It’s the most wonderful time of the year! And with its list of new releases for December 2022, Hulu is planning accordingly. Compared to its rival streaming services like Netflix, Prime Video, and HBO Max, Hulu is a bit more holiday forward in the final month of 2022. Sure, all the streaming services are bringing some Christmas content to the table, but Hulu is the only one to plant its flag in a special called It’s a Wonderful Binge....
The civilization strategy game Humankind has been delayed until August 17, making it the second delay for Amplitude’s title. The pandemic continues to hinder the release of many projects, but developers are also taking extra time to perfect its releases in light of Cyberpunk 2077’s fiasco. Humankind received its first delay back in June 2020, when it was pushed to April 2021. With April just around the corner, Amplitude has issued another delay just in the nick of time, adding another four months to the community’s wait....
Following the string of protests that have begun taking place in the United States last week, IGN has delayed the start of its “Summer of Gaming” Livestream event until June 8, 2020. In an official statement on Twitter, the company stated it made the decision “out of respect for and in support of those rightfully demanding justice and change across the United States and the world.” The company hasn’t announced a replacement schedule, but it seems likely that everything previously announced will be shifted four days....
This Black Lightning article contains spoilers for Season 4, Episode 8, “Things Fall Apart.” Things really do fall apart in the latest episode of Black Lightning. After returning home from their honeymoon in the Akashic Valley, newlyweds Anissa and Grace are greeted warmly by the family in a surprise celebration. The reception is unfortunately cut short by the arrival of the FBI, who serve Jefferson a search warrant based on an accusation of embezzlement from Garfield High School....
This morning people awoke to discover “Lizard Squad” trending on Twitter. For video game players who have not heard the name since several alleged Lizard Squad members were arrested several years ago, this probably came as a shock. Lizard Squad was a hacker group that saw a lot of public activity around 2014 and 2015. The group specifically targeted video game services, disrupting both PlayStation Network and Xbox by taking the networks of both systems offline....
Avengers: Infinity War has become not only the blockbuster hit of the summer but most likely the hit of the year. Everyone has been anticipating its release for what feels like ages, and now that it’s finally out, a lot of us are shocked, while some of us maybe are not, by Thanos’ actions, especially at the end of the film. Even if you saw it coming a million miles away, there is absolutely no argument over whether or not Thanos was incredibly cruel to the Avengers, as well as the universe as a whole....
Borrowing stylistically from the likes of the Mobile Suit Gundam franchise and classic games like Wing Commander, doublesix games (makers of Burn Zombie Burn!) promises to deliver an updated version of the old space-action arcade games many grew up on. However, Strike Suit Zero will stand apart from that which inspires it with several key gameplay features. The first and foremost of said features is the Strike Suit itself. It has the ability to transform, one mode no doubt allowing for greater speed and maneuverability, while the other gives you a greater range of weaponry with which to unleash on your enemies, of which there will be plenty, given the premise of Strike Suit Zero....
Fortnite has been making more headlines than usual of late thanks to a legal dispute between its publisher and Apple. The main issue between Epic Games and Apple is over the current state of app stores and the monopoly that Apple has on its devices. The situation has led to Fortnite being removed from the Apple App Store and as a result, the game is not purchasable on the phones of the manufacturer....
Skateboarding games have seen a slight resurgence lately, with the release of games like Session and Skater XL bringing back a long-dormant subgenre of games. In the wake of these games gaining some serious traction, now the big boys of skateboarding games have made their presences known. Last year was all about Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2 Remastered collection, and perhaps 2021 will give us more info on Skate 4, or whatever the next Skate game will be....
The past year has taught us that video games are for everyone more than ever before. Titles like Animal Crossing: New Horizons and Among Us have been the saving grace of casual and even non-gamers throughout the pandemic. However, there is still a belief that certain games are for certain people. In some cases, there is almost an element of shame thrust upon people who are playing a game whose core community has decided it isn’t intended for anyone outside of their own personal demographic....
Rumors about Grand Theft Auto 6 have been plentiful in the past year, with speculation on everything from the game’s setting to release date. Rockstar, however, has increasingly spoken on the difficulties of developing a GTA game at the present time, with even some of the voice talents behind the last game chipping in to give their two cents. Fans who are hoping that Grand Theft Auto 6 is just around the corner will likely be disappointed....
Battle royale modes and games continue to live on in evergreen popularity, especially now. Fortnite’s latest explosion in popularity with Chapter 2, Season 5 has shown no signs of slowing down for Epic Games. Call of Duty: Warzone continues its streak as one of the most popular options, especially now that it’s fully integrated with the latest Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War. Apex Legends is also seeing a resurgence in momentum with Season 7, and Season 8 coming very soon....
Update 5/29: This article was updated to fix errors. At the time of this writing, Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery from Jam City lets players play up to Year 3 Chapter 11. There will be at least one more chapter for Year 3 before it’s all said and done, and then players will be able to start their fourth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Year 4 in Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery promises to bring with it plenty of new content for players to sink their teeth into....
Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery’s app icon has been changed, as has the loading screen people see when they start up the game. The previous loading screen was pre-release art for the game, but now players are treated to an image of a werewolf with various characters from Hogwarts Mystery pointing their wand at it. This has led Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery fans to wonder exactly who the werewolf is. We can safely rule out the characters that are in the image....
When developer Niantic finally launched their newest augmented reality (AR) game Harry Potter: Wizards Unite in North America last week, its opening numbers for both sales and unique installations were low. At least, in comparing them to the behemoth that was Pokémon GO. Unlike those initial frenzied months of Pokémon GO where it seemed everyone outside was running around trying to catch their favorite first-generation Pokémon, there hardly seems to be any players looking to become a powerful Witch or Wizard....
The power of love is a tricky concept to pull off in storytelling. We all know that having that special someone at your side can bolster you through the toughest of times. But that feeling is indescribable at best, often leading to speedy conclusions where things work out because love. Sometimes that’s enough, sometimes we just want a good ol’ fashioned romantic comedy to uplift us. But when used in other genres, the power of love can quickly become cheap Deus ex Machina....
Perhaps one of the most hotly requested returns in the entirety of the Star Wars fandom has finally been confirmed. Hayden Christensen, famous for playing Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader in Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith, will officially step back in as the dark lord himself in the upcoming Disney+ series Obi-Wan Kenobi. The Star Wars Twitter account made the announcement as part of a substantial reveal of several new shows and other properties during the 2020 Disney Investor Day....
Agent 47’s next mission is going portable as IO Interactive is bringing Hitman 3 to the Nintendo Switch in one of the many surprise announcements made at today’s Nintendo Direct Mini. While Hitman 3 was already announced at the PlayStation 5 reveal event back in June, the game was only announced for the PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X, Xbox One and of course the PC. News of the game being brought to the Nintendo Switch seemed unlikely given the Switch being less powerful than its Sony and Microsoft counterparts, but as with the reveal of Control also coming to the Switch, Hitman 3 is a cloud-based version of the game....
Robert Jordan’s The Wheel of Time series is quite rightly defined as massive. In fact, some have called it unadaptable. The story spans fourteen novels spread over two decades and was ultimately penned by two different authors (Jordan passed away in 2007 and fellow fantasy writer Brandon Sanderson was brought in to finish the series based on his notes.) It was also considered fairly groundbreaking in many ways, from its sprawling cast of major characters to its incorporation of the cyclical nature of creation most often seen in Eastern religions, its focus on balance and duality, and perhaps most importantly, its inclusion of multiple powerful, impactful women....
