Gran Turismo series creator Kazunori Yamauchi reveals that Gran Turismo Sport has been delayed until 2017, with the developer citing more time needed to perfect the game. For many long-term PlayStation fans, the Gran Turismo franchise is the racing series that is synonymous with Sony consoles. Gran Turismo has proved so popular over the years that there is even a movie in the works, and many gaming racers were looking forward to what the current console generation could mean for the series....

At this point, it’s safe to say that Rockstar Games open-world epic Grand Theft Auto 5 is one of the greatest games of all time, but even Rockstar couldn’t have imagined just how successful the game would be. Four years on since its initial release and the game shows little signs of stopping, with Grand Theft Auto 5 being named the most lucrative game of 2017. In a 2017 year in review report done by Superdata, the latest entry in the popular crime franchise was the most profitable game of the year, generating $521 million for Take-Two Interactive....

As fans will have surely noticed, Grand Theft Auto Online has had a real emphasis on racing lately. That’s been the whole focus this Spring. Next up, The Vespucci Job, a new mode clearly inspired by a certain movie you may have heard of. Oh, Grand Theft Auto Online. Truly, you are the gift that keeps on giving. When Grand Theft Auto V’s online component first launched on October 1 2013, it was… well, shambolic is probably the word that springs to mind....

How do you play a perfect person? That’s the challenge posed to actor Will Poulter, who’s preparing to play Adam Warlock in the upcoming Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. In a discussion with The Independent, Poulter described his process for getting into shape for the role. In short, it sounds a bit intense: “I wouldn’t recommend anyone do what I did to get ready for that job,” he told The Independent....

Finding that special someone is difficult. Finding that special someone during a global lockdown? Even more difficult. Alas, given the events of the past year, those looking for love have had to adapt to the new normal and use digital tools such as FaceTime and Zoom to navigate their dating life - for better or worse. Just in time for Valentine’s Day, Half Past Fate: Romantic Distancing - the follow-up mini-sode to the original romantic journey released nearly one year ago - is available now on Steam and Nintendo Switch....

Halo 3: ODST has arrived on PC as part of Halo: The Master Chief Collection. Originally released in 2009, Halo 3: ODST serves as a prequel to the events of Halo 3. Because of this, the famed Master Chief is not the playable character. Instead, the story follows six Orbital Drop Shock Troopers, with the largest emphasis on a character simply called, the Rookie. Halo 3: ODST isn’t a necessary game story-wise, but more quality Halo is never a bad thing....

Horror darling Hannibal was originally planned by creator and showrunner Bryan Fuller to run for seven seasons, but was sadly canceled after only three near-perfect ones. Pretty much ever since finale “The Wrath of the Lamb” aired back in 2015, the passionate Hannibal fandom has been asking for a continuation of the drama following the dysfunctional love story between Hannibal Lecter and Will Graham, based on the books by Thomas Harris....

Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery fans are still waiting for romance options to be added to the game, and while Jam City has yet to give an update about the feature, it has indicated in the past that it is in fact in the works. It’s unclear at this point if players will have a choice when it comes to romance options, or if love interests are set in stone. It’s also unclear if Merula Snyde, the popular character from Slytherin, will be a love interest or not....

While some fans have expressed frustration at the way Jam City slowly releases new story content for Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery, the studio does deserve credit for consistently running special in-game events. Jam City sometimes repeats events, but the latest in-game event for Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery is brand new, and includes the chance to unlock an exclusive cosmetic item. The new event in Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery is called Curse-Breakers, and it functions the same as previous events in the game....

After weeks of waiting, Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery has finally added Year 5 Chapter 3 to the game. This means that players can continue their Hogwarts adventures, take a brand new class, meet a new friend, and more. Upon downloading the latest update for Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery, players will need to redo the last part of Year 5 Chapter 2. Afterwards, they will then be able to visit the Kitchens to do their detention, which marks the first time that Hogwarts Mystery players have been able to visit the Kitchens in the game....

Roku had one of its best days on the market ever very recently, with stock prices at an all-time high of $329.48 per share. Earlier that same day the prices had surged by 11.7% to $352.12 per share. The cause of the spike was the announcement that Roku and WarnerMedia had finally reached an agreement in order to bring HBO Max to Roku services. This has been just another high point on a very solid year for the company, whose stocks have been up 146% since the same time last year....

Somewhere in the bowels of HBO right now, there is probably an executive smirking, “We have such sights to show you.” After all, the prospect of a big budget television adaptation of the Hellraiser franchise on the premium cable network would be a hell of a sight, indeed. Deadline was the first to report HBO has made a deal to develop a Hellraiser TV series with some big names attached, including David Gordon Green at the top of the list....

Every Saturday night of my youth was dedicated to the aptly named “Saturday Night Horror Film Festival.” Whether it was a Hammer classic, new chiller, or whatever Z-grade goof-fest we could find tucked away on a Blockbuster Video shelf, my father and I would carve out time to “get our horror on.” This consisted of many horror anthology films: the O.G. Tales from the Crypt film, Creepshow 1 and 2, Night Gallery, Tales from the Darkside, or my father’s personal favorite, Dead of Night....

Hollow Knight is a tricky metroidvania set in a delightful and enormous underground world. The sheer amount of lore and collectibles in this game are astounding, not to mention the variety of enemies and the scope of the map. Spells are one of the most important tools for defeating key bosses and opening up new locations, and as such, it’s in your best interest to fortify your Knight with as many of these spells as possible....

Few online communities are as invested as the one built around the webcomic Homestuck. Running from 2009 through 2016, Homestuck’s fans remain excited about seemingly all things related to the franchise and its creator, Andrew Hussie. Suffice to say, a new game from Hussie comes with a lot of excitement, as seen with a new title named Psycholonials. The game’s first chapter is now available to purchase and play on PC and mobile devices....

Although players who have pre-ordered the game will already have full access, Sumo Digitial has released a new trailer to mark the launch of the Robin Hood-inspired Hood: Outlaws & Legends. The new ‘We are Legends’ trailer brings all of the game’s classes together to show off how they all work together in battle. The bloody action is accompanied by Heart of a Lion (The Illusory Alchemist Remix) by Dubkiller and Mark Victor, and gives players a good idea of how the game works....

Hood: Outlaws and Legends is quickly becoming an anticipated upcoming game. The multiplayer PvPvE title tasks players with executing perfect heists, and so far developer Sumo Digital has been promoting the game via several class-focused trailers. Each trailer reveals a new way of playing Hood: Outlaws and Legends, and the latest one introduces the multi-talented Brawler class. The idea behind the Brawler class is that the character traded being a blacksmith for training in the ways of war....

I recently decided to replay Horizon: Zero Dawn as a means of celebrating its fourth anniversary. To this day, no other game’s narrative has enthralled me as much as Zero Dawn’s did. Set in a distant future where humans live in tribes and robotic creatures are top of the food chain, our protagonist, Aloy, begins a search for her mother that leads to her uncovering the mysteries of herself and the world....

This past summer, Mundfish revealed its new sci-fi horror project Atomic Heart, a game which pulls influence from franchises such as Bioshock, Fallout, and Metro, according to the development team. While the first-person adventure game shows promise in its early stages, no new details have surfaced from the studio based out of Russia until now. For the first time since its reveal, new details of Atomic Heart come in the form of a pre-alpha 10 minute gameplay video....

Red Candle Games is a Taiwanese game studio that released the horror game Devotion back in February. The game earned a great deal of praise for the short time that it was available on PC, but it was quickly pulled from sale after an easter egg was discovered that made fun of Chinese president Xi Jinping. Now we’ve learned that Devotion won’t be made available again anytime soon, and in fact, the studio’s publishing partner, Indievent, has had its business license revoked....
