This Nintendo Direct was officially announced yesterday via the Nintendo of America Twitter account - you can check out the tweet for yourself below, which includes all of the relevant information about how to watch today’s event. Reason: Nintendo Reports More Than 26 Million Switch Online Members...

Imagine, if you will, waiting five years for a sequel to a fantastic game. Then imagine that you only get half of that sequel. Then imagine never getting the second half because the team gets shuffled around to finish another team’s trilogy. If you’re a Deus Ex fan, you don’t have to imagine any of this - that’s literally what happened. Deus Ex: Human Revolution was, to me, one of the greatest science fiction stories to come out of the triple-A space....

This Westworld review contains spoilers. Westworld Season 4 Episode 6 Anyone who has ever played video games can empathize with Caleb (Aaron Paul) during “Fidelity,” the sixth episode of the fourth season of Westworld. I was never the kind of person who could sit and do a speed-run of any game, probably because I didn’t have the hand-eye coordination necessary to succeed, and I tend to like to explore games rather than just going from point A to point B as quickly as possible....

Among all the exciting titles players are hoping to get their hands on in 2021, there is one long-dead franchise that some fans can’t wait to see return, especially on next-gen consoles. This would be Hideo Kojima’s Metal Gear Solid series, which has seemingly been on permanent hiatus since Metal Gear Survive released after the series’ creator left Konami. Now, there are new next-gen consoles and PC tech to enhance the cinematic quality of the Metal Gear Solid series, adding ray tracing and higher frame rates to Kojima’s iconic style....

For some, the 2016 Ghostbusters reboot is a solid comedy, unfairly maligned and largely underrated. For others, who are hopefully still reading this sentence and haven’t jumped directly to the comments, the 2016 Ghostbusters is a humor graveyard. But for Chris Hemsworth, the movie marked a change in his career path, giving him tools that he still uses today. In a recap of his previous roles for GQ, Hemsworth recalled the trepidation he felt when he came into the film....

While the first two generations of the Pokemon series had relatively few legendary Pokemon in their Pokedex, with Red & Blue only having four and Gold & Silver having five, the Hoenn games, Ruby & Sapphire, decided to kick it up a notch and add eight legendary Pokemon to its games. This wasn’t the only increase in rare Pokemon, as there were also two mythical Pokemon found in Hoenn with Jirachi and Deoxys, which couldn’t be obtained without triggering in-game events, whereas previous games only had one in both Mew and Celebi....

Galax has released images on Expreview for an after-market Nvidia GeForce RTX-3090 graphics card that will fit in perfectly with a LEGO computer case. It is called the RTX 3090 GAMER. It is unknown at this time where or when it will be available and for what price, but at present it is described as a “non-public” card. Building a computer is a lot like building LEGO, in that all the pieces must fit together precisely and securely, so the combination is a natural one....

Colors Live will turn your Nintendo Switch into an actual art tablet thanks to this innovative new pressure-sensitive stylus. Some of you might remember the game Colors! for the Nintendo DS. It was a game about art–or a game that teaches you how to art. Or maybe both. It used the DS’s dual screens and built-in stylus to let you always make beautiful art on the go, wherever and whenever you wanted....

Following today’s reveal that Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1 + 2 would see the first two games in the Pro Skater series remade for modern consoles, it seems players are more excited than ever to return to the series roots. With Tony Hawk Pro Skater 5 launching with a myriad of bugs and issues back in 2015, it appears Vicarious Visions’ take on the iconic skating franchise could finally be the major comeback for the series that fans have been begging to see for over a decade....

There’s actually way more to this free update than just some Crash Bandicoot-themed cosmetic items, but we’re going to start with that since there’s just no other way Activision’s orange critter would get any air time. Yes, Crash Bandicoot is invading Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2, offering a new board, shirts, and hats. Since both Crash and Tony are owned by Activision, then this crossover is not only possible but destined to happen....

HBO has announced the castings for both Joel and Ellie for the HBO adaptation of Naughty Dog’s action-adventure video games The Last of Us. Just yesterday, star of the hit Disney+ show The Mandalorian, Pedro Pascal was announced to be playing Joel. Pascal recently also appeared as Maxwell Lord in DC’s Wonder Woman 1984, and also played the role of Oberyn Martell in Game of Thrones. Now, the talented voice actor behind Joel in The Last of Us video game titles, Troy Baker, has given his support to Pascal’s casting....

Three months after Scott Pilgrim creator Bryan Lee O’Malley asked to bring back the Scott Pilgrim video game, Ubisoft has reportedly reached out to make it happen. Maybe. Yeah, the new Streets of Rage game is pretty good for a beat ’em up, but you know what was even better? Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World: The Game. Yes, the name is a bit of a mouthful, but once you get past the excessive syllables you see that Scott Pilgrim was always supposed to be a video game and not a movie or even a series of comic books....

Destiny is set to receive a patch this month that will fix an ongoing Trials of Osiris bug as well as add other quality of life improvements. While Bungie announced that Hot Fix 2.6.0.2 would be coming in April, the developer only highlighted a couple bugs that would get squashed in the upcoming patch. One of those bugs, which Destiny fans have been complaining about since the launch of Age of Triumph, causes Trials of Osiris matches to go on indefinitely....

Draw Distance has released a new trailer for the upcoming Vampire: The Masquerade - Shadows of New York, the next expected title in the Vampire: The Masquerade visual novel series. This is a separate title from the highly anticipated PS5 release of Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2. The gameplay trailer gives a new look at Shadows of New York, providing an idea of what to expect in the upcoming visual novel....

Niantic’s mega-popular mobile game Pokemon GO has seen its fair share of clones and competitors since it launched in July 2016. There are the likes of Jurassic World Alive which has players catching dinosaurs, Draconius GO which has creatures and magical items, and most recently The Walking Dead: Our World got in on the trend. Arguably the weirdest Pokemon GO-style AR game yet is Follow JC GO!, which is a religious character collectible game that has The Vatican’s backing....

I remember seeing Venom in the cinema with my dad and brother on opening night back in 2018. I knew precious little about it going in, save that Tom Hardy was flexing his Legend experience to play both Eddie Brock and Venom - who are technically the same person, but have very different personalities. Critical consensus, though? Mate, I went straight from work. I didn’t even know the film was out until I was ordering my popcorn....

For decades now, the Doom Slayer (previously known as Doom Guy) has been killing hellspawn to the tune of metal-inspired songs. Whether it be the MIDI-fied versions of popular rock songs in the original Doom by Bobby Prince or the seriously heavy synth metal of Doom Eternal by Mick Gordon, it’s pretty obvious what the Slayer listens to. This guy just loves his hard-hitting thrash. So that got me to thinking about what real-world tracks the Slayer would put on his iPod (or whatever you kids listen to music on nowadays)....

The original Warhammer: The End Times - Vermintide was something of a sleeper hit, with fans of the Warhammer tabletop game happy to take part in an action-focused cooperative experience. The game has gathered itself enough fans to warrant a sequel, and developer Fatshark Games has just released a gameplay reveal trailer for Warhammer: Vermintide 2. This sequel certainly seems to offer more of the same, with fast-paced co-op gameplay and some frantic Left 4 Dead-esque action....

Wasteland 3 has a wide variety of skills that players can put points into to customize their characters. These skills are divided into combat, general, exploration, and social skills. Exploration skills are primarily used outside of combat while traveling the world. Here’s a guide to the different exploration skills. Armor Modding The armor modding skill covers, as the name suggests, adding mods to armor. These mods can increase the stats of a piece of armor or add other effects....
