Sony has now issued the very first PlayStation State of Play of 2021. The presentation came as a sudden surprise, not just as a release but regarding the material of the State of Play, too. That’s because today’s PlayStation State of Play is focusing on just a single game, the PS5 exclusive Destruction AllStars, an upcoming multiplayer vehicular combat game. The State of Play for Destruction AllStars features a hefty 7 minutes of action for interested PS5 users to check out....

The nostalgic family game Jenga usually has happy memories and positive connotations attached to its intense gameplay. However, the iconic wooden tower carries new meaning in survival-horror tabletop RPG Dread. Much like Jenga, Dread’s concept is rather simple. Imagine a regular game of Dungeons & Dragons - packed to the brim with fantasy, challenges and charming characters - but instead of rolling the dice to determine action resolution, the Jenga tower decides....

To say Team Fortress 2 has a wide collection of weapons in the game is an understatement. Despite already having 160 unique weapons, that isn’t counting yet reskins and other weapon qualities. TF2 has many weapon variants such as Strange which are weapons that count lifetime kills, Festive which are weapons decorated with holiday ornaments, Australium which are basically gold weapons made from a canonically rare and unstable material, and so much more....

This article contains spoilers for Criminal Minds. Criminal Minds had us hooked on the F.B.I.’s Behavioral Analysis Unit (B.A.U.) for 15 incredible seasons. The team had their wheels up for 324 episodes as they profiled some of the world’s worst serial killers, while also giving viewers a glimpse into the show’s main characters’ lives and gifting them with some incredible celebrity guest stars along the way. The series has been full of ups and downs as fans saw many characters come and go and come back again (yes, we’re looking at you, Paget Brewster)....

As the current console generation winds down with few games scheduled for release between now and November, it’s the perfect time to revisit, or even discover for the first time, the very best exclusive games of the PlayStation 4. With Ghost of Tsushima capping off a long list of iconic games, Sony’s exclusive line-up arguably remains unrivaled. For the best part of a decade, Sony has introduced gamers to new and exciting heroes, resurrected the best antiheroes, and revealed some breathtaking worlds bound to the PlayStation 4....

Sometimes it feels like SpongeBob SquarePants memes are the logical conclusion to Western popular culture. Memeable bites of the classic Nick Toon allow for older (some would call geriatric) millennials to share their feelings from their half-remembered childhoods in all new contexts. When Earth is gone and the aliens have arrived one day, perhaps the only evidence that we were ever here will be images of SpongeBob emoting on a recovered hard drive....

The Game Awards 2020 was full of surprise game announcements, including the reveal of Dead Space creator Glen Schofield’s next game, The Callisto Protocol. Clearly meant to be a spiritual successor to the Dead Space franchise, some may be surprised to learn that The Callisto Protocol is tied to a completely different game entirely. As it turns out, The Callisto Protocol is set in the same universe as PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds....

It’s one of the great villain introductions in cinema history. Standing with a slight hunch at the center of a massive 70mm image, Heath Ledger’s interpretation of the Joker not so much dominates the frame as he commandeers it. He seduces the IMAX camera, which is still capturing vast amounts of Chicago’s cityscape around him, and draws it closer to his sphere of influence, and by extension us. Before this moment in Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight, the director’s Gotham City functioned with clocklike precision....

Today is a big day for The Division 2, as today sees the release of The Division 2’s Title Update 11, which kicks off Season 3 for the online third-person shooter while introducing plenty of new content like the PvE mode known as The Summit. It’s a good time to jump into the game, and as it happens, Ubisoft will be making the game free-to-play this weekend, giving would-be players the chance to do just that....

DC revealed the first official artwork for Barry Allen’s new suit in The Flash, one of it’s next major movies. The reveal came as part of DC FanDome, a digital event hosted by DC with a slate of new announcements and reveals, which has shown something for many fans of DC, in addition to the Flash’s new suit. The suit is a pretty drastic departure from the one the Flash wears in the Justice League movie....

Ah yes, the cartoon catchphrase. That quote uttered by your favourite character so many times that it has pried open your skull and set up home in your everyday vocabulary. A trademark when executed at precisely the right time, it functions as the laziest punchline in existence, triggering the warm chemicals of familiarity right down into your lungs, knocking out a laugh even though you’ve heard it an immeasurable amount of times already....

The first Hitman’s Bodyguard is nobody’s idea of a great movie, but under the right set of circumstances it could be the source of a great time. I encountered the optimal such factors when I watched it with some tipsy friends whose idea of a movie night usually features beer and pizza. While that 2017 film was rote and overly familiar, the affable chemistry between Samuel L. Jackson and Ryan Reynolds and some excellent stunt work, went a long way....

Set in the dead, evergreen city of Seattle, Washington, The Last of Us Part II brings a fresh experience for the players. Sure, The Last of Us has always been the story of Ellie and Joel Miller, but the chillingly hazardous nature of Seattle takes the game to a whole new level—almost as if it’s a secondary protagonist of the game. However, many players might have missed these ten things after finishing all the Seattle chapters in Part II, from facts to hidden Easter eggs....

The games in The Legend of Zelda series are iconic, from the nostalgic favorite Ocarina of Time to the new classic Breath of the Wild. These titles have a long history of excellence and stand as some of the best examples of good video games that have ever been made. One element from the Zelda series that has remained largely unchanged across its lifetime is the Heart Piece - collectibles that raise Link’s health pool, and are always a little tricky to obtain....

It has recently been announced that the upcoming Future Games Show will feature a treat for expectant fans of Lord of the Rings: Gollum. With the event kicking off on March 25th, one of the few details that fans have been privy to is that the pre-show will center around Daedlic Entertainment. During the 15 minute segment, Daedlic Entertainment will give fans a look at seven of their upcoming titles including their most anticipated future release, Lord of the Rings: Gollum....

This article contains Marvel Cinematic Universe spoilers. Something the Marvel Cinematic Universe has been able to incorporate well is taking certain ideas and building on them through the years, allowing them to balloon in importance until they go critical. Phase 1 was built around the novelty of a cinematic superhero team made of established characters. Phases 2 and 3 took the existence of the Infinity Stones and turned it into a massive, climactic two-parter....

Players of The Medium assume the role of Marianne, who is drawn to the hotel Niwa by spirits to uncover the location’s tragic past. However, before The Medium players can face the many horrors inside The Niwa hotel, they must first figure out how to get inside. When players first arrive at the Niwa resort they will notice that the main entrance is chained shut. With no way to use Marianne’s powers to break the chain at this point in the game, the only alternative is a side entrance that appears to be missing a door handle....

This Obi-Wan Kenobi review contains spoilers. Star Wars: Obi-Wan Kenobi Episode 1 and 2 Ewan McGregor’s return as Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi is a Prequel kid dream. With the sort of cast reunion the Sequel Trilogy provided for the children of the ’80s, McGregor and Hayden Christensen are poised to stoke the same fervor for fans who grew up in the early 2000s. Luckily, Deborah Chow brings her directorial confidence from The Mandalorian to a strong start for the six-episode Obi-Wan Kenobi miniseries....

Star Wars: The Bad Batch is a Star Wars spin-off animated series set during the rise of the Empire, and as of today - May the Fourth - it’s available to watch via Disney Plus.
