Earlier today, Xbox Game Pass confirmed that it was bringing back a popular game that it had previously removed. As it stands, no one knows what this game is, but there’s been plenty of speculation. Of all the games it could be, there seems to be two that fans are hoping get added back to Game Pass: Red Dead Redemption 2 or Fallout 4. The former fits the bill quite well, but at least in comparison to Fallout 4, it seems unlikely....
It’s one of those classic debates that keeps popping up over and over: who truly is the greatest action hero of all time? Is it Stallone, who played John Rambo in one of the most famous action franchises of all time? Or perhaps Bruce Willis, for his turn as John McClane in Die Hard. Maybe someone more out there like Nicolas Cage or Daniel Craig? Well, according to BetVictor.com, there are objective ways to measure this sort of thing, and they came up with one actor who bests them all....
With the growing popularity of videos spoofing Overwatch’s signature Play of the Game, this video mashes up Play of the Game with some of Destiny’s most memorable moments. Blizzard’s hero shooter, Overwatch, has a unique feature at the end of every match. The game grants one player’s actions during a particular part of the match (usually multikills) as Play of the Game, and then plays a clip of that moment back to every person in that match....

While the original programmer had long since lost the cheat code to access the game, it didn’t take dataminers much time to dig up the hidden treasure.

When used with the arcade machine found in Homefront, you’ll unlock the stunning 4K port of TimeSplitters 2....
Twitch streamer Greekgodx has been banned from Twitch. Originally starting out on Twitch as a stream-sniper of fellow Twitch streamer loltyler1, Greekgodx garnered over 1.36 million followers on the streaming platform since he first joined in 2010. While Greek has recently been in the limelight for his weight-loss journey, it seems that Twitch’s recent slew of bans may have caught up to the popular streamer. Seemingly out of nowhere on November 30, Greekgodx received an indefinite ban from the streaming platform....
Two months after Valve released its digital card game Artifact, the game lost almost 100% of its playerbase. The Artifact Twitch directory was then used to stream basically everything except for Artifact itself, including violent, copyrighted movies, pornography, and even a copy of the terrible livestream of the Christchurch, New Zealand mosque massacres where 51 people were killed. Twitch cracked down on this kind of content by banning the accounts of people who post it....
Batman fans are in their element right now, with a flurry of Dark Knight projects scheduled for the near future.

In addition to all of this exciting content, two new Lego Batman sets have been spotted online, which will please fans of the 1966 television series....
Ubisoft has officially responded to complaints regarding the opening cinematic for the mobile game Tom Clancy’s Elite Squad with an apology. The video depicts a violent, organized uprising plotted by the game’s villains using a fist symbol commonly associated in modern times with the Black Panther Party and Black Lives Matter movements. Ubisoft states that its inclusion of this symbol in the video “was insensitive and harmful” and is promising that the symbol will be removed by Tuesday, September 1 on Android with an iOS update to follow....
Warner Bros Interactive Entertainment is hard at work making a ton of video games that are all coming out in the coming two years. And to help them get there, the company is hiring a Games Production Summer Intern, according to a recently spotted job listing. “The WBIE Production Summer Intern will have the opportunity to learn about the way a game publisher evaluates new game opportunities by working closely with the Executive Producer,” reads the job ad....
Coins in Valheim come from a variety of sources, and players are likely to obtain them in some quantity through standard gameplay. Once a fan has some Coins, though, they be confused about what to do with them, as there is little information about the currency in-game. Alleviating that confusion is the precise purpose of this guide, and it will explain exactly what Coins are for in Valheim. To put things simply, Coins can be used to purchase a number of items from Haldor, a trader in Valheim that appears in Black Forest biomes....
One million is less than a week. Two million in less than two weeks. Three million in under three weeks, four million in less than four weeks, and now five million in less than a month (February has just 28 days, remember). Valheim just cannot be stopped. Besides having the most ridiculous sales numbers of any game ever released on Steam Early Access, Valheim has also broken into the top three games on the platform in terms of concurrent players, with a peak of almost 500,000 two weeks ago....
Valheim developer Iron Gate today released a new dev blog, showing off a reworked model for trolls and offering a sneak peek at the Hearth and Home update. When the next patch arrives in Valheim, trolls will look a bit more menacing than usual. Sporting some flashy green nails, more unsightly hair, and a physique worthy of any gym rat, the updated model looks much more imposing than its goofy-old self....
There’s a black market for everything, it seems, as eBay listings reveal sellers offering VALORANT beta access for as low as $50 and up to several hundred. The news is not much of a surprise considering that beta drops have only started trickling out yesterday and are completely random. A viewer on Twitch hoping for a key might spend weeks without seeing a key, so turning to an account seller might not seem like a bad idea....
This Van Helsing review contains spoilers. Van Helsing Season 2 Episode 1 “What’s wrong with hope?” Never underestimate a mother in pursuit of her child. In one of the most poignant and frightening season-ending cliffhangers, last year’s finale of SyFy’s Van Helsing finds Vanessa standing face to face with the daughter she’s devoted every waking hour to finding amidst the chaos raining down on the Pacific Northwest. Unfortunately, for Vanessa, as one journey ends, another more arduous one begins....
It was sixty years ago when Godzilla first popped out of the ocean and, given as he’d never been there before, decided to pay a visit to Tokyo. Maybe it makes sense that the aging star should opt to mark the anniversary with a new film directed by hip American Gareth Edwards instead of another Toho contract player. Look at what Blue Velvet did for Roy Orbison’s career and Rick Rubin did for Johnny Cash’s, right?...
Warcraft director Duncan Jones discusses the possibility of a sequel on Twitter, stating that no plans have been made yet while sharing details on what the sequel could cover. Despite a potentially strong contender in the Assassin’s Creed film that debuted late in 2016, Duncan Jones’ Warcraft remains the most successful video game movie of all time, thanks largely in part to its strong presence in China. Despite Warcraft’s claim to that title, however, the film is still on track to miss the mark and lose money overall, as video game movies still struggle to break through with mainstream audiences....
Warcraft comes to the screen loaded with baggage: not just the weight of a 22-year-old video game empire (and the vast canon associated with it), but the long, bloody trail of failed attempts to bring such games to mainstream movie audiences. On paper, the hiring of Duncan Jones as director seemed to be the missing ingredient lacking from all those previous disappointments; not only an avid gamer with a deep passion for this particular series, Jones also showed a flair for bringing character and intelligence to his previous films, Moon and Source Code....
Warner Bros is facing scrutiny after a former executive filed a lawsuit against the media giant, alleging discrimination and harassment based on gender. The ex-executive in question claims these toxic practices were the cause of her termination from the company, and that she was fired as a direct result of her previously speaking out about the alleged abuse. The claimant, Susan Steen, worked at Warner Bros from 1987 to December of 2018, eventually rising through the ranks to Senior Vice President of Worldwide Theatrical Marketing....
Around three months ago, players would’ve been jumping into the world of Watch Dogs Legion, had the game reached its original release date. Ubisoft made a seismic shift last year to its upcoming release lineup, largely in response to Ghost Recon Breakpoint’s poor critical and commercial response. Along with Watch Dogs, several games originally set for Winter/Spring 2020 were pushed back indefinitely as a result, such as Gods & Monsters and Rainbow Six Quarantine....
