Though Marvel has decided to consolidate all of its cinematic universe offerings onto Disney+, some outliers still live on for other streaming services.

Oswalt’s MODOK is every bit the devious floating head that he’s depicted as in the comics....
Immortals Fenyx Rising is Ubisoft’s latest hit. While the massive gaming studio released a handful of games in 2020, this one, in particular, took so many people by surprise. It was fun, it had humor and heart, and its open-world mechanic was masterfully crafted. Speaking of the game’s open-world mechanic, Immortals Fenyx Rising houses some of the best-looking locations in recent video game history. While the game isn’t exactly a technical marvel, its art direction makes the world of Immortals Fenyx Rising come alive with colors and vibrancy....

Mobile gaming is a tough business. It’s an incredibly saturated market with new games pouring out each and every day, their free-to-play nature means a reliance on microtransactions that are not only controversial but require constant player interaction, and the medium as a whole often keeps mobile gaming in a separate box. We spoke to developers from IT Territory, Pixonic, and Whalekit (all studios under the My.Games umbrella) about what challenges and changes have occurred in the mobile industry recently....
You know how it feels like virtually every piece of television or film has to have some sort of disclaimer in the news before its release saying “based on a true story”? It’s almost as if the creators of fiction believe it gives more credence to their plot if they can say it’s realistic enough to have taken place in real life. Netflix’s creative new heist-thriller Kaleidoscope is joining in on this recurring theme of supposed-realism....
Battle royale games have reached crazy heights over the past few years, and it was only a matter of time one of the big daddies of FPS games, Call of Duty, hopped on the party wagon.

Swapping modern design with pure old-school vigor, the Ardent boasts more than just a nostalgic feeling: it comes with two mounted machineguns in the front, making it the perfect car to fulfill one’s Knight Rider fantasy in GTA Online....
Guardians of the Galaxy seems to have split opinion since it appeared at the Square Enix E3 Showcase, and I can’t quite understand why. Obviously, it’s a new IP rather than news on Final Fantasy 14 or something like that, but didn’t Final Fantasy 14 just basically have an E3 of its own with Fan Fest? Guardians is a brand new game, arriving later this year, with bags of gameplay footage to show off, and it’s based on one of the biggest grossing movies of all-time....
Hand-in-hand, this promises the two defining elements of the 2018 revival film, which 40 years later seeks to accomplish what so many other Halloween sequels have failed to do: make a proper continuation (and maybe conclusion) to the original. Like previous Halloween follow-ups, Green’s movie is filled with a nostalgia for the original slasher and only the original, but unlike previous successors, it is presented with a playful creative exuberance, which runs throughout the picture from Green’s better scare setups to his and McBride’s surprisingly amusing screenplay....

Painstakingly reproduced – with a few changes here and there to retain the integrity of certain areas in CS:GO like bomb sites and buy zones – the Halo: Combat Evolved map known as Blood Gulch has been reborn into Valve’s team-based shooter....
Harassment in online games is commonplace, as most game players can attest, but just how commonplace harassment in online games has always been a matter of perspective. However, a newly released study offers a look at just how widespread harassment has become. According to research from the Anti-Defamation League’s Center on Technology and Society, 74% of online game-playing adults have experienced some form of harassment. The study, which surveyed a broad audience of over 1,000 online game players, “explores the social interactions and experiences” of game players in America....
Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery has been available on Android and iOS devices for a short time now. While players are mostly enjoying their time in the free to play game, earning House Points and learning spells, some argue that the game’s microtransactions are taking the fun out of things.
