When Terry Silver (Thomas Ian Griffith) announces “Today is a turning point at Cobra Kai,” he means it. Every season of this show has ended in a game-changing cliffhanger. Last season, Sam’s (Mary Mouser) shocking loss to Tory (Peyton List) at the All Valley Karate Championship forces Daniel (Ralph Macchio) and Johnny (William Zabka) to close their dojos, Miyagi-Do and Eagle Fang respectively. Silver is poised to take over the whole valley with Cobra Kai dojos....

In a year ravaged by a pandemic, economic disaster, earthquakes, power outages, and murder hornets, humanity was desperately in need of a respite, something to reintroduce a little happiness into our lives. Enter Fall Guys, the new party game from developer Mediatonic and publisher Devolver Digital. “Fall Guys seems purposefully built to forever dominate Twitch streams, YouTube Let’s Plays, and social media, mainly because it offers up enough calamitous humor and joy that it’s even fun to watch other players bumble their way towards the finish,” wrote our reviewer in his analysis of the game and he couldn’t be more right....

As Go Battle League Season 2 finally returns, Pokemon GO trainers are able to get back to the competitive scene of PvP battling and continue to hone their skills. There may not be a Leaderboard to climb anymore (at least for now), but that isn’t stopping players from trying to be the best there ever was. For players who may want even more of a challenge than the current three-tier PvP league structure, the latest datamine hints that a new kind of PvP challenge is on the way to the mobile AR game....

After Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy announcement, many fans were quick to compare the title to other games, from Anthem to Mass Effect. Judging from the new details, you’d better not expect too much freedom from it, as Guardians of the Galaxy is a strictly story-driven adventure. In a new issue of Game Informer magazine, Eidos-Montréal developers shed more light on the game’s structure. As you may know, players will take a role of Peter Quill (Star-Lord), and won’t be able to control other characters directly — only through commands in battle....

A hacker has managed to fix a Super Mario 64 bug that’s been around for two decades -and that people hadn’t really realized was a bug in the first place - by changing one line of code. Yesterday, said hacker - Ryan Bloom - tweeted out a pair of images comparing the before-and-after effects of changing that one line of code, saying the following: Turns out, the black smoke effect you’re familiar with that emanates from Mario upon being scorched by fire has been bugged all along....

Halo Infinite was something of a controversial game last year. It was announced as a launch title for the Xbox Series X, but as many fans know, it got delayed to 2021. While not confirmed, many speculat that it was in large part due to fans’ response to the game’s long-awaited reveal. The community wasn’t as excited about what they saw as 343 Industries hoped and the studio was facing setbacks due to the ongoing pandemic, so the game got more time in development....

Born on April 11, 2154, Commander Shepard is officially -133 years old today. The hero of the Mass Effect trilogy is just 29 when things begin in the first game, and the galaxy’s fight against the Reapers only takes a few years to wrap up. I’m in the group of folks who were fine with the way Mass Effect 3 ended things at large - I didn’t mind choosing between green, blue, and red....

One thing about the origins of the Marvel Cinematic Universe that’s easy to forget these days is that much of the Avengers stuff was inspired by the Ultimate Marvel comics, specifically The Ultimates. This especially went for Hawkeye, who had little to do with his mainstream comic self and far more with Ultimate Hawkeye. His uniform, SHIELD black ops status, and even his family were taken from the Ultimate Marvel comics....

Streaming service HBO Max is increasing the price of its ad-free subscription for the first time since its introduction more than two years ago. The subscription price hike, which will go into effect immediately, raises the price from $14.99 per month to $15.99 per month and makes it one of the most costly options for streaming fans. Those unwilling to spend so much for their streaming TV can still choose the ad-supported option however - and it remains priced at the same $9....

Blizzard drops the nerf hammer in Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft and also announces a big change for the game’s Ranked Play ladder that should help reduce player anxiety. Ever since Blizzard released the Mean Streets of Gadgetzan as the latest expansion for Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft late last year, the game’s meta and ranked ladder has been dominated by gamers playing two specific decks: Aggro Shaman and Pirate Warrior. Both decks attempt to swarm the board with minions from the start of the match and each deck has enough firepower to quickly emerge victorious, sometimes as soon as Turn 4 or 5....

Helltaker is a smart, funny, and most notably free puzzle game with no microtransactions and a killer soundtrack, so there’s basically no reason not to play it, except maybe for the difficulty. Vanripper’s independent hit has earned a reputation for its punishing challenge, intimidating certain players as a result. But have no fear, this easy-to-follow guide will walk you through the whole main campaign so that you can take all of hell for yourself while only scratching your head if it itches....

The Final Fantasy series has been wearing its references on its sleeve since the beginning. The first Final Fantasy game was heavily rooted in Dungeons & Dragons, to the point where it needed to be edited in order to prevent a lawsuit. The later Final Fantasy games heavily referenced other series, like Star Trek and Star Wars, to the point where entire websites were dedicated to cataloging all of them....

Mads Mikkelsen had major influence over the creation of upcoming PlayStation exclusive Death Stranding, and not in the way you might think. The actor, best known for his role in hit TV show Hannibal, plays Cliff in the game and apparently prompted creator Hideo Kojima to make Cliff a heavy smoker due to his own personal habit. Kojima was quite active on Twitter leading up to Death Stranding being announced and continues to share tidbits here and there....

Horizon Forbidden West has done the impossible and made fans across the globe excited for underwater levels, but there’s a lot more depth than you might have expected. It’s not just swimming. “Exploration is really the theme,” narrative director Benjamin McCaw said, “And it’s not enough for us to just show underwater. We wanted to make sure that it’s every bit as beautiful as what you see in the natural world above it....

Nvidia’s latest and greatest in graphics technology, the RTX 3000 series cards released last year to great reviews. As expected, this generation of cards has provided significant gains to the ray-tracing experience to users, which is considered to be the bleeding edge of PC/Console graphics. While the cards may be the best gaming-oriented Nvidia GPUs that money can buy, the hardware shortages have seemed to hit consumers hard, especially those who were waiting out on their release for an upgrade....

If there’s one thing everybody knows about the krogan, it’s that Wrex and Grunt are both rocking quads. Yep - each and every one of these reptilian bruisers has four balls. According to lore from the first Mass Effect game, krogan are renowned all over the galaxy for their unique backup organs. They’ve got two hearts, four lungs, and a whole secondary nervous system, meaning that their survivability is pretty much unparalleled....

With the news of Terraria 1.4 is arriving on consoles (soon), we have to tell you that the way meteorites work in 1.4 is not the same way they did in 1.3. So don’t worry if the meteor event isn’t spawning on your world after destroying Shadow Orbs or Crimson Hearts.
