Holy restless legs, Batman, your new movie is going to have the same length as The Godfather! That’s at least what appears to be the case for The Batman, which has been recorded by IMDb to have a running time of two hours and 55 minutes—just three minutes shorter than Peter Jackson’s theatrical cut of The Fellowship of the Ring. If true, the news marks Matt Reeves’ latest reinvention of the Batman mythology as a continual outlier among superhero movies, at least for those in their first outings....

Chances are, you know the feeling: You sit down when it’s your turn to play. Your friend passes a controller and just as he does, an enemy appears on screen - this is your time to shine. Grabbing the controller, you proceed to aim at the roof and end up looking the wrong direction, your character probably making a sad face while he still had a head. You’re a victim of inverted controls, but there’s no support line for you....

The most important part of any video is the community behind it. In the case of older games and titles that support mods, fans have been able to breath new life into many of our favorites. And it’s not always with regards to the game itself. We’ve collected four recent examples of fans expressing themselves through art and creativity, giving fans a little something cool for four very important video game franchises: Pokemon, BioShock, Mega Man and Halo....

Grand Theft Auto V was a groundbreaking entry in the infamous franchise and was carried by the three protagonists that were introduced to gamers with their highly entertaining hijinks and missions. It was a gutsy move to have three different main characters and was received well enough, especially with every one of these characters being as interesting as the last. While Michael is the hot-headed mastermind and Trevor is the raging, psychopathic lunatic, Franklin is the reserved up-and-coming criminal with an amazing talent for getaway driving that steals the hearts of gamers with his heart-wrenching back story....

One key element to designing a tense, engaging heist scenario is having some kind of ticking clock. If characters have to follow a strict schedule to avoid being caught, any interruptions become magnified. This can be seen in popular movies like Ocean’s Eleven as well as video games like Path of Exile’s recent Heist league, but an exploit in Grand Theft Auto Online can potentially take this concern away. Heists are not new in GTA Online, the multiplayer extension of Rockstar Games’ popular Grand Theft Auto 5....

As far as anticipated exclusives go, Halo Infinite is at the top of the list for many. The game will be the first Halo launch title since the original debuted with the Xbox, and it’s easily the biggest game in Microsoft’s roster for this year. However, it’s still in development, though fans have now gotten a peek at one strange source for sound effects in the game. A video of 343 Industries capturing audio from Xbox hardware has been circulating Twitter, with developers using the electromagnetic fields emitting from consoles as a source for sound effects....

It may have taken a while to get here, but 2015 is looking like the year that Star Wars comes back into the spotlight in a big way.

Of the known quantities, though, there is only Star Wars Battlefront on the horizon....

One of the great things about Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin is that you can custom create your own character when beginning the game and there are plenty of different options to choose from to truly make your character your own. If you’re wishing you had chosen a different hairstyle or makeup later on in the game, or you’re just looking for a change, fortunately, you can still change some aspects of your character’s appearance....

Roguelikes are definitely an acquired taste. The idea of sinking an hour into a procedurally-generated dungeon only to die and have to start from scratch is jut not an appealing prospect to a lot of people. However, the best roguelikes ensure that players are rewarded just enough after each run to still make them feel like they’re making significant progress. In Death: Unchained walks that line pretty much perfectly, making it an ideal virtual reality roguelike experience, though there are some hangups that keep it from being quite as good as it could have been....

If you’re not yet familiar with Cozy Grove, it’s a cute, life-sim game that was released earlier this year. In this game, you play as a spirit scout who goes camping on a haunted island. The goal is to help comfort the ghosts on the island and bring back joy that’s been lost. As you do this, you can explore the island and uncover secrets and mysteries. Despite the game being out for a bit, it was brought to attention recently that Cozy Grove originally included a line that had to be removed, as it would have confused non-Americans....

Following the incorporation of an Independence Day update a couple of weeks ago, the video game developer Rockstar Games continues to expand the content for Grand Theft Auto Online. Now, the latest offering for the multiplayer component to GTA 5 is a new vehicular Adversary Mode called Overtime Rumble, which has been detailed as a “team-based vehicular remix” of darts combined with elements of a demolition derby. In a blog post announcing the addition of Overtime Rumble to Grand Theft Auto Online, Rockstar Games explained that the new Adversary Mode can host up to 10 players, and will have them attempting to parachute and land the Ruiner 2000 on platforms of different sizes, with each successful landing being worth anywhere between 1 and 5 points....

As we near the end of this generation of video game consoles, the hype is real for Grand Theft Auto VI’s release. Everything points to a similar situation as in 2013: new console releases meant a new GTA game. We’ve been deprived of fresh GTA experiences long enough, and the next one should be here within the next few years. Still, everything about the game is hope and conjecture at this point, so nothing can be said with absolute certainty....
