There have been many attempts to make movies and TV shows out of fighting games, and the Tekken series is no exception. To date there have been four movies based on the popular franchise, both animated and live action. Since Namco recently announced the latest fighter to enter the fray in Tekken 7, it seems like the perfect time to go over the Tekken films and figure out which one is the best....
Earlier this year, Niantic added a large number of bonuses to Pokemon GO. Most of those bonuses went away. Covid-19 did not. Back in March, Niantic made a bunch of changes to Pokemon GO that helped alleviate some of the grind and, more specifically, cut back on the amount of time people needed to spend outdoors in order to play and progress in the game. While many expected Pokemon GO would take a big hit during the 2020 lockdown, the game actually flourished thanks to a variety of changes that made the game far more accessible and welcoming....
If there’s been one constant when it comes to Grand Theft Auto games over the last decade or so, it’s been the amazing selection of songs rotating through the in-game radios. Each city has its own variety of radio stations with unique tracks ranging from oldies to hip hop to classic rock; and sometimes those stations are more memorable and iconic than the game’s plot. Unfortunately, the track list for Grand Theft Auto 4 is about to get a big shake up....
Rockstar as a developer stands as one of the most influential within the industry, with nearly two decades of success with projects like Grand Theft Auto 5, which continues to break sales records. Yet, the company finds itself going through a considerable shift as it begins the new decade. Veteran writer, actor, and producer Lazlow Jones has left Rockstar after nearly 20 years at the company. The news came from Jones’ LinkedIn profile, which notes that the writer and producer left Rockstar in April....
The new survival game Grounded from Obsidian Entertainment is very different from the other games they’ve previously released, and is a unique twist on the genre in many ways. A few things the game does have in common with many of its contemporaries, though, are the tools and a crafting system. Even in its early access state, there are dozens of resources scattered around the yard for you and your miniaturized friends to discover and collect as resources for tools....
GTA Online’s new Cayo Perico Heist offers lucrative rewards to players who complete all of its missions.

Luckily, one prominent GTA Online player has discovered an exploit that brings Pegasus vehicles to the island for faster scouting. The Cayo Perico Heist revolves around stealing from a drug lord known as El Rubio, who has taken up residence on the Caribbean island....

Not much has been revealed yet for 343 Industries’ upcoming Halo Infinite, likely due to marketing strategies to use Microsoft’s flagship gaming franchise to boost the next Xbox Series X event. However, a new toy set may hint at some potentially huge implications for the story and the fate of a previously pivotal character within the recent series. It should be noted that much of what fans have assumed to be a huge reveal is mostly speculation at this point, as 343 Industries has not yet confirmed how this new revelation relates to Halo Infinite....
The “Defense Point Showdown” toy set has allegedly revealed the death of a major character known from Halo 5: Guardians.

Microsoft officially announced the next downloadable expansion pack for Halo Wars 2 during its Daily Show at E3 2017, and it certainly introduces a significant change to gameplay. Entitled Awakening the Nightmare, the upcoming Halo Wars 2 expansion will not only put players in the shoes of The Banished, but also re-introduces the infamous and oft-requested Flood back into the fold. The downloadable content will also introduce two new multiplayer maps, complimented by a duo of new multiplayer leaders....

Back in the early 2000s the best news many teenagers could have gotten was that they clinched a part to play a Harry Potter character in the hyper successful movie franchise that kicked off at the start of the century. For actor Katie Leung, getting to play Cho Chang was, at times, as much of a nightmare as it was a dream. Leung got the coveted role of being Harry Potter’s first crush when she was only 16, after auditioning for the part in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, which would lead her to appear in a total of four of the series’ films....
It’s one of the most famous anime films of all time: Hayao Miyazaki’s Spirited Away is not only a classic film from the legendary Studio Ghibli, but it was also the highest-grossing Japanese film of all time worldwide until its box office record was beaten by Demon Slayer. As an Academy award-winning film, and possibly one of the greatest animated films ever made, the movie has a lasting legacy, one that makes it a prime opportunity for re-interpretation....
Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice has been on my radar for quite a while. I finally got around to playing it over the weekend and I’ve never been more instantly hooked by a game. It’s a dark descent into both Norse folklore and mental illness, and it handles the latter brilliantly. I’ve dealt with mental illness a lot in my personal life, and have been working for a mental health charity seasonally for about eight years, so I’m glad Ninja Theory consulted professionals and people with actual mental illnesses to ensure it represented lead character Senua’s psychosis honestly....
YouTube has become a profitable site for any looking to break into the Let’s Play community with live commentary of their game-playing exploits. In fact, a handful of these gamers, including Felix Kjellberg – who goes by PewDiePie on YouTube – rake in millions of dollars a year from their videos on YouTube. Video game YouTube videos have become so popular, the media site pulled together a list of the top 10 most popular games viewers like to watch on YouTube....
It’s been a long wait for Bloober Team’s The Medium. This psychological horror game was originally announced all the way back in 2012, though the studio ultimately choose to wait for more advanced technology in order to fully realize its vision. At one point, The Medium was set to launch in December and become one of the first console exclusives for the Xbox Series X/S, though the game was delayed into January to receive more polish and avoid Cyberpunk 2077....
Today, Bungie kicked off the highly anticipated return of the Trials of Osiris in Destiny 2. The Trials are a 3v3 mode in Destiny 2 pitting Guardian against Guardian. It’s also Destiny 2’s most competitive multiplayer mode, with teams attempting to win as many times as possible before losing 3 times. The greatest reward, however, is earning an impressive 9 victories with zero losses. This feat unlocks access to the mysterious Lighthouse location – and it’s already been attained....
When Rock Band 4 was officially announced in March, fans were ecstatic. After all, they’ve been waiting for five years for a brand new Rock Band game. Since that initial announcement, the news has gotten better, too, as developer Harmonix revealed that the game will have an ‘RPG’ style career mode, in which players will be able to make detailed choices about their virtual rockers’ careers. However, the news hasn’t been great for PC gamers....
It turns out you get a little slap on the wrist if you try regift items in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Well, perhaps that’s still a bit of an exaggeration - at the very least, you get called out for your attempt at sneakiness. As you should be, you scallywag. In the kind of style you’d expect from our beloved Animal Crossing, you receive a nice little passive aggressive message when you attempt to gift a thing back to the villager who gifted it to you in the first place....
With its theme parks, TV series, video games, and films, Disney is one of the most famous brands on the planet. They’ve grown so large that the conglomerate now owns the rights to the Marvel Universe and Lucasfilm, which is the Star Wars company. You may have mixed feelings about that scenario, but you can’t deny the talent of the employees at Disney. Zootopia was the bomb, and Moana was a really incredible movie no matter which way you look at it....
