One of the most critically-acclaimed versions of Tetris, the psychedelic puzzler Tetris Effect, may be coming to a new platform soon, because evidence has shown up suggesting the game may be launching for Oculus Quest. The evidence in question consists of reports by users on Reddit that claim that Tetris Effect was briefly listed on the “Coming Soon” section for the standalone headset’s store page, and a few were able to capture screenshots of the listing, as shared by Upload VR....

After years of forgettable, lukewarm efforts, Tony Hawk is back and better than ever. With the release of the enjoyable, nostalgic Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2, Vicarious Visions channels the appealing traits of the older TH classics while adding modern-day flair and polish. This includes some addictive and robust online multiplayer. Along with satisfying mechanics and addictive gameplay, this solid remaster has reminded gamers of the slew of memorable stages populating the franchise....

Hyrule Warriors’ roster started out small with its initial release on the Wii U, it grew exponentially with the 3DS and Nintendo Switch versions. It is a massive game with tons to do, including a story campaign, extra quests, and of course, over twenty characters to level up. With so many choices, it can be a bit daunting in figuring out which fighters to main and which should be left high and dry....

While the comedy movie genre had its heyday many years ago – either with the silent classics of Chaplin and Keaton, the absurdist masterpieces of Mel Brooks and the Zucker brothers, or the satirical gems of Elaine May and Albert Brooks – the turn of the 21st century brought along a new movement in Hollywood film comedy pioneered by Judd Apatow and Adam McKay. Unfortunately, after the Apatow man-child slacker type lost his appeal, comedy filmmakers seemingly gave up on the genre....

Payday 2 is well known as well for its heisting and criminal gameplay as it is for the numerous and iconic masks the game contains. Choosing the perfect mask and customizing it to make it your own is almost just as fun as blasting your way through waves of enemies dead set on stopping your criminal shenanigans. There are hundreds of masks in Payday 2, although many of these are slight variations on other masks or look extremely similar to others....

Despite what popular perception might be, a lot of horror fans watch scary movies to get away from life’s harsh realities. So in a way, basing a horror on something that actually happened defeats the point. But the fact is it’s all in the telling. We’ve been quite strict about not including things that were just loosely inspired by a real event, with the majority of the story a fiction. So no Psycho or Texas Chain Saw Massacre (both inspired by Ed Gein) and no The Exorcist (the book was inspired by a real boy) etc....

The Splinter Cell games enjoyed massive success during their run in the early to mid-2000s. These strict stealth games masterfully delivered the fantasy of being a super-secret spy going about dangerous missions. The last entry in the series came in the form of 2013’s Splinter Cell: Blacklist which sold poorly, and as a result, fan-favorite Sam Fisher has been nowhere in sight. That being said, those who have played these games still consider them to be some of the best stealth games to date, with good reason....

Without question, acquiring powerful loot is certain to be a primary goal for many players that are currently hitting level 30 and reaching the endgame in The Division 2. Some of the most powerful, and rarest iterations of loot in the game are the exotic weapons, including the Chatterbox SMG. For those that are looking to add this gun to their arsenals, several steps will need to be taken. The Chatterbox SMG is a craftable exotic item featuring three desirable effects....

Following the official announcement of Tom Clancy’s The Division 2, Ubisoft Red Storm Creative Director Terry Spier confirmed that the sequel would be bringing back the first game’s PvP area known as the Dark Zone. Now, it looks as if the development team behind the forthcoming followup have made a bevy of changes to the Dark Zone, including the addition of three individual DZ areas, an overhaul of the loot system, and more....

After being delayed until 2016, fresh information from one online retailer suggests that the closed beta for Ubisoft MMO The Division will begin January 29. Ubisoft’s upcoming MMO The Division has been at the top of gamer wishlists for quite some time. The third person shooter initially impressed during the publisher’s E3 2013 press conference and thanks to gameplay trailers released since then, fans have been at the edge of their seats watching groups of players attempt to protect and seize control of a New York City in the middle of a crisis....

In anticipation of the upcoming action-adventure title The Last Guardian, Sony and Team Ico show off the game’s new CG cinematic trailer for US theaters. After having recently revealed some action-oriented gameplay for The Last Guardian, its developers have now delivered a brand new computer generated trailer for the title that errs on the cinematic side. Since this is the case, Sony and Team Ico have decided to not only publish the footage online, but also use it as a means to market the forthcoming game by having the trailer run in US cinemas up through The Last Guardian’s official release in a little over two weeks from now....

Players were first introduced to Ellie in The Last of Us as the only known individual with proven immunity to the cordyceps brain infection that devastated the world. While fans got the chance to know a lot about her and even play as her for a short period of time in the game, The Last of Us Part II gives players a more intimate experience with an older version of Ellie....

10 years ago towards the end of the film industry’s 3D mania, the Nintendo 3DS made its way into North America as the company hoped to capitalize that concept in the video game format. Now completely overshadowed by the Switch’s sales and mass appeal, the 3DS helped Nintendo stay relevant in the video game market when the Wii U was struggling while also influencing the hybrid console’s design philosophy. Originally released in Japan on February 11, the 3DS would land on Western shores a little over a month later with a steep launch price of $249....

The official PlayStation Blog website has been updated to make it easier to switch between languages, as well as combining the English versions of the site into one. Sony has often used the official PlayStation Blog as a place to make official announcements or upload Q&A sessions regarding upcoming games. A lot of what we know about the PlayStation 5 has come from this site, especially in regards to the DualSense controllers....

This Star Trek: Discovery article contains spoilers for the Season 3 premiere. You’d think that a new Star Trek series set centuries and centuries beyond any of the shows and movies wouldn’t have that many references to the series and films that came before, right? Well, Star Trek: Discovery Season 3 might be set in a brand new time period — the year 3188 to be precise — but the narrative is built atop the layered history of Trek’s future history super carefully....

The Star Wars franchise is one of the most revered sci-fi series of all time, but it’s not without its flaws. The original series is regarded by most fans as the best trilogy, but the prequel and sequel trilogies had fans of the series griping. One of the reasons for the distaste of the sequel trilogy was its underdeveloped, disconnected plot points. This is in part thanks to having multiple directors working on the same three-movie arc....

The Disney Star Wars trilogy introduced fans to a whole new cast of heroes like Rey, Poe Dameron, BB-8, and certainly Finn. Specifically, by the trilogy’s conclusion in Rise of Skywalker, fans noticed a diminishing role for John Boyega’s Finn. Fans expected many things from him, even things that were hinted at on posters or through the character’s behavior or dialogue in the movies, but none of them came to pass....

The Star Wars film franchise remains highly marketable despite some questionable choices like Solo: A Star Wars Story and, of course, the prequel trilogy released from 1999 to 2005. Now that Disney Plus has announced a number of Star Wars projects in the works, it does feel to some extent as though the possibilities for Star Wars films could be endless. The Star Wars films exist in their own universe, and it seems like there are so many ideas, mediums, and genres that could be explored within that universe....

Star Wars Battlefront is celebrating the holidays by offering a free trial weekend of the Death Star DLC and some XP and credit rewards for logging in during the event. Due to its lack of a single-player campaign, Star Wars Battlefront wasn’t exactly met with raving reviews when it launched in late 2015. Despite the lack of love from critics, Battlefront has been riding the Star Wars buzz and still maintains a decent player base....
