game.

Studio71 Games is teaming up once again with Maestro Media for a new expansion to the popular card game.

Final Fantasy 7 Remake does a lot to reset the original game’s timeline, what with the Whispers and other changes hinted at the end of the game. That may not be all, though. A recent trademark filed by Square Enix for “The First Soldier” likely points toward a title exploring some of the changes. Square Enix had come out to say that previous spinoff titles like Crisis Core and Dirge of Cerberus were no longer canon, so it’s likely the company will release new games to explain those now-vacant timelines....

As part of its big E3 2018 presentation for The Division 2, developer Massive Entertainment confirmed that the upcoming sequel would be adding 8-player raids. A feature that many players had hoped to see in the first game, raids (or even raid-like experiences) were sorely missing from the popular new IP. But now they are coming to The Division 2 and apparently there will be a few for players to enjoy during the game’s first year....

This The Expanse review contains spoilers. The Expanse Season 3 Episode 1 The season three premiere of The Expanse might as well have been season two episode fourteen in that much of the conflict continued right where it left off in last year’s finale, and although “Fight or Flight” contained a lengthy previously-on montage to catch people up, it took awhile to settle in. The greatest success of this episode, in fact, came from its thematic shifts rather than the plot itself....

Released in June, Naughty Dog’s The Last Of Us Part II almost has as many collectibles as it does infected quietly clicking off in the shadows. Chapter 1’s fourth part features Ellie and Dina making their way through Jackson and has a total of 12 collectibles to read sketch or loot. This section will cover all of the collectibles found in this chapter including six artifacts, two trading cards to collect, two more of Ellie’s thoughts to add to her journal, one safe, and the first of many workbenches found throughout Jackson County and Seattle....

The latest leaked photos and videos from the set of HBO’s The Last of Us suggest that the series will prominently feature the fascinating story presented in the game’s highly acclaimed DLC expansion, Left Behind. For those who don’t know, 2014’s The Last of Us: Left Behind is the franchise’s only narrative DLC expansion (at least so far). Most of the expansion is actually an extended flashback sequence that follows Ellie and her friend Riley as they explore an abandoned mall....

The Last of Us Part II is now available at your nearest game shops and the PlayStation Store, but it’s not without controversy. Leaked before its original release date, the sequel of the original 2013 Last of Us drew a line in the sand of fans in two. Some of them praise its breathtakingly beautiful graphics, while others seem to have a deep antipathy for its storyline. So, after such polarizing reviews, is Part III coming out any time in the future?...
