Now, the newest character for the chaotic fighter that is Anarchy Reigns has been revealed to be the hilariously offensive stereotypical pimp, the Blacker Baron....

While Bioware has made it clear that there will be one more major Mass Effect 2 expansion, details on the DLC have been sparse. In January, PlayStation 3 owners were given a hint of the new content when a patch added new trophies, including one titled “Arrival.” Now fans can start drooling in anticipation, because within the box for Bioware’s next big game, Dragon Age 2, lies a teasing message that “the ARRIVAL has begun....
I am predominantly a sports gamer, and as such it takes a lot to blow me away. Activision’s Little League World Series 2010 did just that. It blew me away. When I first picked up the game I wasn’t expecting much more than a gloried version of Wii Sports Baseball. In some ways that initial expectation was fairly accurate, but this game far exceeds Wii Sports. Little League World Series 2010 has a cool look to it, with players seemingly crossed between an Xbox Avatar and a Mii....
HBO’s The Last of Us adaptation has pulled some incredible viewership numbers. With the show being an absolutely blowout, there’s every reason to expect that season two is practically guaranteed.

Fan casting is always fun, and we have our own ideas of actresses who could (and should) play Abby in a second season of The Last of Us....
When it comes to listing out some of the greatest video games of all time, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt will be in the top 10 at the very least, if not at the peak of the list itself.

Still, this list of games from smaller development teams all exist outside the AAA game space, with an interesting exception, but these 15 indie games were the biggest, best, and most notable ones of 2019....
If you’ve ever walked into a game store, you know the title Assassin’s Creed. It’s the juggernaut of the Ubisoft company, one that spans pretty much every modern console, including the regulars like Xbox One and PlayStation 4, but also WiiU, PC gaming, Playstation Portable and Vita, as well as the Nintendo DS. Basically, if you play video games anywhere, you can play Assassin’s Creed. We all know the age old fight between the Assassins and the Templars, as both want peace, but have vastly different ideas of how to get it (kind of like the Mages and Templars in Dragon Age)....
You know what more Disney villains need? Children. Boom, then you can get an element that automatically can make a story more complex. You know what children love? Disney. Children and Disney are like my cat and catnip. Yet in terms of characters, we don’t see very young children associate with villains. Now I’m all into dark stories, so these could just be the thoughts of a mild weirdo, but wouldn’t it be cool to have children associate more with villains in Disney stories?...
