Hunt: Showdown is one of the most unique and thrilling multiplayer experiences in gaming, and a brand new update is headed to consoles to expand on that heart-pounding fun. Update 1.3 for Hunt: Showdown launched on PC last month. Console owners have wondered when they will be able to enjoy all that is in store as well, and the community manager has commented on the game’s official Discord channel that update 1....
Pokemon Sword & Shield’s Crown Tundra DLC is finally here, and it makes the game feel more complete. A big part of that is the slew of Legendary Pokemon you can find in the Crown Tundra - another are the exciting ways you capture them. The Crown Tundra has Legendary Pokemon from every generation, almost as if to respond to fan complaints of Sword & Shield’s lacking PokeDex. Some of them have to be tracked down like in Pokemon Gold & Silver, and others come as part of a new activity called Max Lairs....

IO Interactive is being handed the reigns to the James Bond IP to make a video-game all about the suave womanizer with a… questionable history that stretches back as far as the 50s, but IO is giving its own unique take rather than adapting Craig, Moore, Connery, or whoever else. But, is IO ready? The short of it - no. The company was open about as much, but it intends to expand so that it can be ready for James Bond....

After the middling reception to Halo 4 and the disastrous release of Halo: The Master Chief Collection, there’s a lot riding on Halo 5: Guardians — both in terms of the future of the franchise, and of its developer 343 Industries. As a result, you can expect to see a huge marketing push for the sequel when it releases later in the year, and we may have just had our first glimpse of said push....
The Great British Bake Off is such a cultural phenomenon that it got its own official musical this year, with a West End run in early 2023, but is 2022 the year the show finally crumbles? There’s no denying this multiple-BAFTA-winning baking show is a top-tier hit: since its modest launch in 2010, it’s earned record ratings (up to 16 million), and that special kind of nationwide adoration most shows can only dream of, plus over 35 international versions, and even its celebrity charity spin-off The Great Stand Up To Cancer Bake Off regularly pulling in ratings of over five million....
It’s odd to think about how intertwined the once very secular Call of Duty gameplay modes have become. In 2008’s Call of Duty: World At War, a simple Easter egg introducing a fan-favorite zombies weapon into a campaign mission sent fans into a frenzy. Now, however, the experiences bleed into each other so significantly that it can be difficult for uninformed onlookers to tell them apart. With that in mind, recent discoveries in Activision’s battle royale offering Call of Duty: Warzone seem to suggest that zombies may be playing a huge part in the upcoming second season of Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War....
When EA started the EA Originals program to spotlight its indie program, Hazelight Studios took center stage and reinvigorated cooperative games. In 2018, Hazelight launched A Way Out, a story game that required two players to experience. Three years later, Hazelight has released another cooperative game called It Takes Two. In this game, players assume the roles of May and Cody, a couple going through relationship problems. Because the game is completely cooperative, most of the game’s achievements require the players to work together....
On the set of his final film, the low-budget (and poorly-lit) hippie-era shocker Dracula vs. Frankenstein (1971), J. Carrol Naish came to be known as a very professional and cordial man with absolutely no sense of humor. Well, maybe he had his reasons. Over the course of a career that stretched back to the silent era, he’d worked with esteemed directors like Fritz Lang, John Ford, and Anthony Mann. He’d co-starred with Bogart, Edward G....
Right before Grand Theft Auto V went about making a billion dollars and breaking several world records, Steven Ogg was just a hard working but little known Canadian actor with a few bit parts to his name. Now, he is part of the most successful entertainment release of all time. Embodying the unstable Trevor Phillips, Ogg has brought to life a fan-favorite character who is on the wild side with genuine layers of emotional complexity....
The original high school musical, Grease, premiered for Paramount Pictures in the summer of 1978. Now more than 40 years later, the Grease spinoff will premiere for Paramount’s streaming descendent Paramount+. According to Variety, the previously announced Grease spinoff, Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies, will be moving to Paramount+ from HBO Max. Paramount+ is the new streaming brand from ViacomCBS, which will be taking over for CBS All Access next year....
GTA 5 officially arrives on next-gen consoles this November, and odds are it’s going to be accompanied by a next-gen price. By the end of 2021, GTA 5 will be eight years old. Not just that, but it will have also been released on three different generations of console. Originally released on PS3 and Xbox 360, followed by the bulk of its life on PS4 and Xbox One, and PS5 and Xbox Series X|S this November....
CD Projekt Red has its hands full with Cyberpunk 2077, but that doesn’t mean its popular card game has been forgotten. Far from it, in fact, as the Way of the Witcher expansion is a massive free update for Gwent that’s coming to iOS, Android, and PC on December 8. Way of the Witcher will introduce 70 new cards to Gwent, all focused on the origins of witchers and their creator – the powerful sorcerer, Alzur....
After years of build-up, Microsoft finally revealed the first look at Halo Infinite’s campaign, showing Master Chief exploring a brand new, seemingly open world Halo ring. While many have praised the gameplay shown during the reveal, there has been no shortage of negative comments online, with Twitter flooded by people complaining about Halo Infinite’s graphics, especially since it’s set to be the Xbox Series X’s flagship title this holiday season....
Today’s Halo Infinite presentation wasn’t running on an Xbox Series X, it has been confirmed. Instead, the demo was running on a PC with similar specs to the Xbox Series X, Microsoft stated during a presentation about Halo Infinite. Gameplay demos running on PCs rather than official hardware isn’t out of the ordinary, but it is a bit strange that Microsoft decided to showcase Halo Infinite on PC first, even with comparable specs....
It’s official: the long awaited brand new entry in the Halo franchise is being delayed. One tweet from the official Halo account was all it took to break the hearts of fans everywhere, and Halo Infinite is no longer an Xbox Series X launch title. Instead, it’ll be coming out sometime in 2021. It’s a disappointing revelation, if not an overly surprising one, since the entire gaming industry is still grappling with the impact of COVID-19....
The Halo miniseries may finally start filming this fall, if a new report is to be believed. The Steven Spielberg-produced TV series is easily one of the biggest video game adaptations in the works right now, and it may finally be coming together. Alongside Spielberg, the Halo miniseries is produced by Darryl Frank, who is the co-president of Amblin Television. Amblin hopes to make the series live action, which will give it...
Showtime’s Halo TV show recently resumed production after taking a hiatus due to COVID-19. Fans can expect a familiar voice to return as one of the Halo series’ most iconic characters when the 9-episode first season premieres, as Jen Taylor is reprising her long-running role as Cortana for the show. Taylor replaces Natascha McElhone as the Master Chief’s AI companion, with her original actress dropping the voice role due to scheduling issues brought by the COVID-19 pandemic....
Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery may break established Harry Potter canon in some ways, but since it’s made under the Portkey Games banner, it’s apparently still telling a canonical story of Hogwarts in the 1980s. The game even reveals some new information about characters from the Harry Potter book and film series, specifically Hagrid’s dog Fang, and who gave him his name. For those who wish to discover this for themselves, please note that this article will have spoilers....
