One Doctor dying at Christmas is unfortunate, but two? That’s just cruel. They’re certainly going out on a high though, at least judging by the number of references and callbacks in the episode. It’s our longest one ever, so grab a mince pie, raid the spirits cupboard and join us for our traditional festive viewing notes. SPOILERS LIE AHEAD. Return to Snowcap We kick off proceedings with footage from William Hartnell’s final serial The Tenth Planet, which aired from 8-29th October 1966 and was also notable for the introduction of the Cybermen – specifically the ‘Mondasian’ variety last seen in Series 10 finale The Doctor Falls....

Remember the Noid, the clay-animated man in a bunny suit with thin rabbit ears (that may as well be antennae) who would stop at nothing to prevent Domino’s from delivering to your doorstep during every gaming session or party? Well, the classic pesky villain is coming back to terrorize both pizza delivery guys and Crash Bandicoot. Starting on May 7, for a limited time only, Domino’s is collaborating with King to bring the Noid to Crash Bandicoot: On the Run as one of the mini bosses, pitting Crash and Coco against the pizza-grubbing villain as they progress through the story....

As the months pass after Doom Eternal’s launch on consoles and PC, Switch players are still awaiting a port. The bad news is that no release date has been announced, but the good news is that it will be revealed soon. Developer id Software has confirmed that while no firm release date is in place for the Switch port of Doom Eternal, that news should be coming soon. During the recent panel at Gamelab Live 2020, id Software’s Marty Stratton gave an update on the anticipated third-party Switch release....

Dragon Ball is one of the largest and most popular anime franchises in the world. It’s as resonant with viewers in Europe and North America as it is in its country of origin, and it’s one of the few anime shows where characters have become household names, of sorts, even in America. It’s known for having many memorable heroes and villains who have given the franchise so much life over the last few decades....

Though it does have its fair share of low points, Dragon Ball Super’s “Tournament of Power” was still a thrill ride with a multitude of twists and turns, both in the manga and anime. Injecting these experiences into Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot, however, may not be as easy as simply recreating the scenes from the show. The game may well have utilized a majority of iconic scenes from the anime, but several changes were made to keep the narrative fresh and inviting....

Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot fans are eager for DLC 2, hoping that it may provide the game with some much needed longevity, but many are unclear as to when it may actually arrive. To be plain, there is no official release date for Kakarot’s second DLC yet, but speculation affords some insight as to when it is most likely to arrive. With that in mind, readers should understand that this is just that, speculation, and Bandai Namco could come out of left field at any time with an actual announcement about the game’s second and penultimate DLC offering....

Dungeons & Dragons has changed a great deal since its creation, which has been helped by the numerous different writers who have learnt from the mistakes of their predecessors and have managed to improve the game with each new iteration of the rules. One of the biggest changes to Dungeons & Dragons has come in the form of the character classes, which have had their abilities altered many times over the years....

In 5th Edition Dungeons & Dragons, subclasses let players add some flair and personality to the standard classes. They are great for homebrewers, since they let players create character options with a strong theme without making a full class progression. However, there are certain things to consider when homebrewing subclasses for different classes. Here are some tips for making a Druid Circle, either for personal use or publication. Spells On A Theme Some druids get an expanded spell list as part of their subclass....

Electronic Arts reveals the first trailer for Fe, which is one of many indie games the company hopes to produce as EA Originals following the success of Unravel. After the success of Unravel (which Game Rant loved), EA is attempting to put more focus on supporting indie studios with the EA Originals initiative. The indie friendly branch of EA was announced on stage at EA Play and to kick things off, the company brought out a developer to share some details about one of the initiatives first projects....

Electronic Arts is officially done with the Online Pass. After all but making the controversial requirement a fundamental part of their business model, the publisher today announced they would no longer be included an Online Pass with any future games. Online Passes have become a regular feature for games with any form of multiplayer experience. EA’s Madden and Battlefield franchises, for example, have supported an Online Pass in recent iterations. Going forward, however, that will no longer be the case....

An internal email from developer and publisher EA has been leaked online, revealing some of the company’s upcoming plans for 2018. The email was accidentally sent to a Reddit user by the name of OldSoul2 and contains details of two major titles; Fe and A Way Out, including campaign roadmaps for both games. As the information has not been verified by EA, there is a possibility that this is a hoax, but the detail of the leaked image suggests that it could well be authentic....

This article comes from Den of Geek UK. No one needs another adaptation of Jane Austen’s Emma–we already had a perfectly acceptable one headed up by Gwyneth Paltrow in 1996, a BBC miniseries in 2009 starring Romola Garai, and the absolutely joyful Valley Girl spin on the story in 1995’s Clueless. Emma. 2020 is actually the fourth theatrical version of the story while there are eight TV adaptations in total. But where’s the harm?...

Diablo 4 has been relatively quiet recently. It’s to be expected, in a sense, as fans have a decent picture of what to expect from the game. Right now, Blizzard is probably buckling down and working hard on development. It might still be a long time before the game is out, considering there’s no release date attached to it, so patience is required of the fans. However, there’s still a particular area that Blizzard has gone many months without filling out: the class roster....

After months of anticipation, Microsoft has finally unveiled footage of games running natively on the Xbox Series X. So far, the results look like a subtle improvement. Halo Infinite, the big game of the day, was mostly an incremental upgrade in terms of raw visual fidelity. It did run at a silky smooth 60 FPS, though, and that’s far more important. Without dawdling around too much, we’re going to jump right into the recap here....

Few gamers expect the latest technology to be cheap, but Nvidia’s pricing of its new gigantic GeForce RTX 3090 flagship card surprised many people. At $1499, the Founders Edition card is certainly not cheap, but an accidental listing by hardware site Newegg US reveals that many custom cards from Nvidia’s hardware partners are going to be priced considerably higher. Redditor MRizkBV spotted the listings, which detailed eleven new Nvidia RTX 3090 cards from four major hardware partners like Asus, EVGA, Gigabyte, and MSI....

Fall Guys generated $185 million on PC sales alone during its first month. The most successful launch on the platform since Overwatch. Almost two months on from the release of Fall Guys, the game’s hype train has died down every-so-slightly. That’s to be expected, of course. What wasn’t expected was the amount of success it achieved right off the bat. It felt like it was all anyone was talking about throughout the entire month of August....

Over the weekend, Twitter user TheMachoMando (which is a great name, by the way) shared pictures of what appears to be a Fallout series set complete with rusted-out vehicles parked outside of an abandoned supermarket. While the store’s sign is missing some letters, others are more intact and clearly read “Super-Duper Mart.” If that name sounds familiar, you probably played Fallout 3. After all, that bombed-out market is one of the first places players visit in that game after leaving Vault 101....

Of the many games releasing later in 2021, Far Cry 6 is one that many in the gaming community have had their eye on for a while now. With the game taking place in a brand-new, inventive setting, featuring new gameplay implementations, and with Giancarlo Esposito leading the way as the game’s primary antagonist, there’s a lot for people to be excited about where Far Cry 6 is concerned. However, after delaying Far Cry 6 back in November of last year, there hasn’t been too much by way of official news regarding the development of Far Cry 6....

Bungie has introduced an official gear management app within the Destiny Companion available through Internet browsers, offering it to all users in an open Beta. Apart from the moment-to-moment first person shooting, Destiny is a gear game. Players collect and work towards earning better armor and weapons with every activity they complete in Destiny, and the need for better gear pushes them forward. Some have built up extensive collections within the game, in fact, pushing the limits on their Vaults, even when Vault Space was increased....

Ever since Diablo 4 revealed its first three classes (the Barbarian, the Druid, and the Sorceress), fans have been debating what the other two launch classes are. At Blizzconline, this question was partially answered. The fourth class confirmed for Diablo 4 is the Rogue, something that many RPG fans can be familiar with. Combining quick action, stealth, and precision deadliness, this class fits in nicely with the meatier Barbarian and the magic Druid and Sorceress....
