America’s best selling phones are due for an upgrade - with the iPhone 5, complete with larger screen, expected to launch in the coming weeks. Unsurprisingly, Apple’s fifteen month old iPhone 4 will also be hit by cost cutting and price drops around the same time and Apple is reportedly producing a lower-cost, 8-gigabyte version of the iPhone 4 hardware. This is similar to their strategy last year when the 8GB 3GS remained on the market for reduced prices after the iPhone 4 was released....
Lifelong gamers and those relatively new to gaming can both agree that deals on new games feel more valuable now than quite possibly ever before, as many of those around the world have been left with inordinate amounts of time at home to kill. GOG, the game sales platform created by Witcher developer CD Projekt Red, has just added to the current slate of discounted titles online Mable & The Wood, which is currently free, and will remain so until 7 a....
Madden NFL 21 has arrived, and with it comes a showstopping new mode, evolutions to favorite modes, gameplay advancements, and more. Each new Madden NFL entry attempts to outdo the game before, but usually, the developers choose just a few key areas to upgrade the game. Because a new Madden comes out every 12 months, it’s not easy to completely change the game for massive enhancements. In the case of Madden NFL 21, a genuinely large gameplay overhaul was one of the big focuses, as was the brand new The Yard game mode....
The folks over at Wizards of the Coast have been setting new precedents in Magic: The Gathering this year. After the most recent Core Set hit MTG: Arena, the devs took a more active role in shaping the meta. As a result, the meta of various formats became obvious very quickly, and a few key cards made themselves known. This led to Wizards banning several powerful cards in several formats, foremost among them Inverter of Truth and Cauldron Familiar....
While the Manhunt series has not received a new iteration in many years, an unofficial remastered version of the classic game is now available to play on PC. Modder Danoman just recently provided an update on his Blood Moon Manhunt mod, which aims to enhance the game in various ways. As detailed by Mod DB, players can look forward to enhanced textures, improved effects such as blood splatter, and more aggressive AI for more of a challenge....
Mega Maker, a Mario Maker-style editor for Mega Man, is available now. This clever adaptation of the popular Super Mario Maker game for 3DS and Wii U isn’t made by Capcom though, it’s a fan project. A team of dedicated Mega Man fans put their off-time into the non-commercial project simply out of passion for the property. As such, Mega Maker is free to download right now and is fully featured and playable as is....
During the climactic finale of The Mandalorian season two, Star Wars icon Mark Hamill made a surprise appearance as a young Luke Skywalker. While the fan reactions to Hamill’s brief but memorable return to the franchise were appreciated by the actor, it was praise from The Mandalorian star Ming-Na Wen that rendered him speechless. After the titular Mandalorian and his cohorts, including Wen’s Fennec Shand, successfully apprehended Moff Gideon and took command of his cruiser, the band of heroes found themselves surrounded by an army of Dark Troopers....
In one week, Avengers: Infinity War will finally be here. Packed with a huge cast and an even bigger budget, Marvel Studios is hoping their pet project becomes the most watched movie of the year (maybe even beating out Black Panther). Even with one week remaining until its premiere, many questions and theories have yet to be confirmed or debunked. The cast list is still incomplete (or at least we assume it is), with more than a few big names being left off this major blockbuster....
September was a strong month for video games, with several of its biggest releases going down a treat with both critics and general audiences. Nintendo re-released Super Mario 64, Sunshine, and Galaxy to the delight of its biggest fans, Vicarious Visions unleashed its remake of the first two Tony Hawk Pro Skater games, and Paradox Interactive brought strategy veterans the long-awaited third iteration of its popular Crusader King series. However, according to NPD’s sales data, the biggest moneymaker of September was actually Marvel’s Avengers, beating out the competition for the number one slot....
This November, Insomniac Games follows up its beloved Marvel’s Spider-Man game with Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales, one of the big launch titles for the PlayStation 5. The game takes the second Ultimate Spider-Man and gives him his own adventure full of webslinging and high-flying. Hopefully, there will be a bagel toss in there somewhere. While we’re excited to kick some ass as the star of Into the Spider-Verse, what is a superhero story without the villain?...
General manager of BioWare, Aaryn Flynn, confirms that Mass Effect: Andromeda has been delayed to early 2017, and says new info on the game will come at E3 2016. By the time Mass Effect: Andromeda launches, it will have been five years since fans saw the release of a new game in the Mass Effect franchise. There were rumblings, but Aaron Flynn, BioWare’s general manager, officially confirmed that Mass Effect: Andromeda has been delayed to early 2017....
Mass Effect: Andromeda’s creative director, Mac Walters, discusses in an interview how the game’s new villains will be different from the iconic Reapers. Mass Effect: Andromeda will be the first game in the beloved sci-fi RPG series that will not follow the adventures of Commander Shepard, and that means the new game will also mark the first time in Mass Effect history that the Reapers are not the main antagonists. That means that the game won’t be able to lean on an already established universal threat, and Mass Effect: Andromeda will need to find a new evil for players to unite against....
It goes without saying that one of the most controversial releases of 2017 was Mass Effect: Andromeda, a game that carried the heavy weight of expectation on its shoulder the moment it was announced. Unfortunately, the finished product didn’t exactly live up to the hype and a little bit later the entire series was shelved by BioWare. In lieu of putting in some serious work on new Andromeda content, much of the development staff has recently been shifted to EA Motive....
Mass Effect Legendary Edition handily includes most of the DLC packs from the original trilogy in its base game, so you can experience even more story content and additional little extras as you play. For Mass Effect 2, one of the included DLC story packs is Overlord. This assignment comes from the Illusive Man and can be unlocked by checking your messages at your Private Terminal aboard the Normandy. A Cerberus facility on the planet Aite has gone off the grid, so the Illusive Man asks you to go in and check it out....
Recently the collection of the Mass Effect trilogy was released in a new remaster titled Mass Effect Legendary Edition. This collection plays best on next-generation consoles like the Xbox Series X/S and the PS5, as well as the PC. The game does an excellent job at giving players tons of lore and characters that are equally endearing and interesting. Liara T’Soni is a squad member that spans the sci-fi trilogy and sees incredible character development and growth that sees her experiencing an arc that turns the timid scientist into a ruthless and stoic leader....
This article contains spoilers for The Matrix Resurrections. Fandoms are funny things. For every group of people who love a particular movie or TV series and can’t wait to see more of it, there’s usually a large sub-section who just want it to be left alone. But in the entertainment industry, expanding or revisiting successful IP has become a relentless, cash-hunting task for all the major studios so, more often than not, it’s the part of the fandom who are nostalgic for further adventures starring their favorite characters who will end up being sated....
Following speculation over a definitive edition of Metal Gear Solid 5, Konami officially announces a new bundle titled Metal Gear Solid 5: The Definitive Experience. Following a very public fall out with Hideo Kojima during the development of Metal Gear Solid 5 and the subsequent announcement that it intends to step away from triple-A console development, not only has Konami had to weather backlash over its decision to stick to a mobile-only business model, but it has also had to address fan concerns over the future of the Metal Gear franchise....

Nintendo revealed a brand-new 2D Metroid game for the Switch. While the initial reveal trailer didn’t offer fans too much information on the title, a follow-up Nintendo Treehouse gave an in-depth look at what features Metroid Dread is bringing to the table. Unfortunately, one such feature seems to be an instant death for Samus if she is caught by the deadly EMMI Robot. Metroid Dread, which is being developed by MercurySteam, who helmed 2017’s 3Ds title Metroid: Samus Returns, is bringing a whole new blend of classic Metroid gameplay along with some updated features....
