The Final Fantasy franchise is one of the most influential video game series of all time, & Final Fantasy 9 is a very memorable title for a lot of gamers. The game was the last Final Fantasy entry on the PlayStation before the series upgraded to the PlayStation 2. As a result, Final Fantasy 9 packs in as much as possible and delivers a highly engaging experience. There’s a lot to admire in Final Fantasy 9, and the bosses are a big factor for the title’s reception....

There are eighteen different types in the Pokemon series, all with weakness to different types and resistance to another. It’s similar to a very convoluted game of Rock, Paper, Scissors, but unfortunately there are more Pokemon types than this three-option game, and there are some options like Psychic-types that are strong against far more options than any other Pokemon type. There are just under one hundred psychic Pokemon when you factor in Mega Evolutions, and building powerful teams with Psychic Pokemon usually means you’ll have to look for the very best....

The Sims 4 team has just announced the imminent arrival of Snowy Escape, the tenth expansion for the popular life simulation game. As always, speculation about new features is rife, and the hype — and hate — is in full flow. This time around, the barrage of criticism is low compared to the praise the expansion has received, but as always the negatives are still tarnishing the game experience for others....

The Captain Is Dead is one of those games that made me openly declare, “Man, I hate this game.” Not because it’s poorly designed - although it’s got some flaws - but because it seems to be a game that actively wants you to hate it due to its soul-crushing difficulty. Its main goal is to stress you out by putting you in the nearly impossible scenario of trying to survive an alien attack in a spaceship that’s mere minutes away from being destroyed....

Released early last year, the persistently online third-person looter shooter The Division 2 did not experience the same massive sweep of popularity as its 2016 predecessor, despite receiving similar review scores from critics. But regular content and quality-of-life updates, as well as the Warlords of New York expansion released in March of this year, have attempted to respond to gaps in the player experience. Now developer Massive Entertainment has revealed extensive details for The Division 2’s upcoming Title Update 11 via the game’s official subreddit....

During the recent State of the Game livestream for The Division 2, Massive Entertainment announced that the game’s update 10.1 patch would be arriving on July 21 for PC, PlayStation 4, Stadia and Xbox One. The development team at Massive Entertainment discussed what players could expect from the new update. The crew stated that various bug fixes and balance adjustments would be included in the patch as well as altering stats and features of the loot drops....

Ubisoft reveals The Division’s first live-action trailer for a four part series in conjunction with major YouTube groups like Rocket Jump, Corridor Digital, and devinsupertramp. Ubisoft continues to crank the marketing machine into high gear for their upcoming open world shooter, Tom Clancy’s The Division. With the highly anticipated beta scheduled to begin in two weeks for those who have pre-ordered the title, new details and information has also come into light thanks to new trailers and gameplay footage from some users on YouTube....

The developers at Ubisoft Massive officially reveal May’s Season Pass content drop for its wildly popular military action-MMO, Tom Clancy’s The Division. For those unaware, purchasing Tom Clancy’s The Division’s $40 Season Pass grants fans access to “special benefits” each and every month, such as materials created for use in-game that are offered up free-of-charge. With that in mind, by way of the action-MMO’s official Twitter account, Ubisoft has now unveiled the extra content found in May 2016’s Season Pass for The Division....

In the latest notes for the PTS of Update 1.6, Division developer Massive Entertainment reveals that it won’t release the Seeker gear set because of balance problems. As the name implies, The Division’s Public Test Server is meant to test changes in Massive Entertainment’s game before certain major updates go live. For Update 1.6, which introduces the new Last Stand mode, completely reimagines gear stats, and creates new categories for weapons, that means a lot of things to balance, and already there have been some major changes....

This The Expanse article contains spoilers. As the coalition forces prepare to storm the ring station in The Expanse series finale, the Rocinante crew is running through its systems check, and voices are heard in the background signaling their readiness. “Thrace ready!” we hear, and our ears perk up. How unusual to share the name of one of the most badass space dogfighters ever, Kara “Starbuck” Thrace of Battlestar Galactica. When that’s followed by “Ripley ready!...

This The Handmaid’s Tale review contains spoilers. With all the emphasis on escape in The Handmaid’s Tale, it’s easy to forget that assholes are by no means a Gilead-exclusive. From the fake clinic attempting to scare Janine into keeping an unwanted pregnancy, to the fake rescue by a guerrilla leader who demanded sex in exchange for food, ‘Milk’ reminded us that misogyny and exploitation weren’t invented by the Sons of Jacob....

Herman Miller, known for manufacturing mid-century classics such as the Eames Lounge Chair and the Irving Harper Marshmallow sofa, has joined forces with gaming peripherals company Logitech to create the Embody Gaming Chair, a pricey yet undoubtedly comfortable chair for hardcore gamers. Not known for its affordable prices, Herman Miller is marketing the Embody Gaming Chair at a cool $1,495. Designed with the help of a team of 30 doctors and PhDs in biomechanics, vision, physical therapy, and ergonomics, this ultimate gaming chair is padded with “copper-infused particles” that cool off the body, and “pixelated support” that evenly distributes the user’s weight....

It’s always baffled me that so many people are vehemently opposed to the idea that someone could like The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. I reckon most people feel this way for one of two reasons: a) the motion controls are a bit janky on account of it being a Wii launch title, or b) Zelda games are often judged by the age you were when you first played them, meaning that Twilight Princess was loads of people’s fifth Zelda game, but loads of other people’s first one....

The 1987 comedy-drama Good Morning, Vietnam was an unconventional hit movie. A war film, and a hugely comedic one, it remains most remembered for being the breakout movie role for Robin Williams, seizing his moment and his day with incredible impact. Williams, by this stage of his career, was already hugely popular on television, courtesy of Mork & Mindy. But the genesis of the movie that would ignite his film career actually lay back to even before then, in 1979....

The Matrix Resurrections has revealed most of its returning cast in the lead up to the film’s long-awaited release later this month. We’ve seen Keanu Reeves back as a more grungy Neo, Carrie-Anne Moss as a leather jacket-wearing grease monkey version of Trinity, and even Daniel Bernhardt has suited up once again as Agent Johnson. But there are still a few other returners we haven’t seen, such as Jada Pinkett Smith’s Niobe, the ship captain who played a vital role in the two Matrix sequels....

Last month, we spoke of the phenomenon known only as The Summer Lull. During the Lull, less and less games are released causing gamers to sift through their backlog until September starts. However, things are different this August, as there some pretty big titles releasing on just about every platform. The Vita gets a newfound rejuvenation as August plays host to titles like Sound Shapes and Ragnarok Odyssey. THQ and Vigil release Darksiders 2 midway through the month, while PC gamers have Guild Wars 2 to look forward to just before September starts....

After years of waiting, fans of the Star Wars Battlefront series will finally be treated to a new entry later this year. Set to release just one month before the highly anticipated film Star Wars: The Force Awakens, if DICE and EA are able to deliver, Star Wars Battlefront could be a great way to kick off the impending Star Wars fever. From what we’ve seen, Star Wars Battlefront is looking to meet expectations and then some....

Any time the Justice Society of America make it off the comics page and onto a screen, it’s a big deal. Why? Because without the Justice Society, there’s no Justice League, no Fantastic Four, no X-Men, no Avengers, and no shared superhero universes, cinematic, televisual, or otherwise. And while the DC Universe and CW Stargirl TV series isn’t the first time we’ve seen the JSA on screen, it’s looking like it will be the most faithful version of the team ever to make it to live action....
