Remakes and remasters have become a massive trend during the jump to current-gen hardware, and it doesn’t seem to be going anywhere anytime soon. Setting aside the backward compatibility coming to Xbox One later this year, Microsoft has yet to yield in its quest to provide consumers with the enhanced, albeit existing, experiences that they seem most vocal for – cue Gears of War: Ultimate Edition. Toting itself as much more than just a remaster, some significant enhancements are said to have been implemented into the final product that’ll provide fans with a more modern take on the Xbox 360 classic....

The series is an unusual blend of the horror, action, and thriller genres and it’s part of the reason that the Predator has remained such a popular monster since his debut in John McTiernan’s 1987 classic....

This Lord of the Rings article contains spoilers for The Rings of Power. There are lots of special swords in Tolkien’s mythology – Narsil, the broken blade that Isildur used against Sauron; Glamdring and Orcrist, ancient Elven swords found in a trolls’ cave by Gandalf and Thorin Oakenshield; and Sting, Bilbo’s short sword from the same cave.

In the upcoming six episodes that make up “season 10C”, the sixth episode will feature Jeffrey Dean Morgan’s real life wife, actress Hilarie Burton, portraying Negan’s long lost spouse.

This The Walking Dead review contains spoilers. The Walking Dead Season 11 Episode 16 One last mid-season finale, and that will be all she wrote for The Walking Dead.

One of the standout accomplishments of the first season of The Witcher was the sheer addictiveness of the song, “Toss a Coin To Your Witcher” as sung by Joey Batey, who plays the bard Jaskier in the show. Now lightning has struck twice with the season 2 entry, “Burn, Butcher, Burn,” which is just as much of an earworm. Given that it’s been awhile since we last saw Jaskier, the circumstances related by the lyrics might have been forgotten by some....

It’s fair to say that Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2 is the highest point the skateboarding franchise has reached in almost two decades. The action-packed arcade-style gameplay is as a fun as ever, and nobody had to reinvent the wheel to make it happen. That’s exactly why the Tony Hawk series absolutely needs to keep the remakes coming. Personally, I hadn’t purchased a Tony Hawk game in just short of fifteen years, last playing Tony Hawk’s American Wasteland all the way back in 2005....

Now, the remake of the classic games is coming to additional platforms....

The massive streaming service Twitch allows gamers to connect over practically every game imaginable; however, this connection isn’t as flawless as many may wish.
