2022 was a big year for Disney+, featuring Marvel hits like Ms. Marvel and She-Hulk: Attorney-at-Law and Star Wars blockbusters like Obi-Wan Kenobi and Andor. In the last month of the year, however, the streamer is switching things up a bit. Disney+’s list of new releases of December 2022 is a smooth, subdued ride with no franchise tentpoles to be found. The closest thing Disney+ has this month to a big TV original is National Treasure: Edge of History on Dec....
In May 2013, Disney licensed the rights to make Star Wars video games to Electronic Arts, and the company immediately assigned projects based on the franchise to some of its top studios. However, rumors are circulating that Disney is not happy with how Electronic Arts has handled the Star Wars license, and may license the brand out to some of the company’s competitors, particularly Activision and Ubisoft. This rumor stems from Cinelinx, which cites sources close to the matter....
Grand Theft Auto 6 may be further out than initially expected, if new comments from publisher Take-Two Interactive are any indication. In its latest financial report, Take-Two reveals that GTA 5 and GTA Online’s success have led to longer lifespans than anticipated. Even though Rockstar Games did not release a new title in 2016-2017, the developer enjoyed tremendous success thanks to continued sales of Grand Theft Auto 5 and support for GTA Online....
Nightmare difficulty is the ultimate test of the player’s skill and understanding of mechanics in any Doom title. While some Doom games are easier than others, Doom Eternal is arguably the hardest entry in the series to date. This is mainly thanks to the speed of both the Doomslayer and demons in this installment. Core sandbox elements introduced in Doom 2016 have been altered to make this entry much harder than anything prior....
Dragon Age, Bioware’s fantasy video game series, has developed a large, loyal fanbase over the years. It’s only encouraged by the fact that the games ask players to create their own characters, make their own choices, and befriend their companions - who can blame fans for feeling attached to the world? Unfortunately, Dragon Age fans are also some of the most patient. Dragon Age: Origins, the first game in the series, was released in 2009....
Even if you’ve never heard of dril, you’ve almost certainly laughed at one of his tweets at some point. Much like the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park, dril just somehow finds a way. In case you’re not acquainted with “the best Twitter user on the internet,” dril is a Twitter account that got started in 2008 and has since grown to 1.6 million followers. He’s a character, although there is a real person behind the distorted Jack Nicholson persona....
With so many magical items available in the world of Dungeons and Dragons, it can be difficult to know exactly how each of them should be used. Some of the best ones are often used incorrectly, or inefficiently, and some players might even dismiss them as being worthless. But in rare cases, and if used properly, some of these magical items can be used to completely derail campaigns because of how potentially powerful they can be, and how much damage and mayhem they can cause....
[HTML1] Microsoft’s heavy hitters at E3 2015 were most certainly established IP that they are bringing back for Xbox One. The campaign gameplay reveal for Halo 5: Guardians was an absolutely incredible way to kick off the show, and the first ever gameplay trailer for Gears of War 4 had Microsoft’s conference ending on a very high note. With such massive games appearing during the conference, this meant that some of the smaller games and new IP did not generate as much buzz....
EA Access launched last year promising to give fans all sorts of bonuses such as early access to unreleased games along with discounts on popular titles and even some free access to titles in EA’s backlog.

It has been a bad few weeks for Electronic Arts and things only seem to be getting worse, as more and more stories about the company’s business practices surface. The most recent strike against the publisher is a new report that claims Plants vs. Zombies creator George Fan was fired for not supporting a pay-to-win model in PvZ 2. Super Meat Boy Creator Edmund McMillen shared Fan’s story in a recent episode of the BaerTaffy podcast, explaining the situation behind his mysterious firing....

Bethesda announces The Elder Scrolls Online Gold Edition, a re-release of the fantasy MMO that includes the base game as well as four DLC expansion packs. Over the past 18 months, Bethesda has made several major changes to The Elder Scrolls Online designed to draw even more players to the fantasy MMO.

After the recent launch failures of high profile games like Assassin’s Creed Unity and Halo: Master Chief Collection few could blame gamers for being wary of major releases going forward. Obviously those two games weren’t the first instances of gamers being burned, but they certainly established a more discerning perspective among this generation’s gamers. Now it’s more important than ever that developers test their online-focused experiences to ensure they work as promised on day 1....

We here at Game Rant can barely contain our excitement over Bethesda Softwares upcoming blockbuster; Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. The game has been handed an ‘M’ rating from the ESRB in North America, highlighting the games “blood, gore, intense violence, sexual themes and use of alcohol”. While recent news has given us 20 minutes of Skyrim gameplay footage and a look at the Collector’s Edition, it hasn’t hit home yet that after five years, The Elder Scrolls is finally set to return, especially with so many Triple-A games coming this fall....
Another month, another Fortnite leak. The latest update to the perpetually popular battle royale shooter comes with plenty of changes and updates to the game, including Summer Splash LTMs, new locations and challenges, as well as the usual new set of cosmetic items to purchase and unlock. Season 3 has already been rotating the LTMs for players to enjoy, as well as bringing back old favorites.

Not many Hollywood horror monsters will watch over you while you sleep or profess their desire for you but that doesn’t make Freddy Krueger a cuddly entity. Whereas baddies like Jason will simply deliver the killing blow, Freddy likes to toy with his victims, making the former’s blunt brutality seem like mercy by comparison. That’s also one of the reasons why Freddy Krueger actually has a lower kill count compared to other slasher monsters....
