The year was 2003, and I was around ten years old. I was alone in the YMCA daycare center in Winder - a historic Georgia town with NASCAR shops, a bunch of fast food joints, and not much else. It was hard for me to get along with other kids at the time, so I almost always stuck to myself - reading Dragon Ball or counting my Yu-Gi-Oh! cards in the corner....
“There were definitely concerns,” Mass Effect 2 writer Brian Kindregan tells me. “There were people who were like, ‘I don’t shoot my gun at all?’ Like, no, you don’t. Those are valid concerns - maybe some players don’t want to go to a nightclub and pick up a hot person. In time, really working through the design and keeping it interesting and getting people excited about that concept was, to me, a real success in terms of how a team can move into making a unique and interesting mission....
Few scores in Hollywood history are as iconic as the ones composed by the legendary John Williams for the Star Wars saga. In fact, Williams’ compositions are as fundamental to the galaxy far, far away as George Lucas’ imagination and the writing of Joseph Campbell. Without his music, Star Wars would have never been a hit back in 1977. So it isn’t an exaggeration to say that film and television composer Kevin Kiner had some very big shoes to fill when he was tapped to create the score for The Clone Wars, an animated film that marked the start of a new era for the franchise in 2008, just three years after the release of the final prequel film....
This article is presented by eBay In A New Hope, Obi-Wan Kenobi describes the Force as an energy that surrounds and penetrates all living things, binding the galaxy together. But the venerable Jedi Master could just as easily have been talking about the power of Star Wars itself. The cultural impact of George Lucas’ creation is so vast that it created generations of fans and changed how Hollywood approached blockbuster filmmaking....
The Destiny 2: Beyond Light expansion has brought a lot of new story, weapons, and more to the game. Beyond Light is a massive reworking of visuals, old raids, and even champion mods, altering the game almost beyond recognition. Bungie has even added new Stasis subclasses to add a little variety. One of the new ways that players can upgrade their new subclasses is through Aspects and Fragments, but getting them can be a little unintuitive....

Our quick take HTC Desire 820 - 3.5 / 5 Design and build Hardware and performance Display Battery life Calling and sound quality Android KitKat and Sense 6.0 Cameras Price and opposition To recap HTC shows its strengths with great quality design and build. The refinement of the user interface is appreciated, as is the potential for advancement when Lollipop arrives. However, the large display lets the side down here in terms of quality and the cameras aren’t quite as strong as their megapixels might suggest....
There are two schools of thought when it comes to marketing a game. One requires the developer be patient and trust that the project they are working on is one that the market desires, that they will go absolutely bananas over once it is announced. The other, however, is a more community-based approach, whereby the project is allowed to evolve under the watchful eye of curious gamers, and makes several appearances at numerous press and trade events....
Immortals Fenyx Rising had a fairly loud build-up to its release in December last year, but has since quietly settled into the next-gen library. That is, until another crossover surfaced in-game – this time collaborating with Netflix’s Blood of Zeus. The limited-time crossover event will run until January 28, where you can indulge in the themed quest titled “A Tribute to Family.” The event will task you with defeating two mythical creatures “from another world," which will be available to play after completing the quest “Gods and Monsters....

With a title like Halloween Kills, maybe we shouldn’t be so surprised when the movie slays? Nevertheless, David Gordon Green’s hack and slash follow-up to 2018’s Halloween exceeded all expectations when it grossed an estimated $50.4 million this weekend. That number comes in ahead of even distributor Universal’s projections, which pegged the Michael Myers stabathon at opening around $40 million. This is of course good news for movie theaters and horror aficionados....
I’ve once again seen this comparison resurface recently. It seems that from time to time, Nintendo gets compared to the all-powerful monopoly company known as Disney. But why? It could be the case that peoples’ thoughts are that they relate both companies to their childhood. After all, tons of people can make the claim that they grew up playing Nintendo games and watching Disney films. There are iconic figures from each company that have been rooted into so many of us since we were children, such as Mickey Mouse and Mario....
Games are becoming more and more realistic and immersive as technology pushes forward. Through the introduction of the 3DTV technology and motion controllers, playing first person shooters has been edging closer and closer to literally throwing the player into a battlefield. As a look into what could possibly be the future of gaming, YouTube star Freddie W equips a rumble pack vest, PlayStation 3 backpack, a PlayStation Move Sharpshooter and a holographic headband to head into battle against the Resistance series’ Chimera....
It’s not often you get to see an elderly streamer in his element. But Apex Legends is bringing everyone out. GrandpaGaming is a former Navy diver, who served for 20 years and four months, and now enjoys retirement with his wife and spends most of his time gaming.

Supergiant Games has earned a positive reputation with a slate of stylish, isometric action titles like Bastion, Transistor, and Pyre. This week, its latest title, the hack-and-slash roguelike Hades, was finally released in full. If the general consensus that’s formed is any indication, this might be the best game yet in Supergiant’s ten-year history, as well as one of 2020’s top titles. Featuring a story heavily inspired by Greek mythology, Hades sets players in the role of the titular god’s son, Zagreus, as he attempts to escape his father’s realm and join the gods on Olympus....
Harmonix has been churning out music-based video games for nearly two decades. From early titles like Frequency and Amplitude; to the incredibly popular and then not popular at all Guitar Hero and Rock Band franchises; to their most recent title, Fuser. That game puts you in the role of a DJ who can take popular songs and create unique, interesting mash-ups. You then get to play these songs at massive, digital music festivals, which is a nice bit of escapism since those events currently don’t exist....
Harry Potter, the character, has undoubtedly become an icon for the ages. Like Bilbo and Frodo Baggins from The Lord of The Rings, his quest is a tale that generations of readers and viewers will be reading and watching over and over again in many forms for years to come, we’re sure. The iconic status he achieved in character form is largely in part to his perseverance and likeability … all instilled in him from author JK Rowling....
Instead of a new story chapter last week, Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery fans were given a limited-time side quest called Halloween Feast that gave them the chance to face off against the vicious Fenrir Greyback. This week, things are back to normal, as Jam City has added Year 5 Chapter 6 to the game. In Year 5 Chapter 6, Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery fans will attempt to learn more about the Marauder’s Map by talking with various Hogwarts ghosts in an attempt to gather information....
