Nearly three years since its initial launch, State of Decay 2’s loyal community continues the fight against the undead. Its unique blend of exploration and base building has helped it distance itself from similarly-themed juggernauts franchises like Valve’s Left 4 Dead and Telltale’s The Walking Dead. The world of State of Decay 2 is just as harsh and unforgiving as it is a personal playground for mayhem and carnage, but what if its main selling point was turned on its head?...

This The Expanse article contains MAJOR spoilers for the series finale. It does not contain any book spoilers past Babylon’s Ashes. The Expanse just wrapped up its six-season run, which spanned two networks (or technically one cable channel and one streaming platform) and covered the first six books of the nine-novel source material. While The Expanse left many narrative threads up in the air—most obviously, the mystery of Laconia and its strange dogs, as well as the larger Protomolecule vs....
The Falconeer is equal parts impressive and baffling. Its scale is shockingly sheer, and every part of its world is washed in plush pastels that transform harsh thunderstorms and abyssal oceanic chasms into mesmerizing dreamscapes. Gliding through the skies above The Great Ursee is soothing, charming, and genuinely refreshing, as if every beat of your falcon’s wing ushers a whirlwind of fresh air in your direction. It’s a shame, then, that The Falconeer is confused....

Without a doubt, The Last of Us: Part 2 is easily one of the PS4’s most anticipated exclusives, but ever since its official reveal during PlayStation Experience 2016, Naughty Dog has remained relatively quiet regarding the development process of the forthcoming survival-horror title. With this being the case, fans have been left to their own devices to determine what exactly has happened since the last entry in the series, with the ardent fan and Redditor known as Voldsby having recently spun an extremely plausible theory that The Last of Us: Part 2 will use Seattle, Washington as one of its locations...
With Sony deciding not to host an E3 2019 press conference or set up a booth at the event’s show floor, many assume that the rest of the year will be devoid of PS4 exclusives, but that may not be the case In fact, one of the biggest PS4 exclusives left to release before Sony shifts to the PlayStation 5 may hit later this year.

This Star Wars: The Mandalorian article contains spoilers. From the very beginning, Boba Fett has inspired The Mandalorian. Showrunner Jon Favreau’s “toy box” approach pitched protagonist Din Djarin as a Boba Fett-like figure, and although the two are quite different in terms of personality and history, the iconic silhouette of the space western gunslinger is very similar. But now Boba Fett himself is back in The Mandalorian season 2, played by none other than Temuera Morrison in a very brief cameo....
This Star Trek: Discovery review contains spoilers. Star Trek: Discovery Season 3, Episode 4 In some ways, “Forget Me Not” is Star Trek: Discovery‘s most ambitious episode yet. It may not include epic space battles or a trip to the Mirror Universe or a jump 930 years into the future, but it does attempt to address the cumulative collective trauma of an entire starship crew that has gone through all of the aforementioned—a narrative endeavor that has much less precedent than bearded Vulcans....
While the moviegoing community was mourning half the Avengers in the wake of Infinity War’s bombshell ending (and forking out cash for a seventh or eighth viewing), Solo: A Star Wars Story – the fourth big-screen effort in Disney’s pre-Mandalorian attempts to spearhead a successful post-George Lucas Star Wars franchise – came and went without attracting much attention or praise. Solo is a fine movie with some interesting set pieces and enough escapist spectacle to warrant another trip to a galaxy far, far away, but it ultimately fails to justify its existence....
Since being introduced in the Star Wars Holiday Special, Boba Fett has been a fan-favorite character for generations. Sadly, Jeremy Bulloch, the actor who portrayed the bounty hunter in the character’s live-action debut, has reportedly passed away at the age of 75.

Respawn gave a first look at Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order gameplay during E3 last month, and, for the most part, it looked like a straightforward single player experience. However, once the developer started talking further about the project, the idea of a more interesting Metroid-style gameplay emerged. Now, a quote from the lead combat designer of Jedi: Fallen Order has shined some light on the game’s combat system, and it sounds like From Software fans will be pleased with the direction Respawn has decided to take for its new Star Wars game...
