At the back end of E3, things weren’t looking so great for the Xbox One, having displeased the gaming press and gamers alike with restrictive DRM policies.

Things are now looking fairly stable for the company as they try and make up ground initially lost to the PlayStation 4....

Jill Valentine and Carlos Oliveira had their hands full dealing with a zombie infested Racoon City in Resident Evil 3.

In a virtual battlefield like the ones found in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, players are always tasked with taking out other players for one reason or another.

For several Twitch employees, the holiday weekend got off to a very bad start when they suddenly learned that they were being laid off. Apparently, the company is making plans to reassign its priorities. This shift in focus from certain areas of Twitch’s business to others caused a restructuring of teams, ultimately leading to layoffs. While the corporate speak certainly makes it seem like a sound business decision, several longtime Twitch employees who were laid off tell a different story....

Logan director James Mangold recently shared the original test footage of the movie’s opening scene via Twitter, and revealed some interesting information about the character of Wolverine at the same time. During ComicBook.com’s Quaratine Watch Party, Mangold tweeted out the previsualization version of that opening scene in which Logan appears to be violently beaten by a gang, though he soon gets up and rips them apart, Wolverine-style. However, Logan almost had a completely different opening scene that would’ve shown the X-Men being slaughtered, though Mangold explained both why this didn’t end up going through and why Logan never wears his traditional Wolverine outfit....

This Lucifer review contains no spoilers. Lucifer had a long road to Netflix. After Fox cancelled the procedural comic book adaptation in 2018 for the crime of having a consistent fanbase of mediocre numbers, the streaming service picked it up in a shock acquisition, and its strong fourth season appeared to do quite well in its new home. Lucifer fans were convinced that the show and its stars, Tom Ellis and Lauren German, would be back for a triumphant fifth season, but more mixed news arrived instead: Season 5 was a go, but this time it would be Lucifer’s last hurrah....

Maria Bakalova is having a remarkable moment. Six months ago the Bulgarian thespian was completely unknown to English speaking audiences. Tonight she won Best Supporting Actress from the Critics Choice Awards, beating out other Oscar winners for her genuinely revelatory performance as Tutar Sagdiyev in Sacha Baron Cohen’s Borat 2. After all, how many other award winners can say their star turn helped expose Rudy Giuliani for extremely creepy behavior?...

Many games were teased and prematurely revealed prior to E3 2015, with one of the bigger ones being Mass Effect 4. Speculation about what would be shown of the game, if anything, was high, and Bioware’s own teases about the long-awaited sequel only helped to further people’s excitement. Fortunately, ME4 - now known as Mass Effect: Andromeda - was finally revealed, in full, via its first trailer, which confirmed many things we already suspected to be true: new galaxy; new set of characters; new (but slightly familiar) tone....

With the release of the new Xbox Live dashboard update many fans of downloadable games, especially of the independent variety, would be taking a backseat to content that was more enticing and otherwise more profitable for Microsoft as a whole.

As one of the richest companies in the world today, it’s no secret that Microsoft is sitting on a near unfathomable amount of money at all times. The Windows OS manufacturer has made a number of blockbuster acquisitions since its emergence on the marketplace, and that holds true to its Xbox-branded gaming division as well. One of the latest purchases made by the publisher was the smash-hit Minecraft for $2.5 billion, and the deal understandably shocked fans upon its announcement....

When the next-generation of consoles released two weeks ago, many people were shocked to hear there weren’t enough Xbox Series X and PS5 consoles to go around. Microsoft’s vice president of gaming, Phil Spencer, talked about why there was an initial delay in making more next-gen Xbox consoles for this holiday season during a recent interview. Spencer revealed to The Verge that the reason for the Xbox Series X’s manufacturing delay is that Microsoft was waiting for AMD technologies to be incorporated into the console’s chip....
