The ingenuity of gamers never fails to impress, as proven by a number of gaming mods, gaming-inspired creations, and bizarre in-game discoveries. Most recently, the innovation of gamers was demonstrated by a Reddit user who manipulated a cow in Just Cause 3 for hilarious results. In a Reddit video titled “That’s Cowrma,” Reddit user and Just Cause 3 player Rooonaldooo99 displayed unique placement of the boosting propeller devices Rico Rodriguez uses for a variety of purposes....

Dungeons & Dragons returns to video games with Baldur’s Gate 3, bringing all the imagination it’s known for. The game is still in Early Access, so there’s some bugs to work out, but the creative powers of D&D are alive and well in the character customization. Many of the D&D races are represented, from classic elves to the rare Githyanki. Praise has been heaped on the character creation tools, which use scans of real people for extra detail....

The Airship will have a folding mechanism, allowing it to be reduced in size so that the course’s features are concealed. When unfolded, the Airship course will be more than 14 inches long and include features that Mario and Luigi will be able to interact with. Speaking of which, neither of the plumbers is included in the Airship set. Their respective starter packs need to be bought separately. Unfortunately, the Airship leak isn’t quite as exciting as the one that revealed Lego Luigi was incoming....

Our quick take Lexus UX300e - 4.0 / 5 Eye-catching design Slip-and-slide electric ride User experience on the up To recap This all-electric SUV has got plenty of pep and its near-to-200-mile range is solid. The updated tech is a welcome step forward - yay for Android Auto and Apple CarPlay - although the mix of old and new isn’t class-leading, despite an exterior design aesthetic that says otherwise. What’s going to really appeal about this Lexus, though, is that it’s a B-segment SUV - and with little else all-electric to directly compete in this segment, it’ll tick the right boxes for certain early adopters....

After finishing Life Is Strange recently, I can safely say that it is one of the greatest games I’ve played. The way that the brilliant indie soundtrack combines with complex character relationships and moral dilemmas easily made it one of the titles I’ve been the most emotionally invested in. Furthermore, the way that Life Is Strange sets up choices and consequences is the best I’ve experienced in gaming. But despite my enjoyment, I had a problem feeling comfortable with Chloe....

It’s been 20 years since the premiere of Harry Potter and the Sorceror’s Stone, and the legacy of the Wizarding World adaptation can still be felt today. “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone was originally published in 1997. Although the book series made a splash upon its release, it wasn’t until the film came out in 2001 that Harry Potter really began its ascent into the mainstream pop culture stratosphere. Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint, unknown children at the time of the premiere of Chris Columbus’s film, quickly became household names....

The faint glimmer of my flashlight only barely illuminates the dereliction around me. As I wander through the police station’s disheveled corridors, it becomes clear that certain places can be simultaneously tranquil and blood-curdling. Perhaps this is why — despite how obvious it is that I am in grave danger in Little Hope — the tantalizing pull into the next dim-lit, potentially perilous room only grows with each step I take toward it....

Announced back in August last year, Little Nightmares 2 looks to be a bigger and more expansive take on the universe established in the first game, introducing a new protagonist and a host of fresh villains. This time around, Mono, a young boy living in a world distorted by a mysterious signal tower, must team up with original Little Nightmares protagonist Six on a mission to uncover the eerie secrets behind the hostile landscape....

This Lucifer review contains spoilers. Lucifer Season 3 Episode 2 It’s been a while since Lucifer’s catchphrase played such an important role in the overall arc, and even though the characters dig deep into their psyches, “The One With the Baby Carrot” manages to do what Lucifer does best, blend a relatively compelling procedural case with humor as the characters work through their personal demons on a path to self-actualization. God’s sons continue their attempts at navigating what they see as both manipulation and evaluation, and as expected, come at that problem from different angles....

Cryptic Studios recently revealed the fourth playable class in Magic Legends to be the white-mana inspired Sanctifier. This class focuses on ranged DPS and tons of self healing, which makes it a pain to kill and a very valuable ally to have on the battlefield during online multiplayer sessions in the upcoming action RPG game. With five playable classes promised for the game’s launch, this means that there is now only one reveal left until the full roster of classes have been shared....

This Manifest review contains spoilers. Manifest Season 3 Episode 3 This week’s Manifest episode had a lot going for it. It had government intrigue (arguably the most fulfilling aspect of the serial story over the past three seasons), a satisfying puzzle-style calling, and a return of the deep historical mythology surrounding Al-Zuras. Some might argue there were too many balls in the air at once, but the overall effect was pretty solid nonetheless....

Chewbacca was nearly set for Oktoberfest in the original Star Wars trilogy after execs on the film voiced concern about the fact that the furry compadre to Han Solo didn’t wear pants. What they wanted was for ol’ Chewie to don a “pair of lederhosen.” Han Solo’s partner in crime changed a lot from his inception in concept art to the final appearance we saw in A New Hope. In fact, his original design ended up being recycled for Zeb’s race - the Lasat - in Star Wars Rebels....

Since his introduction in Iron Man 3 as an existing, albeit unreal character, the Mandarin and his terrorist organization, the Ten Rings, have been nothing more than a laughing stock in the MCU. With a pantheon of heavy-hitting supervillains, like Thanos, Ultron, and Dormammu, the next phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe will need even more interesting and fan-favorite characters to join the already massive tapestry. This is where Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings comes into play....
