While there has been no announcement for more playable content for The Outer Worlds on Switch, the game’s production director Eric DeMilt would be happy to see it happen, he stated in an interview. He believes that the handheld is “a great piece of hardware” and hopes that fans share this sentiment. The game’s port, courtesy of Virtuos, was initially supposed to launch in March, but those plans were delayed to June 5th because of the coronavirus pandemic....

The Pink Panther is gearing up to strike again. No, not the classic Peter Sellers films. No, not the Steve Martin ones either. This is no time for that sort of subtlety. It’s 2020. Chaos is the name of the game. So naturally, the actual Pink Panther cartoon character will star in his own live-action/CGI movie in the style of Sonic the Hedgehog, because anything less would just feel lazy at this point....

In Training Day, Denzel Washington’s undercover detective Alonzo Harris is playing the long game, and edging both sides against the middle. “This shit’s chess, it ain’t checkers,” he explains to Jake Hoyt (Ethan Hawke), the rookie cop being led down the road to perdition. As another Denzel copper learned in the 1998 Satanic thriller Fallen, the devil often appears in the least likely of guises. For Training Day, Washington plays against type to lay out the temptations of easy money and real, street legal power....

This article contains spoilers for The Staircase documentary and therefore probably the HBO series as well. Before we begin, let’s be clear. There are only two people who know the real truth behind the events that are depicted in The Staircase. One of them is dead. And the other is Michael Peterson. So this article is not going to be able to answer the question of whether Michael Peterson killed his wife Kathleen, and nor indeed is the series....

Friday the 13th’s Jason Voorhees has been part of pop-culture for decades. It shouldn’t be surprising that he’s had his share of comic book adventures, what with him essentially being a supervillain in a story with no superheroes. Granted, he’s a one-dimensional supervillain with an incredibly vague origin story, but he’s been memorable enough to land him a dozen movie appearances. Many have told his tale in comic form and since the early ’90s, he’s been represented by three different publishers....

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is honored with the Game of the Year award at the Game Developers Choice Awards, an event held as part of the 2016 Game Developers Conference. Last night saw industry insiders gather in San Francisco, as the 16th annual Game Developers Choice Awards got underway as part of this year’s Game Developers Conference. Despite strong competition from a crop of popular titles, CD Projekt RED’s widely acclaimed RPG The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt came out on top, being named Game of the Year....

UK retailer Game has told customers who have preordered a PS5 to stand by as Sony will be making a big announcement this week. Sony and Microsoft have been slowly revealing details about their respective next-gen consoles throughout 2020. However, both companies have been reluctant to reveal one of the most important details of all, the price. That all changed today as Xbox not only confirmed it will be releasing a smaller version of the Series X - the Series S - but also confirmed the less powerful version of its next-gen offering will cost $299....

Storks, obviously. Rabbits. Cartoon characters with smiling buttons for faces. A puzzling preponderance of elephants. Tiny wooden pegs pegging tiny cardboard socks to glittery string washing lines. Little prams. Little shoes. Little things. This is how, in greeting card form, we mark the advent of new life. Sugary pictures of objects-in-miniature. With new-borns, small doesn’t always equal adorable. In BBC Four comedy drama There She Goes, Emily (Jessica Hynes), an academic scientist, learns that her second pregnancy isn’t progressing at the usual rate....

Cars may not currently be at the forefront of the video game zeigeist, but sitting behind a virtual wheel is nearly as old of an activity as gaming itself starting with the release of Gran Trak 10 in arcades by Atari in 1974, only two years after Pong. Now that nearly 46 years of cars in games have are behind us, carwow, a British car sales website, has released a list of specific cars’ frequency of appearance throughout video game history....

Last week, the Epic Games Store added two new entries to its weekly lineup of free titles, featuring Bethesda’s Rage 2 and Funselektor Labs’ Absolute Drift: Zen Edition. Both games were huge gets for players, but now, the games have left to make way for the newest addition to the marketplace’s promotion. Sunless Sea is officially free to grab on the Epic Game Store and will be available to claim from now until March 4....

Overwatch is one of the most highly critically acclaimed games of the past few years, receiving numerous awards and rave reviews for how it perfected the hero multiplayer shooter. Since its release in 2016, Overwatch’s player base has increased while its incredibly diverse cast of characters has seen four new heroes join the battlefield (Ana, Sombra, Orisa, and Doomfist). If you are a fan of Overwatch and want to play other games but are not sure what to play, here are some suggestions for you....

The reveal of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 5 was music to the ears of many of the series’ fans — but everything since its unveiling has been rather underwhelming. Now, a last-minute shift in art style has added yet another layer of doubt onto a game that should have marked a welcome return for a beloved franchise. The latest round of screenshots released by developer Robomodo feature a novel response to the criticism levelled at earlier images from the game: cel shading....

Transformers: EarthSpark, the all-new 26 episode Paramount+ original animated series, announced its cast of voice actors during an exclusive panel at Comic-Con International: San Diego 2022.

Like many of you, I’ve been following the Pokémon series right from the outset. I have super fond memories of my first couple of years at high school, where everyone ever was totally swept up in the Pokémania craze. It was a damn crazy time, punctuated by horror stories about kids being attacked for their Charizard card. As such, I’ve played through every generation of the games, but you never forget your first....

Season 2 of The Umbrella Academy has come and gone seemingly in a flash, but it still left a wealth of new discussion topics in its wake. Among those is a curious relationship between two characters which some fans see as incestuous. While the “family” in the show shares no blood relation, there still may be something to these concerns. In The Umbrella Academy, the characters Luther (Tom Hopper) and Allison (Emmy Raver-Lampman) share a close relationship which the show seems to imply is romantic, at least potentially....

Valheim is a game all about survival in a hostile new home. And a big part of surviving in this co-op Viking-inspired purgatory world of Valheim is to build bigger and better crafting stations, tools, weapons, and armor. One of the many materials needed for this is a Surtling Core. Recipes with Surtling Cores Surtling cores are a basic building block needed to create several of the workstations that players will need to thrive....

2020 is coming to an end, and perhaps many are better off because of it. However, as with the end of every year, it’s worth looking back and seeing what went right (even if, this year, a lot went wrong). PS Plus is one of those instances where subscribers have reached their end for this year. PS Plus’ offerings for December 2020 end the year on a high note, and it seems likely that this will only continued with the subscription into 2021....

Near parallel to the time Apple CEO Tim Cook was discretely shuffling through the halls of Valve Software’s Washington offices (for reasons still shrouded in mystery), word began creeping out about yet another Valve research project - one that, as we’re now discovering, has the potential to cement the influential creators of Half-Life and Steam as major power players in the technology and computing industry. It started with early reports on Friday affirming the widely-popular notion that Valve was ready to stake its claim in the hardware business....

Certainly one of the most popular online services for PC gamers is Valve’s Steam. Allowing gamers a great deal of functionality when it comes to accessing and playing games online, Steam is only getting bigger and better. Valve managing director, Gabe Newell (cleverly not talking about Half-Life 3), would like to see the service be implemented on Xbox LIVE, if Microsoft releases its tight leash, that is. Microsoft has their own guidelines and regulations when it comes to supporting games on the service....

[Note: Game Rant was provided the Vizio M50-E1 for the purposes of this review] As 4K gaming becomes more and more prevalent on console and PC, gamers will soon start to feel the pull towards a TV or monitor upgrade. Like 1080p before it, 4K video is leading the charge through gaming and options to support the resolution are regularly growing. Over the past month, Game Rant has been testing the Vizio M50-E1 UHD 4K display to see how it ranks among 4K sets and specifically for 4K gaming....
