With Halo Infinite releasing later this year, longtime fans of the series have a lot to look forward to. Given the promise of semi open-world gameplay, a grappling hook, and a slew of other features, the return of Halo could not come fast enough. Sadly, there remains a lot left to be extrapolated regarding gameplay features and mission types. Although, one clever fan noticed something rather interesting in the gameplay trailer that everyone else supposedly missed....

The Hangzhou Spark just bolstered up their roster by adding Minho “Architect” Park to the mix. This comes after the Spark announced the retirement of DPS player Jun-Ki “Bazzi” Park. The Architect signing is the result of a contract transfer between the Spark and the San Francisco Shock, though the details of the transfer have not been disclosed. Architect is a great addition for the Hangzhou Spark that have struggled so far in 2020....

Blizzard’s popular CCG (Collectible Card Game) Hearthstone is “killing itself,” according to industry analytics firm SuperData. The organization says that revenues for the game are in decline on both the mobile and desktop versions. In a February report about the worldwide digital games market, SuperData spelled out a not so positive picture for the Blizzard card game. It says that in February, Hearthstone revenues on iOS and Android hit the “lowest” since those versions of the game launched and is “down significantly year-over-year and month-over-month....

The season finale of House of the Dragon features shocking deaths, soaring dragons, and the looming threat of civil war as Rhaenrya Targaryen (Emma D’Arcy) is forced to deal not only with the news of her father’s death, but also the usurpation of the Iron Throne by the Hightowers and Aegon II (Tom Glynn-Carney). “The Black Queen” ends on a major cliffhanger as well with the queen having to weigh her responsibilities to the realm with her desire for vengeance....

Larian Studios has been taking a different approach to the release of its latest RPG, Baldur’s Gate 3. While plenty of games release into early access, Larian has also been taking things bit by bit, releasing only pieces of the game at a time. Currently, only the first part of the game has released. It’s not the first to do this, but even among early access games, it’s a rare approach....

Jaws was the horror thriller that made Steven Spielberg a star director and changed the face of modern moviemaking and marketing. The simple story, about a Long Island beach town terrorized by attacks from a great white shark, became one of the most iconic films of all time and is both one of the cinema’s great adventure stories and most memorable monster movies. The roots of the movie lie in a novel by Peter Benchley, a writer and journalist who was trying to salvage his career when he penned the tale of the shark that drove millions of readers and moviegoers out of the water....

In an industry dominated by 8 to 10 hour experiences, the RPG genre stands alone. Given its connections to older pen and paper-style role-playing games perhaps this isn’t surprising. Where normal board games might have taken players anywhere from 1 to 3 hours to complete, tabletop goliaths like the Dungeons & Dragons series enthralled fans for far longer. Hoping to continue in the same vein — The Elder Scrolls Online will arrive this April boasting an entire continent’s worth of content....

This article contains THE FALCON AND THE WINTER SOLDIER spoilers. The Falcon and the Winter Soldier has its fair share of issues: The bizarrely uneven pacing, the mixed messages about capitalism and propaganda, the fact that Flag Smashers is literally the stupidest name for a villain supergroup in history even if they do exist in the comics. But like WandaVision before it, the series truly excels at giving multiple sidelined Marvel Cinematic Universe characters a chance to finally step forward into their own stories....

This article contains MCU spoilers. The longevity of Chris Hemsworth’s Thor in the Marvel Cinematic Universe has taken many by surprise. When Robert Downey Jr. and Chris Evans made Avengers: Endgame their swansong, many figured Hemsworth would join them. Instead, he’s becoming the first solo character to reach a fourth solo cinematic installment with Thor: Love and Thunder. Even more surprising was the news that Natalie Portman was coming back to the MCU to bring the story of Jane Foster lifting Mjolnir to the big screen....

Vortex Flux is a pen and paper sci-fi tabletop roleplaying game that recently went online with version 0.01a (alpha), developed by solo-designer Lando Baldur. If you’re thinking that the version number probably means there isn’t much yet to this TTRPG, think again. Vortex Flux is already an immense and complete game, with its core book PDF spanning 350 pages of incredible detail and amazing artwork. And it’s free. A word of warning here: absolutely wait until your computer has nothing else going on before clicking on the Vortex Flux Core Book link on the game’s website....

During a recent digital event, Ubisoft showcased Immortals Fenyx Rising (the game previously known as Gods and Monsters). The name may be different, but Immortals Fenyx Rising doesn’t appear to have changed in many other major ways since we saw the Gods and Monsters trailer in 2019 (at least on the surface). Both featured colorful environments, an emphasis on mythological monsters, and more than a few reasons to suggest that Ubisoft was trying to make their own Breath of the Wild with a little Assassin’s Creed tossed in....

Indie Early Access RPG Wildermyth is keeping the updates coming as it continues to evolve. The new update adds the expected bug fixes and extra customization options, but the most exciting addition is a new campaign. The new campaign, the game’s fourth, is called Eluna and the Moth. The Steam blog introduces it as a more focused story. Wildermyth is meant to be an ever-evolving story where characters can live, die, and be avenged by their descendants....
