MLB The Show 19 is the newest release from the franchise that has dominated the MLB sector of the simulation sports game industry for years. While Xbox users continue to suffer from the absence of a quality MLB simulation game, Playstation fans have enjoyed the franchise’s year-to-year improvements. The newest release received high praise from many critics because of its realistic player experience. For instance, USgamer.net raved, “[MLB The Show 19] seems destined to go down as the best baseball sim of the generation, and maybe as one of the best sports sims as well....

[UPDATE: Kotaku’s Jason Schreier claims that the Google controller design is not real and is a mock-up based on Google patents from 2014.] In late January, Google filed patents for a video game console controller, marking just one step leading up to an expected March 19 reveal of a Google video game console announcement. Now the mock-ups of the Google game console controller have appeared online, perhaps giving fans a sneak peak of the March 19 event....

Long before “fake news” was a rhetorical cudgel for the President to beat his perceived media enemies with, it was a term of endearment for a new breed of satirical news program. As first popularized by Comedy Central’s The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, news/comedy hybrids first had their moment in the early 2000s and then just never really went away. Now, after a lengthy hiatus, one of the genre’s godfathers is finally coming back to television....

In the several years since Jordan Peele released his second directorial effort, the twisty and wicked Us, the marketplace has been inundated with more than a few imitators of Peele’s unique blend of socially conscious horror and seemingly contradictory bleak humor—essentially inserted nervous laughter. Yet even after multiple other films and projects on that wavelength, no one has been able to replicate the unique blend which won Peele on a Oscar for the screenplay of his first movie, Get Out, and which made Us one of only a handful of original 2019 efforts to be among the highest grossing of that year....

November 7th, 2020. It has become a day that will go down in history, whether through the collective sigh of relief felt around the world as the U.S. presidential election was finally called, or on a smaller scale, in the eyes of Mass Effect fans. Turns out Colin Trevorrow and his team behind Jurassic World: Dominion also wanted a piece of that action, as the film finally completed its surreal 18 month filming journey on that same day....

The gruesome zombie battling, co-op Unreal Tournament 2004 mod that spawned a well-received spin off game is almost ready to release its first sequel.

Fans of Metal Gear Solid and Death Stranding creator Hideo Kojima’s work will surely never forget the cancellation of Silent Hills. One of the biggest video game cancellations of the past decade and one that caused a major downward spiral for publisher Konami, including Kojima’s departure from the company as a whole. The cancellation of Silent Hills was only made worse by the fact that players even got a taste for the game’s horror with P....

Back 4 Blood may be headed to Xbox Game Pass according to a new leak. Unfortunately the leak was courtesy of Warner Bros. itself, as the information was mentioned in the description of a livestream video showcasing the game’s PvP mode. Redditor EricKillMongerz spotted the news (via VG247) which was mentioned towards the end of the description. It said that the game will come to Game Pass on day one for both, consoles as well as PC....

Riot Games is branching out into several different areas at the moment, with a new IP in the form of Valorant and new forays into familiar territory. One of these is the new card game Legends of Runeterra, which takes place in the same fictional world as League of Legends. The recently released Legends of Runeterra is currently trying to set itself apart in a market already saturated with digital card games....

This Legion review contains spoilers. Legion Season 3 Episode 1 While Dark Phoenix was (not so warmly) greeted as the last installment of the Fox produced Marvel properties (we’ll believe New Mutants is being released only when we’ve got a ticket stub in our hand), Legion is in fact Fox’s final foray in the world of superpowered mutants. The FX series, created by Noah Hawley, is almost a perfect representation of Fox’s X-Men efforts – its first season was heralded as groundbreaking, complex, counter-programing to what other studios were serving up with their superhero IP, but as the series went along, it suffered from a sort of aimlessness and style over substance ethos....

It has been well-known that two LEGO games have been planned for this year, and it certainly seemed like LEGO The Incredibles was one of them. Considering The Incredibles 2 may very well be a big hit, it certainly wasn’t a stretch of the imagination that it would get its own LEGO game. After a recent leak all but confirmed that this LEGO movie tie-in was in the works, today Lego The Incredibles has been officially announced by Warner Bros, TT Games, The Lego Group, Disney, and Pixar....

This article contains spoilers for Avengers: Endgame and the wider MCU Our first look at Marvel’s merchandise for its summer-set Loki series has arrived, and in the words of the great American poet Billy Ray Cyrus, there is much to think about. The initial wave of merch, which has been described by some Twitter fan accounts as “cursed”, “ugly”, “horrible” and “some kind of punishment”, was on full display in the Zazzle store this week far ahead of Loki’s June premiere, but despite a few of its questionable design choices, it does give us a better idea of how much of the show is going to be about time travel: a lot....

Magic: The Gathering’s latest release, Core Set 2021 has been out for several days now and as usual, new and broken combos have already become rampant in platforms like Magic: The Gathering Arena. It’s only proof to how Core Set 2021 is setting a new power creep bar for Standard, Pioneer, and Modern formats. Tons of cards– even those costing only one mana or less, are some of the most appealing additions to Core Set 2021....

Unlike other superhero games, Marvel’s Avengers has a more action-packed take on the adventures of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes. Moreover, this title features the Avengers fighting some of their most popular villains with a Square Enix and Crystal Dynamics twist. In this Marvel title, the Avengers not only show their might with their abilities but also possess unique RPG elements. As such, aside from progressive skill tress, heroes also have access to unique Gear they can level up that gives them unique benefits in battle....

Marvel’s Avengers will continue its road to redemption by letting you pair different versions of the same heroes together for the first time next week. Despite a rocky start to its existence, Square Enix and Crystal Dynamics are refusing to throw in the towel on Marvel’s Avengers just yet. The next step on the troubled title’s comeback trail arrives next week via its first-ever Tachycon anomaly event. As announced via the game’s official website, the event will begin on April 22, 2021, and come to an end on May 3, 2021....

We got the chance to speak to Philippe Therien, War Zones director at Marvel’s Avengers, ahead of the game’s official launch on September 4. In the 15 minute chat, we touched on inclusivity, readability, invisible loot, screen shake, and what heroes might appear in the future. TG: War Zones are your co-op missions that people can jump into with friends - how do you make sure they’re infinitely replayable if people are doing them over and over again?...

Marvel’s Avengers has had a wild ride since its launch earlier this fall. The game was delayed from an early summer release to give the team more time to put on the finishing touches, but despite that effort the AAA title still launched with a laundry list of bugs on most platforms and a bit of an endgame content drought according to some parts of the community. Early patches have been mostly dedicated to stomping out bugs, but the latest big patch actually made some content additions and quality of life improvements, as well....

Rumors and leaks surrounding the appearance of Spider-Man in Crystal Dynamic’s upcoming Marvel’s Avengers have been all over the place over the last few days. An early leak suggested Spider-Man would be a PS4 exclusive for the multiplayer action game, but the intel seemed to be debunked shortly after word started to spread. Now, just a day later, an official blog post from the developer arrives to confirm that Spider-Man is coming to the game as a PS4 exclusive after all....
