Things have been somewhat quiet since it was revealed earlier this month that Rick and Morty co-creator and voice actor of the two leads had been charged with domestic violence. However, Adult Swim has now broken the silence and revealed the next steps in light of this news. As it turns out, the answer is basically a scorched-earth approach. Adult Swim has announced that it has fully cut ties with Justin Roiland....

This article may contain spoilers for the Season 6 premiere of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. fans got a treat on Saturday (March 30) at WonderCon in Anaheim as the show’s sixth season opener was world premiered in the Anaheim Convention Center’s arena — nearly a month and a half before the now-confirmed broadcast premiere date of May 10.

A few years ago there were two attempts to take the Bionic Commando property and bring it into the next gen. While the retail version of Bionic Commando failed in many ways the old school downloadable option, Bionic Commando Rearmed, was all that we loved from the original with an HD facelift. Now, straight out of TGS, comes an in-depth look at the newly announced Bionic Commando Rearmed 2. Much like the original, Rearmed is your standard left to right side scrolling shooter with some added flourishes to spice up gameplay, principal among those being the mechanical arm the protagonist possesses....

Long after a movie, TV show, or even a video game it’s sometimes relaxing to sit back and listen to the musical stylings of a soundtrack. It’s important to appreciate the music as its own entity. Other times a soundtrack hits so hard that it’s worth using as workout music or releasing frustrations while driving home from work music. Either way, if you’re a fan of video game soundtracks then it might be worth picking up the soundtrack to Call of Duty: Black Ops....

Illusion magic demonstrates the power of appearances. In Dungeons & Dragons, the Illusion School blends in the fake with the real. With the right skill, an Illusionist can overwhelm the mind with their fake creations.

D&D 5e offers a wide range of Illusion Spells that make great additions to a Spellcaster’s repertoire. Some Illusion Spells outclass the deadliest magics....

Video game movies. Since the unfortunate debacle that was Super Mario Bros., an understandable stigma has been attached to the idea of adapting a video game property into a feature film. Many have tried to prove themselves as exceptions to the rule but, for the most part, instead have ended up adding their name to the list of victims. You can say that video game movies are impossible, but Hollywood isn’t sold just yet as a new property has been optioned for a film and a writer has been tasked with penning the script....

In a gaming world dominated by male super-egos and muscle-heads, Bayonetta is the heroine we needed to break the mold on conventional archetypes. This ass-kicking femme-fatale, karate-chopped her way on-screen back in 2009. Since then, the leather-touting, gun-heeled witch has been showing demons and monsters who’s boss across the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Wii U and Nintendo Switch game consoles.

With Discover University now out of the way for The Sims 4, the big question on everyone’s mind is what we’re most likely to see next. While you might argue all major expansions seen in the past are already out of the way, there’s still a ton of features and brand new things the franchise could introduce at this stage. From adding more exotic animals that we could potentially visit during safari trips to finally bringing in cars and other vehicles, the possibilities are still endless....

The Legend of Zelda series is robust, spanning a total of 15 games (not counting spin-offs). As in most adventure games money, rupees, are needed to buy equipment and other various items. And once currency appears in a game at least some form of economy is sure to follow. The Legend of Zelda has had years and years to build its economy, and the result is a little ridiculous. Here’s why....

Some of my earliest memories are actually of the Pokémon games. I was holding a Gameboy as early as I could be, and it’s weird to me that those games have lived so far with all the new releases still happening. Like many others who grew up with Pokémon, they’re now playing Pokémon Go and getting each new game release as it comes out. When Pokémon: Let’s Go was announced, many of those same fans were all about it....

Discounts notwithstanding, an official pair of Joy-Cons typically costs a whopping $79.99. Luckily, thanks mostly to the efforts of third parties, there are a number of cheaper options out there. These will mostly come in the form of pro controller, as these are cheaper to construct....
