The upcoming Magic: The Gathering set called Dominaria has had the Chinese version of its official release notes leaked online. This prompted Wizards of the Coast to unveil all of the release notes in every language much earlier than they had anticipated, due to a few major changes that were being introduced in the set. One of the biggest changes to Magic: The Gathering that is coming into effect with Dominaria is the removal of gender-specific pronouns from the information on the cards....

The Fallout games are by far one of the most confusing series of plot driven open-world games that are out there. Bethesda is unparalleled in its ability to make a world feel real and giant, with every game’s map getting progressively bigger and bigger and more densely populated. The only issue that they seem to run into is prioritizing their plot, story, and making sure that the choices within the game have consequences....

Perhaps the least surprising announcement coming out of CinemaCon was the revelation that Kevin Feige and others have gathered at a retreat to plan out the next 10 years of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Under Feige’s direction, the MCU has developed a reputation for order that mirrors its comic book predecessor. Characters and plot points introduced in one film do not reach their end their conclusion until several movies later....

Sure does seem there’s a lotta them teen vampires hanging around these days. I thought that crew on Buffy would’ve been more than enough to hold us, but they just kept coming. In recent years we’ve had to deal with the lot on Vampire Diaries, True Blood, the Twilight movies, Vampire Academy, and lord knows else. Turn around too slow, you’ll bump into another one. Damn kids and their vampirism, always cutting across my lawn like that....

Screenshots from the remastered version of Marvel’s Spider-Man show a redesigned Peter Parker looking void of emotion during a key moment in the game. Spider-Man: Miles Morales hit PS4 and PS5 this week beginning the next chapter in PlayStation’s Spidey universe. The game also comes with a remastered version of Marvel’s Spider-Man, a clever idea from the games’ developers Insomniac. However, just like a certain other Marvel game on the market right now, the remastered Spider-Man was critiqued before release for its character design....

Mass Effect 3’s main story line may have been concluded, but that doesn’t mean players have experienced all the game is looking to offer. While BioWare may be hard at work on their next Mass Effect adventure, Commander Shepard has one more battle to fight thanks to the newly released “Omega” DLC for Mass Effect 3. It’s difficult to gauge the fan base’s desire to play as Commander Shepard once again - at the highest price of admission for singleplayer DLC we’ve seen from the series - but BioWare is promising the biggest expansion to date, and one that shouldn’t disappoint....

The Mass Effect game franchise is loved by many for numerous reasons. Worldbuilding, characters, and story have all contributed to the love of the series. But for many, the latest installment, Mass Effect: Andromeda, failed to meet expectations. Andromeda had a rocky release that many games nowadays are frequently having. It wasn’t all bad though. New combat, story, and characters won over many fans that would like to see more from Andromeda....

In more ways than one, Metro Exodus is a departure from series norms. The game removes protagonist Artyom from the claustrophobic tunnels that give the series its namesake, and instead lets him explore a series of semi-open world hubs, largely above ground. However, while Metro Exodus does some things different, it also retains some elements of the previous games, like having multiple endings, for instance. There are two different endings in Metro Exodus....

The premise of Men in Black is simple enough to communicate to a wider audience and rich enough to propel itself through many variations. Earth is home to a sizeable population of aliens who are policed and protected by a secret private agency (not government, because they ask too many questions) called the Men in Black. Whenever an intergalactic threat emerges, it is the Men in Black who have to deal with it....

Michelle Gomez is one of our generation’s best character actors. She’s been blessing genre fans with incredible performances like Missy in Doctor Who, Madame Satan in Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, and most recently as the dynamic and dangerous Miranda in The Flight Attendant. So the announcement that she’d be joining HBO Max’s groundbreaking superhero series Doom Patrol was a match made in heaven. Gomez will be playing Madame Rouge, a sometime ally, sometime antagonist of the motley crew....

As of late, Microsoft has been sending mixed messages at best. While we still aren’t any clearer with regards to used games, prices, release dates, launch titles, and a whole wealth of other things that pertain to Microsoft’s next-gen console we do know a name: Xbox One. However, while we know a name, we’re still a little fuzzy on why and how Microsoft settled on calling it the Xbox One. Luckily, Microsoft’s Jeff Henshaw was on hand for Microsoft’s Xbox One reveal event to clear that up....

During last week’s Xbox Showcase Extended, I found myself to be incredibly captivated by one title in particular, a title that I never would have expected myself to be interested in: Microsoft Flight Simulator. My eyes were glued to the trailer that preceded the interview with Jorg Neumann, Head of Microsoft Flight Simulator. In fact, after the interview, I watched the trailer about five more times – my excitement only increasing with each additional view....

On February 14th, whilst human beings around the world are showing their affection for one another, BioWare will be showing their affection for fans by gracing them with a Mass Effect 3 demo. But, with this being a demo of all facets of the Mass Effect 3 experience (including multiplayer) there was the concern some would be left out. Thankfully, perhaps keeping in the spirit of the Holiday, Microsoft has brought word to BioWare that they will be offering any who download the ME3 demo a special Xbox Live Gold membership “trial” so that they can participate in the multiplayer....

Telltale Games has become something of a go-to developer for creating story-driven games out of outside properties, as seen with the recent Guardians of the Galaxy adaptation. One of the studio’s previous games has also now officially been confirmed for a second season, with Telltale Games announcing that Minecraft: Story Mode - Season 2 is on the way. The developer took to its official Twitter page to reveal that Minecraft: Story Mode - Season 2 is going to see release, and as it turns out the game will actually be launching very soon....

MLB The Show 21 is giving fans a look at different game modes and new features coming to the Show franchise a few months before release. MLB The Show 21 is scheduled to release in April, and for the first time ever, will be releasing on Xbox consoles. In a series of entertaining trailers, puppets of cover athlete Fernando Tatis Jr. and The Show mascot, Coach, have highlighted features in MLB The Show 21, which may help Xbox players get into the swing of the game....

CD Projekt Red boasted about the complex customizability of Cyberpunk 2077 with Ripperdocs on hand to tinker with your frontal cortex, immune system, skeleton, hands, and whatever else tickles your fancy - haircuts though? Not a chance. You’re stuck with how you looked from day one. Naturally, modders have sought to change that. It’s especially weird considering that Witcher, a game that placed you in the shoes of a character with a predetermined story and appearance, let you get a haircut and a beard trim, even in 2011’s Witcher 2....

Not long after MOGA entered the portable gaming accessory fight with last year’s Pocket Controller (read our review here), they’re back with an even bigger model. But does the MOGA Pro Controller exceed the expectations of its predecessor, or fall short? The good news first: it’s already clear that the designer behind both the MOGA Pocket and Pro controller know what they’re doing, and who to target. The smaller, more portable controller offered a well-built and sturdy gaming interface for owners of Android devices, hile the only drawback was the relatively small scale which, for some games, felt too small....

Our quick take Kia Optima Sportswagon first drive Kia Optima Sportswagon review: The wiley wagon Kia Optima Sportswagon review: Real estate Kia Optima Sportswagon review: A dull daily drive Kia Optima Sportswagon review: Top-of-the range tech To recap The Kia Optima Sportswagon will make a solid daily hack for most customers. It’s a good looking machine, especially in the top-of-the-range GT-Line S trim, while its infotainment system is slick and intuitive and the “3” models and above spearhead a suite of standard kit that’s more impressive than its rivals....

Kingdom Hearts 3 is only a couple weeks away and fans are beyond ready to get their hands on the next installment in the beloved franchise. However, to prevent spoilers due to game leaks, Square Enix and the rest of the development team decided not to include the epilogue and secret movie on the shipping disc, meaning fans will have to download the final parts of the game in an update....

A new study has estimated how much some of gaming’s most famous characters earn and seems as if Borderlands’ Handsome Jack is raking in the big bucks. Money appears to be no object in games a lot of the time. Items you need can be found lying around, or if you’re strapped for cash you can just rob someone. However, Raisin UK has imagined what various video game characters earn based on the career paths they follow....
