Releasing just in time for Halloween, The Dark Pictures Anthology: Little Hope looks to bring Supermassive Games’ brand of interactive, cinematic horror to a new story and setting. Featuring the likes of Will Poulter and David Smith, it seems primed to be the studio’s spookiest games yet, tackling witch trials and other supernatural occurrences in the small town of Little Hope. Of course, to achieve the movie-quality cutscenes present in most Supermassive games, the team relies on advanced motion-capture to make the performances of its protagonists more believable....

Tomorrow Ubisoft is releasing update 1.4 for Tom Clancy’s The Division, broadly changing the third-person shooter’s balance to focus on end-game and progression. The Division’s 1.3 update, the premium Underground expansion, was a catalyst for significant change. In June, Underground was released, and in August The Division’s next two premium DLC projects were delayed into late 2016 and 2017. The issues brought to light in Underground forced developer Ubisoft Massive to reconsider many decisions, which leads us to now....

Judge me harshly if you will, but I admit without shame that of all the entries in The Exorcist franchise, John Boorman’s 1977 all-star Exorcist II: The Heretic is by far my favorite. Not the greatest or most coherent of the lot, no, but my favorite. In terms of sheer brain-melting horror, I dare you to cite any scene from any of the other entries that can touch the terrifying spectacle of Linda Blair tap dancing....

The following contains THE FLASH spoilers through Season 7, Episode 12. The Flash Season 7 Episode 12 It’s hard to know precisely how to feel about Cisco’s departure from Central City. After all, it seems that Valdes is more than open to returning for the occasional guest appearance, and it’s not like the show has given Cisco much to do in the past several seasons. He spent most of Season 6 on what felt like endless offscreen trips to Atlantis, and his (largely sweet but deadly dull) relationship with Kamilla has been his only notable character arc to speak of in recent years....

At a time when E3 looks to be on its last legs, The Game Awards has surprisingly become the industry’s biggest annual show. While that’s largely due to the often overwhelming number of reveals and announcements that happen during the show, quite a few people still tune in to see who will win the most prestigious awards in gaming. So far as that goes, the 2022 Game Awards may be the most difficult year to predict in the award show’s recent history....

Without a doubt, Naughty Dog’s gameplay footage reveal for the highly anticipated post-apocalyptic survival-horror sequel The Last of Us: Part 2 during Sony’s PlayStation E3 2018 press conference got many gamers geared up and excited to slip into the role of its protagonist, Ellie. While she will be the primary focus of the title, it seems as if there will be someone else tagging along for the adventure, as it has recently been confirmed that Ellie will have an AI companion....

Since its announcement back in December 2016, The Last of Us 2 has easily become one of the most highly-anticipated releases of this generation, with thousands of fans clamoring to get their hands on Ellie and Joel’s newest adventure. Recently, however, the game has hit a spate of bad luck, with significant story spoilers making their way online and ruining the title for a lot of fans who were eager to discover the next chapter of the now-iconic game series for themselves....

Do you remember playing A Link to the Past on the Super NES? If not, you missed out on a great experience in gaming! A Link to the Past was easily a highlight for all gamers when it was released in 1991. It has been over 25 years since A Link to the Past was released, and is still often regarded by gamers as one of the best Zelda games ever created....

In a recent interview, Star Trek writer Bryan Fuller reveals that the fan favorite two part episode of Voyager, “Year of Hell,” was initially planned to span over the course of an entire season. This has understandably excited and riled up fans of the series, as it was one of the most popular episodes.

It’ll not only see the return of Ewan McGregor’s Obi-Wan from the Prequel Trilogy but also Hayden Christensen, this time in the dreaded armor of Darth Vader. It will also introduce one particularly well-known Star Wars animated character to live action. Rupert Friend (The French Dispatch) plays the cruel Grand Inquisitor, leader of an order of Jedi hunters who work for Vader and the Empire....

The expansion will be the series’ fifth, although it is also Star Wars: The Old Republic’s first expansion in close to a year after a development cycle that saw three come out in 2014....

Kylo Ren is one of the most divisive characters in all of Star Wars. When at his best, he’s a fantastic villain, but his lows make fans wonder how the First Order can be so threatening when led by a man with the temper of a 5-year-old. Luckily for all those who’ve been thinking Kylo Ren could use some therapy, YouTube offers some psychoanalytic insight into just what makes Ben Solo tick....

EA removed microtransactions from Star Wars Battlefront 2 following the outcry over the game’s progression system, as many people felt that the game is “pay to win.” But although that removal was meant to be temporary, new comments from EA suggest that it could end up being permanent. Speaking during the 37th Nasdaq Investor Conference earlier this week, EA’s chief financial officer Blake Jorgensen explains that the company dropped Star Wars Battlefront 2’s microtransactions as an “opportunity to work on the progression system inside the game....

When Star Wars Battlefront launched in 2015, one of the biggest criticisms leveled at the reboot was its lack of a single-player campaign. The inclusion of such a mode was one of the first things that EA announced about Star Wars Battlefront 2 – and the finished product should please fans a great deal. Earlier this month, Game Rant was invited to EA’s office in New York City to play through the first three missions of the Star Wars Battlefront 2 campaign....

Remember George Lucas? He’s back… in figure form! Yes, the filmmaking visionary who, with some help, conceived a ubiquitously-dominant film franchise, is set to be immortalized in plastic via the practice that put the Star Wars merchandising machine on the map. Indeed, Hasbro Toys has revealed a new George Lucas rendition, this one arriving in the 6” scaled Black Series line. While the gravity of such a tribute might be mitigated by the fact that it’s his fourth figure, this particular release commemorates one of his most crucial, pre-Star Wars, achievements: the 50th anniversary of Lucasfilm....

This article contains Superman & Lois episode 7 spoilers. Superman & Lois Episode 7 It took seven episodes, but we’ve finally learned the secrets of the mysterious stranger who up until now has only been known as “Captain Luthor.” Since the first episode of Superman & Lois aired back in February, fans (and journalists) have been buzzing about the identity of the man under the armor who has been giving Superman a hard time, and lately, spending a lot of time with Lois Lane....

This Swamp Thing review contains spoilers. After officially introducing the concept of The Green, Swamp Thing takes another step forward in building its mythology, which happens to align closely with the comics, by introducing The Rot, aka The Black. Moreover, Alec Holland’s powers continue to grow. This is all a good thing since Marais is tearing itself apart. I applaud this series for not holding back with Swamp Thing’s abilities. I can see a version of the show where things are painfully reserved, but not only is our hero using hallucinogenic spores to appear human, he’s growing fruit, summoning plants from the other side of the world, and even using the flora in Abby’s body to combat The Rot infection....
