The Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater franchise has made a triumphant return with the Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2 remake. Many fans had been worried that the game would miss the features that made the original titles special, but Tony Hawk’s Pros Skater 1+2 has been critically acclaimed and so far, it seems that the majority of fans are enjoying the title as well. Of course, a big selling point of the franchise is its titular star, Tony Hawk and he made the game feel more real than ever to celebrate its release....

The Apex Legends ban hammer has been utilized. Two of the top players in ranked-mode in Apex Legends have just been banned for cheating; one of which has been caught cheating in the past as well. Season 8 of Apex Legends will begin shortly, on February 2, 2021. Along with a new Legend, new weapon, map changes, and more, there will be a Ranked Mode reset. But at least a few players will not be able to partake in that grind to Apex Predator rank, as two of the top ten players in the world were caught cheating....

The expression, “War is Hell,” is pretty self-explanatory. However, Creative Assembly - the team behind Total War: Three Kingdoms - is about to put an exclamation mark on that statement with their upcoming DLC pack for the game, fittingly titled, Reign of Blood. Feel free to pause reading to queue up some Slayer. The Reign of Blood DLC comes less than a month after Total War: Three Kingdoms was released, featuring gory and graphic effects and animations that will be applied to the massive battles taking place throughout ancient China....

When most of us love something – a film, a band, a football team – we express that love by wearing the t-shirt or getting a tattoo. When Nick Frost, Simon Pegg and their mates love something, they express it by making a feature film trilogy. Or a cult 90s TV series. Or eight-part comedy-horror Truth Seekers. Truth Seekers, co-created by Frost, Pegg, Nat Saunders and James Serafinowicz, is the product of fandom....

It’s the beginning of a new month, which means gamers everywhere have a ton of free games to look forward to on their platform of choice. PlayStation and Xbox have both shown their hands for October, and now it’s Twitch’s turn, as they’ve finally released the list of free games Twitch Prime members can snag this month. Heading off the list is Darksiders: Warmastered Edition from THQ Nordic. It has a lot in common with traditional Legend of Zelda games, so fans of that franchise should feel right at home....

While the OfflineTV group is known for the fun content they create on Twitch and YouTube, drama is coming out of the streaming house as well as one of their members. Federico “Fedmyster” Gaytan will no longer be living at the house due to sexual assault allegations from the house manager, Yvonne “Yvonnie” Ng. A wave of accusations has been coming out against Twitch streamers recently, prompting #TWITCHBLACKOUT to trend on Twitter....

One of the key factors in the upcoming title from Namco, SoulCalibur V, is the multi-year time skip that takes place before the game. The 17-year gap between games means that a number of characters will look and possibly fight differently - not to mention opens the door for new characters to make their debut. We already know, as a result of the E3 2011 trailer, that long-time favorites Siegfried and Mitsurugi would be returning for SoulCalibur V, and we’ll have two new characters in Patroklos and his sister Pyrrha....

The creative director of Uncharted pokes fun at the similarity between the box art for Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection and Rise of the Tomb Raider on PS4. It was announced today that Rise of the Tomb Raider will end its timed exclusivity with the Xbox One and will be appearing on PlayStation 4 on October 11. To honor the long-standing Tomb Raider franchise, the game will come in a 20 Year Celebration edition, which includes all the previously released DLC for Rise of the Tomb Raider plus some new modes....

A new season of television is upon us, even if it may not exactly feel like it due to COVID-19 slowing many productions. Despite these setbacks, the animation world has been able to forge ahead more successfully than the rest of television. And anime in particular is set to premiere many new series this year that were previously delayed. Each TV season is full of new and returning anime and it can often be overwhelming to determine which of the lot are worth the investment....

The Elder is the Black Forest boss, and the second boss fight players will encounter in Valheim at large. This angry tree isn’t too difficult to take down, especially if you’ve read through our Elder boss guide, but it’s the next steps of progression that leave some questions hanging over player’s heads. Once defeated, you’ll get your hands on the Swamp Key, which opens the crypts in the Swamp biome, as well as the Elder Trophy and Elder Power....

Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2, the vampire role-playing game based on the tabletop RPG by White Wolf Publishing, is being delayed again. The developers at Hardsuit Labs are delaying the game to next year in order to ensure that it’ll meet the company’s standards of quality. Set in modern-day Seattle, Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 puts players in the role of a newly-Embraced vampire finding their way in their newfound world of vampire clan intrigue and slowly gaining power....

Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2, the sequel to Troika Games’ 2004 cult-classic, is set to release some time in the latter half of 2021. Bloodlines 2 is being developed by Hardsuit Labs, though its release date has been pushed back twice due to staffing issues, the Covid-19 pandemic, and a delay in receiving PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S development kits. Despite the delays, hype is still strong among fans of the original game, with the hope being that Bloodlines 2 will be polished enough to live up to its predecessor....

This article contains WandaVision spoilers. Now that WandaVision episode 4 has expanded a bit to show more of what’s going on, it really ties into what made the first phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe work, but in a very surreal way. The first Avengers movie was about the culmination in connections and bringing together the top heroes that existed so far in continuity. Now that we’re four Avengers movies in and we’re taking our first step into the era of Marvel’s Disney+ TV shows, we have such an odd collection of characters from all over the MCU converging....

This article contains WandaVision spoilers. Remember early on in the promotional process for Marvel’s WandaVision we were promised that it would set up elements of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness? We knew that Elizabeth Olsen would also appear in that film, and it seemed logical that Benedict Cumberbatch would return the favor and appear as Stephen Strange in WandaVision. And then remember how we were promised mind-bending cameos that ultimately ended up being cool but not exactly Sorcerer Supreme level?...

Microtransactions have been an increasingly touchy subject for gamers in the last few years, especially since Star Wars Battlefront 2 found itself in the spotlight after DICE pushed consumers too far. Game developers have been hard-pressed to find innovative ways to increase revenue earned from titles, but today’s story is something else entirely: the developer of Warframe removed a microtransaction because it proved too successful. While some studios purposefully target high-spending gamers (who hold the industry nickname of “whales”), one man’s click-happy purchase binge changed the philosophy of the Warframe crew forever....

Ubisoft’s open-world game Watch Dogs Legion became a talking point on a BBC show about politics. Politics Live, a show which airs daily and talks about the biggest news in UK politics, spoke about whether the Watch Dogs Legion version of a post-Brexit London is really what England’s capital city could look like. The panelists of the BBC show seemed split on whether Watch Dogs Legion will provide an accurate look at post-Brexit London....

Though some gamers might disagree, mobile games have reached the same significance as most console games, which makes sense, as most people have access to smartphones and tablets. According to market database company, Statista, the mobile game industry’s projected market volume by 2027 is 221.7 billion dollars. It’s not a surprise that mobile gaming is still on the rise. After all, the market provides a wide array of genres suitable for any player!...

George Clooney recently reunited with his One Fine Day co-star Michelle Pfeiffer for an in-depth conversation on Variety’s Actors on Actors series. One of the projects the two discussed was 1997’s Batman & Robin, Clooney’s one and only stab at playing the Dark Knight on the big screen. Helmed by Joel Schumacher, the campy blockbuster was met with unanimously negative reviews and has gained a reputation as one of the worst comic book movies ever made....

(The team behind The One also made the updated War of the Worlds drama that aired around the same time as the BBC’s latest adaptation and is currently readying series two. Risk of confusion or comparison clearly doesn’t faze them.) Written by Misfits creator Howard Overman, The One is the eight-episode story of Rebecca Webb, the ruthless CEO of a billion pound introductions agency that has revolutionised love. Submit a DNA sample, pay the fee, and find your perfect genetic match....
