Nearly 15 years after its original release, Virtua Fighter 5 is back in a new, updated form on PS4. Revealed a mere week before its release, Virtua Fighter 5 Ultimate Showdown sees the classic fighter perfected for the modern era, sporting all kinds of graphical enhancements and the tightest feel this particular installment has seen yet. All 19 characters return with their movesets intact, the balance has (seemingly) remained the same, and all of the previous levels make a comeback....

Walmart has unveiled a set of Black Friday ads for 2020. The multiple sales will take place across several weeks in November, leading up to the actual Black Friday. The Black Friday ads are part of Walmart’s “Deals for Days” sales, with the first kicking off on November 4.

Warframe received a much anticipated update last night, after it was announced during E3 that the update would arrive this week. The update is called “The Sacrifice,” and it includes a cinematic story quest of the same name, as well as the new Excalibur Umbra warframe. The Sacrifice is Warframe’s first cinematic story quest since The War Within released during the Update 19 cycle back in late 2016. Since then the game has seen some narrative quests like Chains of Harrow and its first open-world update in the Plains of Eidolon, but nothing so decidedly cinematic....

The Wash Yo Hands tournament featured some of the best esports teams playing League of Legends to raise money for a COVID-19 fund. The teams involved included Flyquest, Immortals Gaming Club, Dignitas, and Cloud9. The event was put on in conjunction with the Softgiving fundraising platform.

Compulsion Games’ debuts a new We Happy Few gameplay trailer at Microsoft’s E3 2016 presentation, and it’s a terrifying, surreal look at a dystopian, drug-fueled society. Microsoft’s E3 2016 presentation has had quite a few indie game surprises, and there are perhaps none quite so exciting as the debut of Compulsion Games’ We Happy Few gameplay trailer. One of the most anticipated horror games of 2016, We Happy Few is a game developed by a team of devs located in Montreal, Canada, a location that also houses studios with international pedigrees like Ubisoft....

This article is presented in paid partnership with Crunchyroll. New anime hits emerge every year, but staggering levels of love have surrounded Tatsuki Fujimoto’s Chainsaw Man. The anime’s inaugural season has already become one of Crunchyroll’s biggest 2022 additions. Audiences have been quick to commend the anime’s ultra-violent atmosphere as it chronicles Denji’s journey as the blade-wielding monster known as Chainsaw Man. However, beneath the grisly gore and heightened aesthetics, there’s a real heart and humanity to Chainsaw Man’s characters and their world....

Fans of 3D Sonic games will remember the first 3D title was the beloved Sonic Adventure. However, that was not SEGA’s first attempt at a 3D Sonic game. In fact, before Sonic Adventure, there was another 3D Sonic game in development. Sonic X-Treme, the embodiment of the 90s attitude. Why did Sonic X-Treme never see the light of day? Sonic Goes To Mars The year is 1994, Sonic & Knuckles just released on the SEGA Genesis....

In the early 1990s Mighty Morphin Power Rangers burst onto the scene and quickly became one of the hottest kids shows on the planet. Millions of toys were sold, ratings went through the roof, multiple copycats were created, and a big budget movie was put into production. Power Rangers’ place in pop culture was cemented and secured a long future for the franchise. However, as the years went on and Power Rangers continued on television its fame slowly evaporated....

The ninth console generation launched in November 2020 with the release of Sony’s PlayStation 5 and Microsoft’s Xbox Series X. These new consoles continued the trend of improved graphical output and better overall performance, along with some new games to show off what the new hardware is capable of. While no console launch is without its share of issues though, the PS5 and Xbox Series X did a lot for some fans to address the pain points of previous generations and make the transition a bit smoother....

This The Simpsons review contains spoilers. The Simpsons Season 31 Episode 4 The Simpsons, season 31, episode 4, “Treehouse of Horror XXX,” is the 666th episode of the series. This bodes well for their annual Halloween extravaganza. Not because it proves they sold their collective souls to a devilish cooperative to have lasted this long. But because it promises the most evil of offerings. Sadly, the episode gives us a very happy ending, which works as diabolical subversion....

The Sims Bustin Out was a veritably weird installation in The Sims franchise designed for the PS2, Xbox, GameCube, Game Boy Advance, and N-Gage. Unlike the PC titles of the series, The Sims Bustin Out did not feature a sandbox mode and was instead story-oriented with goals for the player to achieve along the way. Both the console and handheld versions of Bustin Out featured various locations to visit in-game that only became accessible as players advance their Sim through the game....

This article has been kept as spoiler-free as possible, but since it discusses differences between the Discworld books and The Watch TV show, there will be discussion of changes to characters and setting, and some vague allusions to plot. Let’s say one thing first and foremost: if you’ve never read any of Terry Pratchett’s Discworld books, and you like quirky, funny SFF television, you’ll probably enjoy BBC America’s new show The Watch....

The Witcher 3 is home to plenty of incredible questlines, which is probably the strong suit of the game. That’s not to say that most of the other mechanics in the game are unsatisfying or anything like that, it’s just that there are only so many games in recent memory that makes the player care about retrieving a frying pan for an old lady in the wilderness. One of the most interesting quests in the game, “The Ladies Of The Woods” follows Geralt through Crookback Bog, while he’s looking for any clues to Ciri’s whereabouts in addition to trying to track down The Bloody Baron’s wife....

When CD Projekt Red released The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt back in 2015 the game’s main questline was met with critical acclaim, but it wasn’t all that made the RPG special. Master of the Arena is a side-quest on the Skellige island of Spikeroog, and one of the most creative missions across the game’s huge open world. The Witcher 3’s Master of the Arena quest shows the range CD Projekt Red was able to pull off in its quests, and gives hints at the sort of mission diversity which fans can expect in the studio’s upcoming games....

In what has been a less than usual year for everyone, The Witcher’s production team is probably starting to come to terms how the rest of their filming schedule will pan out. So far The Witcher has suffered not one, but two production halts related to COVID-19 and it looks like they’re handling quite well. Last week’s delay was down to four crew members testing positive for the coronavirus which prompted swift prevention protocols to be put in place to avoid further spread....

As a child of the 90s, I have seen some of the best basketball players to ever grace the hardwood. By the time I was really into the sport, Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen were driving the Chicago Bulls to two sets of three-peats against legendary opponents like Patrick Ewing, Karl Malone, Charles Barkley, Clyde Drexler, and the list could go on and on. Then I saw the budding careers of the next generation of legends such as Kobe Bryant, Tim Duncan, Dirk Nowitzki, and Lebron James in their entirety....

For those of us who are swimming in Pokemon card bulk, fighting for space to store our folder collection, and spending way too much money on every available expansion - this post is for you. Thanks to the creative mind of one Redditor, we now know what a fellow Pokemon card collector would have looked like in the Renaissance era. The 15th and 16th centuries were, of course, bereft of such extravagance relating to shiny bits of card worth thousands, as wealthy individuals of that time would have probably invested their funds in items of a more artistic and cultural nature....

Threezero unveils two brand new Fallout 4 T-60 Power Armor figures which are available with a flame design, a nuke launcher, and an assault rifle with detachable mods. Bethesda’s massively popular RPG, Fallout 4, is loved for its real-life merchandise as much as it is loved for its gameplay. Fans of the post-apocalyptic title have had plenty of ways to show off their love for the game, including the bottles of Nuka Cola Quantum and the replicas of the Pip-Boy....
