The opening of Kingdom Hearts is a bizarre and fairly obtuse tutorial, which sort of goes hand-in-hand with Disney combining its characters with those of Final Fantasy. You’ll learn the basic mechanics of movement, attacking, and interactions, but also be asked to make a few choices that seem completely random or arbitrary to the game. Almost like a personality test, these questions, on the surface, seem like they might somehow impact the personality of Sora....
Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue has a few new tricks up its sleeve, and Phantom Aqua is the first fight in Aqua’s new game that could give gamers some trouble. Although the bulk of Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue is made up by its remastered version of Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance, the collection does present some new challenges to gamers as well. Many fans are calling the collection’s Kingdom Hearts 0....
With a storyline as rich (and arguably as convoluted) as Metal Gear’s few could fault creator Hideo Kojima for having a tough time juggling it all. Yet, with a fan base that’s solely devoted to the franchise, and who know its every in and out, we have some troubling news. According to Kojima, the latest entry in the Metal Gear franchise, Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain, will feature some franchise “inconsistencies....
One of the biggest stories of E3 2018 is that Kingdom Hearts 3 will be released on Xbox One, marking the series’ Xbox debut. But despite that announcement getting most of the attention, Sony didn’t come up empty-handed when it came to Kingdom Hearts related announcements as the PlayStation press conference also came with some reveals. During its E3 2018 press conference, Sony unveiled a limited edition Kingdom Hearts 3 PS4 Pro....
This article contains MAJOR spoilers for Loki Episode 6. The Loki season finale introduced a major character—or at least his actor—to the MCU. In “For All Time. Always,” Loki and Sylvie reach the Citadel at the end of time and are met by He Who Remains, the man behind the TVA and the Sacred Timeline. He Who Remains is played by Lovecraft Country‘s Jonathan Majors, who is set to appear as MCU villain Kang the Conquerer in the upcoming Ant Man & Wasp: Quantumania....
Following the announcement that this year’s NFL Pro Bowl will be held inside of Madden NFL 21 on Twitch, Madden NFL 21 is free-to-play this weekend. The decision to make the Pro Bowl digital this year is due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Traditionally, the Pro Bowl is a special annual all-star game held in Orlando, Florida where the best players from the league represent the two conferences of the National Football League, the AFC, and the NFC....
One of the oldest trading card games still being printed, Magic: The Gathering doesn’t stop for anything. The COVID-19 pandemic only increased the number of players using the new MTG: Arena, and new Magic sets are still being printed. Since the latest Core Set recently came to MTG: Arena, playership is going strong all across the board. It’s safe to say the game is nowhere near being tapped out. That said, Magic: The Gathering has not remained a static game....
After months of waiting, Marvel’s Avengers fans finally got a closer look at the game’s next playable add-on character yesterday. Kate Bishop did a good job of creating some excitement in early 2021, but since then players have been anxiously awaiting the first real look at Clint Barton and this version of Hawkeye’s gameplay reveal. This week’s deep dive war table finally offered up some details about the coming hero and its release date....
It’s been a busy morning for Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite. Capcom not only dropped a brand new story trailer, but also laid out pre-order details and what fans can expect to find in the game’s various special editions. There will be three editions for the game, which are the typical standard, deluxe, and collector’s editions. The standard edition will run the usual $59.99. The deluxe edition runs a little higher at $89....
How long will Among Us continue to be a phenomenon? Nobody has the answer to that, not even Super Smash Bros. guru Masahiro Sakurai. Like the rest of us, though, he’s enjoying the title. Generally, of course, Sakurai tends to speak to the industry on one subject: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. The game’s tireless director has presented several DLC fighter analysis videos, both from his office and, during these pandemic-ravaged times, from his own home (while sitting on his now-iconic sofa)....
Phase Four of the Marvel Cinematic Universe is officially over, with the release of the Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special. Phase Four had nearly as many new releases as the first three phases of the MCU, thanks to the first Disney+ MCU series (such as WandaVision, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Loki, Hawkeye, and Moon Knight) as well as new movies (like Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, Thor: Love and Thunder, and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever)....
Megadimension Neptunia VII will arrive on the Nintendo Switch later this summer. Probably. If you were to name ridiculous JRPG franchises that haven’t changed in the ten years since their inception, Hyperdimension Neptunia should be right at the top of the list. The franchise has been about poking fun at the most ludicrous Japanese gaming tropes while also lambasting console gamers in general. The games themselves are filled with an all-female cast of bizarrely clothed (and sometimes barely clothed) women that seem to take from every facet of anime known to man....
Microsoft has unveiled a slate of new games for Xbox Game Pass this month and the additions are pretty big. We already knew about Red Dead Redemption 2 (which hits the service tomorrow), but the likes of Final Fantasy IX, DayZ, and Fractured Minds is super neat. You’ll be able to download the titles on these dates: Red Dead Redemption 2 - May 7 DayZ - May 7 Final Fantasy IX - May 14 Fractured Minds - May 19 We also got clarification on those titles leaving Game Pass....
In October 2018, Netflix debuted Mike Flanagan’s The Haunting of Hill House to critical acclaim and renewed the show as an anthology series early the following year. The follow-up series, titled The Haunting of Bly Manor, will premiere on Netflix in October 2020 and Flanagan hinted at what to expect from the show during a virtual panel for Montreal’s Fantasia International Film Festival. Based on Shirley Jackson’s gothic horror novel of the same name, Flanagan’s adaptation of The Haunting of Hill House followed the lives of the five Crain family siblings and the paranormal experiences they share....
Ever since the recent Minecraft Live event that revealed the upcoming Caves and Cliffs update for the game, we’ve learned quite a lot about what to expect from Minecraft patch 1.17. One of the update’s biggest additions is set to be the introduction of a block that makes wireless redstone a reality: the sound detecting Skulk Sensor. As it turns out, this new mechanism will also ensure that your redstone contraptions don’t break or trigger due to the noise of rain....
Square Enix announces that Mobius Final Fantasy title will be hitting North American shores ahead of Final Fantasy 15, and pre-registration bonuses are still available. There might not be a better time to have a big release set for a debut in the mobile gaming market than right now. Pokemon GO has more gamers than ever using their smart phones for more than just texting or scrolling through social media feeds, and if other studios can continue the momentum generated by Niantic and Nintendo’s gargantuan title, we may be in for a mobile gaming renaissance....
When it comes to Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin, you’ll be needing plenty of money to fund your journey and keep your character rocking the very best armor and weapons. Unlike most games, zenny doesn’t just drop from the enemies you defeat, so you’ll have to go out of your way to earn some cash. Fortunately, there are a number of ways to earn zenny and maximize the amount you earn when selling items too....
Academy Award winner Judi Dench has revealed that the ringtone on her cell phone is the James Bond theme. Dench, of course, played 007’s boss M in seven Bond movies, first appearing alongside Pierce Brosnan and later alongside Daniel Craig before her character was killed off in 2012’s Skyfall and Ralph Fiennes took her place. After her ringtone was exposed, the actor shared a hilariously embarrassing story about it from the set of her final James Bond film....
If you were expecting to get more information about the upcoming Xbox Series X (like, say, a price), then I’ve got some bad news for you. Microsoft’s Aaron Greenberg recently confirmed that this month’s Xbox Games Showcase will be taking the “Games” part of its name literally. There will be no information about the Series X, just an hour of different games coming to current and next-generation platforms. We do know that we’ll finally get our first look at campaign footage from Halo Infinite....
Some celebrities are just like real people while others are Jared Leto. Luckily for fans, Karen Gillan is the former. The star from high profile hits like Doctor Who and the Avengers films recently took British Vogue on a tour of her home to walk viewers through what she calls her “perfect night in,” and aside from the vintage Steinway (spoilers), it’s almost comforting to see how relatable she comes across....
