The brand new DLC for Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot, A New Power Awakens, has now come and gone. The 250 power level of Beerus made him a worthy adversary, with his Sphere of Destruction and Beerus Ball now being two of the most annoying attacks in the game. But, what now— or, more accurately, what next? Bandai Namco’s current Season Pass reveals yet another thrilling boss battle, which is hopefully Zamasu and Goku Black or even Golden Frieza, followed by a vague New Story Arc....

This article contains spoilers for the Dune book and probably the movie. You’ve been warned. The first trailer for Denis Villeneueve’s Dune is here and it certainly doesn’t disappoint. Showcasing a spectacular all star cast, truly epic visuals, and a surprising Pink Floyd song choice, this looks like a faithful adaptation of Frank Herbert’s legendary sci-fi novel. Well…half of it, at least. Y’see, Warner Bros. and Villeneueve have (wisely) opted to split the book into two films....

This side-by-side footage of Final Fantasy VII and the game’s remake will have you wishing time away between now and March 3, 2020. We’re currently living in a time where the media world is being fueled with remakes and remasters. That is extremely true of the gaming sphere.

That was followed up with a Spyro remaster, and next week an up-to-date version of Crash Team Racing will hit the shelves....

Despite Star Wars being one of the most adored franchises in all of pop culture, many Star Wars fans feel let down by EA and its contract with Disney. Although the 10-year contract was signed nearly six years ago, EA has only released three Star Wars games so far, one of which is a mobile game. On top of that, EA’s use of microtransactions in Star Wars: Battlefront 2 at launch tainted EA’s credibility....

Humble Bundle has teamed up with Games Workshop and the Black Library to bring together some of their favorite audiobooks from the Warhammer universe and raise money for the EveryLibrary Institute. Games Workshop is a UK based tabletop studio famous for its popular war game series Warhammer Age of Sigmar and Warhammer 40,000.

The LEGO games have consistently pushed the boundaries of how many playable characters can be available in one game. Almost every time a new game in the series comes out, it boasts more playable characters than the previous game. Properties like LEGO Marvel Super Heroes and LEGO Batman have excelled at this, with the former reaching more than 200 playable characters. Now the series is going back to Star Wars, the property that started the LEGO game franchise as we know it, and LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is shaping up to have the most expansive roster of playable characters that players have ever seen....

In just over a decade Blumhouse Productions has gone from a very smart agile indie to possibly the most significant horror production company out there. It’s slate is huge, it most quickly and cheaply, trusts in its creators and favours originality and genuine scares. Though the pandemic has meant certain release dates have had to move, or not as yet locked in, it’s clear the Blumhouse juggernaut is showing no signs of slowing....

It’s very rare for a game to pick up a Game of the Year award two years on from its original release, let alone two of them. Thanks to a sudden surge in popularity last year though, that’s exactly what Among Us achieved. The game’s meteoric rise to the top can be largely attributed to the many Twitch streamers who helped to bring the title to a wider audience, although the team over at Innersloth also deserve a lot of credit and praise....

Rebellion’s Evil Genius 2: World Domination is a game for anyone who has ever watched a spy movie and thought they could do a much better job than the inefficient villains who always get their plans foiled. It doesn’t matter if your preferred style of villainy is Blofeld, Dr. Evil, or Pinky and The Brain; Evil Genius 2 allows you to flex your creative muscles in a bid for world domination....

The “polyworld” of Odd Wizard Studio’s Rebel World - Survive is waiting to be explored, and its aesthetic is appealing to adventurers, survival enthusiasts, and animal lovers. The survival-adventure looks picturesque and intriguing, as its current test-period phase creates an air of mystery. With only a few screenshots and vague plot details to go by, Rebel World - Survive is as beautiful as it is enigmatic. The setting is a fantasy polyworld with soft, colorful objects dotting the landscape, wildlife to accompany you, and there’s even a rustic pirate ship floating in the water....

The life of a manga artist is hard one where free time is not a luxury. Yet sometimes the hurdles of meeting deadlines cannot tame the need to complete a beloved game as proven by one legendary manga creator. Hiro Mashima, creator of the popular manga and anime series Fairy Tail, recently proved that his love for Final Fantasy 7 Remake triumphs the need for sleep. The author announced on Twitter that he achieved the platinum trophy for Final Fantasy 7 Remake, meaning he earned every other trophy in the game....

Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout is an interesting case, mixing the winner-take-all style of a battle royale with colorful obstacle courses reminiscent of game shows like Wipeout. When Fall Guys was given a PS4 and Steam release date during Devolver Digital’s showcase this month, it stood out as one of the more bizarre offerings. However, it has since proven its potential to stand among the greats by achieving a high viewership during its 48-hour beta this weekend....

Akira Toriyama has created one of the most iconic and influential manga/anime universes of all time. Within that universe resides a man, a prince to be more accurate, that is often imitated but never duplicated. A man so awesome that even when he’s losing (which happens more than it should) he looks cooler than most characters do winning. He is the quintennial “lancer” in the anime world, and one of the strongest characters to grace a manga scan....

Although Bethesda’s Fallout 76 has just been released a few days ago, the game soon found itself bombarded by negative user reviews. Now, to make matters worse for the game, some players are already using cheats to shortcut their way to nukes. While Fallout 76 takes place in a post-apocalyptic wasteland ravaged by nuclear devastation, there are still areas in the game’s world where players can find silos with fully-functional nukes as previously seen in the beta test....

Far Cry 3, Blood Dragon, and Far Cry 4 each had easy-to-earn trophies, and it appears Far Cry 5 is no different. Containing 1 platinum, 2 gold, 10 silver, and 38 bronze trophies, the upcoming action-adventure first-person shooter has a very nice mix of trophies that seems pretty easy to 100%. With Far Cry 5 set to release soon, some gamers may want to check these trophies out. However, it is worth noting that there are no spoilers on this list, as the unmissable trophies are described as hidden, and considering the season pass contains DLC related to Vietnam, Zombies, and Space, it seems like Far Cry 5 will ultimately be a wild ride for fans of the franchise....

Eagle-eyed Destiny fans spot a low-key reference to the game’s Necrochasm weapon in the credits of last night’s Treehouse of Horror Halloween special. With a player base in excess of 20 million, there should be little doubt that Destiny is one of the most popular games of the moment. However, last night’s episode of the The Simpsons demonstrated that the title has reached a whole new level of pop culture relevance....

rAlthough there’s no still no release date for Diablo 4, hype is steadily growing for Blizzard’s upcoming action-RPG.
