Half-Life: Alyx has easily become one of the most sought after and highly anticipated games in recent history. Now that it’s finally here, Half-Life: Alyx has been met with near universal critical acclaim. However, since its release, many Half-Life fans all over the internet have begun to create memes that centralize around one particular part of the game. Apparently, players can access the in-game video files and replace the opening video with anything they want....

Michael Myers is the understated horror icon, for better or worse. He’s the architect of the whole slasher genre and while John Carpenter’s Halloween is an undisputed classic, he doesn’t stand out as much as his fellow supernatural murderers. He’s the less-exciting Jason Voorhees, even if he came first and had his shit figured out by the first movie (as opposed to Jason’s three). I guess Michael stands out less because he was never part of anything excessively dumb....

Update:343 Industries has confirmed that Halo Infinite’s multiplayer mode will be free for everyone. In addition to that, the Xbox Series X version will run at 120 FPS for that ultra-smooth experience. So Halo Infinite might have free multiplayer. That’s pretty cool, right? We know that Halo Infinite will definitely have a multiplayer component, but details on just what that entails have remained pretty slim up until just recently. A new leak courtesy of a toy store might have just given us our first piece of big Halo news that Microsoft hasn’t unveiled yet....

Harry Potter: Wizards Unite players have been plenty busy with a handful of events this month and things aren’t slowing down at all in the second half as part 2 of the current Brilliant Event kicks off. The mobile AR game is playing it safe and continues to optimize all ongoing events for at home play, including the new two-part event that kicked off the month of July and concludes over the next week....

Wanna play DOOM Eternal in third-person? Sure you do. Here’s how to do it. There’s a cheat engine out there for DOOM Eternal that you can use to activate various console commands, like god mode and no-clip mode. But those aren’t really very interesting–certainly not as interesting as being able to re-activate the pistol, a gun that was cut from the original game before release. You can also play the game in third-person mode....

Hogwarts Legacy faces a huge amount of challenges, not least dealing with its expansive source material and the high expectations of its fans....

Hogwarts Legacy is the upcoming RPG from Avalanche Software which will put players in the shoes of a student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in the late 1800s. The Wizarding World has a huge amount of lore and among the largest and most dedicated fan-bases of any media franchise, so the developer will have some big decisions to make when deciding what is and is not included in the games....

Anyone still giddy on fumes having devoured the whole of sexy, sexy Bridgerton, might well be looking for more love machinations, posh dresses and ladies attending dances. You may well be tempted then by 2005’s Pride and Prejudice which is available to stream on Netflix. After all, this is one of the starriest and most lavish period productions around, packed with stone cold talent. The Bennet family alone boasts Carey Mulligan, Rosamund Pike, Jenna Malone, Brenda Blethyn and Donald Sutherland as well as the movie’s star Keira Knightley....

Just recently, Microsoft made Project Scorpio’s official specs available to the public by way of an exclusive hands-on experience with Eurogamer, and the full rundown of what’s under the next piece of Xbox hardware’s hood is so chock full of technical terms and computing jargon that it may be difficult for casual gaming fans to parse exactly how much strength the forthcoming console contains. Suffice it to say, though, Project Scorpio is primed to be the most powerful console to ever be released on the market, but even so, it begs the question of how much the new Xbox system should actually cost to consumers when it launches later this year....

This OUTLANDER article includes MAJOR spoilers for the Season 5 finale. The Outlander Season 5 finale was much more self-referential than most episodes of this TV show, as we delve into Claire’s subconscious as she dissociates to avoid the reality of her abduction and abuse at the hands of Lionel Brown. Instead of staying in the present, her mind brings her to a 20th century home filled with her 18th century family celebrating American Thanksgiving....

I am too old to understand what back bling is, do you understand that? I still remember when people were saying that having a John Wick skin was the peak of skill and fashion in Fortnite, and now you can be a T-800 or Sarah Connor, or even Ghost Rider. I blinked and aged decades, and Fortnite became the only relevant cultural touchstone that parents ever needed to know about video games....

Warning: this Inside No. 9 review contains spoilers. A stranded pedalo! Glorious. It’s taken almost 40 episodes, but Inside No. 9 has finally landed on the purest distillation of its ‘contained space’ concept. They will never better a pedalo. A pedalo is a punchline before you’ve even written a word, which is what makes it a divine backdrop for a script about grief, loss, regrets and the messiness of once-close friendships that have – literally here – drifted....

Apple has announced a new addition to the iPhone 12 line - the iPhone 12 mini. This marks the first-ever use of the term “mini” with the iPhone, joining the ranks of the iPad, iPod, and Mac. The tech giant continues to adhere to its annual release schedule, having been barely over a year since info about the iPhone 11 dropped. This latest generation will be the first to include a 5G network, although other important things will be missing....

This article contains spoilers for all of House of the Dragon season 1. Author George R.R. Martin draws on lots of different things for inspiration when he writes his A Song of Ice and Fire series, which was adapted into Game of Thrones and now House of the Dragon. The influence of the medieval era on the history of Westeros is well known, from Henry I making his barons swear loyalty to his daughter Matilda just as Viserys I makes his lords swear loyalty to his daughter Rhaenyra in Fire & Blood (adapted into House of the Dragon), to the conflict between the Starks and the Lannisters in A Song of Ice and Fire that partly mirrors the conflict between the real life houses of York and Lancaster in the 1400s....

BioWare and EA have shared more information about their inevitable (but still welcome) recent announcement that they intend to remaster the Mass Effect trilogy and re-release the whole thing as part of a new package called Mass Effect Legendary Edition. As revealed by Game Informer, this new edition of the game will not only feature all the single-player content seen in the original trilogy (including all promo items and content from over 40 DLC releases) but will enhance their visuals in what seem to be significant ways....

Pokémon Day is only a week away and rumors have been spreading about plans for a huge announcement that will be made on that day, most likely that of the next generation of Pokémon games for the Nintendo Switch. Pokémon Day is the name given to February 27, which is the anniversary of the date when Pokémon Red & Green were released in Japan. The Official Pokémon YouTube Channel has been uploading videos in such a way as to suggest that a big announcement will be happening on the channel on Pokémon Day....
