I tried to start writing this piece around ten minutes ago, but then I remembered one of my favourite videos on the internet, which, for some reason, was almost impossible to find. It’s about two lads fighting over a Lord of the Rings map, with the cause of the argument being rooted in the amount of inaccuracies it has, like how The Shire is southeast of the Grey Havens (it’s not) and Bree is north of the Old Forest (it’s also not)....
Mortal Kombat’s latest movie has a new release date, and it’s now scheduled to launch on April 16. The film will be available both in theaters and on HBO Max, as will all other films in the Warner Bros. family throughout 2021. There’s still a lot we don’t know about the film, but screenwriter Greg Russo confirmed it’ll earn an R-rating – meaning we can look forward to plenty of gory fatalities....
Life is Strange 2 is a Square Enix game that is full of emotional themes and powerful decisions for you to make. Some of the game is light-hearted in tone, while the rest is the complete opposite. Most Life Is Strange fans had trouble making their minds up at many points in the game due to how difficult the decisions are. Below you will find some interesting decisions that are extremely hard to decide on within this choice-based video game....
Next week, a brand new version of Typhoon Studios’ Journey to the Savage Planet is coming exclusively to Stadia with some brand new content. Journey to the Savage Planet: Employee of the Month Edition includes both the base game and the expansion campaign, Hot Garbage DLC. It also includes new, never-before-seen fake ads for futuristic (often disgusting) products, as well as new messages from Kindred Aerospace CEO Martin Tweed. One of the most memorable features in Savage Planet is a series of FMV advertisements for bizarre, futuristic products that play on the TV in your character’s space shit....
After months of missing its previous roadmap targets, Star Citizen released a new update last week that provided the ever-gestating space sim with the shot of fresh content its players needed. And today, developer Cloud Imperium Games revealed even more content that fans will be able to get their hands on later this year, but it’s going to cost them. On the official Star Citizen YouTube channel this week, CIG unveiled the newest ship being added to the game....
This Star Trek: Lower Decks article contains spoilers. If anyone was on the fence as to whether or not the Lower Deckers in Star Trek: Lower Decks were also giant in-universe Star Trek fans, the latest episode, “Veritas,” will reveal the truth. Mariner, Rutherford, Tendi and Boimler know their Trek history better than most real life Trekkies. And to prove it, this episode has more Easter eggs and deep-cuts than (mabye) all the other episodes combined....
This Star Trek: Lower Decks article contains spoilers for Episode 3, “Temporal Edict.” The far future school is correct: one of the most important people in Starfleet history is Chief Miles O’Brien. From the countless times he beamed people out at the last second, to his ability to talk-down crazy starship captains by singing them old songs, to that time he moved an entire space station, O’Brien is a guy who gets the job done....
Darth Vader is one of the most iconic film characters in modern film. Even people who haven’t seen the film series can still name him. (Trust me, they do exist!) He is one of the most powerful and feared Sith Lords to come out of the Star Wars universe, who is able to turn back to the light side at the very end of the films. Originally just an honest kid with wicked piloting abilities, Anakin Skywalker’s start was on Tatooine with his mother....
We’re all very patiently awaiting the return of the first Star Wars flight arcade shooter since X-Wing Alliance. The wait will soon be over as Star Wars: Squadrons drops on October 2, but until then, here’s an animated short to get you in the mood. “Hunted” gives us all a taste of what it will be like to fly in Star Wars: Squadrons. The game (and the video) takes place shortly after the Battle of Endor, where both the Super Star Destroyer and the Death Star were destroyed along with most of The Empire’s command structure (including the Emperor himself)....
After releasing on PC, Xbox One, and PS4 last year, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is now officially available on Google Stadia. To celebrate its release on the new platform, Google is offering Fallen Order at the promotional price of just $23.99. When it first released last year, the game was a critical and commercial success, garnering praise from most gaming outlets and exceeding EA’s sales projections. Fallen Order has seen a bit of a resurgence lately, as it was recently added to Xbox Game Pass when EA Play merged with the service....
Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order will be officially unveiled this Saturday, April 13, but in the meantime, a ton of information on the game may have leaked. A Reddit user by the name of SchrodingersWitcher has salvaged information from deleted posts on the ResetEra forum that was apparently shared by a Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order developer. The leak, if it’s real, reveals a lot about the game, and touches on its combat system, which will apparently remind people of Dark Souls and Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice....
Bethesda’s 2018 E3 showing was one for the ages; Doom Eternal, Rage 2, Starfield, Fallout 76, and The Elder Scrolls VI were all shown in some capacity, and, when it came to topping last year’s efforts, Bethesda certainly had their work cut out for them. Were we destined to get a look at the Maryland-based developer’s new, mysterious science fiction IP? No, of course not. The Bethesda E3 2019 Showcase So, what exactly did they do to grab the attention of attendees and stream followers alike?...
2020 was an incredibly important year for Steam. Back when 2020 first began, the state of the world changed in just a few short months and everyone was stuck at home. With everyone indoors, people took to online gaming platforms like Steam to take their mind off the situation and this led to several records being broken by Steam. Following New Year’s Eve, yet another record has been broken. Since the pandemic first hit, COVID-19 impacted various facets of everyday life and negatively affected many different industries as a result....
In the real world, space is a giant, empty space. In Stellaris, space is full of alien species just waiting to be discovered. Some of those species will be ancient, hyper-advanced civilizations that have created utopian societies, while others might be aggressive, militant cabals that will try to exterminate every other species they meet–including yours. And now you can decide which sort of alien species you’re going to be in Stellaris for just $1 in the Humble Stellaris Discovery Bundle....
In response to the Parkland shooting in Florida, students of The Cushman School in Miami have taken part in a campaign to stop playing violent video games such as first-person shooters. This school is protesting virtual violence and the campaign seeks to help parents raise children in the media era. This campaign echoes President Donald Trump’s recent comments on violence connected to the Internet, video games, and movies. Entitled the “Violent Video Game Toss,” this campaign saw students turn in their violent video games last Friday....
Subnautica takes place on Planet 4546B, an ocean planet. That means that almost every surface on there is completely covered in water; these conditions leave little to no room to walk around; instead, you’ll have to swim wherever you want to go. And, as you can guess, swimming from one place to another isn’t the most practical or fastest way to reach any destination. Don’t worry, though, as Subnautica gives players the possibility to build different forms of transportations....
Ori’s magical journey across The Blind Forest and into the Will of the Wisps are two adventures that are hard to contest with. But if some of the game’s movements and a hint of its beautifully painted world were reimagined in a bullet hell, that might be something worth looking at. Super Mega Team’s in-development title The Knight Witch may be scarce in its gameplay footage and details, but from what we’ve seen, it looks promising....
If you’re a fan of gyro controls, it looks like you might want to try out Super Monkey Ball: Banana Mania this October.

It turns out that raising the price of NBA 2K21 for next generation consoles is no problem for Take-Two. The company’s CEO, Strauss Zelnick, described in a recent investor’s call that charging $70 for NBA 2K21 is the right idea. Over the past few decades, prices for the majority of console games have risen. Typically the change occurs around the switch to a new generation of devices, and this current rise is no different....
