Tis she! Enola Holmes (Millie Bobby Brown), the whip-smart, socially awkward, fisticuffs-brandishing, disguise-swapping girl detective that Netflix introduced in a charming if overstuffed origin story in 2020. But with all the credit for solving that movie’s mystery going to her more established older brother, Sherlock (Henry Cavill), Enola’s sophomore outing in Enola Holmes 2 serves as something of a second debut: investigating a crime that no one else wants, the disappearance of a factory girl....

Let’s get this out of the way right off the bat: Rainbow Six Siege is a very situational game, and it’s very hard to quantify exactly how useful an operator or a tactic is going to be until the round starts. (Or, at least until the preparation phase.) With that said, there are operators in Siege that are going to be useful in a wider variety of situations than others. This list ranks those operators (Attackers and then Defenders) who are useful more often near the top and puts operators who are much more situational towards the bottom....

The PlayStation 5 is off to a promising start, with the likes of Demon’s Souls and Astro’s Playroom being exclusive to the next-gen powerhouse. However, many of the other titles announced for the PS5 are cross-gen titles that aren’t exactly built from the ground up to take full advantage of the hardware. That isn’t to say there aren’t games announced that utilize the console’s potential, but they are more than likely not releasing soon (aside from a very select few)....

Despite Sega’s own words describing the series as targeting a “niche” audience, the Yakuza series has still surpassed 14 millions sales this year. To some extent, describing Yakuza games as “niche” isn’t wrong; they’re strange, melodramatic adventures filled with drastic tonal shifts that can be off-putting to some. Behind the veil of wacky side quests and absurd minigames that most people think of, the Yakuza franchise tells a surprisingly mature and compelling story worthy of additional exposure....

Porter Gage is a companion character in Fallout 4 that’s hard to forget because of his crazy personality and productive style of getting things done. Gage is known as the guy that’s the second in command of Nuka-World and most other characters take him seriously as their boss. There are lots of cool facts to miss about Porter Gage in the DLC and this list will tell players about a bunch of them....

On release Fallout 4 had an amazing wealth of content for the player to enjoy. Lots of unique and interesting areas, quirky weapons, incredible power armor, and more. Yet as players began digging into the files of the game and the developers began responding to interviews, it’s become apparent that there were a lot of things cut from Fallout 4 before the final release. Even more incredible is that some of these things haven’t been added in the seven add-ons that came since the game’s release....

Bethesda’s creative director Todd Howard reveals that Fallout Shelter is officially the most played Fallout game in the series with over 4 billion play sessions. Bethesda’s creative director Todd Howard spoke today at the D.I.C.E 2016 Summit and got fans excited when he announced that the studio is working on three new “big and crazy” projects. Howard then switched focus onto the Fallout series and revealed some surprising news regarding Fallout Shelter....

Following the recent release of Far Cry 5’s teaser trailer depicting the game’s rural Montana setting in the fictional area of Hope County, Ubisoft has now released the forthcoming title’s cover art to reveal some of the characters. Of course, as one should expect from the key artwork for the next entry in the first-person shooter franchise, it highlights what are presumably the sequel’s villains posing in a sinister send-up of Leonardo da Vinci’s painting The Last Supper....

Despite facing a downhill with its most recent installment, the Far Cry franchise has been a strong contender in the FPS genre. With each game dropping the player into a brand new area of wilderness and outlaws, the series has both wowed and disappointed fans with its subsequent additions to a classic open-world survival FPS genre. Now that many are likely to have time to revisit their favorite franchises, it’s the perfect occasion to appreciate the good, the bad and the ugly in Far Cry’s franchise....

Like it or not, Destiny is set to add its first set of microtransactions with this Tueday’s reset. Granted, all of the items that will be offered by the Eververse Trading Company - in exchange for a real-world currency called Silver - are cosmetic, but if this is the start of a trend it could spell bad news for Destiny players. Even so, it’s fair to say there are plenty of players who are fine with the idea of cosmetic microtransactions in Destiny....

Diablo 2 Resurrected, coming from Vicarious Visions and Blizzard Entertainment, apparently has some Mark “Marky Mark” Wahlberg Easter eggs, as it comes to light that there are multiple references to the actor in the game. The remaster of Diablo 2 has many holding their breath after the fiasco of Warcraft 3 Reforged, which managed to frustrate passionate fans by Blizzard’s handling of the reboot. With a heft of features being readily removed from Warcraft 3, including the original title itself, the handling of Diablo 2 has many fans of the title waiting with bated breath to see how Blizzard is going to handle what some consider to be the pinnacle of the franchise thus far....

The Xbox Series X release draws closer, and as it does, fans waiting eagerly to get their hands on the next gen console are learning more about the titles that will launch on the console. Although some of the marketing for the Xbox Series X has been a little odd, straightforward gameplay previews have offered better insight into how the console performs. One that has been given a good deal of press lately is Dirt 5, and based on a slew of previews of the Xbox Series X version of the game, it performs very well on the next gen hardware....

This Star Trek: Discovery article contains spoilers for Season 3, Episode 3. In Star Trek: The Original Series, the USS Enterprise never once visited a contemporary version of Earth. Yes, the crew often time-traveled to Earth of the past, but going to the 23rd century of Earth was totally passé. Obviously, the Trek franchise has visited future versions of Earth a ton since then, but in the latest episode of Star Trek: Discovery Season 3—“People of Earth”—the Trek franchise seems to split the difference....

Popular streamer Disguised Toast makes a surprise return to Twitch just months after leaving the platform to join Facebook Gaming. The streamer signed an exclusive deal with Facebook Gaming in November after revealing that he felt unable to grow his brand on Twitch. On April 22, 2020, Disguised Toast came back to Twitch to host a Just Chatting stream. While some of the streamer’s fans asked if it was “legal” for him to be streaming on Twitch, Disguised Toast confirmed that it was all above board....

V1 Interactive, the team behind multiplayer shooter Disintegration, announced today that it will be officially closing its doors. In a Twitter post revealing the news, V1 thanks all current and past team members for their help building the studio, as well as the passionate community that formed around Disintegration following its release. The studio was originally created back in 2014, with Halo co-creator Marcus Lehto and SOCOM developer Mike Gutmann at the helm....

A shoe, a mallet and a squash ball. All weapons used in the world of Doctor Who to disable the martial might of a Sontaran soldier. It’s the little hole on the back of their neck known as the probic vent, see. Makes them vulnerable. Give an exposed probic vent one good whack and those stumpy, grumpy fellas fold like deckchairs. The finest soldiers in the galaxy – as Ten describes them in ‘The Sontaran Stratagem’ – defeated by items that could be readily sourced from any branch of Go Outdoors....

The age-old question of what person, place, or thing an individual is based on their zodiac sign can be applied to basically anything. The positions of the stars the moment someone was born is said to have a certain meaning regarding their personality. People who are well-read in the subject can try guessing anyone’s astrology sign based on their behavior and everyday lives. Although this has its exceptions, as everything does, the topic of zodiac signs has become a science of sorts....

The fifth edition of Dungeons and Dragons seems like it’s got a whole lot of longevity. Wizards of the Coast keeps releasing new sourcebooks for this version of the game, and so far, it’s been a long list of hits. Wizards is using the Dungeons and Dragons IP wisely, too, by not sticking to the beaten path. It’s done some very successful crossovers with Magic: The Gathering and Critical Role, and there’s bound to be more of the same kind in the future....

Star Wars: The Old Republic never turned out to be the WoW killer that some MMO fans predicted it would be, but the game still has a strong community of free-to-play and subscription players. The game’s original subscription requirement is a thing of the past and the game’s profit model is now based around free-to-play content and optional purchases. To keep the game’s existing audience engaged, Electronic Arts and Bioware are releasing the next expansion, Star Wars: The Old Republic Knights of the Fallen Empire, free of charge, as well....
