When EA Sports unveiled the first teaser trailer for Madden NFL 18, many fans hoped that the game would see enhanced offensive and defensive artificial intelligence that would make gameplay more seamless than past installments. As it turns out, the AI in the sports title can adjust to match players’ skills, react to every play, and simulate live football – human errors and all. Unfortunately, players have discovered a caveat to the new-and-improved system: one formation breaks it....

Magic: The Gathering is an inherently competitive game. It requires players to come together and test their decks against one another, ultimately resulting in shared memories of tension, strategy, and victory or defeat. However, Magic Legends is taking the multiplayer heart of Magic: The Gathering in a different direction. This is an inherently multiplayer game. Magic Legends encourages fans to squad up and explore the multiverse together, rather than using their decks against each other all the time....

The Avengers: Infinity War released a few days ago, and the whole world rejoiced. It broke the highest box-office opening numbers on its first day, for the first weekend, and became the fastest movie to cross the 1 billion mark in cinematic history. The movie is proving to be quite popular, is what we’re trying to say. The internet reacted to the movie the only way it knows how to: by creating lots and lots of memes about every single aspect of the movie....

It’s been over two years since Daredevil was cancelled at Netflix, but fans have never stopped pushing for Charlie Cox’s portrayal of the Man Without Fear to be revived in the Marvel Cinematic Universe or a potential Disney+ series, and when Netflix’s exclusive rights to Daredevil expired last November, a new rumor began to circulate that Marvel was about to give those who had invested in three seasons of the nixed superhero series a chance to see Matt Murdock again in the multiverse-heavy MCU installment, Spider-Man 3....

As discovered by several fans yesterday, it appears that Spider-Man’s exclusive addition to Marvel’s Avengers on PlayStation 4 won’t be the only exclusivity deal on the cards for the upcoming game. Virgin Media, Intel, and Verizon will seemingly also be getting brand new skins available for customers on their services, although, it seems players now have their first look at the exclusive cosmetics in question. Posted by Reddit user smoove4254, it appears two of the upcoming skin packs coming to the companies’ users have been unveiled, with the pair of cosmetic offerings featuring one item for each of the core Avengers....

San Diego Comic-Con has long been the highlight of the nerd world, a weekend filled with celebrations of beloved stories and the announcement of new franchise entries. However, between Covid forcing the cancellation of the 2020 event and Marvel skipping the convention last year, SDCC has lost some of its luster. But SDCC 2022 promises to restore the convention to its former glory, thanks in no small part to Marvel’s potentially triumphant return....

The Mass Effect series is widely considered as one of the greatest gaming trilogies of all time. In fact, the only major downside of getting into this franchise is the lackluster ending of Mass Effect 3. However, regardless of how the series might’ve ended, the original trilogy is nothing short of a masterpiece, and people can’t wait to get into this series once again with the release of Mass Effect: Legendary Edition....

The PS Store is having a huge sale on retro games and remasters, and some absolute must-haves have made the cut. News that the standard price for a triple-A game would be increasing to $70 via the introduction of next-gen consoles ruffled a few feathers, to say the least. The argument over whether that was a justifiable price increase or not has been approached from just about every angle. However, those unhappy with the price hike should consider that now more than ever, you don’t need a lot of many to play games....

Development of Medieval Dynasty continues on through its Test Branch Early Access build. The game saw relative success when it first released, although it’s still in a largely unfinished state. Its newest update — out on April 16th — includes a bunch of new items, changes, and updates to the game. There’s some exciting stuff here, as well as some much-needed bug fixes. (No more exploding log piles, hopefully.) This small test branch update preempts a much larger update coming to the game soon, according to the developer’s Steam page....

Metro Exodus turned heads when it was first announced at Microsoft’s E3 2017 press conference with a gameplay presentation that led many to believe it would be an open world take on the franchise. While that’s not exactly true, Metro Exodus does blend open world elements with the Metro shooter/stealth formula to varying degrees of success. In Metro Exodus, silent hero Artyom leaves his home in the Moscow metro tunnels to explore the nuclear-ravaged world with his wife Anna, her father Miller, and a ragtag group of soldiers and tinkerers....

While streaming Call of Duty on Twitch earlier this week, NBA player Meyers Leonard used an anti-Semitic slur to deride an opponent. Despite his apparent attempt to delete the video, the internet discovered what happened and quickly spread footage of the moment. The response to Leonard’s use of the slur has been swift. The following day, the Miami Heat announced that Leonard will be “away from the team indefinitely” and that the team will “cooperate with the NBA while it conducts its investigation....

One can say this for director Paul W.S. Anderson: he’s consistent. His quarter-century-old filmography is one long litany of mediocrity or worse, often veering into unwatchability, and the fact that six of the 13 films he’s directed, including the new Monster Hunter, are based on video games tells you all you need to know about his esthetic. Monster Hunter, which Screen Gems is releasing into theaters as the COVID-19 pandemic rages worse than ever, is based on the 16-year-old video game franchise of the same name from Capcom (it happens to be the publisher’s second-best selling series after Resident Evil, for which Anderson has also steered the six-film movie franchise to box office success)....

“Clowns can get away with murder,” John Wayne Gacy told retired Des Plaines police officer David Hachmeister during a 10-day surveillance operation. The statement made the hair on the investigator’s head stand up. Over the course of Peacock’s original’s six-part docuseries John Wayne Gacy: Devil in Disguise, Hachmeister’s follicles come to perform routine calisthenics. Gacy is best known as the “Killer Clown,” but what sent Hachmeister’s neurological system into overdrive was how normal this clown appeared to be....

Jon Stewart made his name as the biggest name in political comedy with his legendary run as host of The Daily Show. Stewart took over from previous host Craig Kilborn and turned the show into comedy powerhouse, garnering unprecedented acclaim and launching the careers of countless other comedians such as Stephen Colbert and Jon Oliver. After he retired from the show in 2015, Stewart kept his head down for a while, mostly working on smaller projects without much media buzz....

Fortnite players have been able to become Thanos in the game recently, and it seems as if the man who plays the supervillain wasn’t aware of that. Right now on social media, there are two things that are pretty hard to avoid. Posts about Marvel Movies and footage of people playing Fortnite. The former is because Avengers: Infinity War is currently in theaters, and the latter is a game that has taken the world by storm....

If you’ve got a hankering for a big, nostalgic RPG to sink your teeth into, this announcement’s going to be music to your ears: A Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning remaster is coming to an Xbox One near you this August. Nary a day goes by that a remaster, HD edition, remake or unexpected port isn’t announced. Releases like the Borderlands and BioShock Nintendo Switch ports always bring new fans into the franchise (many Nintendo fans have entirely missed out on both of these fantastic franchises until now), but double-dipping tendencies on the parts of gamers also prove very lucrative for publishers....

While Halo Infinite details are still very slim coming off its controversial showing at the Xbox Games Showcase this past July, developer 343 Industries recently updated fans on when to expect the next information drop for the upcoming Xbox Series X/S exclusive. Despite this, rumors have been floating around in the community since July, and a new rumor claims that Halo Infinite is not only receiving a battle royale mode, but also when to expect the game’s release....

Construction on Japan’s Super Nintendo World is still underway and making progress. Super Nintendo World is an extension of Universal Studios theme parks in Japan and Hollywood and part of the Universal’s Epic Universe in the Universal Orlando Resort. Super Nintendo World would operate just like the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, as a self contained theme park within a bigger theme park. These projects have been delayed and some production has been postponed due to the pandemic....

GTA Online is still so popular and continues to make Rockstar so much money, that gamers should give up hope of anything new from the studio any time soon. When what was a terrific reveal event on Sony’s part for the PS5 a couple of weeks ago kicked off with a Rockstar announcement, every viewer’s attention would have piqued. Finally, a trailer for what is coming next, whether it be Grand Theft Auto VI, a Bully sequel, or anything at this point....
