While some might expect the Grand Theft Auto franchise to be exclusively about stealing cars based on its namesake, Grand Theft Auto Online has a great many rare and interesting vehicles for GTA players to buy. The game added a strange item to its garage today in the form of the Nagasaki Weaponized Dinghy. There are a great many regular cars, motorcycles, and more that can be purchased throughout Los Santos, but developer Rockstar Games has also not been shy about letting its players pick up some more outlandish offerings to impress their friends and terrorize NPCs....

In 2014, when the Marvel Cinematic Universe was proving itself to be a huge success of a project and Phase 2 was in full swing, Guardians of the Galaxy was seen as a big gamble. Instead of adapting a Marvel mainstay from the 1960s, they were making a movie based on a space-based superhero team that existed briefly in the mid-00s. Marvel was going to be expanding their universe with an adventure starring the chubby guy from Parks and Recreation and a professional wrestler....

For longtime fans of Halo, Halo 5: Guardians is both the most anticipated game coming out this year as well as the one that makes them the most nervous. Even though Halo should be a surefire bet, there are some that are not confident in 343’s abilities to deliver after the Halo: The Master Chief Collection online debacle, and due to the fact that the game is making a lot of changes to the established Halo experience....

Halo has teamed up with various manufacturers to offer a brand-new lineup of Master Chief-inspired toys. From a massive Energy Sword replica to Mangler Nerf guns, there’s bound to be something fun that catches your eye. The coolest products – in my humble, nerdy opinion – are the ones created in collaboration with Mega Construx. Starting today, you’ll find a range of incredible Halo-Mega Construx products on store shelves. These include the 25-inch Energy Sword, Master Chief Helmet, and the Forerunner Ring Installation....

The Pathless was made playable for the first time at PAX East in Boston last weekend after a stunning reveal trailer dropped in December. The game comes from Giant Squid, developers of Abzu, and is being published by Annapurna interactive. I got to demo the game with Matt Nava, Creative Director and Co-Founder of Giant Squid who also served as the Art Director on Journey. The Pathless shares Journey’s stunning vistas, fluid locomotion, and sense of wonder and exploration....

One of the more interesting looking indie games that have been teased this year, and one of the more interesting looking co-op games in particular, has been Haven, the sci-fi romance from developer The Game Bakers. It’s been quite a wait, but the game has finally made its way onto PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox systems today, and with its launch comes the first reviews. A sharp contrast from The Game Bakers’ previous title, the bullet hell/hack-and-slash action game Furi, Haven is a chill RPG focusing on the relationship between its two protagonists, Yu and Kay, as they try to make a life for themselves on a strange and seemingly uninhabited planet....

Sony has finally pulled back the veil on titles coming to the PlayStation 5. In an event titled “The Future of Gaming,” millions got their first look at new and returning games that they’ll be playing on Sony’s latest box this holiday season. It wasn’t the best stream around, but you definitely won’t be hurting for exclusive content come the PS5’s launch. If you’re looking for a quick recap of everything revealed, then you’ve come to the right place....

Hideo Kojima is known for hiding Easter Eggs, little mysteries, and neat surprises in all of his games, and this extends to the Metal Gear franchise as well, of course. Sometimes these Easter Eggs aren’t discovered until well after the game has released (as was the case with Hideo Kojima referencing his own firing from Konami in a Metal Gear Solid 5: Ground Zeroes Easter Egg), but players of Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain have already discovered numerous Easter Eggs in the massive game....

The HeroQuest fans who started it all have a chance to get in on the reboot fun… If they’re willing to put down some serious cash. Hasbro revealed plans to bring the new HeroQuest to UK stores next fall, but only the most expensive edition. HeroQuest was a formative board game for many UK players. One TheGamer writer recalls how she and her siblings made up silly songs to remember the fundamentals of dungeon crawling....

While taunting opponents in a first-person shooter is a well-worn practice, sometimes it can backfire. Activision’s battle royale Call of Duty: Warzone has had plenty of examples, such as a recent clip of a teabagger getting killed by their downed opponent, or another of one player’s execution as Captain Price that leaves them wide open. The execution clip was uploaded by Reddit user pinkasfloyd7 to the r/modernwarfare subreddit today, and almost looks like something out of a movie....

Whenever a new Hitman game is released, the time comes to evaluate Agent 47’s style choices yet again. The character has worn hundreds of disguises in the last two decades or so, with Hitman 3 bringing in a few more fans to indulge in. That’s not to say that 47 has looked great in every outfit. Far from it, actually, as 47 has even lost his intimidating aura at times when certain get-ups make him appear like a goofball....

In a new developer video, Guerrilla Games details the process of how many of the animal and dinosaur inspired machine enemies in Horizon: Zero Dawn came to be. After the surprising new gameplay featured during the PlayStation Pro event last month, the team at Guerrilla Games is giving fans a closer look at the world of Horizon: Zero Dawn. As seen in previous trailers, some major event has managed to push humanity to the brink, forcing the survivors into smaller nomadic tribes, while machine like animals have taken over a landscape reclaimed by nature....

The movie industry, despite Covid complications and continued production troubles, is still making agreements and signing deals as it can. One of the more recent announcements in the field of contracts is that Blumhouse Productions, mostly known for its lower budget horror films, has recently made a deal with filmmaker Rob Savage to collaborate on three new movies. Blumhouse reportedly became interested in signing the director after seeing his recent horror film Host, which released to positive reviews from critics and audiences....

During the 2020 Game Awards, players were given their first look at the newest game from Turtle Rock Studios, Back 4 Blood. Meant as the spiritual successor to Valve’s classic Left 4 Dead franchise (which Turtle Rock originally developed for Valve), the game showed off both a cinematic and gameplay trailer during the Game Awards which seemed to set the tone for players looking for that intense co-operative experience created by its predecessors....

This article contains Fistful of Vengeance spoilers. “Like the Avengers…but Asian.” When Tommy (Lawrence Kao) quips this line in a Fistful of Vengeance, it’s almost meta. Fistful of Vengeance is the feature film sequel to Netflix’s 2019 10-episode martial arts driven series Wu Assassins. It is produced in the same spirit as Fox’s Firefly and Serenity or Netflix’s own Sense8 by the Wachowskis (which also had a lot of martial arts....

Emily Blunt was in a different place three years ago. That, of course, applies to most people. But back then, in the lush jungles of Hawaii and filming opposite Dwayne Johnson, she was a million miles from the hushed hell endured by the Abbott family in A Quiet Place, which was just becoming the surprise horror hit of 2018. She had no intention of going back. The sentiment is understandable. In fact, it was initially shared by her husband, writer-director-actor John Krasinski, who, like his wife, was skeptical about the prospect of making a follow-up, even in our modern era of shared universes....

“The horn of Helm Hammerhand shall sound in the Deep one last time!” – King Théoden The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim is the title that this most intriguing of projects will brandish. The feature, a studio collaboration between New Line Cinema and Warner Bros. Animation, will see veteran anime director Kenji Kamiyama (Ghost in the Shell SAC_2045, Cyborg 009: Call of Justice) tackle the Tolkien-crafted story of Helm Hammerhand himself....

Sure enough, screenwriter Paul Dehn was asked to immediately get to work on a new story following Escape‘s release. The next one would follow Milo, renamed Caesar by circus owner Armando (Ricardo Montalban), as he laid the groundwork for the series of events that would bring about humanity’s downfall and make apes the dominant civilization on Earth. Released 50 years ago this week, Conquest of the Planet of the Apes was directed by J....

Stop me if you’ve heard this one: a new Pokemon Go event is announced, and a new Mega Evolution debuts with it. As a longtime player, you’re excited to add a new Pokemon to your collection. Especially when it’s something like Mega Gyarados, the souped-up form of a very popular classic Pokemon. You go out (mask on, of course) and see several Mega Gyarados raids awaiting your challenge. You click on one… but there’s no one in the lobby....

The Gulag is one of the many new features that Call of Duty: Warzone has added to the battle royale genre, and it has seemingly split players down the middle since the game’s March 10 release. Although the idea of giving players a second chance at securing the win is a good one, there are definitely some ways to improve the feature. The Gulag spawns you and an opponent with the exact same loadout, providing you with either a shotgun or a pistol, a lethal and tactical grenade, and allowing the last man standing to redeploy into the battlefield....
