This Star Wars: The Bad Batch review contains spoilers. Star Wars: The Bad Batch Episode 16 The Bad Batch has answered its central question: “What happened to the clones during the Empire?” As with many things in Star Wars, the answer is that a lot ended in fire. Like most of the show, it’s fun but inconsequential, a bingeable, cinematic adventure that is lovely to watch on a big screen the first time and starts to get stale on the second....

Since launching in 2003, Steam has been a force in the world of PC gaming, with the platform acting as the favored digital marketplace for many players that prefer mouse-and-keyboard over home consoles. Lately however, Epic Games has begun pushing back with its own digital store, which has caused many developers to speak up about what they lose when releasing their games on Steam. During a panel at Gamelab 2019 in Barcelona last week, Paradox Interactive’s Executive Chairman Fredrik Wester voiced his opinion on Steam’s 70/30 revenue split....

If you just started playing the game Story of Seasons Friends of Mineral Town, then you have probably heard of the mysterious Kai from the other villagers. Kai is a character that only appears during a single season in-game, making romancing him even hard. Many players will spend multiple years trying to win Kai over, which can be a bit stressful since most of the other normal marriage candidates are much easier to court....

Street Fighter 5 massively misses it sales targets as criticisms, including the game’s lack of content and server issues, discourage people from buying the title. Prior to its release, PC and PS4 players were massively excited for Street Fighter 5. Not only would the game bring back fan favorite characters such as Birdie, R.Mika and, of course, Ryu, but fans were also eager to meet brand new characters such as the wild-haired Necalli and wind-wielding fighter Rashid....

Crafting is a big part of most farming simulators, and Summer in Mara isn’t an exception. Most of your time will be spent scouring the overworld for resources before heading back to your Workshop and piecing them together. While it doesn’t sound very exciting, Thread is actually an important craftable item that you’ll need for an early quest and is useful for several other tasks. Here’s how to craft Thread in Summer in Mara....

Older cards from Magic: the Gathering’s long history can sometimes sell for large amounts of money. The record for the amount a single card from the game has been purchased for was just broken by the same Magic: The Gathering card that claimed the previous record in 2019. Magic: the Gathering launched its first set, called Alpha, back in 1993. Many of these cards were printed only about four or five times, making them difficult to come by and even harder to find in good condition....

Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnickhas stated that there is “No Downside” to releasing Red Dead Redemption 2 on PC, fueling speculation that the game will be released at some point in the future on that platform. While nothing is confirmed at this point, it would make financial sense to broaden the market on which the game, and its microtransactions, could be sold apart from only the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One....

Telltale has made it official, Batman: The Enemy Within is officially planned to launch later this year. While the second season of Telltale’s take on Batman unfortunately had its surprise ruined due to a leak yesterday, that likely won’t slow fans’ excitement for the new season. Once again, the season will be five episodes total. The first Batman: The Enemy Within episode is scheduled to go live on August 8 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC, with iOS and Android devices to follow later this year....

The Walking Dead franchise is known for its stellar storytelling and unique characters. Each character has an individualized personality and uniqueness that makes them stand out amongst the rather bland characters that tend to dominate other mainstream games. Unfortunately, not every character in this universe can live forever. The show has seen many gruesome deaths that have horrified viewers and the games are no exception. Get ready to let the tears flow as we remember the most heartbreaking of deaths in Telltale’s The Walking Dead series....

A few months after Telltale Games announced its sudden closure, lead writer Mary Kenney revealed that she would be joining Insomniac Games, the studio behind Marvel’s Spider-Man. The announcement was made on Kenney’s personal Twitter account, confirming that she is set to join the Insomniac team in the New Year. As a lead writer at Telltale Games, Kenney was behind some of the episodes of the studios’ most popular franchises. Kenney did not reveal what her role will be at Insomniac, but it is assumed that it will be somewhat similar to her writing stint at Telltale Games....

In a forum post on April 12th, Re-Logic announced that it has cancelled it’s Terraria spinoff, titled Otherworld. Terraria: Otherworld was announced in early 2015 and was intended to be a direct spinoff of the highly popular original game. When the game was first announced, it was explained to be a game where players had a mission to clear the world of the antagonist in the game, the Corruption. Otherworld’s production was far from smooth in the three years since it was announced, meaning that consumers are likely less surprised than they would be if the game had been issue free until this point....

Ubisoft RedLynx has announced its addition of the longest track in the history of Trials Rising. The motorcycle racing game will include the ‘Gigatrack’ as a free DLC that will be arriving very soon. Announcing the reveal as part of the Ubisoft Forward event, the team at RedLynx confirmed that “the Gigatrack” would be arriving in Trials Rising July 16. The trailer - released in conjunction with the announcement - promoted Season 6 Journey of Trials and had community developer John Lloyd and creative director Antti Ilvessuo on hand to introduce the new endurance challenge....

With a slew of great villains, gripping storytelling components, and an excellent combat system, the Batman Arkham series was bound to have some memorable boss fights. Batman is a superhero who is lucky enough to boast one of the best rogues galleries in all of comic book lore, so it opened the door for the people behind the games to get creative. Some of the boss fights were awesome because of the action, others were because of the plot twists, some were due to the puzzles that had to be solved, and a few combined them all....

When playing through any Pokemon game, it’s easy to find guides that will show you the best Pokemon based on a number of factors — movepools, abilities, stats, and anything else. However, most of the time, these guides focus on fully-evolved Pokemon, since their stats are higher than their unevolved pre-evolutions. Before reaching the later parts of a game, you’ll be stuck with these unevolved forms. So, which ones should you add to your team?...

The Nintendo GameCube was released in 2001 to mixed feelings by the gaming community. It looks like a lunch box, complete with handle. Another complaint was that GameCube games came on a miniDVD. The GameCube’s competition, PlayStation 2 and Xbox, used standard DVDs. This allowed them to play movies as well as games. This caused many gamers to bypass Nintendo’s fourth console. Time, however, has proven the GameCube to be a capable little console with a library full of incredible games....

Long-time fans of The Banner Saga have come to both seek and fear the franchise’s multitude of choices. After all, the tactical RPG series has regularly bucked the trend of in-game character decisions not having much importance, with instead player choices having some major ramifications over the course of the two games. It’s now been confirmed that this trend will be amplified even further with The Banner Saga 3, with both small and large player decisions resulting in some major changes throughout the course of the game....

It’s not hard to pin down exactly what makes space so terrifying. The vacuous beyond is so dauntingly unexplored that there are bound to be horrors out there unknowable to humans. While many believe that being alone in the universe is one of the most terrifying possibilities imaginable, there is, of course, the alternative terrifying reality that aliens exist, and they’re all out to get us, just like in Alien....

It’s been a long, winding road for The Division 2 since it first launched in 2019, with the game going through many of the growing pains that other live service titles do. Ultimately, fans have received many of the changes they requested, and while there are some lingering issues, Ubisoft Massive is introducing some Resident Evil crossover content as a nice distraction for players, which is available starting today. The event adds a new uniform to The Division 2 modeled after Leon Kennedy’s RPD outfit from Resident Evil 2....

Ubisoft revealed Tom Clancy’s The Division two years ago at E3 2013, and since then, people have been eager to get their hands on the open-world, RPG shooter that’s continued to make appearances at the yearly event. The game finally got a release date at this year’s E3 2015 – which is much appreciated following its rather unsurprising delay to 2016 – but even then, it’s still a ways off. Fortunately, the knowledge that a beta is coming this December was enough to keep people content until then, despite the fact that it’s coming to the Xbox One first....
