When it drops on streaming later this fall, Andor is poised to finally deliver the backstory for one of the best Star Wars characters of the Disney era. The series, which reunites Rogue One star Diego Luna with producer and director Tony Gilroy, explores who Cassian Andor was before he became the revolutionary we met in the first Star Wars standalone film in 2016. How did he go from a refugee insurgent to becoming the Rebellion’s foremost secret agent and assassin?...

Star Wars Battlefront 2: Celebration Edition is the next free game heading to the Epic Games Store. Starting next week on January 14 and ending January 21, anyone will be able to pick up the iconic Star Wars title at no cost. Battlefront 2 has come a long way since launch. Originally panned by both critics and consumers, there wasn’t much to like about the microtransaction-heavy shooter. However, several patches over the past few years have turned Battlefront 2 into the game it was meant to be....

Once the blue chickens, void chickens, and dinosaurs have been acquired, Stardew Valley players would be forgiven for thinking they’d obtained all the special animals that live in coops, but as of the new 1.5 update, they’d be wrong. The new update added golden chickens to the game and their acquisition will require the most work compared to any other animal in the game. Getting to Ginger Island Ginger Island was one of the major additions in the Stardew Valley 1....

The CW’s Stargirl has cast Nick Taraby and Jonathan Cake in the respective roles of Eclipso and The Shade, the two main antagonists of the second season. Furthermore, Ysa Penarejo will join the cast of the series in the recurring role of an undisclosed DC character. The arrival of The Shade was first hinted at during a sequence in the first season finale of Stargirl, in which the DC villain was shown sitting alone in the Injustice Society of America’s meeting room....

Steam offers a way for small developers with niche products to get far more exposure than would otherwise be possible. That also means it is no stranger to racier content and dating sims are everywhere on the platform. This includes more than a few that cross the line into outright pornography. However, Steam seems to draw the line at using live actors and is refusing to sell the racy FMV game Super Seducer 3....

A director has been announced for New Line’s upcoming film version of Stephen King’s classic novel, ‘Salem’s Lot, and it seems the search did not have to go too far or wide: Gary Dauberman, who’s already writing the screenplay, will now get behind the camera as well for the James Wan-produced project, according to the Hollywood Reporter. ‘Salem’s Lot was King’s second published novel, coming out in 1975. It was centered around a town in rural Maine called Jerusalem’s Lot that is overrun by vampires after an ancient bloodsucker arrives there from Europe....

The last Nintendo Direct revealed that the Ver. 3.0 update for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is due to come in the Spring, which will most likely add Joker from Persona 5 into the game. The Ver. 3.0 update for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate will almost certainly tweak the balance of the game, which will result in certain characters being nerfed. PREVIOUSLY: Winners And Losers Of Smash Ultimate’s 2.0.0 Patch The question we are asking today is which characters & moves are most likely to face the nerf hammer when the Ver....

Sega first announced Team Sonic Racing at E3 2018 with a trailer that showed off the game’s co-op focus, vehicle customization, and more, but stopped short of revealing all of the characters. Now that the especially fast-paced racing game is on the market, we know every character that’s available to play as in Team Sonic Racing. Team Sonic Racing has 15 playable characters at launch. This is less than Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed, which featured over 20 characters, including non-Sonic Sega characters....

In Pokémon, the Sword and Shield anime offer both the same-old-same-old and a breath of fresh air with taking on new show elements and characters. Compared to the Sun and Moon anime, this one is heavily travel-based, never staying in one region for too long. It also goes back to basics with bringing back a character who actually wants to, “Catch ’em all.” This combination brings in new energy to what was a stagnating franchise that had lost its direction in the last series and handles answers to issues that have been there for many years....

While Xbox and Microsoft are always expanding, some of their more influential franchises come from the beginning of the brand’s rise in success. However, it’s not about Xbox or Microsoft but rather the insanely talented teams that worked on these wonderful games. It’s worth noting that every game takes a huge team of people so it’s impossible for them to all be mentioned here. However, the people behind your favorite Xbox franchises have probably had a hand in more games than you think....

Fantasy often showcases otherworldly concepts and scenarios that audiences only dream of, and The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is no exception. This open-world action RPG features a sprawling setting that benefits from both its source material and the immense devotion of the developers. Players can’t go five minutes without seeing something exotic and intriguing to explore. With such a fantastical playground, however, comes the inevitable oddness. The Witcher 3 has plenty of weird activities and bizarre individuals to its name....

After the incredible fan response and hype for the recently released Call of Duty: Warzone, fans and writers alike have been picking apart the brand new battle royale entry in the Call of Duty franchise. It’s certainly been a hit, but the franchise as a whole has always been a polarizing entity in the gaming industry. With Warzone currently creating a big stir in the battle royale fandom, it seems like a good opportunity to take a step back and look at what’s come before, good and bad....

The ultimate showdown is finally here, and fans have been going nuts trying to decipher the Infinity War trailers before the movie drops on April 27. Thanos is ready for a battle and the Avengers look like they’re having a hard time leveling the playing field. But don’t count our heroes out yet, as there’s more to meets the eye within these Avengers: Infinity War trailers. Disney and Marvel have played dirty with audiences in the past when it comes to deceiving us with trailers....

In recent years the WWE 2K series has taken steps to shake away its original arcade trappings and slowly but surely transformed the series into something that feels a lot closer to the beloved wrestling games by AKI. The series showed huge improvements with WWE 2K16, and WWE 2K17 served to refine and improve on what came before. So while it wasn’t an evolutionary leap for the series it was an enjoyable wrestling game experience that improved on the previous year’s entry....

As some adults already know and have known for some time, there are some kids’ shows out there that are hysterical. By not talking down to kids, there’s a sweet spot that can be reached and still entertain parents as well. It’s not always an easy line to find though, and many shows struggle to find their footing in this territory while still establishing a style of their own. When a show does achieve this mixture of whimsy and suggestive humor, the public watches....

The Binding of Isaac has come a long way since its Adobe Flash origins in 2011. And nowhere is that evolution felt more strongly than with the release of Repentance, the third and final expansion for its 2014 remake, The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth. The latest DLC sports a number of new features and changes to the popular roguelike, while still managing to retain much of what has kept the game so endearing....

A Borderlands movie has been in the works since early 2015. Seen as a possible ‘tentpole feature’ by the struggling studio Lionsgate (i.e., a film big enough to bolster Lionsgate’s failing finances), the big-screen adaptation of the 2009 game spent a few years in development hell before it was revealed in 2020 that Chernobyl writer Craig Mazin had been hired to pen the script and long-time horror auteur Eli Roth had signed on to direct....

This article contains The Expanse spoilers. Many fans of The Expanse on Prime Video who haven’t already read the James S. A. Corey novels upon which the series is based probably have at least thought about checking out the books at some point. But the floodgates likely opened after the series finale aired for those looking to answer the questions left unresolved by the show’s untimely cancelation with books seven through nine still unadapted....

It’s one of the most kinetic moments in One Night in Miami. As a character observes, the banter is over and friends are pulling out knives: Kingsley Ben-Adir’s Malcolm X just challenged Leslie Odom Jr.’s Sam Cooke on his responsibility as a Black artist to the Black community. “You bourgeois Negroes are too happy with your scraps to know what’s at stake here,” Malcolm says, demanding Sam take advantage of this elusive thing called celebrity and speak up for all those voices who never got a mic....
