Let’s be clear about one thing: heroes definitely go down on their partners, regardless of what DC Comics says to the contrary. However, parent company Warner Bros. is sticking by DC’s earlier remarks and is even going as far as sending out copyright strikes to images shared on social media proving the opposite. Recently, Harley Quinn co-creator Justin Halpern revealed a planned scene for season three of the show where Batman performed oral sex on Catwoman....

During the Xbox Games Showcase pre-show, Watch Dogs Legion unveiled a brand new gameplay trailer highlighting its resistance mechanics and ability to control many playable characters to combat the corrupt authoritarian powers. The Watch Dogs series has always focused on technology-based mechanics implemented by hacker-based playable characters involved with the syndicate DedSec, combined with an open-world design. While both of the first two installments in the series followed a single protagonist for their playable characters, as the title might suggest, Watch Dogs Legion will utilize the ability to control multiple characters that can be recruited across the fictionalized London, all of who have differing abilities and skillsets....

Microsoft takes the stage at E3 2016 Monday afternoon and reveals the lineup of software and hardware changes coming to the Xbox One during the upcoming year. Watch the stream LIVE. Much like last year, Microsoft takes the stage Monday afternoon, following EA and Bethesda’s Sunday night specials. Last year Microsoft had to follow up Bethesda’s crazy Fallout 4 presentation with a lot of news about backward compatibility, but this year the Xbox One and Windows company should have plenty more to talk about....

E3 2020 might be canceled, but that hasn’t stopped game developers and publishers from making their usual suite of announcements both in preparation for and as part of the summer gaming season. Last week, Ubisoft lifted the veil off its latest Assassin’s Creed and Naughty Dog gave fans a new Last of Us Part 2 story trailer to sate their appetites, but most know the big guns are still lying in wait....

Afterlives: Maldraxxus is the most recent instalment in World of Warcraft’s Shadowlands series, and you can check out the entire short film for yourself right here. Afterlives: Maldraxxus is centered on Draka of the Frostwolf clan, who describes herself as a “warrior who gave everything to protect what mattered most.” In the midst of a roaring battlefield, Draka is seen reaching out for a baby, before the tone of the episode completely shifts....

COVID-19, unfortunately, currently shows little sign of slowing down. As everybody adjusted to the new normal of quarantines and lockdowns, films and TV have provided a balm of escape from the current situation. The issue is that the situation has now gone on so long that many recommendations of ‘comfort films’ have long since been watched, possibly more than once. Yet beyond the typical rom-coms and musicals (which are perfectly fine suggestions), there are other classic films that do not immediately seem to scream ‘comfort film’, but still provide satisfaction in their own peculiar way....

Phil Szostak, Lucasfilms’ creative art manager, has released art books for each of the three newest Star Wars movies. The latest compilation, The Art of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, just hit shelves. The book is a collection of works from different concept artists, each image a piece of inspiration behind the making of The Rise of Skywalker. One particular drawing by Jake Lunt Davies caught the eyes (and hearts) of fans: a sketch of a BB-8 Resistance tank....

The Outer Worlds was one of the top-ranked games of 2019, but it didn’t stop there. Obsidian’s pseudo-open world game released a new DLC, Peril on Gorgon, in September and has another lined up for release in 2021 titled Murder on Eridanos. The first DLC added a new asteroid to the map, but there are still three locked planets on The Outer Worlds map. One of these locked planets is Hephaestus, the one located closest to the sun on the map....

Since its initial announcement, The Witcher Netflix series has been careful to show fans just enough to get them excited without revealing too many of its secrets upfront. But now that Comic-Con is just a day away and a larger reveal is slated for later in the week, The Witcher is steadily revealing new looks at its many components. This week, the Netflix series finally gave fans a look at Roach, Geralt of Rivia’s reliable horse....

The world is going through some serious changes. As COVID vaccines slowly make their way through the country and world, people are hoping to be able to go out soon and enjoy the upcoming summer season in a relatively normal manner. However, a return to normal is still a few months off. Right now, you are better off still protecting yourself indoors and playing some video games or watching the recently released Snyder Cut of Justice League....

Fortnite continues to become less of a game and more of an entertainment hub/social media hybrid as the changes keep on coming this week. Fortnite loves a good crossover event, and one of its biggest to date took place during the build up to the release of The Rise of Skywalker. Its work with Star Wars has resurfaced this week in celebration of Star Wars Day. Players have been given a second chance to get some Star Wars-themed skins and best of all, lightsabers are back for a very limited time....

My latest passive gaming mission is completing the Pokedex. I’m not as daunted by the prospect of hunting 800+ Pokemon as some of my colleagues, but I also don’t feel like making it my main goal at the moment. I fit my search in around other games - a Dynamax raid in between AC: Valhalla missions here, a quick Pokemon Go transfer in between Battlefront matches there. As I revisit my collection in Pokemon Home - one that spans generations and platforms - I can’t help but feel a wave of warm nostalgia....

Tom Clancy fans rejoice, more information has been provided, along with a pre-register version, for Tom Clancy’s Elite Squad. The title is an Android and iOS game that will arrive on August 27, 2020. Tom Clancy’s Elite Squad is a free to play RPG. The newest trailer reveals more gameplay and interesting content headed the direction of gamers. Elite Squad was originally revealed during E3 2019, along with the fact that Sam Fisher himself from Splinter Cell will be a part of the game....

The upcoming Uncharted movie by Ruben Fleischer seems to be on track to break the video game movie curse - at least that’s what Tom Holland thinks. The Spider-Man actor has now revealed that his Nathan Drake role has put his skills to the test, claiming that the movie’s action scenes are his biggest to date. The anticipated live-action’s release was sadly given a devastating push back until February 11, 2022, despite wrapping filming back in October....

Five years after a disastrous wipeout, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater is back on its feet with a remake of the original 1999 game and its sequel. Vicarious Visions and Activision shared some of the upcoming game’s visuals Tuesday, showing off beautifully recreated versions of the school and warehouse maps that longtime fans know by heart. Pro Skater 1 + 2 is set to launch on current-gen platforms and PC in September....

In the world of Transformers, it’s always been a fact that there’s more than meets the eye. That’s especially true for Transformers: EarthSpark, which has given longtime fans and new viewers fresh takes on the classic Autobots and Decepticons. The strategy has clearly paid off, as it’s just been announced that the series has been renewed for a second season of episodes! To coincide with that announcement, we’ve got an exclusive trailer for the next batch of season one episodes which promise even more new takes on old Transformers favorites....

Trials of the Blood Dragon serves both properties well in its design and story, but the gameplay is overall inconsistent as the title tries to expand beyond basic Trials. Trials of the Blood Dragon sounds like a mashup made in heaven. The goofy, psychics-based world of Trials combined with the reverent ‘80s throwback that is Far Cry: Blood Dragon is not the most obvious pairing, but it does make sense. However, a concept can only get a game so far, and for Trials of the Blood Dragon it is the execution that weighs the final product down....

Many Twitch streamers were hit out of the blue this past week with a high amount of DMCA takedowns. Twitch, which accidentally leaked the new PS5 event date this morning, has been around since 2011 and has gained a massive following in that time. The website primarily focuses on live streams of video games, music, esports, and “in real life” content. Many Twitch streamers incorporate background music for gags or entertainment while playing, however, this now causing issues....

On Wednesday, June 12, 16 year old Johnny Peluyera went with his father to Gary, Indiana to sell his Xbox One to buyers that they met through an online sales app. The two buyers lured Peluyera and his father into an abandoned house that they pretended was their own, under the guise of proving that the Xbox One worked before they bought it. One of the buyers pulled a gun, at which point Peluyera and his father ran from the house....

Assassin’s Creed Valhalla received its first-ever event this week in the form of the Yule Festival, running until January 7. The seasonal event adds new weather patterns, new activities, and a bunch of exclusive loot. Valhalla’s Yule Festival was teased during the game’s last update, but you can now officially join in on the holiday fun. “The Settlement is expanding, and the revelers have arrived to host numerous festivals throughout the year....
