Over the years, Minecraft has maintained its longevity as one of the most popular and accessible video games ever created. Originally released as a public alpha build in 2009, Minecraft wouldn’t officially be released as a proper game until 2011. Since that time, the game has accrued widespread critical success and is beloved by many in the gaming community. Now, its newest expansion will transport players to a world inspired by one of the most treasured film franchises of all time....

Starting franchise mode with a fantasy draft in MLB The Show 2019 can be both exciting and challenging. Selecting a young, elite, player the first round can be a difficult decision because of the scarcity of talent in later rounds. The player you draft with your first round pick will most likely act as the centerpiece for your team, and an essential factor to your franchise’s success. Therefore, what qualities and characteristics should you be looking for your first round draft pick?...

To Fast and Furious protagonist Dominic Toretto, nothing is more important than family. Blood doesn’t matter, if you’re a member of his crew that means you’re family, and he’ll do anything for you. Need a lift? No problem, you’re family. Need a date for prom? Family has your back. Need to kick the shit out of someone? Family. It’s all about family, and this mantra has evolved in recent weeks to be a comical farce that can be applied to anything....

Late last week, a story broke from publication Video Games Chronicle where Kena: Bridge of Spirits’ former lead designer Brandon Popovich alleged he was forced out of developer Ember Lab over a pay dispute. As it began to make traction across different outlets, Ember Lab reached out to GamesIndustry.biz to give its side of the story on the matter. According to a statement given to GI, Ember Lab asserts that it does not owe Popovich any further payment for his work done on the game....

There are many things that can make a person like Kingdom Hearts. It is an action-adventure game that has one of the weirdest and most iconic crossovers ever made. Besides its original characters, like Sora, Kingdom Hearts also includes Disney characters and Final Fantasy characters. In this franchise, players get to recruit heroes from both Square Enix and Disney. They also get to fight bad guys from both sides. There is, however, a moment when the challenge is to fight against a formidable hero....

Beloved video game icon Mega Man is the next character to receive a live-action film adaptation, coming to Netflix in the future. “Apparently, Capcom announced this back in 2018? With Masi Oka (Heroes, Hawaii Five-0, The Meg) serving as co-producer? I’m trying to remember what I was doing in 2018 because I feel like I would’ve remembered an announcement like this, yet here I am, looking at the words ‘Mega Man’ and ‘Netflix’ in quiet… something....

The long-awaited Luther movie will be released in cinemas next month and then hit Netflix soon after. Titled Luther: The Fallen Sun, the film will be available to subscribers of the streaming service from 10 March 2023. It will have a limited theatrical run from 24 February. Star Idris Elba posted a teaser on his Instagram feed which highlighted the release dates and, we’ll be honest, little else. However, the way he appears from darkness and back again is admittedly very cool....

Madden NFL 21 is only a few weeks away from being in players’ hands and to help satiate the short wait, EA Sports has released a new trailer detailing the newest mode in the game The Yard. The new mode takes players back to classic arcade football games of yore with a focus on 6v6 similar to 2K’s newly announced NFL games. In the mode players will create an athlete, customizing the appearance and player gear as they play games....

Since its initial release as far back as 2011, The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim has maintained a dedicated following thanks to its active modding community. Player made mod-content originally accessible only on the PC version of Skyrim, since made available on consoles albeit with a little more regulation, has enabled fans of one of Tamriel’s richest worlds to experience a very different adventure. The most recent in a series of graphical overhauls designed to breathe new life into the nearly nine year old tundras and taigas of Skyrim, modder Iconic’s Project Clarity - Effects Textures Redone project targets and overhauls the game’s various particle effects via an AI-upscaled HD texture pack....

When it comes to Old Hollywood screenwriters, there are few names that loom larger than Mankiewicz. That is probably because between two very different Mankiewicz brothers, some of the greatest screenplays of all-time were penned. In the case of Herman J. Mankiewicz that included The Wizard of Oz (1939), San Francisco (1936), The Pride of the Yankees (1942), and a little movie called Citizen Kane (1941). And it’s in the latter’s style filmmaker David Fincher is visiting Mank’s life....

Mario. The head honcho. The mustachioed maestro. There’s really no introduction needed here, but I guess I should do that whole ‘writing’ thing and provide one anyway. If I don’t, I don’t get paid, and then who’s to feed my seven baby honey badgers? Mario, as we know, is one of the greatest icons in video game history, if not just plain the greatest. Indeed, he’s transcended gaming to become a pop culture juggernaut in his own right....

Concerns over Covid-19 have been the cause for countless delays of events and releases across all industries, and while the Black Widow film has been moved from April to November, Marvel Contest Of Champions is moving forward with its tie-in release of content based on the characters in the film. Developer Kabam released an all-new motion comic teasing two new Champions coming to the popular mobile brawler. Both Black Widow and Red Guardian are making their way into the contest, with character designs inspired by the film....

Marvel’s Avengers has had Steampunk skins added to its marketplace over the weekend, and players aren’t sure how exactly they fit the desired aesthetic. Despite the Guardians of the Galaxy stealing the spotlight somewhat during Square Enix’s E3 presentation, it was still a big weekend for Marvel’s Avengers. Square also showed off an all-new trailer for War on Wakanda, the Black Panther expansion coming to Avengers sometime later this year. The game’s latest skins further suggest even King T’Challa can’t save the game at this point, though....

It has been a while since the last Marvel Ultimate Alliance game, nearly 10 years. Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order recently came out on the 19th, rebooting the series and bringing back a lot of the classic features from the older titles. One of those features is Team Bonuses, which increase the stats of the characters, giving players more power to complete challenges. There are six stats that Team Bonuses effect....

While responding to a fan on Twitter, Mass Effect: Andromeda producer Michael Gamble confirms that the game’s Asari squadmate, Peebee, can be romanced. A key feature in many BioWare games is the ability of the player to “romance” other characters in the game. Romancing is returning in BioWare’s upcoming sci-fi epic Mass Effect: Andromeda, but the studio has decided to keep the romance options in the game a secret. However, one possible romance option has slipped through the cracks in the form of the Asari squadmate Peebee....

Mass Effect’s version of the Milky Way galaxy houses several impressive species, with the Asari being among the best. Their elegance and intelligence make them well-respected in Citadel space, and they mostly live in harmony with the other races. However, that doesn’t mean they’re not prepared for a fight. They naturally have a higher aptitude for biotics than anyone else, which helps them breed some impressive fighters. Many of them become commandos, others choose to be mercs, and a select few join your group of beloved companions....

Mass Effect as a game series has been captivating players since day 1 in 2007. Thanks to its astonishingly well-developed world simply dripping with rich and creamy lore, it’s easy for almost anyone to engage with this epic space opera regardless of interest in gaming as a whole. The series is so magnetic that it’s almost a shame to see it confined to 4 games and a scattering of generally pretty decent novels....

As an apology for Metal Gear Online’s recent server problems and sub-par service, Konami rewards fans for their patience and loyalty with in-game bonuses. As many fans will attest, Metal Gear Online’s gotten off to a rocky start. After Metal Gear Online became available last week, players of Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain’s multiplayer component reported a number of problems ranging from a lack of public games to not being awarded XP in matches due to hosting issues....

One of the defining features of the current generation of consoles is their backwards compatibility, allowing players on Xbox Series X to play games from Xbox One and before. While there is a huge amount of Xbox One games that are currently playable on the new hardware, the selection of Xbox 360 and Xbox games is still somewhat limited. The Xbox Series X director of project management, Jason Ronald, likely gets asked about this a lot, but recently he gave fans a solid answer about why adding backwards compatibility for older games can be so challenging....
