The Nintendo Switch is in high demand and low supply amidst this COVID-19 pandemic. While the console is currently sold out at major retailers, the Switch Lite is not as scarce, yet. But those hell-bent on getting their hands on one will need to move fast. Nintendo’s handheld console is sold out nearly everywhere. Shoppers’ best bet at the moment lies with third-party sellers, and naturally, those offers are exorbitantly overpriced....
Since the days of Red and Blue, Pokémon has been full of secrets and glitches. Legends still speak of the Mew that can be found under the truck near the S.S. Anne. Alas, such rumours have been proven false, but many more have since been confirmed, and countless technical exploits have been uncovered as well. The expansive worlds of Pokémon lend well to player discovery, and reward those who delve deep and push the game’s boundaries....
With Hitman 3 coming later this month, aficionados of IO Interactive’s iconic stealth-action series are eager to finally jump into the climactic chapter of the studio’s World of Assassination trilogy. With the sequel’s release imminent, players are likely wondering what they’ll get if they go for one of the game’s more expensive special editions, and thanks to IO’s Community Developer Clemens Koch, they can now get a better look at the game’s priciest copy....
Horizon: Zero Dawn has certainly been recognized for its excellence in the past, as the open world action-adventure title from Guerrilla Games already won Best Original Game at E3 2016’s Game Critics Awards, but it looks like the accolades aren’t over yet. As it so happens, the PlayStation 4 exclusive has now been named as having the Best Original Score for a Video Game at the 12th Annual Jerry Goldsmith Awards....
Meet the Machines is a series of tweets that Guerrilla Games puts out to describe some of the new machine-based enemies that will be coming with Horizon Forbidden West. The tweets release sporadically, but they provide little summaries on the machine in question whenever they do. The last tweet Guerrilla released in the series described the Sunwing, one Horizon Forbidden West’s new flying machines. However, today’s tweet focuses on machines known as Tremortusks, land-based enemies that fans will recognize from the game’s announcement trailer....
When Sherlock debuted a decade ago on the BBC, it was unlike anything else on television. For one, the format was a bit odd: one season of three 90-minute episodes. For another, it didn’t look like anything else on TV: Text messages that appear as part of the mise-en-scène. Edits and scene transitions that move us elegantly and efficiently through space and time. All part of a visual language that brings us into the mind of one of the cleverest characters in all of pop culture as he does what he does best: solves mysteries....
In the first episode of 90s-set ITV drama Quiz, a group of men are devising a game show. Provisionally titled Cash Mountain, it involves players doubling their money with each correct answer on their way to the summit. Concerned that the concept’s too old-fashioned, a Birmingham accent comically suggests, “We could set it on an actual mountain. Like, a little one? Wales?” Cash Mountain didn’t go down the Welsh Outward Bound route but stuck to its questions-and-cash simplicity to become global smash hit Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?...

Hugh Grant has confirmed that he caught coronavirus at the start of 2020, describing his various symptoms as both embarrassing and panic-inducing as they developed. The actor, who is currently doing the rounds promoting his new psychological thriller miniseries The Undoing, where he stars opposite Nicole Kidman, didn’t paint a particularly fun picture of his COVID-19 experience when he popped up on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert this week....
If you haven’t had the chance to play Hyper Scape, now might be the perfect time – it was revealed during today’s Ubisoft Forward event that the game will be adding a Turbo Mode on September 15. Although it hasn’t revolutionized the battle royale genre in the way Ubisoft had planned, it’s still a unique take on the format and has garnered a dedicated following of players. Turbo Mode is a fast-paced new mode where you will only find max level loot, zones close faster, your health regenerates faster, and you’ll achieve a faster crown victory....
Last week we reported on a niche bit of marketing from Capcom, where they’d emblazoned a hill in Somerset with a chalk werewolf to celebrate the launch of Resident Evil Village. I jokingly said after posting the story that I’d go up and see it myself, before checking that the train would take nine hours due to weird connections where I live, and deciding that would be a ridiculous waste of my time....
Warning: contains spoilers for all episodes of The Secret . The importance of believing in yourself is continually urged, yet never with the warning that unchecked self-belief in the wrong hands is a grenade. Unchecked self-belief inflated by divine righteousness? That – as nobody with a refreshed newsfeed needs reminding – is a nuclear silo. In four-part true crime drama The Secret, James Nesbitt plays Colin Howell, a former dentist and ex-member of a Baptist church community in Northern Ireland’s Coleraine....
The human race has always been competitive. Since the dawn of time, man has always fought over the most trivial of things, such as “my rock is better than your rock.” I have no proof for this beyond anecdotal evidence and my own bias, much like this handy infographic which declares the Xbox 360 is winning the console war! The console war has really heated up this generation, arguably more than in past generations....
Following a recent gameplay footage leak depicting the Clown Prince of Crime on the receiving end of a beat down by The Flash, NetherRealm Studios has finally unveiled an official trailer that introduces the move set for Batman’s arch-nemesis, The Joker. As one would expect from the Jester of Genocide, the DC villain’s combat traits err on the side of black humor, as practically all of his abilities are couched within various corn-pone gags that have a decidedly deadly twist....
Dungeons and Dragons podcasts and streaming shows have become very popular, especially with the advent of so many digital tools for players and DMs to use in order to streamline their experience like Roll20 and DnD Beyond. Eric Silver is the host of Join the Party, and the DM/content creator sat down with Game Rant to talk Dungeons and Dragons, podcasting, and about his approach to the game and opinions on the direction that DnD is moving....
If you know anything about gaming, you know Nolan North. The prolific actor is best-known for his iconic turn as Nathan Drake in Naughty Dog’s blockbuster Uncharted series, but has also lent his talents to countless other roles over the years. But his latest performance, in Codemaster’s Dirt 5 (out November 6th,) isn’t what you might expect. Last week, I got the chance to sit down with the acclaimed performer and chat with him about his role and the fascinating recording process....

Whether you love or hate the idea of 80-year-old Harrison Ford donning the fedora once again, there’s still something comforting about seeing him in the hat while John Williams’ iconic “Indiana Jones Theme” plays on. Disney deployed that nostalgia with its usual precision, too, in our first teaser trailer for the newly christened Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. In the new James Mangold-directed sequel, Ford’s Dr. Henry Jones Jr....
A few tweets from Sledgehammer Games cause fans to start speculating that the next Call of Duty game could take the franchise back into the past during the 20th century. After a rocky start earlier in 2016, Call of Duty’s latest franchise entry, Infinite Warfare, seemingly found its traction becoming not only the most downloaded PlayStation 4 title this past November, but also becoming the top-grossing console game of 2016 in the United States....
On April 30th 1954, a Finnish-American actress, showgirl and pin-up named Maila Nurmi sashayed down a dark corridor fogged with dry ice, stopped on cue and unleashed a bloodcurdling scream. She was sporting her best faux-Morticia Addams dress, vampy fingernails, long black hair and an imperious expression. After the introductory trance and shriek that began every episode of KABC TV’s The Vampira Show, the host would recline on a skull-decorated Victorian couch and mockingly introduce one of any number of low-budget and no-budget horror films for her late-night television audience....
