A pair of Reddit users use math and map overlays to determine the full size of the map in The Division, as well as how much space the Dark Zone encompasses. Some players have expressed concerns over Tom Clancy’s The Division after playing the game’s recent closed beta. Chief among those concerns is worry that the game’s map size will not be very large and have a general lack of content....
The Marvel Cinematic Universe has become one of the most valuable storytelling properties in the world and it’s done so not always by betting on the most popular characters. This was certainly the case with Iron Man, the MCU’s first proper installment, which centered what was widely considered to be second-tier Marvel character at the time. In his book The Big Picture: The Fight for the Future of Movies (via ScreenRant), film historian Ben Fritz explains that Marvel originally intended to open the MCU with Captain American, but that plans changed when focus groups of children chose Iron Man as the character with the coolest abilities and weapons, and therefore the toy they would most like to play with....

Did you watch the Horizon Forbidden West gameplay debut yesterday? What did you think? I reckon the new traversal systems looked great, while the more refined combat HUD will likely open the whole experience up for loads of new players who missed the boat with Zero Dawn. Ultimately, though, what we saw was just a 14-minute curated demo, which isn’t necessarily indicative of the 40-hour game it’s designed to be a shiny marketing tool for....
Monster Hunter World introduced a rather clever way for players to keep engaging with its content. Instead of simply throwing greater numbers at hunters, tougher variants of creatures exist that require better gear. These are referred to as Tempered and Arch-Tempered, with the latter being the toughest challenge available. With Iceborne now being half a year old, obviously some of its unique monsters needed to get the Arch-Tempered treatment. That’s where the latest update comes in, adding a different variant of late-game beast Namielle....
In Ubisoft’s new Immortals Fenyx Rising, exploration is one of the best features the game has to offer. The Golden Isle is a stunning world, filled with magical creatures and mythical relics, and players get thrown into it nearly from the beginning. Just as Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild began with the player free to roam and figure it out, so too does Immortals, though in a bit more of a hand-holding way....
They say there’s nothing new under the sun and that Hollywood is bereft of fresh ideas. But sometimes truly innovative films are unfairly accused of being derivative just because they put a new twist on an age old concept. Such is the case with Christopher Nolan’s 2010 film Inception, which is receiving fresh scrutiny now that it’s streaming on Netflix for longtime fans as well as those who missed it in theaters the first time around....

Grand Theft Auto 5 is a massive, chaotic playground where the limit is basically player’s imagination. Players can fly around Los Santos as Goku, shoot animals and vehicles with different guns, and a number of other things that can only be done with mods in GTA 5.

It is hard to accurately convey the importance of the Halo series to the video game industry, especially to those unfamiliar with the game’s humble beginnings as a fresh first-person shooter IP for Microsoft’s Xbox console. What started as a promising release for an equally intriguing system quickly became the flagship series for Microsoft’s Xbox, and it isn’t hyperbole to suggest that the iconic Master Chief redefined the way developers approached first-person shooters and online multiplayer, especially on consoles....

Ready for another streaming service? Yeah, no, me either. It’s bad! But it’s the world we’re living in. Anyway, the first thought that usually comes to my mind when one of these things launches is this: “y’all got any anime?” Turns out, HBO Max’s answer to that is a resounding “yes.” In fact, it’s pretty shocking that the service got some of the picks they did. There’s a good smattering of mega-hits, unsung gems from recent years, and the motherlode of Studio Ghibli....
