Interstellar is returning to IMAX for the sci-fi film’s 10th anniversary on December 6. Normally, this would be a time for fans of the impressive space epic and its director, Christopher Nolan, to celebrate. Finally, a chance to once again see all 64 minutes of those glorious 70mm shots of blackholes and planetary…

What a week, huh? Yeah. Well, here we are, at the end of it, at the very least, and now looking toward the future. So how about some video games to take our minds off things for the weekend? This week we’ve got some fun shooters, some beat ‘em up action, and a digital spin on a classic trading card game.

Jesse Keighin liked to stream Nintendo Switch games online before they were officially released and then gloat about it right in Nintendo’s face, according to a new lawsuit filed by the Mario maker in Colorado District Court earlier this week. “[I] can do this all day,” he allegedly wrote in a letter to Nintendo. The…

We’ve already very carefully been over the grimly insidious nature of Pokémon TCG Pocket’s unpleasant free-to-play model, but an aspect of this peculiar and enormously successful mobile spin-off from the long-established card game is just how many in-game currencies it has you juggle. So far, there are twelve, and…

My favorite part about talking to other people who play choice-based RPGs is comparing choices. Whether it’s about the characters we make or the ways we nudge the story, I am always down to hear how people are playing games like Dragon Age: The Veilguard. We’re just a week out from launch, so a lot of people haven’t…

Today, during Disney’s D23 Brazil event, the company showcased a bunch of first looks and new teasers for upcoming projects. And during the event, Disney shared the first still of Stitch from the upcoming live-action Lilo & Stitch remake. And well... hmmm... I’m not sure, folks!

Suprise! A new, preivously undocumented cheat code has been discovered in the classic Super Nintendo game Donkey Kong Country 2 nearly three decades after it hit store shelves.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 has been an exciting entry for the franchise, likely bolstered by its same-day launch on Game Pass. It also helps that there’s a healthy mix of new offerings and the return of beloved mechanics. When talking about the latter, the reintroduction of the classic Prestige system certainly…

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 hasn’t even been out for a full month yet and Activision is already teasing a slew of season 1 content coming next week. The update is bringing more loadout options, maps, and teases for mid-season zombies reveals.

Overwatch 2 has been in such a rough spot as of late that it’s impossible to not be nostalgic for the original game’s heyday. The sequel hasn’t panned out the way Blizzard promised after it reportedly canceled the story campaign that was the whole point of a sequel. So it’s easy to look at all the changes Overwatch 2 h…

Dizzy has been in Guilty Gear before but, as with many characters, she has been significantly reworked for Strive. Now called “Queen Dizzy,” she has access to some of her previous moves, and is still a considerable threat (despite her adorable appearance).

Yesterday, the PlayStation 5 Pro launched. But I’ve been playing around with Sony’s most expensive console ever for the past week, and the biggest issue I have with it, besides the high price, is that its really hard to actually figure out what games run and look better on it.

The original Life is Strange, from developer Don’t Nod, launched as an episodic, story-driven adventure game published by Square Enix in 2015. That’s nearly a decade ago, surprisingly enough, and it’s making me feel old, as I remember seeing the previews and press screens of the game back in the day. But here we are,…

There have been two massive questions hanging over Concord, the expensive PlayStation 5 hero shooter that almost nobody played. The first one is: how did a game that wasn’t busted or terrible bomb so spectacularly? The second is: how did a game seemingly destined to fail get through Sony’s quality checks, renowned…

Disney Dreamlight Valley has amassed a huge following of fans since its 2022 release. Developer Gameloft has provided regular updates to ensure players remain engaged on a consistent basis.

Going first usually has its advantages. Not in Pokémon TCG Pocket. The mobile card game flips the traditional calculus on its head. Going first doesn’t just lose its edge, it feels downright bad.

Who else had Macaulay Culkin reportedly being cast in season two of Fallout on their bingo card? Just me? Weird. According to Deadline’s mysterious sources, the Uncle Buck star is set for a recurring role in the new season of Amazon’s mega-hit Fallout TV series.

The reason patent attorneys get paid so much money is that no one in their right mind would ever want to be a patent attorney. Thus, we can all nod and smile as if we understand as Palworld developers Pocketpair releases a statement about precisely which patents Nintendo is claiming the Pokémon-alike game is violating.

Sega is delisting over 60 games across console and PC digital storefronts next month. The company reassured players that those who already owned the retro games will still be able to download and play them after they’ve been delisted, but that doesn’t make the sudden removal of so many classic titles any better.

We already knew Dragon Age: The Veilguard’s first patch was coming this week, but since it landed on N7 Day, it also came with a few surprises. The fantasy RPG is one of BioWare’s more polished games, but even so, there are plenty of bugs for the team to squash, based on the patch notes it just put out.

It’s N7 Day, the annual Mass Effect holiday in which BioWare gestures at the next game while fans have a field day with merch and fan art. But this year, the team just put out another game, Dragon Age: The Veilguard and doesn’t want to steal the game’s thunder with a bunch of teases for a game that’s still a ways out.…

Stellar Crown felt like a return to form for the Pokémon TCG, after a fair few sets that have had disappointing pull rates—albeit this time by being an incredibly small set, with many fewer cards to collect. Now, on the verge of the next set Surging Sparks’ release, it’s a good moment to look at which Stellar Crown…

Grand Theft Auto 6 is easily the most anticipated video game release of 2025.

The Borderlands movie arrived in 2024, after years in development, only to rake in $15 million at the domestic box office. It was an epic flop, only overshadowed later on went Joker: Folie à Deux went “hold my beer” and failed even more spectacularly. At least with Borderlands, there was a video game franchise…
