There are few indie success stories quite as huge as the farming/life simulation game Stardew Valley, as at the beginning of 2020 its originally solo developer Eric “ConcernedApe” Barone announced Stardew Valley had sold 10 million copies. Now, Barone seems to be teasing the likelihood of the game getting a physical release sometime in the near future. In response to a fan on Twitter who goes by Beigegamer, Barone said there is a “good chance” that Stardew Valley might get a physical release on the Nintendo Switch outside of Japan....
The Steam Summer Sale has begun, bringing discounts meant to empty our wallets, but a serious error in this year’s metagame seems to be significantly impacting developers in a negative way. With almost every seasonal sale on Steam, there is a metagame that involves users voting on their favorite game or crafting items to redeem for discounts and cosmetic items for their profiles. The theme for this summer sale is the Steam Grand Prix, a racing themed metagame not dissimilar from one we have seen in the past....
Truly memorable film adaptations of Stephen King’s work, as longtime fans know, are few and far between. Of the dozens of movies and TV projects based on his novels, novellas, short stories and other material, one can probably name five or perhaps 10 that stand out and can be called great: among those are Carrie (1976), The Shining (1980), The Dead Zone (1983), Misery (1990) and The Shawshank Redemption (1994). And now you can add It — director Andy Muschietti’s (Mama) take on King’s 1,100-page 1986 doorstop of a book — to that list....
Rocksteady Studios has finally debuted details for its follow-up to the Batman: Arkham series. Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League was revealed at the DC Fandome this evening with a cinematic trailer that showed off the game’s four main characters, Harley Quinn, Deadshot, Captain Boomerang, and King Shark, taking down legions of what appears to be humans being mind-controlled by Brainiac. It turns out that this trailer was hinting at what of the game’s main features: four-player co-op multiplayer....
One of the forebearers of the indie game renaissance the video game industry is still currently experiencing, Super Meat Boy is both historically important and still incredibly fun, if not occasionally frustrating, to play. The franchise has endured for well over a decade, as its most recent entry and sequel to the original, Super Meat Boy Forever, finally had its official release last month after multiple delays and great anticipation....
The number of daily visitors to Super Nintendo World has been halved and then halved again due to a spike in COVID cases in Osaka, Japan. Last month, following a number of delays that lasted for almost a year, Super Nintendo World was finally allowed to open its gates. However, the larger park it calls home, Universal Studios in Osaka, Japan, is being partially blamed for a spike in COVID-19 cases in the area....
The design for the cactus in the desert portion of Super Nintendo World looks a lot like a fan-made asset, but that may be because it’s one of the first search results when looking up “New Super Mario Bros. Wii Cactus” on Google. It’s likely an accident, but the modders don’t mind. In the picture revealed by Nintendo, you can see a cactus alongside a Pokey, those tall spikey enemies made up of several balls stacked on top of one another, and this cacti design doesn’t actually appear in any Mario game - at least, not officially....
The next event in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate will involve packing on the pounds, as the stages will be full of food. There is a handful of healing moves in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, but their effect is generally negligible. Hero has access to a Heal spell with his down+B, but he can only use it a limited number of times during a battle. Wii Fit Trainer’s Deep Breathing special can also heal, but it has both a cooldown and a timed command....
Hollywood actor Terry Crews has long been dropping hints that he’ll be voicing the mysterious Doomfist in Overwatch, though Blizzard has yet to officially confirm anything.

In a new 15-minute long Facebook Live video, Crews gave his fans an update on the progress of his latest PC build, some of his upcoming projects, as well as a quick tour of his awesome office....
The Mass Effect trilogy is considered by many to be one of the greatest sci-fi gaming trilogies of all time, with even the broken release of Mass Effect: Andromeda doing little to nothing to stop the hype train of this franchise. Bioware’s reputation might not be at its greatest by any stretch of the imagination, but one need only look at the hype surrounding the news of a new game in the series to understand just how beloved the Mass Effect property is among the fanbase....

The Pokemon Trading Card Game (TCG) is beloved by hardcore fans and casuals alike. Many millennials and zoomers grew up collecting the cards and battling their friends on the playgrounds. Whether the collection you still keep in the closet has some actual monetary value or just good ol’ sentimental value, millions of cards are in existence today. Though you can go through your own cards for some of these ultra-rare cards, you probably won’t be lucky enough to find one....
The NES Classic Edition is finally here, riding a wave of enthusiasm normally reserved for things like, y’know, new consoles. But there’s good reason for that. A simple, plug n’ play NES emulator at an exceedingly reasonable price launching during the holiday season was a sure thing, and the inclusion of 30 classic games sure didn’t hurt. So you’ve got your NES Classic. Where do you start? You really can’t go wrong with any of them, but we’ve got our favorites....
Warner Bros. Discovery just had a very good CinemaCon—its first under the new banner. At the Las Vegas event, the re-christened studio revealed our first look at Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie’s intriguing Barbie movie, which will now open in direct competition with Christopher Nolan and Universal’s Oppenheimer (it would seem the bad blood between studio-and-director exes is mutual); WB also dropped an apparently sizzling trailer for Olivia Wilde’s thriller Don’t Worry, Darling; and, oh yes, announced a little movie called The Batman 2....

Warning: contains spoilers for The Capture season 2 episode 3. At the end of The Capture season 2 opener, DCI Rachel Carey revealed her real reason for having accepted the job with MI5. Hers wasn’t a case of “Can’t beat them, join them”, as she’d been accused by DS Flynn, but rather ‘join them so that she could beat them’. Carey was no turncoat. She had agreed to work for the intelligence service to secretly gather evidence and expose the practice of Correction, putting an end to the state-assisted fabrication of CCTV footage....

The main plot of the games revolves around an intergalactic war between the alien alliance, the Covenant, and the rest of humanity. The central figure of this war and story is Master Chief Petty Officer John-117, or Master Chief for short, a Spartan, better known as a supersoldier....
Okay, there’s no denying that The Devil’s Rain makes little if any sense. The plot is full of gaping holes, and the details and the explanations we are given are merely confounding. Even the tagline—”Heaven Help Us When The Devil’s Rain”—despite the stab at a bad pun, is meaningless and grammatically incorrect. Director Robert Fuest (The Abominable Dr. Phibes) knew as much before he agreed to take on the project. He complained to the screenwriters about this, but they calmly assured him that no, it all made perfectly clear sense....
