Alwa’s Awakening, a cute metroidvania that launched two years ago on the Nintendo Switch, is getting a much-deserved sequel later this year. Elden Pixels has officially announced that Alwa’s Legacy will release sometime during the summer of 2020. Alwa’s Legacy “honours the past with its 16-bit inspired visuals,” but hopes to offer a “contemporary take on the metroidvania genre.” Although the original title, Alwa’s Awakening, didn’t quite get all the attention it deserved, it was still a critical success — and fans of the series are probably itching to get their hands on the sequel....

Black Panther star and self-confessed nerd Michael B. Jordan is not slacking off during the pandemic as he continues to schedule what will be a very busy 2021. He’s already set to produce a live-action movie starring DC Comics’s Static Shock for Warner Bros., but now Jordan is also adding a directorial debut to his portfolio. The news came on the back of a report by Deadline addressing MGM’s dismissal of any possibility that 007’s No Time to Die would hit the streaming avenue as a last resort measure for the studio....

Microsoft might not be talking about its next-generation console at the Tokyo Game Show 2020, but it will have some information about upcoming DLC and updates to Microsoft Flight Simulator.

While fans are continuing to fly through its insanely large game world, Microsoft isn’t content to just put it out into the wild and be done with things....

Microsoft is currently holding a contest for fans to win a Sonic movie-themed Xbox One X console…and no, this is not an April Fool’s joke. On the official Xbox Twitter account, the contest went up just a few hours before the absolute worst day in the world and fans were skeptical. Can a console that ugly really be a prize? As a matter of fact, it can. If you fell in love with Paramount’s strange CGI creation, you can now bring his ugly mug home and put it on your shelf....

Trying to keep active while gaming has been a difficult task, as the genre of entertainment often emphasizes long windows of time spent almost completely immobile. However, developers like Nintendo are trying to strike a balance with games like Wii Fit and the highly successful Ring Fit Adventure. However, one player, not content with being limited to the cartoon-styled mini-games of Ring Fit Adventure, has created a mod to use the exercise based controller to play Dark Souls 3 and get a workout at the same time....

Fans of the Monster Hunter video games waited anxiously for the new movie adaptation now in cinemas that based on the trailer looks more like a military rescue mission with CGI. The director, Paul W.S. Anderson is known for his video game adaptations that sadly, usually fall short. He started with the 1995 Mortal Kombat movie and is also known for creating the Resident Evil movies from 2002 to 2016. Hoping that this movie will be more loyal to the beloved game franchise, the Monster Hunter movie was released on December 18, 2020....

Over the months and years that have led up to The Suicide Squad’s August release, writer-director James Gunn has been very clear: He can kill off anyone. And with a cast as overstuffed with characters as this movie, that’s hardly a surprise. Genuinely, without knowing ourselves about who lives and who dies in The Suicide Squad, are there really many folks out there ready to weep tears of sorrow over the loss of villains like… Polka-Dot Man or or T....

The hot summer weather wasn’t enough to keep the monthly video game ratings battle from heating up.

Mythical. That is a word Zack Snyder and his collaborators like to use when describing Justice League and its lineup of superheroes. To be sure the character of Wonder Woman is inspired, at least in part, by ancient Greek mythology, but they all take on a mythic bent in Snyder’s mind, which he expanded upon during the DC FanDome panel for “The Snyder Cut” of Justice League. And like any good epic myth, Snyder’s vision for Justice League is meant to be long....

In most modern video games, there is an auto-save option that is constantly keeping track of the players’ progress. This means that many gamers have become used to simply turning off their console whenever they want without fear of losing any significant progress in whatever game they’re playing. However, Kingdom Hearts 3 has a more old-school save mechanic that’s in line with previous games in the series. To save in Kingdom Hearts 3, players have to visit a save point and manually save their game (they can also save when in the Gummiship Garage)....

When Chris Kohler, Features Editor at Kotaku, posted a Super Mario Maker 2 level, he never expected to be accused of plagiarism. It all began after he posted a brief article, highlighting a level he shared on the game called That Goomba Had A Family. The next day Reddit and his Twitter had exploded with accusations of copying. He took to Twitter and the comments on his article to stress “No, I would never, ever do something like that....

The newest champion in League of Legends, Viego, is causing a lot of headaches for veterans of the game. The jungler was released to League of Legends in Patch 11.2 but hasn’t dominated the ranks of solo queue quite yet. But specifically, the frustration caused by Viego is due more to how his abilities interact with other League of Legends champions, which have caused some incredibly weird outcomes. Viego, the Ruined King, is able to possess the corpses of enemy champions he participates in killing via his passive, Sovereign Domain....

The weirdest sci-fi thriller of the ’80s, TerrorVision, was ahead of its time with its prediction of the era of Netflix. “Like the rest of his warped nuclear family, Stanley Putterman (Gerrit Graham) can’t contain his excitement at the new satellite dish that will beam hundreds of channels into their ridiculously garish home. This is 1986, after all, an era when even cable could only offer a few dozen. But by the end of Ted Nicolaou’s ultra-kitsch monster mash, their insatiable appetite for the small screen has literally consumed them all....

So, how did she manage it? She’s an Elf, So Has a Very Long Lifespan The first and most obvious reason Galadriel gets to hang on to her Ring – Nenya, the Ring of Water – from beginning (i.e. its forging) to end (the destruction of the One Ring) is that she lives long enough to do so. Elves in Tolkien’s world are functionally immortal; they can die of an illness or injury, but they don’t age, and there aren’t all that many illnesses they they’re vulnerable to....
