It Looks Like Best Buy Will Have Playable Ps5 Demo Stations

Sony’s next-generation console, the PlayStation 5, is set to launch next week on Thursday, November 12.

It Takes Two S Latest Trailer Shows Off Its Unique Co Op Gimmicks

Revealed last summer during EA’s Play Live event, It Takes Two is a co-op action game from developer Hazelight and director Josef Fares.

Randomly this morning, publisher EA uploaded a new trailer with commentary from Fares that gives us a clearer idea of what to expect. It Takes Two essentially looks like an amalgamation of Hazelight’s past efforts....

Grand Theft Auto 6 Could Throw Fans For A Loop With One Key Change

Rockstar Games has a reputation not unlike Cyberpunk 2077 developer CD Projekt Red—that is, both developers may take years between high-profile releases but consistently deliver a high quality experience. For that reason, Cyberpunk 2077 is one of the most anticipated games of fall 2020, and Grand Theft Auto 6 is a hotly anticipated game period, even if its release is still years away. Living up to Grand Theft Auto 5, though, is a challenge for any game....

Gta V Player Unleashes Carmageddon With The Help Of Cheats

Chain reactions: they’re absolutely everywhere, from mediocre mid-90s action flicks, to upbeat Diana Ross pop hits, these cascading dominoes of destruction even make their way into the occasional video game-or-three. The latest title to take advantage of this gunpowder-trail plaything is none other than resident fire-starter Grand Theft Auto V. Released just over three weeks ago, the amazingly successful sandbox title may have already taken to the net, by way of stuttering multiplayer contingent GTA Online, but some eager anarchists appear keen to prove that there’s plenty left to enjoy (and eviscerate) on the singleplayer side of things....

Hacker Count Spikes During Call Of Duty Warzone Season 2

Call of Duty: Warzone is free-to-play, which means anyone can jump in on the first-person shooter experience at a low cost barrier whether they have good intentions or not. Since its release about one year ago, Call of Duty: Warzone has struggled from an influx of players who would rather hack than play their way to success. Publisher Activision recently banned more than 60,000 cheaters in Call of Duty: Warzone for using hacking software, but it seems this didn’t even deter cheaters....

Returning to school during the course of a pandemic holds a lot of risk. But teachers in Poznań, Poland have discovered a way of integrating virtual reality to keep students and staff safe, in Half-Life: Alyx no less.

Hitman Vr Turned Me Into One Punch Man

I’m not usually very good at exploring Hitman’s intricate level design, truth be told. There’s a sense of anxiety that looms over me whenever I play a stealth game, this sinking feeling that tells me I must not fail, must not be spotted. As a result, I just feel too burdened and nervous to actually play the game. Getting caught isn’t the end of the world, but I often feel like it will be....

House Of The Dragon Larys Strong Is The Tyrion Lannister Of His Day

This article contains spoilers for House of the Dragon episode 6. “Now is the winter of our discontent.” Those are the first words in William Shakespeare’s Richard III, the Bard’s most infamous “history” play and a continued source of inspiration for everything from House of Cards to Game of Thrones. Aye, George R.R. Martin’s beloved “A Song of Ice and Fire” text, and the HBO series it spawned, are obsessed with Richard, both as the Shakespearean fiend who basked at his own wickedness and in the historical personage that many students of history, including Martin, think got a raw deal....

How Blindspotting Led Carlos L Pez Estrada To Raya And The Last Dragon

When studio executives are asked about the lack of representation in chief creative positions like writer or director, a common Hollywood response is something along the lines of: there was no one other than a white guy who was qualified (phrased more diplomatically… usually). More recently, however, as it becomes more and more clear just how much money there is to be made by giving big-budget opportunities to more diverse creators, Hollywood studio executives have gotten better at reframing the idea of “qualified,” a term that has historically been used as a way to prop up systemic inequality rather than as a reflection of talent....

How Nancy Drew Succeeds As An Adaptation Where The Hardy Boys Fails

It is a truth universally acknowledged that every few years, a new on-screen adaptation of The Hardy Boys or Nancy Drew will arrive. Since the franchises’ first appearances on the page (1927 and 1930, respectively), we’ve all been collectively fascinated by the stories of spirited teens solving crimes that range from neighborhood theft to international espionage. But this year is perhaps the first time we’ve seen two appear so close to one another....

How The Breaking Bad Pilot Foretold Tv Greatness

Creating a pilot episode of television that can convince a network that your show deserves their time and attention is incredibly difficult. Once you’ve done so, morphing those novel ideas into concepts, characters, and plotlines that will resonate with the audience for many episodes to come is even more challenging. Viewers want something to latch onto when they first tune in for a new series. With so much to watch, they need to know that investing patience into a brand new show will pay off....
