Spoilers ahead for Star Trek: Discovery Season 2, Episode 14, “Such Sweet Sorrow, Part 2.” The emotional and action-packed Star Trek: Discovery Season 2 finale is full of plenty of obvious Easter eggs and references to all versions of the Star Trek canon. Of course, if you’ve seen the episode, you noticed that certain someone shaved their beard, and is wearing a very familiar blue uniform. But, that’s the obvious stuff!...
EA has had a string of bad luck these past couple weeks all stemming from its use of loot boxes and microtransactions. While the company is in the midst of dealing with the fresh EA Sports UFC 3 controversy, Star Wars Battlefront 2 appears to have started the long process of rebuilding fan trust by fixing a number of critical issues. A new update for the game aims to tackle the game’s stingy economy and progression system with the goal of improving the overall experience for players....
This Star Wars article contains spoilers for The Bad Batch. Eleven movies later, Revenge of the Sith remains the darkest chapter in the Star Wars film saga: the Jedi are all but decimated, the Dark Lord of the Sith becomes Emperor of the galaxy, Anakin Skywalker is transformed into an evil cyborg monstrosity named Darth Vader, and Luke and Leia are orphaned after Padme’s death. Back in 2005, fans already knew most of these things were coming....
Virtual reality gaming got a huge boost this year with the release of Half-Life: Alyx, the first new Half-Life game in over a decade and an impressive example of VR game design. With excitement over the game as high as it was, it’s no surprise that it led to a dramatic increase in the number of Steam VR users when it came out. However, it looks like that growth has proven unsustainable....
During an appearance on the Happy, Sad, Confused podcast, director Steven Soderbergh announced that he and Contagion screenwriter Scott Z Burns will be collaborating on a new film that will be a “philosophical” sequel to their 2011 movie, exploring similar territory in a different context. Soderbergh describes Contagion and the unnamed new film as paired, “but very different hair colors,” stating that he and Burns had been discussing what the next iteration of a Contagion-type story would be....
Story of Seasons: Friends of Mineral Town is set to release in a couple of days and takesplayers back to the charming and relaxed community of Mineral Town. To the uninitiated, Story of Seasons: Friends of Mineral Town is a remake of the 2003 Harvest Moon game with the same subtitle, and while the remake introduces many changes and improvements, it could have borrowed some key features from another game in the same vein, Animal Crossing: New Horizons....

It’s the announcement Taskmaster fans have been waiting for – who will be occupying the five (socially distanced this time around) chairs on stage alongside Greg Davies and Alex Horne for series 10. Now confirmed, the quintet facing the silliest and funniest challenges on television will be: Daisy May Cooper The co-creator and star of the BBC’s excellent rural mockumentary This Country, which concluded with series three earlier this year. Cooper is also soon to appear alongside previous Taskmaster contestant and official Task Consultant Tim Key in new BBC comedy The Witchfinder....
The Strange Scraps have been assembled and as trainers probably figured out for themselves, balloons are at the heart of Team GO Rocket’s evil plans. July is a pretty packed month for Pokémon GO, and with good reason. Not only does it mark the fourth anniversary of the game’s launch, but it will also play host to GO Fest 2020. Between timed research, spotlight hours, and the arrival of Kyurem, there is an awful lot to keep trainers busy this month....
This THE 100 review contains spoilers The 100 Season 7 Episode 13 Is Bellamy Blake really dead this time? It feels more accurate to say that Disciple Blake is dead. Bellamy Blake never made it back from that other planet. And in a way, Bellamy Blake never made it out of season 6. If The 100 is viewed as Clarke Griffin’s story – it’s easy to, considering she gets the narration, opened the show, and is one of a dwindling number of characters to appear in every episode – then Bellamy’s death is a gutting blow, but a strategic choice, from storytelling point of view....
The Grand Theft Auto V campaign is one of the greatest campaigns in the history of video games. We are taken on an impressive and expansive tour of Los Santos while being given the option to take a day off and wander the hills, jump into a dramatic race, or go on a variety of crazy side-quests. While the action and visuals are incredible, at its heart is a selection of incredible characters....
The PlayStation 3 had some of the best games ever released in a generation. Titles like The Last of Us, Uncharted, Demon’s Souls, and even the Yakuza series helped cement the PS3’s legacy as one of the most successful consoles of all time. The console had a bit of a slow start when it was first released, but it was the quality of the system’s games that eventually put its sales on par with that of the Xbox 360....
The irradiated wastes of the Fallout series make for some of the most memorable and interesting open-world experiences in gaming. Players have been drawn to the dusty plains, the ruins of once great cities, and the ghoulish bases. While some of these locations are fun and engaging with a wealth of lore, others are little more than shacks or the rotted remains of houses. Here are some of the best and worst each Fallout game has to offer in terms of places to explore....
Every year we talk about what a challenging year the real world had, and how great the comics were in response, so this year we thought we’d try something different. The comics were lousy! Just kidding, the comics were great, but it’s certainly something to pair this slate of comics with the tiny glimmers of hope the real world started to let peek through in 2022. And this is a truly great slate of books, too....
Black Ops Cold War arrives a day after the PlayStation 5 hits store shelves, which seems as clear an indicator that Activision considers the next member of the Call of Duty franchise to be a next-gen game. And not just for consoles, either. Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War’s PC system requirements are targeting some pretty high-end systems–so high-end that most of us can’t even meet them. Activision updated the Black Ops Cold War website with its launch trailer today, showcasing all the new technologies that will be in the game....
The next chapter of The Dark Pictures Anthology - Little Hope - comes out this Friday, just in time for Halloween. The Supermassive Games and Bandai Namco series succeeds Man of Medan, released last August. Little Hope is inspired by films like The Witch, Hellraiser, It Follows, The Omen, and Season of the Witch. A new trailer released for the game this week showcases a new cast of characters with British actor Will Poulter in the lead role....
With the release of The Forever Purge—the fifth in the eerily prescient dystopian horror series—upon us, Den of Geek had a chance to speak with Jason Blum, the producer and Blumhouse Productions president. In addition to discussing the future of the Purge franchise (more on that later this week), we also had the chance to query the producer about the many other genre projects always percolating under his banner. One of those is a The Exorcist sequel, which Blum is developing with director David Gordon Green....
Following a leak of massive proportions detailing a ton of story elements in The Last of Us 2, the game has finally gone gold and will be ready to ship out to fans shortly. In response to the leaks, director Neil Druckmann once again reassures players that nothing compares to the experience of actually playing the game. The Last of Us 2 leaks have caused major controversy, with many decrying the game as terrible based solely on what they’ve read online about it....
Taking a fairly respectable seven or eight hours to complete, Bloober Team’s new title, The Medium, is a game that is well worth investigating even for people without Game Pass. Even though The Medium is fairly short by modern standards, it doesn’t feel like the game ends too soon. Nearly every plot question that is presented to the player is answered by the conclusion of the game. That being said, there is always something more to do in a video game after completion whether it be simply seeing how quickly someone can finish the game again or by taking the time to unlock every achievement....
Are you feeling salty that you can’t seem to find a PS5 or Xbox Series X left in stock anywhere on the planet? Well, if you have a spare $80,000 lying around, then Elon Musk and co. have you covered, thanks to their newly-announced redesigned Model S Tesla sports car. According to these folks, you can expect the Model S to let you play a bit of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt on one of the car’s fancy 2200x1300 resolution screens, all whilst going from 0 to 60 miles per hour in under two seconds....
