This Utopia review contains spoilers. Of the many riddles we’ve been set by Utopia’s Sphinx-like second series, one is yet to be asked: what’s Lee’s story? Episode three belonged to Paul Ready’s hit man in the acid yellow suit, but unlike Arby and Jessica, we still don’t know the first thing about his origins. Some mysteries, we suppose, need to be saved for a potential third series – if, that is, Lee survives for that long on Arby’s shit list....
Yesterday’s release of Half-Life: Alyx has ushered in a new era for Valve. Not content to simply let its massively popular Steam marketplace sell other games, the company is making a grand return to the type of experiences that made it a household name. Half-Life fans have waited more than a decade for this moment, but there’s still a burning question among the diehards: What happened to Half-Life 2: Episode Three?...
An interview with South Park series creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker hints that games like South Park: The Fractured But Whole could be the future of the franchise. After a rather inauspicious start in the video game industry with the South Park first-person shooter released in 1998, Matt Stone and Trey Parker have managed to carve out a niche for their foul-mouthed cartoon children in an unexpected genre. South Park the television series has stayed relevant because of how malleable it can be, but few fans could have predicted that the best home for a South Park game would be in the form of an RPG as South Park: The Stick of Truth....
Warhammer: Vermintide 2 is currently free to play, and will continue to be until this Sunday, 25 April at 22:00 CEST. The first-person hack-and-slash action game from developer Fatshark was released in 2018, and has clearly been a hit amongst Warhammer fans with overall very positive player reviews on Steam and a solid 82% according to Metacritic. Its most recent free expansion - Chaos Wastes - has also proven a hit, bringing in the highest number of players into the game since its launch three years ago....
We’ve had the press preview of Warhammer 40,000’s launch box Indomitus here at the TG bunker for a couple of weeks now and, while we have covered the release, we haven’t gone too deep into actual analysis of the pieces. Until now! Since the box first hit the mat we have been feverishly playing away at the new 9th Edition and now feel ready to give our first impressions. For those of you who haven’t yet come across Warhammer 40,000, a little back story....
Warzone players are getting themselves stuck in the back of a truck and they can’t figure out how to escape. Let’s face it, the collision in Warzone can be pretty frustrating. Whether you’re getting gunned down while trying to mantle up a ledge that just can’t be climbed or choking on gas while helplessly stuck in a tree, Warzone is the reigning champ of faulty geo. The newest glitch is a cargo truck that plays can get in, but they can’t get out....
When Watch Dogs first released, it was largely taken as a surface-level disappointment. Due in no small part to the radical promises that Ubisoft made of what next-gen could do, the game never fully delivered on its promise. However, under the surface, there is quite a bit to appreciate about the final product; from the John Wick-style gunplay, to the mini-games hidden deep in the menus as “Digital Trips.” Among these Digital Trips, one titled Alone might be among the best experiences that Watch Dogs as a series has produced, even compared to the sequels’ innovations....
Tom Cruise has performed many death-defying stunts for his role as IMF agent Ethan Hunt in the Mission: Impossible film series. Now, director Christopher McQuarrie has taken to his official Instagram account to share a behind-the-scenes image of Cruise filming an action scene set on top of a speeding train for the seventh installment of the franchise. Production on Mission: Impossible 7 was scheduled to begin in Venice on February 20, 2020, before moving to Rome....
Last year, rumors started to swirl about a potential The Legend of Dragoon remake coming from Bluepoint Games. The developer with a knack for excellent remakes had previously remade Shadow of the Colossus to great critical success by rebuilding the game from the ground up. Many assumed that its next big project would be a remake of the oft-forgotten JRPG, but nothing has been confirmed about what its PS5 project is....
So you’ve heard of Power Rangers. Maybe remember watching it as a kid. But recently you’ve noticed, “hey, wait a minute. This show is still on… How???” Well after over 900 episodes Power Rangers has attracted a huge fanbase. Across the 25 plus seasons there have been episodes that stood out from the rest. Episodes that sparked the imagination and turned viewers from casual watchers into hardcore fans. Of course you might be a little busy to watch over 900 episodes to find those gems, so here’s a sampling to get you started....
The Rock has shared the first page of the Black Adam script with his fans and revealed filming begins in a few weeks. The DC Universe is a hotter topic of conversation right now than it has been for a while thanks to the arrival of Zack Snyder’s Justice League. The Rock is looking to ride that wave of momentum by reminding superhero fans he will become a part of the DCEU very soon....
It was while I was researching The Book of Horror, an illustrated guide to the scariest movies ever made, that I first started seeing things. Not the full Haley Joel Osment, you understand, but what we’ll call a seventh sense. I’d catch glimpses of something out of the corner of my eye, and my mind would fill in the blanks with spooky imagery because I was consuming so much of it....
Everybody already knows that The Simpsons have had an uncanny track record of predicting future events with pinpoint precision. From killer bees to the discovery of the Higgs boson equation to predicting a Nobel Peace Prize winner, and even its eerily accurate predictions related to politics, The Simpsons have been on a roll for 32 seasons depicting future real-life events in hilarious ways. It seems no end is in sight, either, as our favorite animated family seems to have accurately predicted another iconic figure, at least in terms of the video gaming zeitgeist: Lady Dimitrescu....
Though the Expansion and Game Packs that have been released to date for the fourth installment in the Sims series have been a bit hit or miss, the last few packs have been utterly fantastic. The last few packs brought so many new features to the game that completely changed the gameplay that is fully changed the stance many Simmers had on the Sims 4 entirely. What went from a lackluster sequel to the Sims 3 has recently become one of the most beloved installments in the series altogether....
The first actual trailer for James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad is here, and it’s drastically different from its cinematic predecessor. Stylistically, it has plenty of Gunn’s hallmarks, drawing on some of the most obscure, quirky characters in the DC Universe, it’s plenty violent, it’s got a cool tune (the best Steely Dan song, “Dirty Work”) and it’s certainly less shy about things like profanity than the director was allowed on his Guardians of the Galaxy movies for Marvel Studios....
The GameStop saga continues to unfold, and things are really heating up now that the US government is keeping tabs on transactions. White House press secretary Jen Psaki confirmed as much during her daily briefing, revealing that the US Secretary of the Treasury is watching events closely as they unfold. Psaki didn’t discuss whether the government would carry out any actions that would restrict or limit trading, although it’s clear the White House has a vested interest in the stock market’s performance....
Jeffrey Dean Morgan’s Negan has been a consequential figure on AMC’s The Walking Dead ever since his highly-anticipated debut in 2016’s Season 6 finale; an introduction that cemented him as the definitive big bad of the show before turning a brutal-but-iconic moment from Robert Kirkman’s comic book series source material into a cliffhanger stunt that proved controversial in all the wrong ways. However, while the character has since experienced a compelling villain-to-antihero arc similar to the comic, the latest trailer for Season 10’s bonus episodes teases a slight divergence to one of the earliest segments in said arc: Negan’s late wife, Lucille....
Berserkers are a type of monster that appears on Skellige in The Witcher 3. Berserkers are werebears, and they are essentially men that are able to take the form of a bear via a very unfortunate curse that they encounter in their lives, usually by angering a mage of some sort. Berserkers are one of the strongest types of monsters in The Witcher universe, but they are also very rare and mostly only spotted on Skellige....

Konami might be shooting down the hopes of dreams of Silent Hill fans by saying there is no sequel coming any time soon, but that’s alright, because Animal Crossing: New Horizons has us covered. Twitter user @hmnprsn (Human Person, or so they want us to believe), has unveiled and made public their design code for the Halo Of The Sun. The sign is iconic within the Silent Hill series, appearing in no less than seven titles as well as the comic book series....
