While this is definitely a lofty goal, the company’s co-founder, CEO, and product architect, Elon Musk, definitely believes it can be achieved, and seems to have decided that a little fun can be had in the process....

Games can be stressful at times, but for good reasons. A genre that embodies that stress and turns it into fun gameplay is survival horror games.

In 2020, there haven’t been too many games in the genre. Many of the games that perfectly fit under the survival horror umbrella haven’t garnered too much attention....

The Fire-type is usually known as one of the strongest types in Pokemon for good reason. It has five resistances, the second-most out of any type, and an array of both physical and special attacking moves. However, it’s best used when paired with another type. Some of the best Fire-type Pokemon are dual-typed such as Blaziken, Heatran, and Volcarona (mainly due to their extra STAB options). But what about those Fire-types without a secondary typing?...

CD Projekt Red’s Cyberpunk 2077 releases in September with high expectations, as many gamers expect it to carry on CD Projekt Red’s Witcher 3 legacy in establishing the next major landmark in immersive open world role-playing games. But aside from breathtaking visuals and a game world filled with life, Cyberpunk 2077’s most worthy attribute may be in its DLC content, which could certainly be full new packages in caliber, if they are indeed similar to The Witcher 3’s DLC content...

Well, The Flash sure didn’t have it easy during its sixth season. While it was easily the show’s strongest batch of episodes since season three (and one of its best ever), it had to deal with being split right down the middle by Crisis on Infinite Earths, the most ambitious TV crossover ever attempted, and one that has been central to the mythology of the show and the journey of Barry Allen from its very first episode....

The Grand Theft Auto series is one of Rockstar’s best series. The characters, the detailed worlds, and the iconic missions in each game help help keep the franchise iconic. The protagonists of each game add a lot to the series, in particular. With each game taking place in a different decade and location, each protagonist differs from the last. Players can play as a protagonist trying to turn their life around, as a criminal getting deeper in trouble, and even as a character they created themselves....

Yes, we’re already looking forward to Star Trek: Discovery Season 4. Season 3 saw the show go where no Star Trek has gone before – literally. Flung almost a thousand years into the future after saving all sentient life as we know it, Michael Burnham and her crewmates had to navigate a new and alien reality that bore little resemblance to the one they left behind. Yet, the decision to send Discovery to the future is possibly the best decision the series has ever made, giving the show a much-needed narrative reset that cut ties to things like Klingon wars and The Original Series legacy characters and sends it off to blaze its own path, unencumbered by the strings of existing canon....

Star Wars has always been popular, but the franchise is currently enjoying a renewed period of popularity.

Mando’s charge has leaped off the screen to be emblazoned on all manner of merchandise, from t-shirts to purses to chew toys....

When plans for Nintendo and Universal Studios Japan to build what is hopefully the first of many Super Nintendo World theme parks were announced, real life Mario Kart was the first thought that popped into many people’s heads. As it turns out Universal was quite keen in capturing Nintendo’s video game magic in just the right way. Though Super Nintendo World already went through a soft opening process in early February due to what was at the time a worsening situation for Japan in the midst of the pandemic, Mario is now completely open for business this week....

This SUPERGIRL article contains spoilers for Season 6, Episode 10, “Still I Rise.” Supergirl Season 6 Episode 10 This episode felt simultaneously packed and like it barely moved along. Suddenly Nia, Nyxly and Orlando’s stories were all off to the races at once, and with Supergirl’s journey using her public platform as the main thread, there’s still so much left to cover.
