This Titans review contains NO spoilers! Titans, the first original series created for the newly launched DC Universe streaming service, launched its first trailer to considerable fanfare (and controversy) back in July. Notably dark and violent, and with Robin famously voicing a particularly strong opinion of Batman, that few minutes of Titans footage divided fans, with some citing its daring willingness to take characters who have had their greatest success headlining two animated series and bringing them back to their more mature comic book roots, while others felt its violence and strong language were perhaps a step too far in the direction of an infamous DC movie that shall not be named....

This Titans review contains spoilers. Titans Season 2 Episode 6 With nary a mention of him since his tease at the end of season one, Conner Kent swoops into Titans with a great episode that’s charming, sweet, and exciting for what it sets up for the series. Oh, and Krypto! Picking up after the stinger scene from last season’s finale, “Conner” has a bare-assed Lex Luthor/Superman clone busting himself, and Krypto the Super-Dog out of Luthor’s Cadmus Labs....

In the earlier days of gaming, Japanese game publishers would frequently choose to exclude the North American market when they released a game. Fortunately, this doesn’t happen as much today since publishers can get a more accurate estimate of enthusiasm for a particular game. The access to games is also slowly making the change from physical media to an all-digital download future; which lowers the cost to the publisher. Many of the games that weren’t released in North America would probably not have sold well here, but a few of them were eagerly anticipated by a significant number of gamers....

When Toys “R” Us announced it was closing 200 stores in the United States beginning last February, it was a sad day, as the toy retailer has had some formative role in many children’s (and adult’s) lives throughout its existence. Since that announcement a few months ago, circumstances haven’t improved for the company, with all of the company’s 800 stores set to close within the next few months. Now, that heartache takes on a new level with the news that Toys R Us founder Charles Lazarus has passed away at age 94....

Game developer Naughty Dog officially launches the first-ever bonus weekend for the multiplayer mode of its action-adventure title Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End. Now that Memorial Day weekend has kicked off in the United States, Naughty Dog has decided to treat fans of Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End’s to a bonus weekend event for the game’s multiplayer mode. The whole affair started yesterday and is still going on, as it’s set to run all the way through this coming Tuesday, May 31, at 12:00 PM PT, which should give Uncharted 4 fans plenty of time to take part....

A fantastic amount of effort has been put into Undertale, from its retro art style to its challenging bullet-hell combat. But, above all else is the attention to detail placed into the encounters with its characters. Many memorable interactions are impossible to experience in one playthrough alone. There are many ways to play through the game, but the two routes with the most significant differences are Pacifist and Genocide. The prime example of how Genocide and Pacifist routes change the experience is with Flowey....

A number of Twitch users have become aware of the U.S Army’s dislike for the phrase “war crimes,” with some experiencing bans for mentioning the above on the platform’s chat, according to Vice. Users recently got banned from the Army’s official Esports Discord channel as the server shut down where new users were concerned due to a member influx. Per the publication, the server is still inaccessible, leaving folks to hog the Army’s Twitch chat....

The Elder is the first real challenge in Valheim. You won’t stand a chance against the hulking monstrosity unless you’re fully prepared, which includes amassing an arsenal of upgraded weapons, armor, and careful strategy. In Valheim, preparation is everything, and The Elder will severely punish any survivor that tries to rush into this fight. With the right tools, however, anyone can make short work of this tree beast. If you’ve already dispatched with Eikthyr, here are the best strategies for defeating The Elder in Valheim....

Valheim has been a gargantuan success on Steam and with that comes a community built around dedicated fans, and fans can be a creative bunch. One has gone as far as to replicate the Sacrificial Stones, albeit a touch smaller than they are in-game, complete with chains for the trophies. In Valheim, you spawn in a circle of the Sacrificial Stones that represent the different bosses in the game, with crude artwork depicting them....

VALORANT is the newest game to hit the tactical FPS scene and a successful closed-beta launch has put it in a prime position to possibly dominate the space for years to come. It does pretty much everything right in the genre. The simple, minimalistic design favors competitive integrity over graphics and positioning/gun fights are as important as ever. One thing that sets VALORANT apart is the diverse cast of playable characters with a wide-array of special abilities which take place of standard utility in other tactical FPS games....

Riot Games announced that the ranked system that the company had been preparing for Valorant would be delayed. Though the plan had been to release competitive mode for Valorant soon, Riot told fans that it has to postpone it due to some issues with the game that need to be fixed before the ranked system can be implemented. The game got off to a great start with the popular closed beta, but since Valorant has been released as the full game, its popularity is starting to subside....

Wasteland 3 is a brilliant RPG, as you can see in our review there. And what to brilliant RPGs all have in common? Atrributes! Numbers! Loads of stats so you can create spreadsheets in your mind before heading into battle. We’ll talk you through some of that in this Wasteland 3 guide. In Wasteland 3, there are seven different attributes that govern different stats. During character creation, each of your squad has a certain number of points they can put into different attributes, and after they reach level 3 they get to put a point into an attribute of their choice....

Many of the announcements that made up the biggest reveals from today’s Ubisoft Forward may have been teased or leaked beforehand, but the publisher still had quite a few surprises to share. Perhaps the most surprising of these was the announcement that popular British rapper Stormzy will be appearing in Watch Dogs Legion. For the uninitiated, Stormzy is a multi-award-winning artist with multiple chart-topping albums under his belt, who first gained fame on the UK underground music scene for his series of freestyle raps over classic grime beats....

This The Simpsons review contains spoilers. The Simpsons Season 33 Episode 4 Love meant never having to say you’re sorry until The Simpsons’ “The Wayz We Were.” Moe himself puts it best at the ending, the song is pretty good, but the movie, well, he didn’t like it. That might explain why he is sadly miscast. What doesn’t work is how it turns Moe into mush. This isn’t in response to his lovelorn demeanor, but because he’s not his usual anti-effervescent self....

The new community voted pack, The Sims 4: Nifty Knitting comes with a brand new feature called Plopsy. This is an online marketplace designed for Sims to be able to sell their knitted items and other craftables to random unseen NPCs via the mailbox. Items are listed, buyers are found, and then the goods are sent, simple. There’s no need to purchase a retail store and no requirement to hold a yard sale....

The end of The Walking Dead is just the beginning. With the series finale of AMC’s flagship zombie drama set to drop sometime this fall, the TWD universe isn’t so much concluding as expanding further. From the ashes of this finale will rise at least three new spinoff series, joining original companion show Fear the Walking Dead, meaning AMC will soon have four Walking Dead series on TV for those fans who want zombies all year round....

Aliens: Colonial Marines is a perfect example of a game that wasn’t able to hold its own on release. It’s a game that promised something that just wasn’t there in the final retail version. The War Z however, is a game that took this problem and magnified it to an entirely new level. The title was released on Steam on December 17th 2012 and within the month was pulled off because of false advertisement claims and serious quality concerns in the Steam forums....

There’s a brand-new Dreams horror game that looks suitably terrifying, and it’s primed and ready to give you some spooks right now! The game is called Sereno and is a first-person horror game that was made by Lightinho Games using Media Molecule’s Dreams - a digital creative platform for PlayStation 4 that lets you make your own games, music, paintings, animation, sculpture, movies, or “anything in-between” and share them with other players....

A very brief fanmade clip of what a modern-day Superman game might look like has got us hoping someone more official is working on the real thing. Superhero culture has taken over the movie and TV world and is well on its way to doing the same thing to video games. Marvel’s Spider-Man and Miles Morales are two of the best games to come out of the Insomniac studio in the past decade....

eXistenZ raises questions about reality in a unique way as the greatest Sci-Fi films do. The fact that this movie was released one month after the beloved movie The Matrix, which it shares themes with, may have resulted in the movie not receiving the attention it deserves. Over two decades after the release of these movies, stories about living in a simulation are everywhere. WandaVision is one of the most popular shows currently and deals with the Scarlet Witch living in a fantasy tv show reality that she is in some way responsible for creating....
