Ah, the side quest. Mainstay of the RPG and action genres, it’s safe to say that they add a whole lot of value to our games. In some series, like The Elder Scrolls or The Witcher, they can add hundreds of hours to our in-game experiences, as well as providing us with crucial memories that shape our feelings about the games; however, all is not rosy in the world of side quests....

This The Affair review contains spoilers. The Affair Season 4 Episode 6 “Hey Pot, I’m Kettle, nice to meet you.” The Affair has been touch and go as of late and while certain characters have perhaps been a let down, “406” heads in the right direction and it finds interesting ground to explore in terms of the ancillary relationships in people’s lives and how they can have drastic effects on how they treat others....

This article is sponsored by If you’re lucky enough to live near Islay, Scotland, you may have heard the tale of the Islay Dragon, a myth that has inspired a new limited edition whisky from the legendary Scotch whisky distillery, Ardbeg. Ardbeg Scorch is distilled in heavily-charred American oak casks for a super-smoky flavour, and will be released on this year’s Ardbeg Day— an online celebration which forms part of Islay’s annual Fèis Ìle festival of whisky and music....

The Dark Knight Rises had an uphill battle going into its 2012 release. Indeed, notwithstanding the film’s eternal juxtaposition to the Aurora, Colorado theater tragedy, it faced the task of following up on what was already widely considered the best comic book movie of all time in 2008’s The Dark Knight and the legacy set in stone by the late Heath Ledger’s posthumous Oscar-winning performance. However, the film did manage to avoid one prospectively damaging hurdle for its box office chances: an NC-17 rating....

The Division 2 is currently in the midst of its private beta test, open to pre-order holders and their friends. And, as befits these types of tests, The Division 2 Beta is not without its issues. Unfortunately, one of those issues has proven to be quite a frustration to players. Ubisoft has acknowledged a “High Priority” issue which appears to be causing consistent game crashes on PC and Xbox, as well as performance degradation on PS4....

With Michael Keaton’s new Bat-suit for The Flash and Batgirl already shown, and with set photos showing Xolo Maridueña’s costume for Blue Beetle making the rounds, fans get another treat with images coming from the Licensing Expo at Las Vegas....

Despite a few gaffes, the Mass Effect franchise is beloved by Sci-Fi and RPG fans the world over. It also details the rise and decline of BioWare in a way: Mass Effect 1 and 2 were its pinnacle, many were upset by the end of Mass Effect 3, and Mass Effect Andromeda was not as well received as those came before. It’s not Anthem’s level of panning, but it had high expectations it did not arguably meet....

As fans will know, Pokémon has one of the most hilariously unbalanced all-round metas in gaming history. This is understandable, of course, as we’re not talking about a standard fighting game roster of about thirty characters. There are almost a thousand different Pokémon now, and keeping them all on a level playing field would be beyond impossible. The fact of the matter is, all Pokémon are not created equal. Some are as impossibly beautiful as Jason Momoa, while others are a shuffling, slovenly Hunchback of Notre Dame in comparison....

The original Star Wars film trilogy is (rightfully) regarded as one of the best sci-fi epics ever put to screen. The films’ narrative arcs are near-perfect, the special effects are still impressive in many ways, and the pacing of character development is just right. That’s not to say there isn’t anything the original movies couldn’t have explained more. Even in such a lauded trilogy, there are some characters who play larger roles in the story than is implied on screen and some concepts that could have used a little more screen time....

This Star Wars: The Bad Batch review contains spoilers. Star Wars: The Bad Batch Episode 5 Over the weekend, I watched The Clone Wars with a friend. She likes the clones themselves a lot, so we jumped around a bit between episodes that focused on them. When I got to the Bad Batch arc, I warned her the humor was broad, the action goofy, the characters stock types. But she adored it....

EA initially promoted Star Wars Battlefront 2’s story with a heavy emphasis on following the Galactic Empire’s perspective following the events of Return of the Jedi. Specifically, the point-of-view of Iden Versio, leader of the Empire’s Inferno Squad, whose story concluded at the end of Star Wars Battlefront 2. Recently, Star Wars Battlefront 2 writer Mitch Dyer replied to a tweet by Iden’s actress Janina Gavankar who portrayed the character in the game....

We don’t usually get many video games exclusively featuring the most popular celibate sci-fi space monk faction in Hollywood called the Jedi. That’s why Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is a welcome game and it turned out to be one of the best Star Wars video games ever thanks to how it generously borrowed from the Souls-like genre. One odd problem the game does have is its rather lackluster customization options and certain gameplay mechanics that are questionable....

In the months leading up to the holiday 2011 release of BioWare’s Star Wars: The Old Republic, most of the MMO community came around to the idea that the WoW killer may have finally arrived. The Jedi vs Sith RPG was produced on one of the biggest budgets the video game world has ever seen and it had already had the enormous Star Wars fanbase as a target audience. Despite sucking in lots of players in the early months thanks to gorgeous cinematic trailers and BioWare’s stellar reputation, the hype quickly faded, and the game fell well short of WoW levels of success....

The world in Starcraft is chaotic and constantly on the brink of destruction, whether it be from the Zerg swarm encompassing everything or the god-like Xel’naga planning on destroying everything to extend their lifespan. Among all the gods, monsters, and psionic stuff, there are the Terrans, the human faction in Starcraftthat seems to just be caught in the middle of all of it. We’ve decided to shine a light on these space cowboys with some facts about them that you might not have known about....
