When Forza Motorsport 4 released last fall to a cheery reception (read our review), it burnt the rubber off of a two year wait from it’s predecessor, Forza Motorsport 3. Doubtless, the bi-annual development cycle gave Turn 10 Studios the proper amount of time to tune up the game engine and gave fans of Microsoft’s best-selling racing series time to enjoy the heap of vehicular content present on the disc....
Twitch now has a category for real sports leagues and is relaunching the TwitchSports channel. Real-life sports has kinda taken a second seat to video gaming for the first time ever thanks to coronavirus. And it’s now looking like major sports leagues are finally seeing the writing on the wall when it comes to in-person sporting events. They’re looking to get into streaming quickly, and Twitch is all too happy to be their platform....
For a brief moment in the spring of 2014, Twitch Plays Pokémon took gamers by storm. It was a phenomenon that, admittedly, did not last long, but captivated an audience of over 75,000 for a solid week or more. Watching a Twitch chat try to play Pokémon was not just hilarious, it was oddly compelling. Over time the creators of Twitch Plays Pokémon introduced new anarchy safeguards into their system, but during those early days it was a free for all....
UFC 4 has had a brand-new patch (Patch 2.03) to help fix some gameplay issues and major bugs. While not as noticeable as the patch that removed the real, in-game ads from UFC 4, it should make the game a little easier to play, as well as fix one major problem players have been having. Several players have been getting a major bug when they launch UFC 4 that was commonly referred to as the “Purple Screen” bug....

Every single fighting game hitting the market nowadays seems to either be strictly focused on gaming-related crossovers, or at the very least includes a special guest character. Dead or Alive 5 will apparently not be changing this recent fight game philosophy either, as it has now been confirmed that a special guest character will be joining the rest of the DoA cast. It’s been revealed that Virtua Fighter’s Akira Yuki will be getting in on the fray....
Warhammer Age of Sigmar features four parent factions from which you can choose to build an army. Today we are going to take a look at one of these factions, Grand Alliance Order. As the name may suggest, this alliance is made up of those who are united against the enemies of order – the forces of chaos. Outside of this alliance, however, there is an uneasy truce amongst them and it is not unheard of for the fragile peace to be broken, often pitting friend against friend....
This article contains Warrior spoilers. Although the Bruce Lee-inspired Cinemax series Warrior is fiction, it is loosely based on historical events of San Francisco in the 1870s. Just as Nellie Davenport (Miranda Raison) is based upon on a remarkable San Franciscan heroine, Donaldina Cameron, the Season 2 Finale drops a bomb for one of the show’s central characters. At the end of the episode when Dylan Leary (Dean Jagger) declares “I’m Dylan Leary and I’m here on behalf of the Workingmen’s Party of California,” it’s a major tell....
The Wasteland series has had a rough and rocky run since the first game released in 1988. The series has changed hands a few times, and changes were made between each of the titles before the third game released in 2020. This RPG series may not be as famous as others, but it broke a lot of the ground and set the standard for many of those games. For those interested in the third game and wondering if they should bother with the first two titles, here are some things to consider....
Lots of games have emotional stories that make players cry by the time act three is wrapping up, but the list of games that make us shed a few tears before the opening credits is a lot shorter. Most recently, Ori and the Blind Forest joined that short list, but the game that usually comes to mind first is Naughty Dog’s The Last of Us. The game’s cinematic/playable opening is so well-constructed that even people way outside the target demographic end up getting lost in the game’s opening tragedy....

There may be nothing more pleasing than watching a room full of scientists erupt in glee as the probe they spent hurtling into space years prior finally touches down on a moving object in the farthest reaches of space. The information and material that the probe will send back can hopefully answer questions of the universe we’ve been trying to ask since the beginning of our existence. Since before humans even walked the earth, however, the dark blanket of the sky has been depositing meteors to our world that hold important answers of the unknown....
This Westworld review contains spoilers. Westworld Season 4 Episode 7 After watching “Metanoia,” I sat down in the living room with my wife and attempted to explain to her just why Westworld is so much fun for me, and specifically why Ed Harris is such a joy to watch. I spoke about his obvious acting prowess; you don’t get nominated or win as many awards as he has without having chops....
It didn’t take long for the arrival of the first post-Peele horror smash. The influence of the American director looms large over The Perfection, with Richard Shepard’s brutal puzzler arriving with a murderous glint in its eye and a bloody knife clamped in its fist. When former cello prodigy Charlotte’s (Allison Williams) mother dies after a long illness, she heads to Shanghai to meet Anton (Steven Weber), the head of her alma mater, the Bachoff Academy of Music....

So why not set this year apart from the others in a fun way for once? Thanks to a lovely group of friendly number nerds, fans of cinematic terror now have a list of the top 10 most heart-racing horror films, and they have the science to prove it....
Five years since the last almost-release of a Silent Hill title, and little, if any, interest has been shown by Konami in venturing back to that dark and unsettling resort town. Though there are a host of rumors about the state of the franchise, like one pointing to a soft reboot for the PS5 and another stipulating yet another remake, the future of the horror franchise remains in a fog as thick as the one blanketing the town of Silent Hill itself....
The Sims franchise is most likely a guilty pleasure for most players. Players can find fun in building massive homes or raising a large family from birth to death. Fans of the series know there are many types of Sims that are playable, such as witches or robots. Players are able to make a family of aliens or a family mixed with the different occult in the game. The occult in the series can either give Sims magical powers or change the times when the Sim can be awake....
Announced during last December’s Game Awards showcase, developer Striking Distance Studios is currently working on a new sci-fi horror game titled The Callisto Protocol, with the project boasting Dead Space producer Glenn Schofield in the director’s chair. It seems the game will have more than just Schofield’s expertise, however, with it being announced today that The Walking Dead creator Robert Kirkman and his studio Skybound Entertainment will be collaborating on the project....
Disney+ first arrived in the UK in March 2020, at roughly the same time that the nation went into pandemic lockdown and home schooling began on a mass scale. For parents attempting to work from home and occupy their suddenly rudderless kids at the same time, that made it a godsend – a reasonably priced babysitter filled with enough animated films, Hannah Montana episodes and Marvel goodness to entertain little ones....
The Witcher series is easily one of the greatest dark fantasy series of all time, and it’s easy to see why this is the case. CD Projekt Red managed to create a trilogy that got better with each successive entry, reaching an immense high in the third game that is widely considered to be one of the greatest role-playing experiences ever crafted in gaming. The story of Geralt as he scours the Continent in search of Ciri is truly engrossing in every sense of the word....
