2020 has been a wild ride for a lot of people. It’s been a tumultuous year, full of highs and lows and some unique controversies. It’s not a stretch to say that many people are eagerly awaiting the end of the year and a fresh start in 2021. However, despite the uncertainty that 2020 brought, it was also a pretty incredible year for the gaming community. Big name releases like The Last of Us 2, Animal Crossing: New Horizons, and Assassin’s Creed Valhalla mixed with multiplayer breakouts like Fall Guys and Among Us brought exciting additions to the gaming sphere....

Capcom has announced it will be implementing a stock split on April 1, effectively doubling the number of shares available to investors. This also means anyone who currently owns stock will see their shares double – although their overall value is expected to remain stable. Capcom’s Board of Directors has decided to provide more shares as a way to “improve the liquidity of the Company’s stock and expand its investor base by reducing the stock price per investment unit....

This article contains La La Land spoilers. There are many things you could call remarkable about La La Land, the musical already sweeping the awards season and looking set to bag the Best Picture gong at the Oscars. There is its sumptuous primary colored cinematography, its dreamy soundtrack, and its unabashed throwback to an older Hollywood where musicals were commonplace. But the most remarkable thing, the thing that’s been most discussed by critics and audiences since its release, is its ending....

The beauty of macro photography is that it captures details not visible with the naked eye. It transports us into entire worlds that we’re not normally privy to and has become an incredibly popular photography technique, for both research and entertainment purposes. Being able to study snowflakes, the eyes of insects and how light bounces off a soap bubble can reveal hidden gems and insights that can be used for scientific and technological purposes....

The rise of live service has drastically changed what it means for a game to be successful. While sales are still a good core indicator, the goal for live service games isn’t just to get players to buy the game, it’s to keep them engaged with it for as long as possible. If history is any indicator, it’s very difficult to get these games right. And while Destiny 2 is still the top dog, The Division 2 gets a lot right that Destiny gets wrong, though both can learn a lot from one another....

Perhaps more so than many of the other looter shooters on the market, The Division 2 gives players deep and complex options to construct builds that will serve specific roles that a player is trying to achieve. As players reach the endgame, they’ll find countless ways to combine different builds based on the three Specializations, skills, weapon types, or capitalizing on specific exotics. Game Rant suggested some of the best Division 2 PvP builds already, and now it is time to look at the best PvE builds currently in the game....

Until this coming Valentine’s Day, Elder Scrolls Online fans can purchase a legitimate 10K yellow gold Ritual of Mara ring, complete with Mara’s blessing, though it’ll set them back a pretty penny. The Ritual of Mara is a marriage ceremony that is most iconically performed in Elder Scrolls Online between two players, however, Mara will also oversee the marriage between a player and an NPC in Skyrim as well. In ESO, players can perform the Ritual of Mara together by purchasing the Pledge of Mara for 1,000 Crowns from the Crown Store....

Laura Bailey has won the Best Performance award at The Game Awards for her role as Abby from The Last of Us Part 2. When she won the game, the talented voice actor seemed surprised that she won the award. She was obviously delighted, saying she was happy that she could perform a role that honored the impact that the original game had on her. Abby is a controversial character to put it lightly....

Microsoft followers have been begging the company to bring its cherished Halo franchise to PC since the IP first debuted on the original Xbox well over a decade ago. Though it once was thought to be nothing more than a pipe dream, 343 Industries will finally make that wish a reality with the release of a beefed-up version of Halo: The Master Chief Collection later this year. Halo was, for many years, the reason to own a console....

HBO’s Game of Thrones not only had one of the best opening title sequences in the history of television, but it also turned from a highly successful adaptation into one of the most hated shows overnight. The fandom has been split over the show’s finale since it aired in May 2019, and many haven’t reacted well to a recent tweet from the official Game of Thrones Twitter account. The live-action adaptation of George R....

This Star Wars: The Mandalorian article contains spoilers. I know. No one really wants to consider the edgiest villain in the galaxy touching a hair on Grogu’s head with malice. But The Mandalorian takes place at a time when the events of the Sequel Trilogy are already being seeded. All this, the lawless Outer Rim and the ineffective New Republic police, will be swallowed up by the First Order eventually. And Grogu has a long enough lifespan to see this and many other governments rise and fall....

This Star Wars: The Bad Batch review contains spoilers. Star Wars: The Bad Batch Episode 10 This week’s Disney+ blurb offers a promising subject for an episode that mostly lives up to it: “The Bad Batch has their ideology challenged.” The Clone Wars, The Bad Batch‘s spiritual predecessor, often tried to explore a key element of the Prequel era: there were heroes on both sides of the war. Whether or not that show succeeded isn’t the subject of this review, but The Bad Batch does effectively argue for why the citizens of the Separatist systems are more than their Sidious-adjacent mustache-twirling leaders....

2019 was a huge year for Star Wars, even if most of the franchise’s major releases were somewhat polarizing. While not without its flaws, Respawn Entertainment’s Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order proved to a be a solid action-adventure game that told the story of Cal Kestis, a scrapper who was a Jedi Padawan when the Great Jedi Purge happened in Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith. Set in between the prequel trilogy and Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, Fallen Order follows Cal as he tries to enter a vault that is supposed to hold the names of Force-sensitive children....

Poe Dameron’s criminal backstory in The Rise of Skywalker surprised a lot of people. For Latinx fans who found casting Oscar Isaac as a drug-runner an offensive stereotype and comic book readers interested in Poe’s New Republic days, the backstory just didn’t seem to fit. Unfortunately, Poe Dameron: Free Fall, the new YA novel by Alex Segura, expands on the spice runner backstory with dull sincerity, producing a functional space adventure that doesn’t particularly feel like it’s about Poe or even Star Wars....

In case you missed it, the critically acclaimed game Persona 4 Golden has an anime – and you can watch it now on Funimation. Persona 4 Golden was recently put out for PC, marking the eighth anniversary of its release for the PlayStation Vita.
