For the young child stars of Lost in Space, filming the cult classic was, possibly, the best childhood ever. 56 years later, series stars Bill Mumy and Angela Cartwright speak of their time as Will Robinson and Penny Robison, in the kinds of tones that make it sound like their adventures were on par with the Boxcar Children or Nancy Drew. “We go into the secret places,” they tell Den of Geek....
When you hear the name “Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty,” there’s a good chance that you simply think of the game itself and your memories of playing it. However, there’s an equally good chance that the mere mention of that name instead gets you thinking of its controversial debut and the ways it ushered in a new era of fan backlash. Granted, that’s a bold statement. After all, it’s not like fan backlash was a new concept at the time that Metal Gear Solid 2 was released to a…divided reception in 2001....
Xbox head Phil Spencer prepares gamers for a potential shock when Microsoft announces the price of next year’s high-end gaming console, Project Scorpio. When Microsoft first announced Project Scorpio most gamers were intrigued, maybe even excited, by the prospect of a more powerful current-gen console. With current consoles struggling to match PCs in terms of power, fidelity, and frame rate, Scorpio promised to bridge that gap and, in turn, deliver impressive gameplay to the console space....
Every character in Overwatch has their own stories associated with them with their history and abilities. These will all be expanded with the release of Overwatch 2, where players will be able to go through their stories through the eyes of the characters, and Reaper has more than enough potential to be one of the main focuses. Reaper, real name Gabriel Reyes, is one of the main villains present in Overwatch and is certainly going to be a threat when it comes to Overwatch 2....
Storm is one of most important characters in the history of Marvel Comics, in terms of both the representation of women of color in superhero comics and her pivotal role in many major storylines. The ability to control the weather makes Storm an Omega-level mutant in the Marvel universe, and she has the potential to be so much more in a Dungeons & Dragons setting. Storm is both a princess and one of the most powerful superheroes in the Marvel universe, but she grew up under harsh circumstances....
For many gamers, Resident Evil 6 is one of the most highly-anticipated titles of 2012. Featuring three playable protagonists, co-op multiplayer, as well as improved gunplay and movement mechanics, Capcom has also promised that the horror-action title will deliver plenty of scares - not just explosions - when it lands on consoles later this year. As the game’s release draws closer, the developer is lifting the veil on more and more features that supplement the core story campaign....

This article contains WandaVision spoilers. The Marvel Cinematic Universe doesn’t exactly have a great track record with female characters. There, I said it. Because despite the fact that these films feature some of Marvel Comics’ most recognizable women in Natasha Romanoff, Carol Danvers, Gamora, Janet Van Dyne, and Jane Foster, too many of these characters are often still stuck languishing on the sidelines, serving as love interests or plot devices, and sometimes both, if they’re lucky....
October is officially spooky season and it’s nice to know that some streaming services (coughDisney+cough) are taking that responsibility very seriously. For its new releases in October 2020, Hulu is premiering the Marvel TV universe’s first-ever outright horror series. Helstrom debuts on Oct. 16 and follows Marvel Comics character Daimon Helstrom as he struggles against all manner of demonic forces. Another spooky treat arriving this month is Monsterland on Oct. 2....
Earlier today, Bethesda and Machine Games revealed they’re working on a new Indiana Jones title. However, one eagle-eyed fan noticed that Todd Howard was teasing the game months ago. During an interview with Xbox about its recent acquisition of Bethesda, a few items from the Indiana Jones franchise can be seen on the shelves behind Howard. These include a miniature replica of the Ark of the Covenant and what looks to be a model of the Golden Fertility Statue from Raiders of the Lost Ark....
Anybody who follows the modern video game industry knows that it is not populated only by the goodhearted and charitable. With development teams constantly let go upon completion of award-winning projects, there is only a select few who are successful and seasoned enough to earn permanent employment. So when Infinity Ward co-founders and creators of Call of Duty, Jason West and Vince Zampella, forever changed the entertainment world with the release of Modern Warfare, it seemed that the rest would be history....
Injustice 2 may have only been released two weeks ago to widely positive reviews, but NetherRealm Studios is already hard at work on the upcoming plethora of DLC characters. Following Ed Boon’s tease of Red Hood last week, the developer has now released a brand new clip that gives an extended glimpse into the move set of Jason Todd’s alter ego and how he fares when pitted against various other DC characters....
About a month ago, a report from the financial information website known as MarketWatch revealed that Grand Theft Auto 5 has managed to become the most profitable commercial entertainment product of all time, even beating out every film ever made. Now, it looks as if the open world crime title’s success continues unabated, as Rockstar Games parent company Take-Two Interactive has just recently revealed that the game’s sales have surpassed 95 million copies to date....
Only a couple of days to go until preorders officially open for Indomitus, and Games Workshop still has some surprises up their sleeves, with some exclusive preorder bonuses available. With just over two weeks to go until its official release, it is hard to picture what else GW has in store for fans of tabletop wargame Warhammer 40,000. The 9th Edition is looking to be the most anticipated release yet, but despite the reassurances that plenty of the limited-run launch box set has been produced, GW has scaled back the maximum number of copies that can be purchased to 3 per customer, down from 6....
From what we’ve seen of Halo 4’s multiplayer so far, 343 Industries seems poised to do the impossible, and deliver an experience every bit as polished and refined as Bungie ever did. The most dedicated online pros seem to approve of its potential, but that doesn’t mean everyone has to take the online components of Halo 4 as seriously. After all, what’s more exciting that mixing classic Halo gameplay with zombie-movie paranoia and gunplay?...
For all the potential Halo Infinite has to push the envelope for the franchise, many fans came away from its big showing this week less than blown away. Most of the complaints so far have centered on Halo Infinite’s graphics, but in news that may upset people even more, it turns out they won’t be able to pet any of the animals they’ll come across. Of the many metrics used to gauge a game’s quality, few are quite as wholesome as whether a game lets players interact with its virtual animals....
It’s not uncommon to see AAA games like Halo Infinite take on brand deals and marketing promotions. Last month, Halo Infinite revealed a partnership with Monster Energy to offer players double XP, as well as the chance to win a brand-new Xbox Series X with the game packaged in. It appears that promotion will be continuing as planned, despite Microsoft announcing a major delay for the highly-anticipated title. Halo Infinite’s delay to an unannounced point in 2021, a result of development issues due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, was revealed earlier this week alongside the official November release window of the Xbox Series X....
Microsoft’s E3 2021 showcase unveiled the now-defunct Xbox Series X|S launch title, Halo Infinite, currently set to launch sometime in the ambiguous future. It’s been confirmed now that the multiplayer portion will be free-to-play, while the game itself is somewhat of a spiritual reboot, and later today, we’ll get to see even more of its PvP action. At 8 am PT, 11 am ET, and 4 pm GMT, the official Halo YouTube channel is running a stream dubbed “Multiplayer Overview” that is poised to give us a “deeper look” at its gameplay from the developers who worked on the title....
When all is said and done, the Harry Potter book series is 1,084,170 words long. So it’s only natural that, in fitting each novel into a roughly two-hour film, some story elements would need to fall by the wayside. Characters and entire subplots are chopped into bits and pieces to fit the new, abridged narrative structure. Peeves disappears entirely. This is why so many fans of literature always seem to prefer the book to the movie—how could they not, with all the sumptuous little details that text invariably seems to add to the experience?...
In a post on Twitter on Tuesday, Dave “Fargo” Kosak, lead narrative designer for Hearthstone and World of Warcraft, announced that he was leaving Blizzard Entertainment after 12 years at the company. Previously an executive editor and a founder of GameSpy, Kosak is now moving on to Deviation Games, a start-up that aims to “make the most engaging, innovative games on the planet,” according to its website. The designer took the lead on Hearthstone after Ben Brode left the company in 2018 to launch his own game studio, Second Dinner....
