This article is filled with Stranger Things season 4 spoilers! We have a spoiler free review here. To help you avoid spoilers, we’ve separated this guide by episode. Are you the type of Stranger Things viewer who likes to spot things in the background of each shot, like movie posters or toys that evoke nostalgia for the ’80s? The production designer and others behind the scenes of the much-beloved Netflix series take great pains to make each prop historically accurate, and the writers make sure that any reference uttered by the characters is something someone from that decade would actually say....

This article consists of nothing but Suicide Squad movie spoilers. The Suicide Squad movie is here! DC’s answer to The Dirty Dozen is also an effective shortcut to building the kind of massive shared universe that it took Marvel Studios almost five years to get to. And while the critical reception to Suicide Squad hasn’t exactly been the warmest, it definitely gets its job done in terms of making the newly minted DC movie universe feel like a larger entity than three movies might ordinarily suggest....

An RPG series that debuted on the Nintendo Switch is making an appearance in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, as the next in-game event is bringing in characters from Octopath Traveler as Spirits. Octopath Traveler is a 2D JRPG developed by Square Enix, which was originally released for the Nintendo Switch in 2018, before moving to Steam in 2019 and Google Stadia in 2020. The name Octopath Traveler comes from the eight different playable characters in the game....

Bandai Namco has released a new trailer for Tales of Arise, a forthcoming RPG for Microsoft Windows, PS4 and Xbox One. More information on the game, which was originally due to be released last year but was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, will be unveiled this spring. In its description of the game, Bandai Namco says, “On the planet Dahna, reverence has always been given to Rena, the planet in the sky, as a land of the righteous and divine....

The dawn of computer-generated effects spelled bad news for action cinema at the turn of the 21st century. James Bond surfed on a CG tidal wave in Die Another Day, while John McClane jumped a CG police car into a CG helicopter to create a CG explosion in Live Free or Die Hard. But the action movies of the last two decades haven’t been all bad. In fact, in the past few years, action fans have been treated to some of the genre’s all-time greatest entries....

In the course of its first six seasons, Bob’s Burgers has gone from under-the-radar cult hit to full-fledged phenonemon (want proof? Just hit up any Halloween party this year and see how many folks are dressed up as the Belchers). There’s a very simple reason for this: Animated or not, the Belchers are one of the most realistic families ever depicted on screen. They are flawed, driven by their own weird obsessions — be it Jimmy Jr....

For more than half a century, the James Bond movies have been among the most anticipated blockbusters out there. The pure escapism of following a gentleman spy across the most exotic corners of the world to take down megalomaniacs has turned 007 into a global phenomenon. There are some entries in the Bond franchise that rank among the greatest action movies ever made. Unfortunately, there are also some – from the CGI-laden Brosnan efforts to the latter-day Roger Moore movies of the ‘80s – that rank among the worst....

Ion Maiden may need to change its name, as a lawsuit has been filed by the band called Iron Maiden, who believe that it infringes upon their trademark. Ion Maiden is an upcoming 2.5d first-person shooter from 3D Realms, which is intended to evoke Duke Nukem 3D, right down to the catchphrase-spewing protagonist. The game is intended to be a prequel to another game by 3D Realms called Bombshell. Ion Maiden is currently in early access with a full release planned for this year....

It would be tough to argue that the Jedi in 2017’s Star Wars Battlefront II are as laser-proof as their 2005-era predecessors, but there’s no denying that coming face-to-face with them in the game is truly frightening. Between their Force powers, lightsabers and health regeneration from kills, they can be a real pain to take down. In this context, “Jedi” refers to all lightsaber-wielders, light side and dark (and perhaps the Emperor too)....

Back in the mists of time, circa 2012 to be exact, there was a studio called 20th Century Fox that owned the rights to a considerable number of Marvel Comics characters such as the X-Men and the Fantastic Four. One of the Marvel superheroes Fox also owned was Daredevil, a.k.a. blind lawyer Matt Murdock, who donned a demonic costume at night and terrorized the unsavory denizens of New York’s Hell’s Kitchen neighborhood with his enhanced other senses and ferocious fighting techniques....

Almost exactly a year after Tom Clancy’s The Division launched worldwide, the final expansion for the game is due to release for gamers everywhere on February 28 alongside the free 1.6 content update. The final expansion for The Division will release concurrently across all platforms, introducing a new incursion called Stolen Signal, an objective-based PVP game mode called Last Stand, and a brand new Dark Zone location simply called the north expansion....

The Elder Scrolls Online is easily one of the most anticipated games of the year. Fans of The Elder Scrolls series were dismayed on multiple accounts when they were told that neither Oblivion or Skyrim would have multiplayer content. With more and more franchises on the market having some form of multiplayer and/or social features included, some fans were left with holes in their heart. Holes that could only be filled by exploring the lands of Tamriel with their real-life friends....

The Evil Within 2 took the psychological and body horror of the first game and then cranked it up to an 11. Setting the story in the semi-open world of Union, players take up the role of Sebastian Castellanos. He must unravel the mystery of this mental mindscape’s decay and rescue his daughter. But the benefit of a more open-world style of gameplay means plenty of side missions were added, giving this warped landscape history and vibrancy....

It feels as if PlayStation and Xbox are playing chicken when it comes to revealing new details about their respective next-gen consoles. Mainly when it comes to price points, but also other elements. Despite both companies claiming each of its consoles will be released before the end of the year, potential players are still unable to preorder games. As for what else potential PS5 owners can expect to play on the console during its early days, not much is known as that reveal has been postponed to a later date....

The Last of Us 2 is one of the highest-rated and best-selling games of the year. However, it has not been without its controversies, with some fans upset over how things went down during The Last of Us 2’s plot, while Naughty Dog has been criticized for utilizing crunch during the game’s development. Despite these controversies, The Last of Us 2 swept The Game Awards 2020, winning big awards including Game of the Year....

Team Ico uses Tokyo Game Show 2016 to show off gameplay for its forthcoming title The Last Guardian, and roughly 18 minutes of the footage emerges online. Following the recent release of The Last Guardian’s GameStop Expo 2016 trailer, Team Ico has decided that fans who have been eagerly anticipating the game deserve to see some more actual gameplay footage from the forthcoming release. To do so, the studio made good on the promising tease from co-developer genDESIGN earlier this year and debuted about 18 minutes of a recorded demo at Tokyo Game show 2016, with the footage making its way online thanks to the Japanese media outlet Famitsu....

So far, this year likely hasn’t gone to plan the way Sony and Naughty Dog originally pictured it. The road for The Last of Us 2 has been a long one marked with numerous struggles between multiple delays and a damaging report indicating the tough working conditions at the studio. Sony made the tough decision to indefinitely delay the game beyond it’s Spring 2020 release as well as refunding digital pre-orders, leaving many fans wondering what’s going on....

This review is spoiler-free for The Man in the High Castle season 3. One of the more interesting storylines from last season surrounded Trade Minister Tagomi (Cary-Hiroyuke Tagawa) and his discovery of the ability to cross between worlds and visit with a daughter-in-law version of Juliana Crain (Alexa Davalos), but there was little connection between his story and what was going on back in his own version of history. This season of The Man in the High Castle does an admirable job of jumping into the idea of alternate realities almost immediately....

Today, the most recent installment of the online series known as The Star Wars Show officially revealed an image teasing the inclusion of a playable map from Naboo in the multiplayer mode within DICE and Electronic Arts’ forthcoming science fiction shooter Star Wars Battlefront 2. Although the picture doesn’t show an idea of the map at the ground level so as to give fans an idea of how it can be navigated, it does offer beautiful glimpse at the planet and the immediate area’s landscape from a skyline view....

Star Wars Battlefront 2 kicked off its The Last Jedi season of content in December, introducing several pieces of content based on the new movie.

Star Wars Battlefront 2 update version 1.1 has now been rolled out to players, and it introduces a slew of new gameplay features to the game....
