The third addition to the Harry Potter franchise, The Prisoner of Azkaban is significantly darker and much more intense story-wise, and is widely remarked as the favorite of the films. Director Alfonso Cuaron established the tone and style of the world that these characters inhabit, which continued to future films. Prisoner of Azkaban was the turning point of series, marking the point when our lead characters were going from adolescent to teenagers, and was the beginning of the films becoming much more intense in visual feel and subject matter....

Of the games I knew were coming out for sure this year, The Division 2 was, funnily enough, number two on my wish list. The first was Kingdom Hearts III because I am a huge fan. Hmm, that just gave me a random idea for a spinoff. Wouldn’t it be cool if they expanded the mobile game, Union Cross, into a looter-shooter, or I guess in this case, a looter hack and slasher?...

Hear that? That’s the sound of every PC gamer in the world simultaneously sucking their breath in through clenched teeth. In a move that pretty much everyone knew was coming after Infinity Ward still sold a bazillion copies of Modern Warfare 2 despite not having LAN play or dedicated servers, 2K Games has confirmed there will be no such support for their upcoming philososhooter (I just came up with that. Nice huh?...

Yet everyone who has completed the main quest will surely confirm that there are a lot, and I mean a lot, of secrets in the game. Whether it be mysterious locations for you to explore or some details that mess with the player, there is always something to discover. Some of these mysteries are so well hidden that very few people can claim to have known them beforehand....

The following contains spoilers for 30 Rock: A One-Time Special. Unlike the Parks and Recreation reunion special earlier this year, 30 Rock: A One-Time Special wasn’t designed to bring comfort to folks during a pandemic or raise money for charity. Instead it was a Trojan horse to sell ad space. It’s not a surprise; since network’s upfronts were canceled, the 30 Rock “special” was created to tout NBC’s slate of programming, talent, and their new streaming service, Peacock, to journalists and advertisers....

Now we know what you’re thinking: Why would I want to sign up for yet another gaming subscription service? We’re starting to get overrun with cloud streaming services, and there’s a pretty good chance you’re already signed to either Xbox Game Pass, PS Now, EA Origin, and pretty soon we’ll have Google Stadia to kick around as well. But here’s the thing: Uplay+ is going to be free for the first month, so at that price point why wouldn’t you give it a go?...

Trident is one of the best weapons you can have in Minecraft. Players cannot craft it and the only way to get it is by waiting for a Drowned to drop it. Important weapons are difficult to get and the same is the case with the trident. Once you have the trident make the most of it by adding the best enchantments to it. Enchantments are add-ons you can use on your weapons in Minecraft to increase their capabilities....

One of the most popular online collectible card games (CCG) right now is Hearthstone by developer Blizzard. The game launched in 2014 and has undergone constant innovation with several expansions throughout the year. Here is everything a new player needs to dive right into the game. What Is Hearthstone?

Lollipop Chainsaw, the over-the-top zombie game from No More Heroes creator Suda51, will be making a return. That’s according to Yoshimi Yasuda, the game’s executive producer, who recently formed a fresh company to work on projects unknown. Does this mean a re-release, a remaster or a sequel to the original Lollipop Chainsaw, which celebrates its 10th anniversary this week? Yasuda declined to mention. “Lollipop Chainsaw is back by Dragami Games,” Yasuda said, namechecking his new company....

Few Tom Cruise movies have come out of nowhere to be met with such a resoundingly disappointing thud as 2017’s The Mummy. That’s right, it’s fair to say that Universal Pictures’ first foray into its planned Dark Universe series — which the company swiftly pumped the brakes on following the abysmal reception of this movie — was a mind-numbingly dreary slog. Directed by Alex Kurtzman, The Mummy had some pretty cool ideas up its sleeve....

While every year brings something new, there are some things that make regular returns: tax season, holidays, and Call of Duty games. This year is no exception, as Activision officially confirmed during their Q4 Investor Call today, February 6th, that a new entry in the military shooter series will be coming out this fall. While this news isn’t surprising seeing as Call of Duty has gotten the annualization treatment since 2005, there was something surprising about this announcement....

20th Century Fox will celebrate all things Alien on official Alien Day this coming April 26, the studio has announced. The date is related to the exmoon LV-426, where the xenomorphs were discovered in Ridley Scott’s Alien. The day will see the launch of a wide range of Alien merchandise, including replicas of the Reebok Stompers worn by Sigourney Weaver’s Ellen Ripley. You’ll also be able to buy the mid top version worn by Bishop the android....

Focus Interactive has released a new trailer for upcoming multiplayer Xenomorph shooter Aliens: Fireteam Elite ahead of its release later this month. In addition to the new footage, the publisher has also announced that the game will be available in a standard and Deluxe Edition. The latter will come with an Endeavor Pass which promises four seasons of post-launch content over the next year. While light on specifics, the announcement mentions “tons of new cosmetics for their Marines and their weapons, from head accessories to weapon decals, weapon paints, armor skins, emotes and much more....

While the newest installment in the Call of Duty franchise strays from the franchise’s identity, Modern Warfare 2 continues the tradition of giving players ways to turn the tide in their favor. We’re talking about killstreaks or scorestreaks, and this entry gives players many new and returning streaks to aid them in their conquest. We’ve compiled a tier list of them all to keep you informed and prepped before you head into the field....

The 1.18 Update in Minecraft has overhauled the World Generation for every Minecraft Seed. The World of Minecraft generates very differently as compared to its prior update. We have Gigantic Mountains and Deep Caves. With this update, they were a lot of changes made to Biomes. Some were removed as they served their purpose in the older versions and some were added. In today’s article, I will be talking about the 8 new Biomes that were added in Minecraft 1....

When it came to expanding the experience of Dragon Age: Origins, BioWare thought it would be a pleasant change of pace if some of the game’s DLC featured the player embodying someone other than their Warden. Unfortunately, this bold move didn’t pay off and has since made gamers fearful that Dragon Age 2 will repeat the same mistake. Thankfully, when speaking with Eurogamer, Dragon Age 2 lead designer Mike Laidlaw acknowledged the problems that arose from Origin’s DLC – namely the fact they moved away from the core story of the game....

Most likely in response to the tremendous amount of Modern Warfare 3 information that leaked today, Infinity Ward and Activision have just released three teaser trailers for the game. While these three trailers are devoid of gameplay they do, however, verify some information that was previously revealed. The most important element to take away from these trailers is that Modern Warfare 3 does exist. Gamers had known for some time that Infinity Ward, sans West and Zampella, were working on a successor to MW2, but, aside from that, information was slim....

Blizzard isn’t what it used to be—this had already become a common sentiment well in advance of what many found to be an all-around poor handling of Hearthstone pro Blitzchung’s ban from competitive play. In a new interview with PC Gamer, the founders of Blizzard North and creators of Diablo, David Brevik, Erich Schaefer, and Max Schaefer, essentially all agreed that Blizzard has changed, and attributed it to an inevitability of growing into a significantly larger company....

After a short delay, Valve is gearing up to release Portal 2 in mid April and gamers’ anticipation for the title is reaching an all time high. We have the details on the full list of Portal 2 achievements to help pass the time. The original Portal was a huge hit and one of the highlights of Valve’s Orange Box.
