With movie theaters reopening, increasing numbers of vaccines going into people’s arms, and numbers continuing to trend in the right direction, Marvel Studios wants you to remember the cinematic experience is important to them. Not only that, they want to remind you about how good it felt to cheer along with the climactic “Avengers assemble!” moment in Avengers: Endgame, and they’re promising that there’s more good times to come. To that end, they’ve released a sizzle reel with highlights from recent years, and teases of what’s next on their theatrical agenda, from Black Widow this July to Guardians of the Galaxy in May of 2023....

Disney and Pixar are creative companies that both have a well-established history of creating countless childhood legends. From their memorable characters, to the depth of their world-building, it’s clear that these two animation powerhouses know exactly what they’re doing when it comes to crafting memorable and meaningful movies. Whether you’re into Walt Disney’s classic hand-drawn animated films, like Snow White And The Seven Dwarves and Alice In Wonderland, the 90s childhood-defining movies of Michael Eisner’s Disney Renaissance, like Beauty And The Beast and Aladdin, or Pixar’s contemporary 3D animated masterpieces, like The Incredibles or Toy Story, these companies truly have something to offer for all audiences and ages....

DOOM Eternal’s post-credits scene is great and totally justifies finding all those toys. Last Friday, DOOM Eternal arrived with as big a splash as can be expected when we’re all being told to stay indoors and avoid all human contact. Which is fine with most of us, since we’ve got some demons to slay. While the wanton murder of demons and those possessed by demons is the main purpose of DOOM Eternal, like the 2016 reboot, Eternal also has the Doom Slayer finding collectibles by searching out hidden secret areas....

It’s no secret that Cyberpunk 2077 could have done with a bit more time in the oven. This feeling doesn’t just come from players, but also its own developers, who initially worked on the premise it would have a 2022 release date. With the actual release date being around two years before what developers were preparing for, a lot of stuff was left on the cutting room floor - and one player has unearthed a lot of it....

It’s been almost ten years since BioWare’s Dragon Age: Origins released on the PC, PS3, and Xbox 360. Although DA4 was officially confirmed a few months ago, a fan-created mod for DA:O recently surfaced to fix several bugs and restore some hidden content that BioWare was unable to implement in the final build. The mod, called Qwinn’s Ultimate DAO Fixpack, attempts to fix over 790 bugs that affected the game’s overall performance....

Since he was announced last month, players have been eagerly waiting for news of when they can expect Master Roshi to join the growing roster of fighters in Dragon Ball FighterZ. The old man is a fan favorite that players have been asking for since the game released, and now it seems they won’t have to wait long before they can get their hands on him. Bandai Namco Esports confirmed via a tweet that players will be able to start playing as Master Roshi on September 16 for Early Access players and September 18 for everyone else....

Bandai has inadvertently announced Dragon Ball FighterZ, a new fighting game, being developed by Arc System Works. The developers are responsible for other fighting titles such as Guilty Gear and BlazBlue. The source of the leak was a japanese press release dated June 12th, the Monday of E3, which was more than likely the date they were hoping to announce the game on. Little about the game is currently known, aside from two pieces of information....

With almost a year passing by since Dragon Quest 11: Echoes of an Elusive Age was officially confirmed for release in North America, Hokuto Okamoto, the game’s producer, has officially announced the release date of the anticipated game. After only being available in Japan, Dragon Quest 11: Echoes of an Elusive Age will be releasing exclusively on PS4 and Steam in North America on September 4, 2018. Okamoto gave a statement saying that this title serves as a “new beginning,” even though this is the latest installment in the franchise....

Strong, stocky, and sassy dwarves are a common trope in fantasy but you’ll probably be hard-pressed to find someone tougher and more battle-hardened than Bruenor Battlehammer of the Dungeons & Dragons mythos. He’s the “dwarfest” dwarf of them all and is one of the most celebrated and influential members of the Companions of the Hall, a Forgotten Realms spin-off party penned by R.A. Salvatore himself. Bruenor is one of the figurative glues that hold the party together and it is his adventures and heritage and grew both the reputation for the Companions and for Drizzt as well....

One of Dungeons and Dragons players’ favorite things about the tabletop RPG is how conducive it is to making characters that simply couldn’t exist in real life. Not only can people play a gnome wizard or an elfin criminal rogue in DnD, but they can also explore backstories and personalities that they don’t embody in real life. Some experienced players describe the pastime as a combination between writing, acting, improvisation, and strategizing....

There’s a quote that’s attributed to Plutarch, although actually from Die Hard villain Hans Gruber: “And when Alexander saw the breadth of his domain, he wept, for there were no more worlds to conquer.” Well, the developers of Anno 2205 have solved that problem: if there’s no land left on Earth, go to the moon instead. Space travel is one of the big gameplay changes that Ubisoft’s bringing to the sixth installment of the long-running strategy/city-building series....

With the constant bombardment of DLC, add-on content and controversial microtransactions, it’s hard not to feel nickel and dimed at every turn these days in the video game industry. So it’s a pleasant surprise when a publisher does something nice for gamers, like giving away a game for free. That’s exactly what publisher Electronic Arts is doing right now on their online game market Origin. For a limited time, you can pick up SimCity 2000 Special Edition “On the House....

Epic Games has released new data regarding its 2020 wrap-up, including the most popular games purchased and played on the platform for the year. Several of these aren’t very surprising, while others garnered more attention than some fans gave them credit for. Overall, the Epic Games Store list spans multiple genres and covers many different bases in terms of gamer playstyles. There are ten top games for the year that stand out among the others....

The Elder Scrolls 6 is one of the most hotly anticipated titles of the coming decade. However, with almost no news released by Bethesda since the initial teaser trailer dropped in 2018, many fans are becoming increasingly impatient to return to Tamriel. It has been almost ten years since the release of Skyrim, and since then many Elder Scrolls fans have been enjoying The Elder Scrolls Online from Zenimax Online Studios, set in the same world....

With Remnant: From the Ashes, not only does the world bring rich content to players that’ll keep them both on their toes and engaged, but also, it rewards them for their deeds, taking out bosses, enemies, doing maps, dungeons, and other activities. Finding each of these bosses, depending on their popularity within the story, can be either an easy task or one that will require a re-roll of the entire campaign to get them to spawn....

If the $70 price tag is too steep for Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart or you haven’t managed to nab a PlayStation 5 just yet, fret not. Naughty Dog has you covered. All four main Jak and Daxter games are currently 50% off in Sony’s latest sale. During the PlayStation 2 era, they were the sister series to Insomniac’s Ratchet & Clank, so it’s a fitting time to celebrate. However, the four games are not the PlayStation 3 HD ports, but rather the PlayStation 4 emulation of the originals, so you can dive into the fun on your latest hardware....

Following Fallout 76’s less than stellar launch and the multiple controversies attached to the game–be it related to the canvas bag debacle or the security breach revealing users’ personal info–there’s no doubt that Bethesda has been having a rough time as far as public relations are concerned. Now, it looks as if the company may face yet another PR storm, as some fans of the post-apocalyptic RPG series are expressing their disappointment after discovering that $80 bottles of the licensed Nuka Dark rum inspired by the games come in plastic....

Now that the PS5 and Xbox Series X have arrived, the gaming community is calling for old classics to be revived. Ubisoft Montreal’s Star Wars: Episode 3 - Revenge of the Sith is the latest title to be petitioned, and while it’s doubtful that it will receive a rejuvenation, it is nice to reminisce. Revenge of the Sith was released for Xbox, Game Boy Advance, Nintendo DS, and PlayStation 2 in 2005, with an additional release landing on mobile....

Fans of the Final Fantasy series know that many of its games cover themes of belonging and sacrifice in worlds where there is constant struggle between man, magic, and machine.
