Videogame movies have tried ignoring their source material, and they’ve tried legitimising their source material via being as dour as possible, but it’s rare that they’ve just embraced the inherent absurdity of videogames. Enter: the Dynasty Warriors movie, which looks joyfully like the Dynasty Warriors games. If you’re not familiar with Dynasty Warriors, it’s a

Following the failure of Amazon’s Crucible and ahead of the launch of New World, it is confirmed that the company’s Lord of the Rings MMO has officially been canceled. The online fantasy take was first announced back in 2019, and news about the latest Lord of the Rings take was mum. Now, it’s off the table

Fortnite fans rejoiced when Epic not only announced that Aloy of Horizon Zero Dawn fame would be joining the game, but would also team up with Tomb Raider’s Lara Croft in a special mode.

Earlier today, the business press reported rumours that several parties were interested in buying Square Enix. Well, people wanting to buy isn’t the same as the company looking to sell.

Nintendo’s Indie World showcase may have only ran for 20 minutes, but the House of Mario packed it a ton of announcements within that time.

When a baby is about six months old they’re often able to sit up on their own, are eating solid food, and might even have their first tooth coming in.

YouTubers Life first made its debut back in 2016 and was met with positive feedback for its in-depth simulation of what it is like to be a content creator.

While everyone’s still thirsting over Resident Evil Village’s Lady Dimitrescu and Assassin’s Creed Valhalla’s Olympians, Valve have introduced a giant lady of their own as Dota 2‘s new hero. Dawnbreaker is her name, and clonking enemies with a huge hammer is her game. Personally being too tall to love, I welcome this golden age of

The perfect cosplay doesn’t exis… Last year, the Internet fell hard for the most epic friendship ever: Animal Crossing’s Isabelle and Doom’s Doomguy. The duo is surprisingly wholesome, so much so that even id Software itself lent itself to the joke. Now, one cosplayer is bringing the pair front and center once more, though this

Most cooking games have you following a specific recipe and being judged on your accuracy. Soup Pot aims for something else. Announced during the recent ID@Xbox stream, it’s a cooking game in which you can follow the recipe, sure, or you can mess around and experiment. Also, the Steam page notes that “items shout their

Today’s Hasbro Pulse Fan Fest began with the announcement of a new Fortnite action figures line, and concluded with a handful of reveals for Star Wars’ Vintage Collection and Black Series lines.

You could see it as you parachuted in: a cloud that crackled with electricity, and a dark tanker headed straight for the shores of Verdansk. On board, a horde of the undead clamoured to escape. Call Of Duty: Warzone Season 6 approached and it promised a zombie invasion; one which I’d been pretty excited about.

Outriders is a fun game that had a pretty bad launch thanks to server issues that prevented many players from matchmaking or logging on (among other issues). Developer People Can Fly has been hard at work trying to extinguish the fires, but it also plans to reward players for their patience with a special “thank you”

Tap your collarbone and warm up your whistling lips, because Deadly Premonition 2 is coming to PC this year. Following its Nintendo Switch debut in July 2020, the open-world murder mystery/survival horror/daily life RPG is coming to Steam next.

Capcom, bless their hearts, really like the idea of Resident Evil multiplayer.

Respawn has done a phenomenal job at ensuring that the Apex Legends experience continues to evolve in a meaningful way. Set within the Titanfall universe, many players have been wondering if the battle royale game would be incorporating more fully with its Titanfall counterpart. Luckily, Apex Legends season 9 promises just that, though we’re selfishly

It’s rare that I’m impressed by graphics anymore, but The Ascent’s recent trailer had me stepping through it frame-by-frame just so I could squint at the details. It’s a co-op, topdown shooter set in a cyberpunk world, and it bangs, fizzes, smokes, and glistens in pleasing ways. The Ascent has a seemingly typical cyberpunk world.

Final Fantasy XIV‘s next expansion is Endwalker, which will conclude the story that’s been running through the massively multiplayer game since A Realm Reborn launched in 2013.
