Originally released in October of last year, the two-player co-op puzzle adventure, We Were Here Together, will be making its way to Xbox One on June 5th. With the third entry into the We Were Here series, players can take advantage of the game’s new in-game mechanics within its new locations; from the expedition base camp, to the frozen caves and valleys, and finally entering the less-than-welcoming Castle Rock. New puzzle mechanics also make their way into the game, although not all of the puzzles hit as well as we would have liked them to when we reviewed We Were Here Together on PC last year....

This The Orville review contains spoilers. The Orville Season 2 Episode 4 I’m not going to make any bones about this: I like The Orville. It’s fun, it’s occasionally smart, and it does a great job poking old Star Trek tropes with a stick and often making them smarter. However, the latest episode seems like an unnecessary rip-off of Star Trek: Discovery’s big season 1 twist. Is The Orville trying to make Trek loyalists mad?...

The Clovehitch Killer, currently streaming on Hulu, follows the story of Tyler Burnside, a sixteen-year-old boy living in the town of Clarksville, Kentucky. Part of a devout Christian family, most of Tyler’s time is spent working on obtaining his scout badges, with the help of his father, the scout master. After he finds a photograph of a tied and bound woman in his father’s truck, Tyler begins to suspect his father has some connection to a serial killer....

Warhammer 40K fans! If, like me, you’ve been living in a cave recently, then perhaps the most exciting Warhammer 40K announcement of all time will have escaped you. Just in case you missed it… Zoats are back! If you play Blackstone Fortress, that is. Only the wisest (sic old) of Warhammer 40K players will probably have heard of the Zoats. The rest of you, and probably the majority, are scratching your heads right now....

In an interesting turn of events, National Geographic’s television series adaptation of Tom Wolfe’s The Right Stuff became a Disney+ streaming offering, reviving the seemingly-abandoned cultural attribute of wonder and optimism. Nat Geo, which went into development on the 8-episode television adaptation of The Right Stuff back in 2017, made the move this past May to export its scripted original to Disney+, setting a fall release window. The series will, of course, live up as the namesake of Wolfe’s 1979 novel and director Philip Kaufman’s iconic 1983 movie by chronicling the Space Race-era story of NASA’s 1958-1963 Project Mercury, specifically the lives of the pioneering astronauts who endeavored to reach farther than ever past the atmosphere, becoming celebrities in what could be considered America’s first reality show....

I have been a huge fan of Harley Quinn ever since I first saw her in Batman: The Animated Series, so it’s been great to see her burst out from her status as a notable comic book character to reach prominent pop culture icon status. Kickstarted by her scene-stealing roles in the Batman: Arkham games after over a decade of solid groundwork in the comics, A-lister Margot Robbie then took the acid bath, followed by a Kaley Cuoco led-animated series....

CD Projekt Red may be in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons with Cyberpunk 2077, but The Witcher is still kicking after it’s 3rd game with Netflix’s live-action show and several spin-offs underway. One of these, Nightmare of the Wolf, an anime film, has just had its logo dropped online. The logo appears to be a more monstrous rendition of the Witcher’s School of the Wolf logo. The reveal, toppled with some unsettling sound effects, is clearly hinting at a more horror driven direction being taken with the project....

In the first season of The Witcher on Netflix, Princess Cirilla of Cintra, better known as Ciri, was the proverbial babe in the woods, and her story arc was mostly separate from the main focus on Geralt’s adventures and Yennefer’s rise to power. However, in the season 2 trailer that premiered at WitcherCon, it’s clear that the main perspective has shifted to Ciri and the fulfilling of her destiny under Geralt’s tutelage....

Showrunner Lauren Hissrich decided to take liberties with The Witcher’s season 1 timeline when telling each main character’s individual story. Geralt and Yennefer’s stories took place in the past, while Ciri’s story loosely took place in the present. Hissirch’s decision ended up being the biggest criticism thrown at the show, and she plans to adjust things accordingly. During an interview with The Wrap, Hissrich confirmed The Witcher’s second season wouldn’t have the same multi-timeline format that the first season does....

In the world of Pokémon, a child is allowed to go on a Pokémon journey when they reach the age of ten. Ash Ketchum is still ten years old after all these years, even though the show has been going since 1997. The reason for this is to appeal to the kids who are the target audience of the Pokémon franchise so that they can imagine themselves going on a Pokémon journey of their own....

Although there still are a ton of movie theaters still shut down around the US, people can still get some great summer movies while sitting at home with Disney+ this summer. The streaming service will be adding big movies like a Broadway production of Hamilton, Incredibles 2, and even some recent X-Men movies. Disney+ is the newest in a long line of streaming services, similar to Netflix. With big names in the industry skipping the theaters, like the new SpongeBob SquarePants movie Sponge on the Run, it’s not a surprise that people are flocking to streaming services for their entertainment....

As Jason Todd aptly put it, Titans are back, bitches. Following a season 2 premiere that wrapped up the Rachel/Trigon storyline, the season seemed to truly begin last week. The story skipped ahead three months, introducing a new direction for the show where Dick Grayson is training his young recruits, Donna and Kory are super-sleuthing, and Hank and Dawn are trying out the quiet life on a Wyoming ranch. “We launched into a new chapter of Titans 2....

Activision has brought the end of Crash Team Racing: Nitro Fueled’s Grand Prix events. Going forward players will be able to unlock content with the Wumpa Challenge system.

Slated for release on September 3, 2020, The Furious Wild DLC will take players on an adventure into the jungles of southern China and introduce the Nanman warrior culture.

Luke James Munday, a former Twitch streamer who was known by the name MrDeadMoth, has plead guilty to common assault. The 26 year old Sydney, Australia resident was streaming Fortnite at the time of the assault on December 10, 2018, with the audio of what happened captured live on the stream. Munday’s wife, identified in court documents as Grace Campbell, was attempting to get Munday to stop playing Fortnite and eat dinner with his family....

At the beginning of March, For Honor’s publisher and developer Ubisoft put forth warnings to the hack-and-slash game’s community that it would not tolerate AFK farming, which has now led to the issuing of the first wave of bans to thousands of players that the company has declared are guilty of the practice. According to Ubisoft, around 1500 players have received a three-day ban for AFK farming, with the studio detecting roughly 4000 new AFK farmers that are set to receive a warning soon enough....

Developers for the forthcoming action-adventure title Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End release a brand new teaser video highlighting the game’s Plunder mode. Just ahead of its presence at PAX East in Boston this weekend, Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End developer Naughty Dog has revealed that it will be bringing back the franchise’s popular Plunder mode for the title’s multiplayer playlists. In fact, in order to better acquaint Uncharted 4 fans who may be unfamiliar with Plunder’s gameplay style, the studio has also released a short trailer showing actual in-game action for the mode....

Valheim has been taking the world by storm and it’s easy to see why. Exploring Viking Purgatory while trying to survive and thrive against harsh enemies is an incredibly fun experience alone, let alone with a whole group of friends playing co-op online. One of the coolest parts about the game is how customizable it can become with Console Commands. Players have the ability to seriously alter their worlds using these or various cheat codes which makes their gameplay experience that much more unique and enjoyable....

World of Warcraft may have drawn in more than 12 million subscribers at its peak, but it’s a safe bet to say that the majority of those players weren’t all experts of Azeroth lore. One of the great things about WoW is that you can enjoy the game whether you’re invested in the overarching story of Azeroth or not. The Warcraft franchise spans close to a dozen games worth of story including expansions plus a stack of comics, novels, and other tie-ins....

Warhammer boasts a sprawling universe that spans tabletop and video games alike. Although franchise creator Games Workshop currently wants more AAA Warhammer games, it appears that an independent Canadian studio will be developing the latest Warhammer game. During the first day of Gamescom, Gasket Games unveiled a first look at Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Storm Ground. According to the Gamescom teaser, Storm Ground will arrive in 2021 for the Nintendo Switch, PC, the PS4, and the Xbox One....
