Apex Legends Season 8 is kicking off in one week, and in addition to Fuse and a very different view of the iconic King’s Canyon map, the update is bringing a whole host of new changes which just might change up the meta. Yes, the 30-30 Repeater is going to help the new legend Fuse make the battlefield even more dynamic and unpredictable, but the Gold Magazine might be what changes the game to most....
Naughty Dog is a well known name within the gaming industry thanks to its vast and diverse library of titles released over nearly the last three decades. Although modern audiences may mostly associate the company’s pawprint logo with Uncharted and The Last of Us, it was actually back on the original PlayStation that Naughty Dog found its first big hit. To compete with Nintendo’s many franchises, Sony knew the PlayStation needed one of its own, and so Naughty Dog delivered Crash Bandicoot to the masses, a series that remains popular even today....
Off the back of his success in the Oscar-winning Shakespeare in Love, actor Joseph Fiennes was a man on many big movie casting director’s wishlists in the 1990s in particular. And in a new interview, he’s revealed that he came close to landing a key role in the Star Wars prequels. Obi-Wan Kenobi as it happens, the part that was played ultimately by Ewan McGregor in the prequel trilogy. In an interview with The Wrap, Fiennes has been talking in loose terms about his audition and why he didn’t get the role....
Koei Tecmo’s recently released Fairy Tail is a JRPG developed by Gust Co. LTD, known for the Atelier Ryza series. Based on a Shonen Jump anime that features over 300 episodes, you’d think this would be an epic journey to end all epic journey. 900 hours of content that never ends and drones on and on and on and… Surprisingly, that isn’t the case here. While the developers had stated before release that the story would take around 30 hours to complete, they were likely talking about complete newbies to RPGs....
It’s a common meme for JRPGs to always end their narratives with “killing god,” or more accurately someone/something as powerful as a god. Jokes online always jest about how every Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, Shin Megami Tensei, or Xenoblade game starts with a simple fetch quest and ends with a cataclysmic final battle. RPGs and their obsession with taking Nietzsche’s “God is Dead” adage too literally has become a stereotype deeply ingrained within the genre....
Want an easy template for a D&D ice sorcerer? Why not Iceman from the X-Men? The X-Men originally consisted of five teenagers, who would go on to become the backbone of one of the most popular comic book series of all time. The strongest member of the X-Men (assuming the Phoenix Force isn’t counted) is easily Iceman, who has the power to shatter people where they stand by freezing the water in their body....
The Wood Plank is the basic building block of just about everything in Minecraft. It’s the first thing players should gather and is fundamental to the crafting of basic tools, shelters, and used as early smelting fuel. Even in the endgame players will still need Wood Planks to craft their Netherite tools. Be it for practical or for aesthetic purposes, players will want a steady stream of Wood Planks flowing into their storage chests....
Here’s where to get the Trinity Ghoul Catalyst in Destiny 2’s Season of Arrivals. Season of Arrivals has… well, arrived. And with it comes a bunch of new loot. The Exotic grenade launcher Witherhoard comes as part of the season pass, but older Exotics are getting a bit of a refresh too. One of those is Trinity Ghoul, an Exotic bow added in Forsaken. Trinity Ghoul has been sort of forgotten since Forsaken came out as it’s not exactly the most powerful bow, even among Legendary options....

In a recent interview, Hugh Jackman revealed the only thing that would bring him back to the silver screen as Wolverine. The actor claims that if he were offered to reprise his role as Wolverine in the MCU, that he might think twice about his decision to stop playing Wolverine. Most of this is in reference to the past, however, as Jackman never clearly states that he would be willing to come back again....
Fans of Hunt: Showdown have been waiting for a very long time for this new event in Crytek’s PVP and PVE horror first-person shooter. As the three-year celebration of Hunt: Showdown just took place, it has been over two years since a new boss has been added to the game with The Assassin, and now it looks like another is entering the Bayou. While the game seemed to slow down in terms of content for a few months, the massive Update 1....
With it being the Halloween season, all the battle royale games are holding their own themed events, including Fortnite, Apex Legends, and Call of Duty: Warzone. Unsurprisingly, Ubisoft is taking part in the festivities too with its own battle royale, Hyper Scape. The event has, in fact, started today and will be running for two weeks until November 3rd. A new trailer provides a glimpse at some of the new content players can look forward to acquiring, specifically cosmetics for characters and weapons like zombie skins, techno-pumpkin heads, and even a cauldron filled with candy that can be thrown....
There’s a scene from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild that never fails to make me giggle. It’s a flashback to 100 years prior, around the time that Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity takes place. Daruk, the legendary Goron Champion chosen to pilot Divine Beast Vah Rudania, has a little chat with Zelda: “So tell me, Princess…” says Daruk. “Yes?” asks Zelda. “Calamity Ganon isn’t, uh… some kind of a dog monster, is he?...
The first episode of Game of Thrones premiered ten years ago today, which has me thinking about all the things the show did right and wrong; particularly the ending. It wasn’t very good, but I think we all know that by now. There’s not much point in me rehashing the things that didn’t work, or why I didn’t enjoy it. We all seem to have different reasons for why we disliked the ending, but the fact that there are so many bad elements to pick from only goes to compound the issue: the ending was rubbish....
“Indy, we’re home.” That’s a line not uttered by John Rhys-Davies’ Sallah in the first trailer for Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, but it might as well be. The legacy sequel directed by James Mangold seems to want to scratch the same nostalgia itch as Harrison Ford‘s return as Han Solo in 2015’s Star Wars: The Force Awakens. But in the fifth Indy flick, it’s not Ford’s character announcing his triumphant comeback but his trusty companion encouraging him to take up the whip once again....
Injustice: Gods Among Us was a bit of a surprise hit video game – a successful fighting game with an engaging story from the people who gave the world the S-Tier cartoonish gore of the Mortal Kombat franchise. It was then turned into an even bigger surprise: a creatively and financially successful tie-in comic that massively expanded the universe of the game, telling the story of the five years preceding the game and bringing in multiple Lantern corps, magic users, and gods from DC’s mythical universe....
With the release of Spider-Man: Miles Morales, Insomniac Games has cemented itself as the de facto developer of Spider-Man games, a title that will likely stick with it until Sony loses the rights to the franchise. With two games under its belt and demand for a third, Insomniac could choose to go pretty much anywhere with the franchise, and, without spoiling anything, an after-credits scene in Miles Morales shows promise, but Insomniac has one problem to solve first....
It was announced recently that Paramount’s unstoppable Neo-Western Yellowstone is officially returning for a fifth season. No surprise there. Then came the announcement earlier this week where Paramount’s streaming service, Paramount+ has ordered another season of the prequel, 1883. Perhaps a small surprise, but certainly a welcome one. Then came an announcement that surprised almost any branded Yellowstone fan, that of yet another prequel, Yellowstone: 1932. This creates yet another timeline, yet another generation of Duttons as they navigate a difficult period in American history....
Samsung’s foldables are already pretty great but there’s one thing that can always be improved - the hinge. Now, it looks increasingly likely that is exactly what we can expect from the Galaxy Fold 5. Ces 2023 recently came to a close but it sounds like Samsung was showing off a new type of foldable hinge that allows the foldable to close in a much flatter fashion than is currently the case....
