If you’ve been awaiting the release ofNBA 2K11 and you’re a Game Rant reader, you’ve probably seen my first impressions of the demo, and you know I wasn’t too happy with it. It was pretty bare bones; It didn’t allow you to do much other than a ‘quick game’, and you couldn’t even make substitutions. As a result, when I picked up the retail copy, I was more nervous than I normally would be for a 2K Sports release....

Overwatch 2 is gearing up for a brand new season of content, with Season 2 of the free-to-play shooter set to arrive imminently.

Here’s everything we know about when to expect Overwatch 2 Season 2....

The Final Fantasy series has had a rollercoaster of a decade. They began it with the launch of Final Fantasy XIII, one of the most controversial entries in the series. Many fans at the time couldn’t get past the linearity before the game opened up after around 50 hours of gameplay. The MMO and successor to Final Fantasy XI, Final Fantasy XIV had a disastrous launch in 2010, the same year as Final Fantasy XIII leaving a bad taste in the mouths of long-time fans....

If you’re into strategy games, you’ve probably at least dabbled in Supercell’s Clash of Clans for your phone or tablet. You are charged with building up your own base, mostly through an effective defensive scheme littered with weapons and traps to protect your important buildings. On the offensive side, clan leaders develop their armies by training and strengthening a litany of different troops, each with their own purpose. This is where the real fun begins....

10 The Blues Brothers ($200) Based on the characters from the 1980 comedy The Blues Brothers, the object of this GameBoy game is to help brothers Jake and Elwood outrun police and get to a blues concert. The Blues Brothers first appeared on Atari in 1991 and was released one year later on the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) and GameBoy. It is rare to find an unopened copy of this today, but sellers on eBay list like-new copies, including the original instructions and box, for $200....

There’s nothing like kicking back with friends, opening up some cold ones, and delving into a video game that offers plenty of chances to knock back some drinks. This could be due to regular occurrences and lines delivered by characters, an absurdly high level of challenge that sees you die repeatedly, or any number of other stipulations that mark the opportunity to get some sip. Of the games currently available though, these are our picks for the 10 video games that make for perfect drinking games....

Hyrule is perhaps Nintendo’s most iconic location. The home of The Legend of Zelda, the mystical land of Hyrule is a world full of lore and history that fans debate feverishly over. The series has done a great job at developing the region, especially in recent years, by shedding more light on the culture and people of Hyrule. That’s not to say the earlier games aren’t full of details, however. You can go back to the very first Zelda and infer a lot from the nearly uninhabited land....

Since his epic debut in 1981 against a homicidal ape, Mario has had appearances in over one hundred video games across eighteen consoles. However, none are as iconic as his first three starring roles on the Nintendo Entertainment System. Here, we were introduced to the big-bellied, fire-shooting, princess-saving plumber. Some would call the three “super” games a trilogy, while some others would consider Super Mario Brothers 2 a remake. In Super Mario Brothers 2, we are reintroduced to the heroic mustachioed maniac as well as his brother, his leading lady, and a shorty named Toad....

Like Sega’s ill-fated Dreamcast, the Nintendo GameCube may have failed commercially, but today it’s held in high regard by gamers, and many of its titles have a cult following. The GameCube’s legacy isn’t merely limited to retro, cult appeal, though, and many games on the platform have survived and have been continued on later Nintendo platforms. It also played host to some people’s all-time favorite entries in long-running Nintendo series, with its incarnations of some iconic Nintendo franchises beating those on the more successful platforms from the Japanese giant....

In distilling an entire film down to two and a half minutes or less, some things are bound to get lost in translation. With so much competition, the emphasis seems to be put on showing at least a little of every, major setpiece and giving audiences a strong idea of what to expect. On the other hand, some trailers hide what the film really is–we’ve all seen trailers that have given us a certain expectation, only to leave us a little baffled once we see the final film....

Back when I first got into anime over a decade ago (has it really been so long?), there were three huge anime that absolutely dominated Shonen Jump; One Piece, Bleach, and Naruto. Three of the classic gateway anime you recommend folks who are looking into getting into anime. You could not go anywhere online without hearing chatter about these three giants. Whether it was self-insert fanfics, cool fanart, or crazy conspiracy theories about what was coming next, you could always hear about the latest news whether you wanted to or not....

World of Warcraft Classic has arrived and brought back login queue times, Barrens chat, and a whole lot of really bad Chuck Norris jokes. Much like the 90s are alive in Portland, the very specific time frame of 2004-2006 is alive and well in Azeroth. In a turn of events that was definitely surprising for some people, World of Warcraft Classic has had an incredibly popular start. The new service has been so popular that Blizzard had to open more servers to fight overpopulation....

Thursday Friday Saturday Sunday Monday Tuesday Part of the afternoon was spent lining up an App of the Day for the following day, and I stupidly opted for a camera-based app that enables you to make your own Andy Wahol-style digital screenprint. I got as far as prepping the images, writing the intro and downloading the app before it occured to me that I wasn’t actually allowed to test it due to the 7 Days rules....

As with several other games, even Assassin’s Creed Valhalla comes with numerous glitches. One such glitch that you will experience while playing the game is during the “A Wise Friend” quest. The quest is unlocked at Ravensthorpe when your settlement level is 3. It tasks you with talking to Valka and helping with the crates. You have to follow Valka and deliver the crates to her settlement. But the bug halts the quest as Valka simply pauses usually in front of the blacksmith and will not proceed....
