In the age of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and impressive DC Comics animated films, it’s safe to say the popularity of superheroes remains incredibly high. In the last decade, the video game industry has seen superheroes evolve. They went from the subject of AA licensed titles to some of the most impressive and critically-acclaimed AAA titles the medium has to offer. Metacritic is the home of video game review aggregation, so it’s time we take a look at what the 10 best superhero games are of all time according to the ratings giant....
While Marvel’s Avengers has received mixed reactions from fans and critics so far in its young lifespan, one thing most people can agree on is that developer Crystal Dynamics nailed the in-game combat. Barreling through crowds of enemies as the Hulk hasn’t felt this good since 2005, and soaring through the air firing rockets as Iron Man scratches that itch that Bioware whiffed at with Anthem. Crystal Dynamics made every character and weapon feel fun to use in Avengers, but some weapons have proven to be stronger than others....
People have called Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2, a remake of the original two games in the series, a perfect remake. As we are living in the age of remakes, it has got players fever dreaming about what could be remade next. But one of the reasons why people consider THPS 1+2 a perfect remake is because it really doesn’t change many things about the original game. For the most part, the development team has just spruced things up a little, and made the look of the game aesthetically pleasing....
Campaign season is truly in full swing for the 2020 election, meaning it’s time for the two front runners to start winning every vote they can from every possible demographic.

The following contains The Flash spoilers The Flash Season 8 Episode 15 One of the biggest overarching mysteries of The Flash season 8 has been the question of what, exactly, is going on with Iris West-Allen. Since developing a mysterious time sickness in season 7, she’s been frequently experiencing lost time, suffering debilitating headaches, and randomly making objects—and sometimes people!—disappear, with little to no consistency or logic. At the end of last week’s episode, Iris herself vanished, leaving Barry and the rest of Team Flash desperate to track her down, a search that involves a dangerous trip into the Still Force itself and results in one of the show’s trippiest hours to date, at least visually speaking....
When one talks about some of the greatest games ever made, then it’s inevitable that The Last Of Us would be a part of this conversation. The fact of the matter is that Naughty Dog had created a masterpiece that transcended everything they’d ever developed up to that point, with this title further bolstering the PlayStation as the superior gaming experience by a country mile. However, Naughty Dog wasn’t done yet with their magnum opus....
Details surrounding The Last of Us Part II are still pretty fuzzy. Although we’ve known about the game for well over a year now, we don’t have many concrete specifics involving the story, and we have yet to hear anything concerning the game’s release date. While it seems to be fairly close to release, all fans can do at the moment is speculate and wonder. We’re also not quite sure what is going on with the multiplayer side of things....
In the latest wave of video game nominations, The Last of Us Part 2 once again sweeps the board and breaks yet another industry record.

When it was first released, The Last of Us Part 2 immediately began breaking records by becoming the fastest ever selling PlayStation exclusive....
This Star Wars: The Mandalorian article contains spoilers. The assassin introduced in The Mandalorian season 1 episode “The Gunslinger” seemed like an exciting new character to add to the show’s noteworthy lineup of rogues…until she was unceremoniously killed off. Fennec Shand (Ming-Na Wen) was a masterful sharpshooter, known for her skills with a sniper rifle and as one of the most dangerous assassins in the galaxy, so it seemed like a waste that she was set up as a one-off character....
The Pokedex is filled with crazy Pokemon entries that nobody would expect from such a colorful and fun world. The bright world of Pikachu, everyone’s favorite electric mouse, is home to some dark Pokemon that aren’t afraid to devour a few souls or steal some children. It’s hard to believe that the creators of something people hold so dear would make some Pokemon so dark, but it definitely adds to the depth of the world....
Star Wars: Squadrons has largely had a successful first two weeks on the market, with critics leaving strong reviews and fans seeming pretty excited to jump into the game’s series of insanely detailed Star Wars ships. It managed to pull in a respectable 79 on Metacritic at release, with publications praising its fun gameplay and well-implemented VR mode.

This Star Wars: The Bad Batch review contains spoilers. Star Wars: The Bad Batch Episode 7 The found family is strong with this one. And all it took was bringing in an outsider. After a brief, exciting introduction, “Battle Scars,” written by Jennifer Corbett and directed by Saul Ruiz, gets right to the point. The Bad Batch still have their inhibitor chips, and the clock on Wrecker’s is ticking. Whenever he gets stressed out — including by the thought of the chip itself — he gets closer to going Order 66 on his “traitor” friends....
Following in the footsteps of The Mandalorian is a new Star Wars series titled Andor, starring Diego Luna as the titular rebel.

According to Discussing Film, Ben Caron and Susanna White have been hired to direct some of the Andor episodes....
Star Wars is experiencing a serious resurgence in popularity with Star Wars: Episode VII prepares to his theaters in December, and EA’s Star Wars Battlefront reboot launches about a month before that. As a result, it makes sense that, with the growth in popularity, Star Wars fans are looking for ways to boost their own creations among gamers. One of these creations is a Star Wars virtual reality game currently in development from movie director Rob McLellan, VFX professional Craig Stiff, and game studio HammerheadVR....
I’ve always been told it’s wrong to judge something by your first impression, but I’ve also been told it’s impossible to make a second one. When it comes to Stranger of Paradise Final Fantasy Origin, Tetsuya Nomura’s latest offering was labelled as meme material within seconds as Eminem vowed to kill Chaos alongside a pink-haired twink and a buff dude who looks woefully out of place in such a cliche JRPG setting....

According to a new study from Compare My Mobile, a gadget recycling comparison website and a part of Decision Tech Ltd., Sony ranks worst for resale value of mobile devices, while Apple ranks best by a wide margin. In an analysis of six brands and several models, Apple iPhones appear to best hold their residual value, depreciating only 48....
This Superman & Lois review contains spoilers. Superman and Lois Episode 2 There was a time, long ago, when big genre TV shows would get two hour premieres. Not the kind of two hour premiere that Superman & Lois had, where an episode that was actually a full hour without commercials got stretched out over a longer time slot with additional commercial breaks and a behind-the-scenes special. I mean a genuine 90 minute pilot that sat in a two hour timeslot....
