The United Kingdom is slowly starting to open back up and resume film and television productions. Many studios have erred on the side of caution, holding off productions for the health and safety of their crew. However, even after 1,936 new cases of COVID were reported on Sunday, the country is still trying to restart the industry that made them £3.6 billion in 2019.

Most attribute the strong sales and staying power to the gameplay and the writing, which has focused on jaw-dropping set pieces and witty banter, but few can deny the strength of Uncharted’s characters. Ever since bursting onto the scene with his half tuck and perfect haircut, Nathan Drake has seemingly been Sony’s number 1 mascot, promoting everything from PlayStation systems to Naughty Dog’s own Uncharted franchise....
2022 has concluded, and the year kept PlayStation owners busy. The year produced games like Elden Ring, Gran Turismo 7, Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands, Horizon Forbidden West, God of War Ragnarok, and Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, all titles that garnered critical acclaim.

Yesterday, US media outlets called the general election for President-Elect Joe Biden. This came after Pennsylvania’s vote count swapped from Republican to Democrat, handing Biden the necessary number of Electoral College votes to secure the presidency. Most of us were relieved to finally have a winner and end months of what will certainly be noted as one of America’s ugliest elections. But it didn’t quite end with the election being called....
Like most survival games, Valheim restricts how much players can carry on them with inventory size and carry weight limits. Between these two features, players are forced to think wisely about which materials they pick up and take with them on their journeys, as it’s rather annoying finding one’s carry weight maxed out and being unable to pick up a rare material. Unfortunately, there’s currently no way to increase a character’s inventory size in the game, meaning players are stuck with what they have in that regard....

DC has a wide range of comics and stories that they publish, but one of the more unique ones on the horizon is Flash Facts: Ten Terrific Tales about Science and Technology....
Watch Dogs 2 has some wacky and funky characters, with crazy weapons to boot. Aside from the military weapons, there are various hacker-themed weapons to spice up gameplay. The youthful community at DedSec, a group of hacktivists, are endowed with some firepower that is exclusively for their use. The weapons themselves are also brimming with personality.
