Bandai Namco has also dropped a new trailer to celebrate its festival and the series 25th anniversary. The Tales of Festival missed its original date by a whole year, but the show will go on at Yokohama Arena soon....

29 year old gym teacher Brett Belsky of Brooklyn, New York’s Middle School 890 has been fired for playing Epic Games’ popular battle royale shooter Fortnite with students. Back in January of 2018, Belsky shared his Xbox Live gamertag with the kids, and promised to play Fortnite with them if they did well in their classes.

With the imminent arrival of the next console generation, many gamers are deciding which console to migrate to. While the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X look like great consoles, some gamers have taken to purchasing PCs instead. The wide selection of games and apps on PC makes it an appealing choice for many gamers. Steam’s wide selection of games on PC reaches into the tens of thousands, ranging from full triple-A games to free titles....

The PS2 saw a plethora of racing games come out. Many tried to follow in the footsteps of bigger and better games, some were video game adaptions of racing movies, and others were sports games from official series. With so many, there were few that rose to the top as classics in the genre at the time. They were lauded as the best of the generation and should be added to someone’s wishlist if they love this genre of gaming....

Netflix has become known for taking risks regarding original movies and television shows. With Stranger Things pulling in the big bucks, it would be wise for them to continue playing the game the way they are. But not every original movie or show that premieres on Netflix are a hit. 2017 had its fair share of flops and disasters along with original hits that blew everyone away like Castlevania, Master of None, Bojack Horseman, American Vandal, Mindhunter, and G....

With the most wonderful time of the year right around the corner, Game Rant takes a look back at the greatest yuletide levels to ever grace video games. It feels as though Christmas comes earlier and earlier every year. The carolers start bundling up around October, and the jolly fat man himself starts popping up in malls across the country in early November. But while Christmas may be escaping December, its coming means that gamers finally have an excuse to do some yuletide gaming....

E3 is upon us, and because this year’s presentation is digital-only, that means more trailers than you can shake a severed cybernetic arm at. The Ascent is no exception, with a 45-second trailer showing this top-down shooter’s fast-paced, loot-filled action. From the great minds at Neon Digital, an 11-person Swedish studio, The Ascent is a twin-stick looter shooter where you play as a gun-for-hire on an alien planet. Megacorporations have essentially ruined everything, and after they leave the planet, mayhem breaks out as a power vacuum leaves criminal gangs and warlords in charge....

The Pokémania boom of the late ’90s/early ’00s was a strange time and it led to some bizarre Pokémon events and merchandise, as Game Freak and Nintendo attempted to profit from their amazing cash cow. The Pokémon franchise is no stranger to original music and there were a number of soundtrack CDs that contained songs performed by the cast of the anime, as well as songs associated with the movies. These include “Don’t Say You Love Me” by M2M from Pokémon: The First Movie and the “Pokémon 2....

Disco Elysium is a deep and layered experience. It’s a game that examines alcoholism, abuse, corruption, poverty, existentialism, nihilism, several different strands of political theory, love, loss, and the human condition, all while trying to solve a grisly murder. It moves slow, it sinks under your skin and wedges itself there like a shard of glass. Every footstep brings a new discovery, and every single one of them tears you to pieces....

Bluepoint Games’ new Demon’s Souls remake has quickly taken off as one of the top picks for the PS5’s starting lineup with the console’s recent launch. With veteran players transferring over from the PS3 version and some Dark Souls fans coming to Demon’s Souls for the first time, fans are quickly exploring and recording every major change made to the game.

This article contains spoilers for The Boys season 3 episode 1 and Doctor Stranger in the Multiverse of Madness. These reshoots allow The Boys to make some jokes at both the DCEU and Star Wars’ expense. The fictional film was apparently part of a Snyder Cut-like movement to “release the Bourke Cut,” a gag that Zack Snyder himself appears to have appreciated. Later on when Bourke is engaging in some aggressive coitus with Vought PR director Ashley Barrett (Colby Minifie) she taunts him for being a shitty director who had to have Tony Gilroy reshoot all of his shit, referring to the extensive reshoots Gilroy performed on Rogue One: A Star Wars Story....

“I keep wondering what I’ll do…. when @cw_supernatural finally ends this year,” Ackles announced on Instagram. “Then it hit me.” At which point in the video he’s tossed a copy of The Boys by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson, while Elvis Presley’s version of the song “Soldier Boy” plays in the background. Ackles will play Soldier Boy, the original superhero in The Boys’ universe. When Soldier Boy came home from World War II in the comic books, he came back more than a hero; he was the first “super celebrity” and maintained a recognizable figure in American culture for decades....

Perfect World Entertainment and Cryptic Studio’s Magic: Legends goes into the open beta next month. Soon players will have their first chance to experience everything that Legends’ unique blend of action-RPG gameplay and Magic: The Gathering deck-building has to offer. It’s been nearly a year since Cryptic first showed off Magic: Legends at PAX East 2020, and naturally, a lot has changed. For one thing, the studio isn’t calling it an MMO anymore....

Digital Foundry takes a look at how Ubisoft’s action-MMO The Division performs on both the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One with a graphics comparison video. Although The Division’s official editorial reviews were pushed back since Ubisoft didn’t provide press outlets with early access copies of the title, the fine folks over at Digital Foundry have at least provided an analysis of sorts by comparing the visual performance of the action-MMO on the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One....

One YouTuber breaks down The Division’s netcode, and the data he uncovers is more troubling news for the already frustrated playerbase in Ubisoft’s RPG/shooter hybrid. Multiplayer games like The Division often cater to very specific groups of players. There are the casual players who simply enjoy a good gameplay experience and never really delve too deeply into the game’s content or intricacies, and then there are the more enfranchised players who play as competitively as they can....

Ubisoft finally details Incursions, The Division’s version of raids, and also reveals that the game’s April update will add Supply Drops to the Dark Zone.

That’s because Ubisoft has finally detailed The Division’s big April 12th update, which will be adding a significant amount of content to the game....
