Magic: The Gathering Arena is coming to a new audience on March 25, as the game is expanding to iOS devices. The update will also include performance updates for Android players, which should make the mobile title run better on a variety of smartphones.

Mario Kart Tour’s much-discussed multiplayer mode finally arrives this weekend. Here are the three different ways in which users will be able to play. When Mario Kart Tour launched back in September, many of its players were disappointed to discover there was no multiplayer function. Nintendo didn’t even offer up any hints as to when the feature would arrive, revealing nothing more than it would be “coming soon.” Almost six months later, multiplayer Mario Kart Tour is finally here....

If there’s a man to be in “misery” right now, it’s probably Adam Levine - lead singer and guitarist for the popular band Maroon 5. Levine claims the use of his likeness in 2009’s Band Hero was in breach of a contractual agreement with Activision - which was initially supposed to be a simple cameo appearance. Levine stated that the agreement was for his likeness to be used for the song “She Will Be Loved,” which was featured within the game....

Captain America just might be the most well-known Superhero of all time. In fact, thanks to the Avenger’s and Marvel Cinematic Universe or MCU, it’s essentially a household name at this point. Captain America got his start as the symbol of American pride during the Second World War. And his comic book debut started out very strong. the first line of his comics showed him giving the one and only leader of the German Regime a full knuckle sandwich, with the crust cut off....

When it comes to iconic 80s action franchises, very few can stack up to that of the Alien and Predator series, both of which found near-universal acclaim and developed huge fanbases for their incredible worlds and, more importantly, terrifying antagonists. The fact both have seen countless reboots since they were first devised over thirty years ago shows that they have an enduring legacy with pop culture that likely won’t go away anytime soon....

It’s an early start to a big weekend of Mass Effect 3 news.

Some Mass Effect Legendary Edition players are having unexpected issues, preventing them from enjoying the anthology to its fullest. These issues have lead to BioWare’s remaster getting review bombed on Metacritic by users from Russia. Localization is often a problem for the players of certain regions, but thankfully, most of the time the players may choose between their native dubs or the original voice-over. For some reason, Electronic Arts did not provide such an opportunity for the first Mass Effect game as part of Legendary Edition....

One of the most common criticisms of the Marvel Cinematic Universe is that it doesn’t have any memorable musical themes that audiences can leave the theater humming. Unlike John Williams’ unforgettable orchestrations, which have burned themselves in the minds of Star Wars fans permanently, Marvel’s scores have mostly come and gone without making a lasting impression. There are certainly exceptions – Ludwig Göransson’s Oscar-winning Black Panther score being the obvious example – but for the most part, Marvel’s movies tend to have a safe, generic blockbuster score that does its job without drawing attention to itself....

The Metal Gear Solid franchise just practically overflows with iconic characters. Hideo Kojima has been throwing unique personalities at us since the 1987 debut entry. One of the most notable characters beyond the obvious choice of Snake is Revolver Ocelot. While he was introduced as a boss character in 1998’s Metal Gear Solid, he quickly became one of the key players in the series’ overarching lore. The following list will reveal ten interesting facts about him, diving into both the games’ story and behind-the-scenes facts....

I’ll bet if Sammy Cahn saw the frozen, irradiated wastes of post-war Moscow, he’d think twice about asking for more snow. The stuff is everywhere in 2010’s Metro 2033, a chilling and chilly horror game set in the fallout of a 2013 nuclear war. While a game where violent mobs and bloodthirsty creatures try to maul you in a Russian apocalypse might not seem like the coziest game for the holidays, 4A’s stressful survival sim is actually a great thing to bundle up and get lost inside of this winter....

Minecraft developer Mojang is releasing a special map in tandem with a Microsoft press release today. Last year, in January, Microsoft made a pledge to become carbon negative by 2030. What this means is, it wants to capture more carbon from the atmosphere than it emits. This was part of a longer term goal to actually remove the equivalent of all the carbon it has released since 1975, the year it was founded....

Middle Earth: Shadow of War is just one of the many Lord of the Rings games circulating the gaming sphere. In Middle-Earth: Shadow of War, collectibles provide players with deeper lore of the game. Ithildin poem doors are part collectibles, part puzzle in which solving and unlocking all of them awards the player not just extra lore, but parts of a Legendary Set.

Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor just received an update on PC. PS4, and Xbox One. This has lead some to speculate the patch could offer players a way to carry over saves from the the game into the upcoming sequel, Middle-earth: Shadow of War. The recent update to Shadow of Mordor came as a bit of surprise, as the game has been out for quite some time, and there were no details included with the patch....

Water is in fact not a source of hydration in Minecraft, but rather a valuable tool that can be used as decoration or as a way to interact with other materials. It’s essential when it comes to creating crop farms that can be used to feed livestock but is equally important in cobblestone and obsidian generators. One ingenious way to use water is to transport mobs and players. Thanks to how it interacts with fall damage and with a few select blocks in the game, you can build convenient water elevators to quickly get from one place to another....

Near the beginning of what many consider to be the definitive James Bond movie, 1964’s Goldfinger, Sean Connery’s 007 reveals himself to be simultaneously roguish and antiquated. The moment occurs when his latest conquest affronts his snobbish tastes—dismissing something to do with champagne and refrigerators. He thus believes it’s his duty to explain, “My dear girl, there are some things that just aren’t done, such as drinking Dom Pérignon ’53 above the temperature of 38 degrees Fahrenheit....

You know Jason Voorhees. If he wants to hop into Street Fighter V and take over Metro City, you’d best believe that he’s going to go right the heck ahead and do it. Who’s going to argue with him and his machete? Nobody, that’s who. You know what’s funny? Crossovers in gaming. We’ve come such a long way over the last few years. If you’re a decrepit old gamer who remembers the bitter console wars of the 1990s, you’d never have believed that Mario and Sonic would appear together in titles like Super Smash Bros....

It’s no secret that the DC Extended Universe has not enjoyed the same level of success and mass appeal that their Marvel peers boast. However, with the upcoming The Suicide Squad film and Peacemaker series, DC films will be hoping to capitalize on their star power, especially that of John Cena. Much in the same vein as Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Cena has managed to branch out from the WWE by becoming an internet personality and securing a career in movies that’s only growing further this year, when he’ll appear not only in the aforementioned productions but also in the Fast and Furious 9....

Han and Chewy, Kirk and Spock, Groot and Rocket – the science fiction world isn’t hurting for lovable outer space duos.

She appeared in nine episodes of the television show American Odyssey and was a regular on Sacred Lies. She is heading to her biggest project to date in the form of Netflix’s Jupiter’s Legacy, playing the super-powered Chloe Sampson, daughter to The Union’s lead couple, The Utopian and Lady Liberty....

In early 2019 when Disney finalized their acquisition of 20th Century Fox, it was in many ways a dream come true for Marvel fans who had hoped to see the X-Men join the MCU. However, one foul-mouthed individual who may have not been as thrilled was Ryan Reynolds’ Deadpool. A huge part of Deadpool’s charm and why he succeeded at the box office with over $1.5 billion in revenue from both films was the perfect marriage of the “hero’s” antics with Reynolds’ own humor making the perfect fourth wall-breaking cocktail that meant it stood out noticeably from any other superhero film....
