2K Sports’ annual $1 million Perfect Game Challenge returns this year for a third inning with MLB 2K12 – but this time they’ve thrown us a curveball. Where the two previous Perfect Game Challenges awarded $1 million to the first player who recorded a perfecto, effectively ending the contest before it gathered any momentum, this year 2K Sports is fashioning an eight-player MLB 2K12 tournament to coronate a winner at the end of April....

Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is the latest—and the greatest, some might say—video game set in a galaxy far, far away. It is set half a decade after the rise of the Galactic Empire, and it follows Cal Kestis, a young Jedi Padawan who is hunted by the Empire all over the galaxy. As this happens, he tries to restore the Jedi Order and to finish his training. This is plenty of pressure for anyone, so it helps that Cal has a few allies he can rely on....

With Jump Force’s launch having come and gone, it’s safe to presume that there are many players diving into all that the multi-platform fighting game from Bandai Namco Entertainment and Spike Chunsoft has to offer. Of course, some invariably have their eyes set on the horizon for the title’s post-launch content, and it appears as if the companies have an idea as to when the first batch of DLC will arrive....

According to a new datamine, Kingdom Hearts: Melody of Memory has an extensive list of banned words hidden within its recently-released demo. It is unclear how or when players would use any of the words in gameplay, possibly suggesting some as-yet-unannounced aspect of the game. Kingdom Hearts: Melody of Memory is the first rhythm game in the Kingdom Hearts franchise. As befitting of an action RPG series, Melody of Memory combines the iconic soundtrack of Kingdom Hearts with a rhythm-based auto-running battle system....

The D23 Expo is here and a new Kingdom Hearts 3 trailer has revealed the world of Toy Story. The game’s newest trailer debuted at the very end of the Disney video game panel, highlighting an event packed full of Spider-Man, Avengers, Star Wars, and other Disney announcements. Yet it was Kingdom Hearts 3 that stole the show, capping the event off with the reveal of its 2018 release window....

A service announcement from Square Enix has announced that Kingdom Hearts Union x Dark Road’s closure has been delayed until June 17. The closure of Union X was originally slated to be taking place April 30, so the delay has given the game another month and a half of service. The reasoning behind the delay is that the finale will now be released in two separate parts, although the specific dates for that have not yet been announced....

Hideo Kojima’s newly reborn studio, Kojima Productions, is partnering with Sony to release its first independent game as a console exclusive to the PlayStation 4. Wasting no time whatsoever, Sony has officially announced that they’ve formed an agreement with the newly founded Kojima Productions studio. Hideo Kojima’s employment contract with Konami officially ended just earlier today, meaning this agreement went from rumor to a signed deal in less than 24 hours....

Reader, you should have seen the queue: it stretched all the way out of the cinema, down the street, round the corner and on for another half a mile or so. This was the line for La La Land at the London Film Festival late last year, and there was a definite hum of enthusiasm in the air. Hype had already built around the musical since its first screening at the Venice Film Festival a couple of months earlier, and as a result, there were so many people desperate to see the movie at its first London screening that the theater couldn’t accommodate them all....

Legendary Pokemon have been part of the games since Red and Green, way back in 1996. Finding Mewtwo in Cerulean cave or glitching to get Mew were formative experiences for many young Pokemon trainers. Finding the Legendary birds dotted around the overworld was incredibly exciting - finding out Zapdos is only 5'3’’ is less so. Pokemon size is a big issue in the franchise. There’s no real consistency between the games and the anime, but in theory, the Pokedex should be the final authority on it....

Bungie released a major shot of content into Destiny 2 this week as it brought the Guardian Games seasonal event to town, largely replacing the Revelry event from previous years. During this three week span, the three classes will be involved in a friendly competition to see who can earn more medals to claim ultimate bragging rights. The update also brought with it the Grandmaster Difficulty for Nightfall strikes, something which seemingly divided the community when it was announced....

A once-banned episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer perfectly captures what it’s like to be on social media in 2020. “‘Earshot,’ the season three episode of Buffy: The Vampire Slayer, is infamous for some not-great reasons. The episode was initially set to air right after the Columbine school shooting in April of 1999, but it was shelved until September due to a plotline that involved Buffy, who gets telepathic powers for the episode, seemingly thwarting a school shooting....

Could lightsabers from Star Wars potentially exist in the real world? A real-life physicist chimes in on these theoretical propositions. “I’ve never been a Star Wars fan. I’ve seen only one of the movies, The Phantom Menace, and I was eight years old at the time. And yet even I, as a child, owned and played with one of those little lightsaber toys, as have millions of children before and after me (not to mention the millions of children yet-unborn, who will not be spared induction into the Disney Industrial Complex)....

What If…? is proving Marvel Studios is incapable of telling a story without everything connecting at some point. “There are a few things about Avengers: Endgame that set it apart from the rest of the Marvel Cinematic Universe canon, and one of them is the fact that it’s the rare movie in that series that has an ending. It is an ending, really. Endgame went to so much trouble resolving nearly every ongoing plot thread and character arc that it very much could have served as the final Marvel movie: The end to the grand experiment that started a decade earlier when Nick Fury showed up during the credits of Iron Man....

While Liverpool player Diogo Jota did have an impressive start following his £41 million move from the Wolverhampton Wanderers, he has been sidelined after suffered a leg injury in a UEFA Champions League match against Midtjylland last December. In the meantime, it appears the 24-year-old professional soccer player has been putting his recovery time to good use by becoming number one in the world in FIFA 21. Jota posted an Instagram photo of his performance in the Ultimate Team mode of FIFA 21, where he went 30-0 in the FUT Champions Weekend League....

Previously a Google Stadia exclusive, Lost Words: Beyond the Page will be releasing for the PS4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC (via Steam) on April 6.

That trauma brings her into a world that has her solve puzzles with her love of writing....

Avalanche’s Mad Max game was a fantastic adaptation of Mad Max: Fury Road’s world. Made as a tie-in game rather than a “play-the-movie” experience, the game perfectly captured the savage tone of the film it was loosely based upon. It also put the sand in sandbox and gave us a gorgeous world to play in. It sold pretty well, shipping 1.8 million copies, and received mixed but generally positive reviews. So why did the game fade from memory so quickly?...

Many people brought out the pitchforks for Mass Effect: Andromeda. The game is undisputed in its rushed feel, terrible writing, and negative gameplay changes. However, let’s take a second to see why BioWare’s widely acclaimed and beloved series took such a dive into the abyss, joining the likes of other games that rushed their release. The Mass Effect series kicked some major ass on the Xbox when it was first released....
