Just in time for the holidays, Capcom has released a brand new trailer for Marvel Vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds featuring more of the roster of fighters in action, as well as teasing that more characters are yet to be revealed. Fans of the series will recognize the soundtrack as a remix of the Take You For a Ride character-select theme, and while no new fighters or stages are divulged in the trailer, it features most of the story details, characters, and fighting styles that have previously been released....

Nintendo of America has extended its The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time soundtrack offer, at least for a little while. Recognizing strong demand for the soundtrack and technical issues on their end, Nintendo of America is giving fans a longer opportunity. Now Club Nintendo members that register their copy of the The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D by midnight Pacific Time today – Monday, June 20, 2011 – will receive the soundtrack CD....

A lot of us probably have more free time at home than we know what to do these days. If you’re an anime fan looking for some new shows to check out, look no further. Here are some of the best short anime that you should binge ASAP. The Promised Neverland (24 Episodes) I’d love to give a proper synopsis of this show, but the less you know about it, the better....

The Boys Season 3 has sadly come to a close. As with the first two seasons, this is a show that manages to combine the superhero genre with excellent commentary about fame and power and how that affects those with it and those at the mercy of those with it. The Boys offers many different plotlines, most of which are still open as the show has been renewed for a fourth season....

The Pokédex is as synonymous with Pokémon as Pokéballs. They’ve been a staple of the franchise since day one and actually directly influenced the plot of the first game. In many respects, they’re the direct influencer of every mainline Pokémon game as the games don’t begin in earnest until trainers get their hands on their Pokédex. It’s not hard to see why, either. In an out of universe, the Pokédex is a trainer’s only real way of getting important in-game information....

Cheating has always been an important part of playing video games. Back in the day, they were often required just to beat the game, but, as games have gotten easier and more streamlined, they’ve become a way to just kick back and have a different sort of fun. Still, some developers don’t like the idea of their players cheating. In fact, many have actively discouraged the very idea by punishing the player for using cheats....

The Marvel Cinematic Universe relies heavily on CGI, and rightly so. It is hard to tell stories of inter-universal conflict featuring celestial beings and other-worldly monsters without the help of visual effects. Most of the time, the result is stunning world-building and captivating action sequences. But every now and then, the digital artistry falls short, and the final cuts that make it to screen leave us groaning with a lemon face....

Many know Square Enix for their Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, and Kingdom Hearts games, but Square is considered a AAA publisher because they publish and make so many more widely selling games than just those series. Square Enix has produced many RPG series that people love, all while producing and publishing games that are well-loved and pretty popular on their own merit. You may recognize some of these titles all without realizing they were Square Enix games when you first heard or played them, while others may be niche classics....

Since their earliest days, video games and Dungeons & Dragons have been intertwined. Leveling, party interactions, inventory management, and sweeping narrative consequences are baked into the DNA of each. Some video games, like Divinity: Original Sin and the upcoming Baldur’s Gate III, proudly wear the influence of Gary Gygax’s seminal role-playing tabletop game on their sleeves. It seems strange, though, that despite the years of shared history, few video games have been adapted into D&D campaigns....

Readers may have started smelling something peculiar in the air these past few months. Don’t be alarmed, that’s just the aura of next generation gaming. With both Sony and Microsoft’s consoles having official names, the PS5 and Xbox Series X respectively, the new era of gaming feels closer than ever. While concrete details are scarce, rumors are swirling around like a storm. To put some order to it all, the following list will detail ten rumors about the next generation that could potentially be true....

A cameo is defined by the Oxford English Dictionary as “a brief appearance or voice part of a known person in a work of the performing arts, typically unnamed or appearing as themselves.” There are many reasons to include a cameo in your work. Sometimes a cameo is done as an homage to a previous work, such as having the original actor appear in a movie’s remake. Sometimes a cameo is a sort of mass media easter egg, unnoticeable but to the trained or forewarned eye, like finding the director in the movie she directed....

Though The Legend of Zelda is one of the most beloved video game series in the whole world, it is a franchise that is not known for its narrative complexity. To be fair, most Nintendo games rarely have deep and complicated main stories. Rarely, if ever, would you witness a Mario game that isn’t simply about Mario saving the Princess from Bowser. This isn’t a criticism towards Nintendo; what works, works....

Although there is technically still an active G.I. Joe toy line to this day, the most famous was the “Real American Hero” era that lasted from 1982 to 1994. In that time, over 500 figures were produced, most of which went on to appear in the 1980s animated TV show and/or the Marvel Comics series. Obviously, there are only so many variations on traditional military tropes, so Hasbro had to start getting creative with the direction of new toys as demand called for more and more figures....

The Avengers. Over the years this group of heroes has grown in popularity with each Marvel film that they appear in. From the original six members to the newer members that have cropped up with the latest films, there are many different characters that fans have come to love. And with different characters comes all sorts of fan art. The biggest thing to be found with Avenger fan art, other than funny, cute, and emotional situations, are ones that transform the characters....

Red Dead Redemption 2 is one of the best games of the year. I shouldn’t have to state why this is the case to anyone who has played it, but just in case you haven’t, let me fill you in. The game… is… awesome! The story is a moving tale about one of the last few bands of outlaws left in the West. They are a close-knit group of people, more of a family than a gang, but you have to watch as the ties that bind them slowly unravel....

Fighting games have been way popular pretty much ever since they burst upon the scene around the late 80s or the early 90s. Whether you’re more of a Street Fighter or a Mortal Kombat type, pumping quarters into arcade machines for hours to win that last rematch is a huge part of gaming, even more so in the 80s despite the recent comeback of arcades. Aside from that, if you’re not quite devoted enough for competitive play, you can always pop in a Tekken game at a party and hope you’re lucky enough to button-mash your way to a victory....

The age-long debate between various monster collectors across the globe has raged on since the ’90s, but are we any closer to getting some clarity on the situation? Pokémon is the older brother; more successful, leading the pack, and looking like there will be no end in sight. Digimon comes in with a chip on its shoulder, ready to take a stand. Between these two behemoths, who does it better? Is Digimon actually the better series and everyone who says otherwise is crazy?...

Remember all those times in games you thought you had all the power and then realised you were just a schmo with a controller in your hand? It hurts, right? You want to love your favourite hobby but when it screws you over, well, it’s hard to pick yourself back up. Games to do this all the time, however, especially when it comes to the idea of choice. Developers love to trick you into thinking you’re in control when actually it’s not true at all....
