In 2013, Walt Disney Animation Studios released Frozen, its 53rd animated feature. With takings of well over $1 billion and counting, it ranks as the most successful animated film of all time, eclipsing the previous title holder (Pixar’s Toy Story 3) by around $200 million. For a generation who’d grown up with such films as The Lion King and Tangled, Disney probably seems like an immovable cultural force: as recognizable and unchanging as Mount Rushmore or the American flag....

Despite being out for years, Divinity: Original Sin 2 is still a popular game. New players have been drawn to it for its strategic combat system, fun missions, and wide range of character options. Being new to the game can be a little tough. Divinity offers so many options for players that it can be a little overwhelming. Combat can start off being confusing from the many skills that players can access and the effects that can come....

“… hideous, machine-like creatures. They are legless, moving on a round base. They have no human features. A lens on a flexible shaft acts as an eye, arms with mechanical grips for hands.” Terry Nation’s script for ‘The Survivors’ (aka ‘The Daleks’ Part Two) The Daleks, along with Judge Dredd, are fictional fascists beloved by a wide audience. At their heart is a combination of terrifying concept – Nazis who always return (imagine) – with a triumph of design....

Doom Patrol is upping its supply of eccentric baddies with a new series regular. The HBO Max show’s upcoming 3rd season will feature none other than Michelle Gomez, who made waves in recent years for her gleefully sadistic portrayal of Missy/The Master during the Peter Capaldi era of Doctor Who. Gomez will play the villainous Madame Rouge, an interesting spin on an antagonist with a connection to Timothy Dalton’s Niles Caulder character....

Donkey Kong record holder Billy Mitchell holds a few big score records for the original arcade game: 1,047,200 (the King of Kong “tape”), 1,050,200 (the Mortgage Brokers score), and 1,062,800 (the Boomers score). However, back in August, Twin Galaxies member Jeremy Young (@xelnia) filed a dispute claim against the validity of these performances. Young argued that the original Donkey Kong arcade hardware can’t produce the board transition images shown in the recordings and that the transitions were actually generated through the use of an emulation software called MAME, which is strictly forbidden when submitting scores to the competitive leaderboards....

Dr Disrespect isn’t really known for keeping his thoughts to himself. In his latest rant, he called out Raven Software’s handling of Call of Duty: Warzone and even suggested that the devs should set up a meeting so he can help them “fix” it. The streamer has always been known to be shrouded in controversy. From Twitch bans to disrespecting other streamers, to being disbarred from competitions, he has a penchant of pushing the wrong buttons....

BioWare’s fantasy franchise, Dragon Age, hasn’t been afraid to insert controversial, nuanced issues about race, gender, sexuality, and religion into the games. The Chantry, who worship a god called The Maker and are Thedas’ equivalent to the Christian church, is the subject of no small debate among fans of the series and characters in the game. Dragon Age 4 is anxiously awaited by fans who gobble up any news they can (the most recent of which was that the game dropped its multiplayer aspect)....

During your playthrough of Dragon Age: Inquisition, you’ll be solving political issues, making friends, and, of course, saving the world. However, you can still take the time to add a little romance to your life. There are plenty of romance options to choose from in the game, and one of those is the Tevinter mage Dorian Pavus. Though he will happily flirt with any Inquisitor, Dorian can only be romanced by male characters....

The Dragon Age series wouldn’t be the same without quality companions. Throughout all of the games, the protagonist is joined by several of them during their adventures. And the series excels at making it feel like players share real relationships with each one. The protagonist might become close friends with some, whereas they could share an uneasy alliance with others. It all depends on the player’s choices and how they treat them....

Not too long ago, the publisher Bandai Namco revealed character rankings for existing roster members in Dragon Ball FighterZ, grading them on attributes such as Technique, Speed, and Power. Now, it looks like the company will need to update the site, as the developer Arc System Works has revealed the existence of four new fighters to be added to the forthcoming fighting game, and has provided some details to its story mode as well in the latest issue of Japanese magazine Jump....

Recently, a wholesome trend has started to spread over on Twitch as large streamers have begun to asses their circumstances and give back. Earlier this month, Pokimane worked with Streamlabs to set a hard cap on her donation limit of $5. A few others have begun to follow suit with similar stances and now DrLupo has put his own twist on the idea by donating all his future tips directly to a charity, starting with St....

Electronic Arts haven’t been in the good graces of most gamers for quite some time; famous for chasing trends, dissolving beloved development studios, and pushing microtransactions to such a degree that legislators took notice, it’s safe to say that the EA of the past decade or so has no concern for anything save its bottom line. As most fans know, Disney purchased Lucasfilm and its assets back in 2012, and, coincidentally, decided to forego video game development around that same time....

From Season’s Passes for DLC that is oftentimes hidden on a game disc or ready at launch alongside the “core” game, and online passes required to play a game you purchased online to in-game microtransactions for things that used to be accessible for free or via a code, Electronic Arts has had its hands pushing the envelope in monetizing video games. It absolutely sucks for gamers most of the time and when the gaming community is forced to accept these modern gaming realities (look at what Oblivion’s horse armor led to), even the ones deemed “optional,” it becomes a new and dangerous (for your wallet) precedent....

There’s no denying that Elden Ring is a hit. According to Bandai Namco, the game has sold over 12 million copies so far, and the title’s critical acclaim really speaks for itself. The only thing more obvious than Elden Ring‘s success is the fact that everyone sees it as the start of gaming’s next big franchise. Recently, Bandai Namco released a press release that showered the FromSoftware team with praise. The statement commended Hidetaka Miyazaki for marrying his studio’s experience producing Soulsborne titles with George R....

It shouldn’t come as a surprise that one of the largest video game companies is looking to hire for upcoming projects. At Electronic Arts, there is always something coming down the pipeline to be worked on. EA is known for its massive sports franchises, FIFA continues to provide football fans with content, and Madden is the go-to American football franchise. But a new job posting at EA is leading to speculation about something new in its mobile division....

Tech enthusiasts have long chased the dream of cinematic photo-realism in video games, and Epic Game’s CTO, Kim Liberi, believes that dream is on the cusp of being realized thanks to the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X. Leaps in the next-generation consoles’ processing power, paired with graphical advancements in game engines such Unreal 5 will enable, real-time movie-like experiences in-game. In an interview with Official PlayStation Magazine UK, Liberi asserts that the jump to movie-realism is more than a cosmetic issue or a certain graphical benchmark that must be met....
