So here we are in the brave new world of 2018. We’re already knee-deep in what may remain some of this year’s greatest releases. Whether you’re farming for those elusive decoration drops in Monster Hunter World, or trying to get pure platinums from start to finish in Bayonetta on Switch, it’s shaping up to be a great year for gaming. Still, though, we can’t just get tied up in fresh new releases....
Earlier this year, Chris Evans made news for refuting reports that he might reprise his role as Captain America/Steve Rogers in future MCU films. Now, the actor has shared a funny video of his friends mocking him on the set of Captain America: The First Avenger. Evans’ contract with Marvel Studios ended following Avengers: Endgame. At the end of Avengers: Endgame Steve Rogers used the Infinity Stones to travel back to the 1940s so that he could be with Peggy Carter (Hayley Atwell)....
Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor publisher, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment has finally managed to patent the game’s Nemesis System after repeated efforts to do so since 2015. The Nemesis System, which also featured in the game’s sequel, Shadow of War, was a unique feature whereby certain enemies (in this case, orcs) would remember the player’s actions and even recall them when encountering the player the next time. This would include remembering player tactics, and even climbing Mordor’s hierarchy if you manage to turn them into your minion....
The reveal of Pokemon Snap made it feel as if the game was still a long way off, but there’s evidence to suggest it could be released before the end of the year. A Pokemon Presents earlier this year revealed a lot of information about the franchise’s future that made its fans very happy. The addition of mega evolution to Pokemon Go, a League of Legends style take on the franchise called Pokemon Unite, but best of all, a sequel to the Nintendo 64’s Pokemon Snap....

Anyone who has ever walked into a collectible card shop knows how exciting it is to get a close look at a highly graded super rare foil or early printing of a valuable card. NFL linebacker Cassius Marsh has always loved card games like Pokemon, Yu-Gi-Oh, and Magic: The Gathering and he has acquired an amazing collection of foils, rares, and limited edition cards. The Pittsburgh Steeler is now sharing his enthusiasm for the hobby by opening his own card shop, Cash Cards Unlimited....
If you’ve been wandering around Shogun Studios in Paper Mario: The Origami King, you may have come across an area called the House of Riddles. Despite the name, the House of Riddles actually contains more of a traditional puzzle than a riddle. Whatever you want to call it, solving this riddle can be more than a little confusing and difficult if you don’t know what to do. If you’ve been stuck on solving it, or don’t even know how to get inside the House of Riddles yet, we’ve got all the answers you need right here....
The Pokémon Center’s unbelievably popular Halloween Collection has been updated for 2020 and TheGamer got to take a look at a variety of different products in the set. From plushies to costume-hats to statues and apparel, there’s so much to choose from and so many ways to celebrate the fall season. Of all the seasonal themes, the Halloween Collection is consistently the most popular thanks in large part to costumed plushies....
I’m a giant chicken, but for whatever reason, I’m still way too into old-school horror games. I’m talking late ’90s, early ’00s games with clunky controls and aesthetics that couldn’t lean as heavily into gory realism. Perhaps it’s the nostalgia goggles talking, but I was far more invested in the mechanics of that era that felt experimental for the time. Since then, we’ve iterated and iterated on the survival horror genre....
This Lord of the Rings article contains spoilers for The Rings of Power. One of the more peculiar things about The Rings of Power so far has been the total lack of any actual rings on the show. We’ve also heard a lot about our principal bad guy and the show has seemed desperate to convince us that he might be any one of several characters, but we think we might finally, in episode 5, have been introduced to Sauron in the form of a mysterious new character credited only as “The Dweller” (Bridie Sisson), who is seen peering over the edge of the crater where the Stranger landed back in episode 1....
Feeling hungry? Go boot up the Nintendo Wii and order some pizza for delivery. If this sounds odd, that’s because it was only possible to do so in Japan using an obscure app called the Delivery Channel. Well ahead of its time in 2009 and looking exactly as one would expect from the traditional Wii interface, the app allowed users to select from a broad selection of nearby restaurants. Using their Wii remotes, a player could then take an order, receive a confirmation message directly to the console with an estimated delivery time, and soon the food would arrive at their doorstep....
Last month, Mock The Week was cancelled after 17 years on air. The satirical comedy was only one of a flurry of modern panel shows featuring teams of comedians, spawning from the format used in Have I Got News For You that emerged during the nineties and noughties. Taking cues from long-running HIGNFY which hit TV screens in 1990, popular series such as Never Mind the Buzzcocks and the anarchic, absurd Shooting Stars were followed by the likes of QI, 8 Out Of 10 Cats, Would I Lie To You?...
A brand new trailer for the episodic interactive adventure game The Walking Dead: The Telltale Series – A New Frontier debuts at The Game Awards 2016. Following the reveal of The Walking Dead: The Telltale Series – A New Frontier’s release date about a week ago, the developers for the game put together a new trailer for the third season of the interactive adventure game to be shown at The Game Awards 2016....
This The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf review contains no spoilers. The animated fantasy world of The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf feels trapped in an 83-minute film. No doubt it is lovely to look at as a Netflix Original Anime—a stricter definition of “anime” is stretching it, being applied to the work of a South Korea-based animation company. For as much as Studio Mir’s smatterings of color and movement will please the eye as it did with Legend of Korra and Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts, the mission of the story is lost in a haze....
There are plenty of swords that Geralt can use to dispatch his enemies in The Witcher 3. Some are excellent at their job, while others leave players wanting more. However, there are some swords that are truly the stuff of legends, such as Aerondight. Aerondight makes an appearance in all three Witcher games. In Witcher 3, Aerondight can be found in the Blood and Wine DLC and is the single most powerful sword in the game....
Unquestionably, the development team over at CD Projekt Red are gunning for game of the year status with The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. Since releasing the ending of Geralt’s story back in May, the Poland-based studio has continually fed fans of the title fresh content with their consistent updates that included 16 packs of DLC for free. The action-RPG’s creators don’t seem to be slowing down any time soon as another add-on is right around the corner....
DLC can be a bit of a dirty word in the games industry. While fans are definitely pleased that they have the option to get extra content from games post-launch, there is a belief among some that certain studios hold back content to sell at a later date. Whether or not that is the case, paid DLC has become something of a necessity for many AAA titles. Studios like Capcom have recently begun to experiment with DLC systems, but others, like CD Projekt Red, have been as straightforward as it gets....
As The X-Files event series comes out on DVD and Blu-Ray in the UK, we chatted to creator Chris Carter about the response to the revived series, doing more episodes and looking back on his lengthy time on the show… Were you pleased with the way the revival series turned out? Yes, I’m very happy with the work, I’m proud of the work, and with the response to it, we had terrific ratings here in the US....

The previous record was set by Marshmello’s live Fortnite performance which was watched by 10.7 million players. The best news for Fortnite?...
