Team Meat’s not yet ready to release Super Meat Boy Forever, but it isn’t going to pass up an opportunity to make a cutting remark towards Electronic Arts in the process. Today the Super Meat Boy Forever developers issued a statement confirming a delay, noting that the game needs a bit more time in development and will miss its April release window. In the process of revealing the dealy, Team Meat makes a not-subtle-at-all reference to an “Evil A**hat corporation” and it’s definitely not just a reference to where Dr....

Role playing games have a long and important history with video games. Since their creation video games have gathered a large number of fans, as well as critics. One of these critics being Metacritic, a site that rates movies, video games, music, and more. Metacritic also has subcategories such as RPGs, Shooters, and Action. An important aspect of RPGs are the characters. From being given a specific player character to character creation menus, video games have provided many options for fans....

RPGs (role-playing games) place players in the shoes of a fictional character in a fictional setting. By influencing the outcomes of a game, players notice that actions can have great consequences. In an RPG, players can turn a town’s guards against them, form romantic relationships, barter for goods, and develop their character into a force to be reckoned with. We’ve seen great PC RPGs from developers like Obsidian Entertainment and Bethesda Softworks, among others....

This article contains spoilers for The Boys season 2. Most male monsters in fiction are made by women. Or, at least, it’s women who tend to get the disproportionate share of the blame when their creations turn out to be significantly less than civilized (perhaps because, historically, most of them were written by men). The most famous examples of murderer-moulding mothers are probably Norma Bates, Cersei Lannister, Olivia Soprano and, of course, Mrs....

The wait for the Hero from the Dragon Quest series is almost over, as Masahiro Sakurai has revealed that he will be available to download and purchase in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate as of today in most regions. Sakurai hosted an off the cuff livestream in order to promote the impending release of Hero, rather than the scripted ones that are usually held for new Super Smash Bros. characters. In the livestream, Sakurai discussed the design differences between each version of Hero (such as Eight carrying Munchie the mouse in his pocket) and listed all of the voice actors who would be appearing in the game....

Thanks to Animal Crossing: New Horizons, gamers can get a change of pace from the rather repetitive routine of daily life. With their Nintendo Switch, Animal Crossing players get to build the village of their dreams alongside the company of lovable villagers. Moreover, despite the game’s routine-like nature, the title rewards players with various oddities. These rewards include unique interactions, memorable encounters, and even Nook Miles for accomplishing simple tasks....

The following contains THE FLASH spoilers through Season 7, Episode 10 Just when you thought this whole Forces of Nature story on The Flash couldn’t possibly get any weirder or more excruciating to watch, here comes Season 7’s “Family Matters, Part 1,” which not only forces us to watch Barry Allen bully a grown woman he unironically refers to as his “daughter,” it blurs the lines even further between what these Forces are supposed to be, do, or mean within the world of the show....

Fumihiko Yasuda’s favourite Ninja Gaiden game is one that most fans of the series probably won’t agree with. We’ve spoken to Team Ninja head Fumihiko Yasuda twice now, previously about Nioh 2’s release on PC, and now for the upcoming Ninja Gaiden: Master Collection, and each time he reveals something interesting. Whether that’s potentially “sexy” yokai demons getting cut from Nioh 2, or his insightful views on video game difficulty and spicy food....

The Last of Us 2 is undeniably a dark, violent, and uncomfortable experience. At one point, it was going to be even darker, with the director and narrative lead sharing the game’s original and drastically different ending. At one point, however, accessibility options that would’ve made the game less violent were briefly considered, mainly concerning the game’s violence against dogs. The Last of Us 2 has been lauded for its vast array of accessibility options, from camera assists, aiming assists, and features that make the game playable for those with impaired vision and even blindness....

While there’s a lot to talk about when it comes to the first full trailer for HBO’s upcoming adaptation of The Last of Us, it’s no surprise that people are already fascinated with the brief look that trailer offers of Melanie Lynskey’s character. Not only is Lynskey red hot at the moment thanks to her incredible run on Yellowjackets, but it turns out her Last of Us character isn’t directly based on a known character from the games....

Very little has been revealed about the upcoming film adaptation of popular PlayStation exclusive The Last of Us since the project was first announced. However, a recent statement made by Naughty Dog Creative Director Neil Druckmann seems to suggest that any future film adaptation of the title will not be a direct retelling of the game. Presenting a conversation on crafting narratives for video games, film, and television with filmmaker Dan Trachtenberg at the 2018 D....

The Mass Effect Remastered Trilogy is looking more likely than ever. Rumors that BioWare could be working on a remaster of their sci-fi series began as far back as 2014, but EA’s announcement of an “HD Title” due before the end of the fiscal year and Dark Horse’s announcement of a new book of concept art due in February 2021 has many fans hoping that the remaster will be confirmed on November 7 this year, AKA N7 Day....

New details have emerged about the upcoming Monster Hunter movie and the story is sounding worse with each new update. Capcom made a lot of money with the Resident Evil film series, but that’s a franchise that is tailor-made for movies. Resident Evil is all about regular people fighting for survival against zombies in a contemporary setting, which is an easy thing to replicate in live-action - even if the movies did get more ridiculous as they went on....

LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is filled with playable characters from the Star Wars universe, many of which are famous faces. However, the game’s developers also dove deep into the depths of Star Wars lore to fill out the title’s roster of playable characters with truly strange selections that only the most diehard fans would possibly recognize. Gamers who want to experience everything The Skywalker Saga has to offer will have to unlock over 380 characters....

The first Stadia Connect press conference was held right before E3 2019, two years ago to the day. Since then, the service has launched in 22 countries, Stadia Pro subscribers have collected over 70 free games, the in-house studio Stadia Games & Entertainment was formed and later dismantled, and last week, Ubisoft brought its subscription service Ubisoft+ to Stadia. Stadia has grown and changed in a lot of ways over the last two years, but as a daily user of the platform, it’s clear that Stadia has a long way to go....

This Star Trek: Discovery review contains spoilers. Star Trek: Discovery Season 3, Episode 8 From the very beginning, Star Trek: Discovery has loved putting Michael Burnham in an impossible situation, and making her choose. This isn’t a bad narrative habit, especially for a show as thematically-driven as Star Trek, but some Kobayashi Maru scenarios are more interesting than others and, some, well… some are just plain clunky. This was the case in “The Sanctuary,” which saw not only Michael but the whole Discovery crew sent to Book’s home planet, Kwejian, to strictly observe, Emerald Chain leader Oysraa show up to bully the trance worm-loving planet....

This article contains minor spoilers for Star Trek: Lower Decks. Just in case you’re confused, the new animated comedy series, Star Trek: Lower Decks, is not a spoof. Although there are some meta-fictional elements (just how the hell did Mariner have dreams about Khan?) the series isn’t a comedy-spoof of Star Trek, but rather, a comedy series that is set within the Trek canon. As creator and showrunner Mike McMahan has said many times, Lower Decks is canon, meaning things that happen on this series, could, in theory, affect other shows....
