Just a few glimpses of the video exposes it for what it really is: a montage of those wonderful Overwatch cinematic trailers that Blizzard creates to promote its game....

The Simpsons executive producer Matt Selman is in the egg-hiding mood for the Easter holiday. A couple weeks ago, bemused Simpsons fans adopted Pontius Comic Book Guy roles, virtually crucifying the show’s continuity minders for messing with the timeline of the 32-year-old series. “You may have noticed the minor Simpsons fan uproar about the show’s playful ‘elastic continuity’ as recently featured in ‘Do Pizzabots Dream of Electric Guitars,’” Selman wrote to Den of Geek in a direct message....

This The Simpsons review contains spoilers. The Simpsons Season 33 Episode 2 It seems like the family on Evergreen Terrace has finally joined the rest of Springfield, to the woe of viewers.

Despite being released more than five years ago now, The Witcher 3 remains incredibly popular. It continues to average more than 25,000 daily players on Steam and, thanks to the hugely popular Netflix adaptation, has seen a big increase in new players over the last year. This longevity is aided by the sheer volume of content that’s crammed into the game and its two sizeable expansion packs. Unfortunately, however, there will come a point when players have experienced all that the game has to offer and must find their own ways to keep things feeling fresh....

Nier Replicant’s upgraded version just made its global debut last week, and promotions around the latest from Yoko Taro and Square Enix have kicked off in some interesting ways.

Tom Felton was cast as the character and to the insanely huge fan base, it seemed to be a home run by the casting department....

Much of the hype surrounding Titans, the first live action show on the superhero focused DC Universe streaming service, has surrounded Brenton Thwaites and his modern interpretation of Dick Grayson. Five episodes into its run, the series has been a slow motion origin sequence for the Titans team, but also very much a Batman show in spirit, telling not an origin story for Dick Grayson, but perhaps the first live action “second act origin story” in superhero history, as the former sidekick tries to come to terms with his past and figure out his future....
