While horse racing may be the sport of kings, wrestling is undoubtedly the sport (entertainment) of champions. Whether you’re a newcomer to the lycra-clad ballet that is modern wrestling, or you’ve been watching since the golden age, you’ve probably played a WWE game along the way. WWE 2K18 may have its problems (it’s not Know Your Role or No Mercy), but in some ways, it’s exceptionally solid. Its advanced create-a-wrestler mode allows you to guide your own avatar, or freakish monstrosity, from no one to the title, while the varied match types mean you’ll never get bored....

The rumors were true. Arnie’s Fortnite legacy continues to grow as The Terminator and Sarah Connor have been added to the game. Predator finally arrived on Fortnite’s island this week, adding what is arguably the most adult character to the game so far. Players need to defeat the new NPC to unlock its skin, new challenges, and it also drops its cloaking tech which some people have labeled as being far too overpowered....

This spoiler-free review is based on the first two episodes. There’s a Woody the Woodpecker cartoon where Woody starts to fall from a height, then double takes, flaps his wings and soars into the sky saying, ‘Hey! I forgot I was a bird!’ Every so often, TV pulls the same trick. It goes along, airing detective shows and cooking shows and superhero shows and property programmes, falling, falling, falling… and then it suddenly remembers, ‘Hey!...

This article contains spoilers for The Walking Dead season 10 episode 18. Grief is all the rage on television right now. Though series like WandaVision and Snowpiercer went into production before the coronavirus pandemic gripped the globe, they arrived during a time in which we all had a lot of trauma to process. Over on The Walking Dead, however, grappling with such concepts has been the norm all along. The show’s first episode dealt with an apocalyptic event that wiped out the majority of the population and since then its characters have known the names of the dead better than the names of the living....

CD Projekt Red unveils the first images of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt’s second expansion Blood and Wine, showing off the brighter, more colorful setting of Toussaint. The images, which were revealed on CD Projekt Red’s Twitter page, show off a beautiful sprawling cityscape that looks distinctly different from the Novigrad that’s part of the main game. Instead of witches being burned at the stake and muggers in the streets, the city of Toussaint is more colorful and lively....

The tabletop Classic Risk is getting a Grimdark makeover with the release of a Warhammer 40,000 edition by The OP. Risk is a tabletop classic and a mainstay of many a bookshelf since it’s release way back in 1957 in France. Combat revolves around dice rolls that determine the outcome, with the winner defending or capturing territory. Players capture territories once all defending army tokens have been defeated. Risk has inspired many other games including the Axis & Allies series, Settlers of Catan, and even modern wargame titles....

Game glitches can be the bane of a gamer’s existence, causing interruptions in gameplay or reduced immersion thanks to graphic problems or other distracting issues.

Even though it’s one of the biggest streaming platforms on the internet, Twitch is rarely far from controversy. However, Twitch is only peripheral to some recent controversies. When a recent protest at the US Capitol Building turned violent, Ryan “Gootecks” Gutierrez commented on the affairs in a manner that Twitch did not stand for. For years, most Twitch users would have known Gootecks as the face behind the eternally popular PogChamp emote....

Return to Pallet Town in this faithful recreation done in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. There are few fictional locations more iconic than Pallet Town. Really less of a town and just a collection of three buildings surrounded by tall grass, Pallet Town is where that very first journey began to become a Pokémon master. Now, Pokémon is a multi-billion dollar empire spanning the entire globe. It’s also a Nintendo IP, so you probably won’t get sued for recreating it in Animal Crossing: New Horizons....

Ubisoft has a new problem related to Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege outside of the apparent rise in cheaters, as it’s been discovered that the game is at the center of a legal action that has been taken against two of the biggest tech companies around. Bloomberg reported this weekend that Ubisoft has sued both Apple and Google over Area F2, a mobile shooter released by Chinese mega-corporation Alibaba and its subsidiary Ejoy that players have compared to Siege a lot since its launch last month....

The debate surrounding loot boxes in games has grown substantially in recent weeks, with some players now arguing that loot boxes are another form of gambling. While American ratings board the ESRB disagrees that loot boxes are gambling, as do UK organizations PEGI and UKIE, gamers across the pond are continuing to battle for reclassification. Earlier this month, a Reddit user named artfunkel met with their local representative in the United Kingdom, Daniel Zeichner MP (Labour Party)....

Star Wars celebrated 40 years this past spring, making it one of the longest running movie franchises in history. The prequels were a rough patch for some fans while others loved them despite their flaws. Which is pretty much how most feel about Rogue One and Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Fans were thrilled to see the continuation of a story that has hooked most of us since early childhood. My first vivid memory is of watching Star Wars: A New Hope and being freaked out over Chewbacca, yet thrilled at the same time....

2021 continues to be a rollercoaster for movie lovers everywhere, with a once promising Spring 2021 going much the same way as 2020 with delays, release date shifts, and growing apprehension. Still, even if the first few months of 2021 will look much like the last 12, there are reasons to smile. For starters, a new Walt Disney Animation Studios project, Raya and the Last Dragon, is about to premiere on Disney+; Eddie Murphy is finally reprising the role of Prince Akeem in Coming 2 America; and there is the chance to at last watch something called… the Snyder Cut?...

Yet as good as the doc is, its impressionistic view of the actor’s life tends to leave some of his sardonic musings and general conviviality off the screen. Relying mostly on the vast reams of camcorder footage he saved over the course of his life, the movie observes as much as it enters Kilmer’s mind. Luckily, the prodigious artist also recently released a memoir about his various exploits, Val Kilmer: I’m Your Huckleberry....

Steam has been flooded with survival games since Minecraft’s meteoric rise in popularity, and so when one manages to break through the noise and make a name for itself, it’s worth paying attention. Valheim from Iron Gate Studio launched on Steam in early access back in February, translating Minecraft-style gameplay mechanics to a viking setting, and managing to sell over five million copies in the process. Valheim’s popularity has shown no signs of slowing down, and its success is well-deserved....
