Nine months ago, publisher Electronic Arts made the surprising announcement that it would be closing down Visceral Games. The developer was best-known for creating the Dead Space series, a trio of survival horror games that sent players to space and put them against zombie-like enemies called Necromorphs. The games were well-loved by fans and the closure of the studio dashed hopes for a Dead Space 4. Dead Space 4 will never be released (with Visceral Games at the helm, at least), but the developer had plenty of ideas about what the game would look like....

Xbox has confirmed seven new titles coming to Game Pass, as well as five that will only be available until January 15, 2021. The next generation of consoles officially arrived two months ago. If Xbox wants to keep moving forward and compete with PlayStation, it needs to deal some heavy blows over the coming years. One of those blows has already been dealt in the form of its Game Pass. Despite the introduction of PlayStation’s PS Plus Collection, the PS5 has nothing that compares to the value gamers get with Game Pass....

World of Warcraft: Shadowlands is set to launch later this month. The upcoming expansion for the long-running MMORPG will introduce some brand new concepts to a universe which Blizzard began back in 1994 with the release of Warcraft: Orcs and Humans. One new feature of the lore is “anima” – the essence of souls. Not only does anima have a huge role to play in the premise and plot of World of Warcraft: Shadowlands, but it draws attention to a trend in World of Warcraft’s storytelling which has been unfolding since at least Wrath of the Lich King....

This article contains spoilers for Guillermo del Toro’s Cabinet of Curiosities: “Dreams in the Witch House.” “It was almost a story written for a sound designer, in my mind,” Hardwicke says of her adaptation of the Lovecraft story of the same name. “(The story) just talks about the creaks and the sounds moving all through the witch house. I got the sound designers to really go step by step in there....

Gang Beasts is a goofy game - that’s the simplest way to put it. Here you’ll be wrestling around, flailing your limbs in an attempt to overthrow opponents and complete a variety of challenges - only, performing all of that flailing is much easier said than done. There are dozens of actions you can string together to overwhelm your opponents in Gang Beasts - though few of them are more effective than just picking up and throwing people, honestly - and in this guide we’re going to teach you everything you need to know about one of the most important attacks, the Dropkick....

After a lengthy early access period on PC, Stranded Deep has just had its console release, and a bevy of new players are now diving into this challenging survival game. One thing that many fans will immediately notice as they begin their time with Stranded Deep is that the default setting for a controller is non-inverted, and indeed some players will want to change that as quickly as possible. For these fans, this guide will shine some light on how to invert the Y-axis in Stranded Deep....

Forget red vs. blue, this is all about green vs. orange. A mysterious costumed avenger dressed as Marvel’s Hulk took a sledgehammer to Donald Trump’s Hollywood Walk of Fame Star, destroying it as surely as the President has destroyed America’s economy and standing on the world stage. The attack on the undeserved monument to a man whose only previous claim to fame was being a racist landlord, fake rich dude, and host of a phony reality TV show happened at about 5 am PDT, only an hour or so after the President announced that he and the First Lady had been infected with Covid-19....

Avengers: Infinity War has blown both audiences and box offices away, making $250 million in their opening weekend alone. This is not at all a surprise, considering the masterful buildup that Marvel Studios has been working on ever since The Avengers in 2010. The Avengers introduced an overarching villain to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, one that Marvel fans have been waiting to see on the big screen: Thanos, the Mad Titan....

The hustle and bustle of the holiday season has finally come to a close – both evidenced by and punctuated with Steam’s holiday sale, which is re-wrapping itself for next season. Gamers everywhere have a lot to look forward to in the new year, and Bethesda Softworks seems eager not to disappoint. After the flurry of updates and downloadable content that has been made available for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim in the past few short months, the award-winning studio appears to have more of their epic story to tell....

Resident Evil 7’s first two DLC packs have been available for all platforms for a little over a week now, giving fans plenty of time to sink their teeth into the new content. However, some fans may be holding off on Resident Evil 7’s DLC because they’re unsure if it will be worth the price of admission. Resident Evil 7’s DLC support so far has included two Banned Footage volumes, with a free story expansion and a third paid DLC pack coming later this year....

Overwatch fans are always discovering new secrets and Easter eggs in the maps, even years after the maps have been released. Overwatch fans have recently discovered a reference to Diablo 3 on a map two years after the map was released. On the final leg of the Blizzard World map, there are some barrels that break if you shoot or punch them. This isn’t unusual – there are breakables on almost every map – but these barrels have a very rare chance of a “legendary drop....

Warner Bros. Animation Group. is developing a trio of films based on the works of children’s author Dr. Seuss. One of the projects will be an adaptation of Seuss’ Oh, the Places You’ll Go! from Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker director J. J. Abrams. The film joins a new adaptation of The Cat in the Hat and a spin-off tentatively titled Thing One and Thing Two as part of Warner Bros....

After what seems like an eternity, it appears that it’s finally time for No Time To Die – the 25th James Bond movie in the series – to reach audiences. Despite Daniel Craig’s earlier assertion that Spectre would be his last, the actor has returned for one final outing as Bond. No Time To Die director Cary Fukanaga, who is perhaps best known for shepherding the first season of True Detective as well as creating and directing Netflix show Maniac, says he’s approaching Craig’s run almost like a TV show....

Many actors tend to get deep into the characters they’re playing, whether it be mentally or even physically. In the case of Karen Gillan, who plays Nebula in the Guardians of the Galaxy films, it’s definitely the latter, and as a result, she’s figured out a way to almost seamlessly change back to “herself” once shooting is over. Some may remember how Gillan went as far as to shave her head when first playing Nebula in the first Mass Effect-inspired Guardians of the Galaxy film....

If there’s one thing that video game fans are good at, it’s creating large odes to the games they love. While that can manifest in a number of different ways, from artwork to fan-made video games and beyond, arcade cabinets are a rare but impressive way to express one’s love for a game. One Hades fan has taken that idea and ran with it, creating an impressive full-sized arcade cabinet based on the game....

Oscar winning actress Halle Berry said in an interview promoting her new film Bruised that she knew Catwoman “wasn’t quite right” while making it. After becoming the first African American woman ever to win the Best Actress Oscar for Monster’s Ball in 2002, Berry would infamously go on to star in Catwoman, a critical and commercial bomb which failed to make back its $100 million budget. Talking about her decision to take the role, Berry said “people said to me, ‘You can’t do that....

The Banished have migrated into the primary timeline of the Halo universe as the next big opposing force in the franchise. Recent trailers for Halo Infinite give a bit of exposition regarding what kind of a role they’re going to play in events yet to unfold. Since the Banished have largely remained on sidelines as the antagonists of Halo Wars 2, many fans might require a dossier of intel on what we know of this foe, and how their story will fit into the greater narrative....

Although Microsoft and 343 Industries are pushing Halo Infinite to next year, its marketing campaigns are still continuing on schedule. As fans continue to stock up on doubled experience points through Infinite’s Monster Energy promotion, eyes are also on 343’s Halo Waypoint blog for any new updates. In the latest post, 343 revealed Halo Infinite’s newest character and iconic armor through pieces of concept art. The developers released this art in Halo Waypoint’s latest installment of “Canon Fodder,” a regular feature of the official blog that dives into Halo’s lore across the games, novels and comics....

Last week, developer Jam City broke with its pattern and didn’t release a new chapter for Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery fans, leaving them to wonder where Year 4 Chapter 15 was. Luckily, the wait for Year 4 Chapter 15 is over, and fans can play the new story content now. Year 4 Chapter 15 in Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery has three new story objectives and two new classes for players to complete....
