The upcoming indie title is a strategy game that tasks players with rejuvenating the environment....

Featuring games like Bully, Grand Theft Auto, and South Park: The Stick of Truth, Game Rant names the 10 most controversial video games produced to date. As one of the world’s largest entertainment industries, video gaming has inevitably come under scrutiny from fans, parents, and even world governments. Some games have been singled out for featuring excessively violent content, whereas others are accused of having Satanic roots or influencing real world crimes....

The term “final girl” is now as ubiquitous in horror culture as “slasher” and “jump scare.” The phrase was first coined by Carol J. Clover’s Men, Women, and Chainsaws: Gender in the Modern Horror Film, and it refers to a heroine (or “survivor girl”) who can be defined by several features: most obviously she is the last one standing after most or all of her friends have been sent to that big boiler room in the sky; she also is traditionally young, and has remained virginal and pure in the face of vice—making her far too innocent for a chainsaw’s sullying touch; and finally she must appropriate a masculine object to assert herself above the monster (i....

The fact that Warhorse Studios decided upon an extremely ambitious and realistic open-world medieval RPG as their first game is something that definitely needs to be commended. In this context, Kingdom Come: Deliverance is easily one of the greatest achievements of any gaming studio, with the game being a highly enjoyable — if somewhat buggy — romp from start to end. That being said, there’s no denying the fact that Kingdom Come is definitely not a perfect experience by any stretch of the imagination… but fans who want to mitigate the annoyances from this title can end up integrating a whole host of mods that can optimize and improve the overall experience of this title in many ways....

Now, I’m not a parent yet, but my partner and I are starting to turn our thoughts towards creating one of these ‘child’ things we’ve heard so much about. Apparently, they’re just like adults, but shorter, and haven’t had their spirits broken by the nature of real life yet. It sounds like something we want to be a part of. As with all parents-to-be, I’m a little concerned about what the future’s going to hold for my hypothetical children....

It’s hard to believe that it has already been more than a decade since EverQuest and World of Warcraft first got gamers addicted to massively multiplayer games. A lot has changed since the genre became popular, but in the last few years one of those changes has been a steady decline in subscription-paying players. Many of the well-established MMORPGs have grown outdated and new launches have stumbled off the starting block....

Despite winning the Emmy for Outstanding Children’s Program, Netflix’s The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance has been cancelled. It’s a rough blow for those who were eager to see where the story would go next, though it’s possible the creative team might find a different way to continue the tale – comic continuations are all the rage these days. Regardless, even with some cliff-hanger components to its finale, the ten episodes which the Jim Henson Company came up with are still an absolute gift to television, accomplishing so much for both newcomers to the franchise and those who appreciate the original 80’s film....

It won’t be too much longer before Ubisoft and Massive Entertainment’s forthcoming third-person shooter sequel, Tom Clancy’s The Division 2, officially arrives across PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One platforms. With this being the case, the video game publisher and developer have decided to prime potential players for the kind of content to come in the new looter-shooter by releasing the title’s official launch trailer. Tom Clancy’s The Division 2’s launch trailer follows a handful of different Agents as they explore a fictional version of Washington D....

Ubisoft announces a team-up with tech company Tobii to make upcoming shooter Tom Clancy’s The Division compatible with eye-tracking technology, allowing PC gamers to use their eyes to play. When Tom Clancy’s The Division was first unveiled at E3 2013, the gritty, realistic trailer promised fans a unique game that would immerse players in a living, Ubisoft-supported world. While The Division’s focus on shooting-centric open world MMO-esque action drew comparisons to Bungie’s Destiny, Ubisoft promised that The Division would be unlike anything gamers have ever seen before....

This The Flash review contains spoilers. The Flash Season 4 Episode 14 It’s one step forward and two steps back for Team Flash this week, where the gang figures out a piece of the Devoe puzzle, but at great cost. It’s also a time for the supporting characters to shine, with Ralph, Harry, and Cecile stepping into the spotlight for a while. It’s no real surprise that Captain Singh put Barry on indefinite leave, but considering Barry is one of the few heroes who is as passionate about his day job as he is about his off-hours gig, it’s heartbreaking nonetheless....

In the current age of multi-pronged media management strategies, stories don’t so much end as expand. So the revelation that HBO was developing multiple Game of Thrones spinoffs, even before that iconic series ended, was hardly a surprise. At one point, HBO had as many as eight potential series set in George R.R. Martin’s World of Ice and Fire in development. And while not all of them would be greenlit, they were each assumed to have one thing in common: these were prequels....

The Last of Us has become one of the more important and powerful forms of storytelling in the medium. Even if The Last of Us 2 came with controversies, the games are largely beloved and the narrative behind the character development and world building has been praised as gripping, emotional, and remarkable. The Last of Us is regarded as an amazing video game, but the world is also set up nicely for HBO’s take on it as a television show....

The most challenging puzzle that players will face when progressing through The Medium’s story is the water pump that is encountered after players unlock the bunker door in the red house basement. While the puzzle may initially appear daunting with several levers and buttons for the player to press, like most puzzles in The Medium, the solution is not as difficult as it may appear. In the water pump facility, there are four main rooms that players will progress through to unlock the puzzle....

Excitement has been building around The Medium after it was revealed at the May iteration of Xbox 20/20.

We just passed the 20th anniversary of the release of The Mummy Returns, the follow-up flick to the 1999 blockbuster classic, The Mummy. While the franchise sequel has understandably not developed the same level of legacy as its predecessor, it’s honestly still pretty great and has some lessons contemporary blockbusters could learn from—namely, that there can be great power in a good romance. The Mummy Returns came out in 2001 and is set nine years after the original film when it picks back up with Rachel Weisz’ Egyptologist Evelyn “Evie” O’Connell (née Carnahan) and her husband, American adventurer Rick O’Connell (Brendan Fraser)....
