Madden NFL 21, the latest title in the long-running American football series, is almost here on PC, PS4, and Xbox One. Madden 21 brings a few changes to the classic formula, including new control mechanics and improvements to passing, rushing, and tackling. The game’s first trailer was panned by critics and gamers alike for not showing enough progress to warrant the $60 price tag, and many are waiting to see if the game itself follows suit....

White decks in Magic: The Gathering are often characterized by the use of numerous smaller creatures rather than smaller quantities of larger threats. White often represents the ideas of community and many serving the greater good, making these types of strategies fit into the color quite flavorfully. As one would expect, White has access to its fair share of low-cost spells that pack quite the punch. Whether these are high value removal spells or under-costed creatures, white has a vast array of powerful one-mana spells....

Spider-Man is one of the most iconic and legendary heroes ever made, and Insomniac’s take on the character might be one of the most relatable versions yet. This Peter Parker is one struggling with rent, confidence, a social life, the loss of loved ones, and even former mentors turned into violent lunatics terrorizing the city. Yet despite his many hurdles, Peter rises to the occasion, overcoming the odds and fighting for what’s right, while looking good doing it....

Today, BioWare and Nvidia have joined forces to promote the former’s forthcoming science fiction shooter Mass Effect: Andromeda and the latter’s graphics cards and technology by releasing a brand new gameplay trailer featuring visuals in 4K resolution for the game running on PC.

When BioWare first revealed the new Mass Effect during The Game Awards in December 2020, fans went wild for the idea of seeing the series make a return to form with fan favorite characters and the Milky Way galaxy. While BioWare has suggested that both galaxies from Mass Effect might be making an appearance in the new game, the overarching narrative of this game looks like it could be taking place after the legacy of Commander Shepard....

Many of us making our way through Mass Effect Legendary Edition have probably clocked in more playthroughs of the games than we care to admit. Whether you want to see everything the game has to offer or just play as the exact same Shepard every time, it’s a series that invites replays, and the recent remaster has only made it more tempting. But what if you already know every mission like the back of your hand?...

Microsoft comes under fire for a new Dead Rising 4 email advertisement that is accused of featuring a racial slur, prompting Major Nelson to issue an apology to fans. Anyone that is signed up for Microsoft’s newsletters should be used to receiving emails from the company promoting its upcoming games. It appears as though Microsoft is largely footing the bill for marketing the PC and Xbox One timed-exclusive Dead Rising 4 as well, as it recently set out an email to Xbox owners hyping the game and its holiday theme by showing Frank West with his arms around a couple of costumed zombies....

Microsoft is finally gearing up to launch its Project xCloud streaming service next month, a move that will let Xbox Game Pass Ultimate users play over 100 games on their mobile devices.

It seems there’s a Portal fan working for Jeopardy. Monday night’s episode included a set of Double Jeopardy categories that mostly seemed to be not-so-subtle references to Valve’s classic puzzlers. First up was “Composers,” which doesn’t seem to be a reference on its own (although Portal and Portal 2 certainly had memorable soundtracks thanks to composers Kelly Bailey and Mike Morasky). “Science Time,” however, is the first step on the Portal stairway....

It didn’t take long for the DCEU to establish a considerably darker tone than the MCU. With the second movie in the franchise – Batman V Superman – audiences were already introduced to a post-apocalyptic wasteland called the Knightmare. In the Knightmare, Batman leads an Insurgency Resistance against Superman and his Parademons, which Zack Snyder’s Justice League has clarified are under the influence of Darkseid. While Justice League primarily focuses on bringing Superman back to life, fans get a glimpse of the Knightmare at the end of the Snyder Cut....

This article contains DC’s Legends of Tomorrow spoilers. Legends of Tomorrow Season 7 Episode 5 It was almost impossible for Legends of Tomorrow to follow up the spectacular 100th episode with something that matched it, and while they didn’t hit the same high, they came really close.
