Van Helsing Returns For A Final Season And Adds Time Travel To Its Narrative Palette

This Van Helsing article contains major spoilers for the season 5 premiere. From the dynamically retooled opening title sequence to the Jack-centric Transylvania storyline, it takes only moments to recognize that Van Helsing’s fifth and final season promises to take fans on a wild ride as it brings to a close its delightfully circuitous tale of horror’s most iconic vampire hunting family. Season premiere “Past Tense” doesn’t represent the first time the Van Helsing family story finds itself in the past, but there seems to be a more concerted effort this time to employ traditional time travel elements as the unanswered questions mount....

Virtual Reality Support Possible For Future Dark Souls Titles

If there’s one thing that comes to mind when thinking about the Dark Souls series, it’s masochism. The challenges presented by the series are never insurmountable, but they can often feel as though they are skirting that line. Despite this, gamers continue to come back in hopes of progressing that little bit further. Whether it’s the sense of accomplishment or the viscerally satisfying gameplay, there’s something about the series that grabs on and doesn’t let go....

War Of The Worlds Season 2 Episode 6 Review Kill Bill Or Be Killed

This War of the Worlds review contains spoilers. Mind. Blown. Zut alors! How is this possible?! Such was Catherine’s reaction to realising that the Invaders had travelled to Earth not through space, but through time. It was a total revelation for the physicist – proof of concepts previously held only in theory. For Dr Durand, it changed everything. Catherine’s amazement was enviable, because for us, it changed nothing. Ever since Emily’s tattoo was spotted on the arm of that dying alien in the season one finale, it’s been taken as read that the Invaders were time travellers (time travel being a much less rare phenomenon to encounter for sci-fi TV fans than it is for French astrophysicists)....

Warzone Devs Confirm A Ps5 And Xbox Series X Upgrade Is In Development

Raven Software has confirmed its team is hard at work creating a next-gen upgrade for Call of Duty: Warzone. The transition from last-gen to new-gen consoles this time around has been unlike any other. Five months in and neither the PS5 nor the Xbox Series X/S offer much in the way of exclusives.

Watch Almost 20 Minutes Of South Park The Fractured But Whole Gameplay

The YouTube channel Arekkz Gaming gives fans a look at roughly 20 minutes of gameplay from Ubisoft’s forthcoming title South Park: The Fractured But Whole. In order to promote South Park: The Fractured But Whole, Ubisoft has used a lot of its resources over the last few months to create several clips involving the title’s gameplay, such as the combat-driven footage shown in its gamescom 2016 trailer. Of course, as many fans will likely agree, while these bite-sized snippets of action and in-game materials have been appetizing, they have only caused an even greater craving for more gameplay from the studio’s forthcoming South Park: The Fractured But Whole....

The Sims 4 And The Sims 5 Will Never Please The Sims Community

Currently, The Sims 4 community is seeing a lot of negativity, mostly as a result of the recent Eco Lifestyle expansion pack announcement. Many players feel that the theme, which was first touted back in 2017 as part of a Stuff Pack vote, has no place being an expansion pack. This is mostly because elements of environmental living are already in The Sims 4. Seasons brought a gardening overhaul for all, Island Living introduced a changing world affected by your actions as well as the off-the-grid lot trait, while Tiny Living introduced reduced bills for smaller houses....
