Machinima, the popular video game channel dedicated to bringing tons of video game related, uh, videos, took it upon themselves to cast and produce a series of short YouTube videos showing the zombie outbreak, gamer-style, with ‘Bite Me.’ What it amounts to a blend of relevant humor, references and a some good ol’ gore, though the first season - consisting of 5 episodes - doesn’t actually dwell too much on the action until the finale....

Video games have a… sour history with movies. Movies based on video games are often awful dreck, and games based on movies are… well, often awful dreck. Most are cheaply and quickly thrown together in order to capitalize on a movie’s release and are promptly eviscerated and forgotten. That said, there are a few hidden gems buried in all the waste. Whether they were made by a competent studio or actually had some time and money pumped into them, these games broke the trend and were actually worth playing....
When people think of Pokémon games, they tend to focus on the mainline core titles that tell the canon story within the series, such as Pokémon Red and Blue. But, aside from the numerous generations in the series, Pokémon goes well beyond the call of duty to produce plenty of spin-off titles, side stories, and additional content. With huge games running rampant like the mobile powerhouse, Pokémon GO, or cult titles from the series history, it’s easy to forget that there are so many out there....
The next-generation Xbox console is going to be the most powerful console ever made. Codenamed “Project Scarlett,” the next-generation Xbox will support ray-tracing technology and 8K resolution. According to Microsoft, the console will be even more powerful than PlayStation 5. With all the power, the console is going to rely on its exclusives to draw players. We saw incredible exclusives on the Xbox One, but it was lackluster in comparison to the PlayStation 4....
Hideo Kojima is one of gaming’s most recognizable names. Since the 1980s he has worked on numerous titles, the most legendary of which is the tactical espionage action franchise Metal Gear. Through his odd storytelling techniques and even more bizarre game play mechanics, he has become a polarizing figure. Some eat up every ounce of his weirdness, while others find it unbearably ludicrous and nonsensical. He also gained more notoriety in 2015 for his highly publicized exodus from Konami, the publisher he worked with for almost thirty years....
Next to The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, The Witcher III: Wild Hunt is probably the most meme-able video game this decade. It was released a little later in 2015 but became revolutionary enough to the open-world video game genre that people don’t mind playing The Witcher 3 again for the hundredth time because why not? Nothing is quite like it at the moment. Of course, over the years of endless playthrough loops, players just can’t notice the idiosyncrasies of The Witcher 3....
Nostalgia is seemingly always in style. Every company loves to reference their older titles to play with their fans and their love of classic games.

How many people remember grabbing your Gameboy Color or even Nintendo DS to play the latest Pokémon title?...
Although the appearance of Vesemir, old witcher and mentor to Geralt and the others at Kaer Morhen, has not been officially confirmed by Netflix, it is highly likely that we may meet him in the next season of The Witcher. The only one remaining from his generation, Vesemir was just a fencing instructor during the attack at Kaer Morhen who survived due to being hidden by the bodies of his comrades....
Sometimes, the focus of a game isn’t on story, and that’s okay. Games like Apex Legends strive on lore bits and delivering a solid multiplayer experience, whereas others like Borderlands 3 have a gimmick or genre it actually defines. As a threequel to the original looter shooter, many held Borderlands to this light, in which it mostly delivers, yet there will always be gamers who prefer a solid story. Plot holes can sometimes mess with a solid story, and sometimes things just don’t make sense....

This review contains spoilers for Agents of SHIELD. Agents of SHIELD Season 7 Episode 1 It’s strange to say, but even though Agents of SHIELD season 7 begins in the completely foreign setting of 1931 New York, the show already feels more comfortable in its skin than it did during the shrike crisis of season six. This is in no small part due to Clark Gregg returning to his more familiar personality in the character of LMD Coulson, who is immediately an acceptable replacement for the dead director simply because he cleanses our palate of the acrid memory of Sarge....
