Practically everyone has heard of Jumanji these days, due to the revival of the franchise through movie reboots. Since VR technology has improved dramatically in recent years, we’re coming closer to feeling like we are actually inside the games we play. However, we’re still a long way off to reaching the level of immersion where the game seems like reality, and that’s why pretty much every gamer has imagined what it would be like to be inside our favorite game....

A brand new day brings a fresh Wordle puzzle to stump even the sharpest of wordsmiths, and if you already know which words work and which don’t, then that is half the battle.

Most Potential Users In The USA Lack An Sufficient Internet Connection The requirements for streaming games vary significantly depending on the quality that one wants to see on their screen....

Temtem is out! Finally, after about 2 years of waiting, fans are able to play an MMORPG Pokémon-like game with an identity all its own. Temtem is an indie game, no two bones about it, but since it’s Kickstarter-inception people haven’t stopped comparing it to Pokémon. And now that the finished product is released (and constantly being patched), we feel its the perfect time to compare the two overall. Obviously, with Pokémon being one of the most successful IP’s in human history, Temtem isn’t about to overthrow it....

Most celebrities are celebrities for a reason—they are incredibly talented. And in today’s age, when video games are becoming more esteemed and respected as an art form, more and more celebrities are being drawn to the medium. That said, they don’t always nail their roles. Whether it’s through bad direction, poor writing, and/or just a general lack of care, some celebrities did a rather poor job with their respective voice roles....

God, we miss Robin Williams. Possibly one of the funniest and warmest comedians of his generation, the legendary Hollywood star will forever hold a special place in our hearts. Today, one of the Chicago-born actor’s family favorite flicks has managed to surge its way to the top of HBO’s bespoke streaming platform. Specifically, the film in question is 1995’s fantasy-adventure Jumanji, which, per FlixPatrol, has climbed its way to the number 1 spot on HBO, meaning it’s the most watched film on the service right now....

An “alternate” trailer for the upcoming wrestling game, WWE 2K22, has reportedly leaked online. Shared earlier today by a YouTube channel called WWE Attire and Shows, the new teaser - entitled “It Hits Different” - gives us almost two minutes of WWE action. However, it stopped short of revealing where the trailer had come from. You can watch it below but I’d be quick if I were you; there’s no way of knowing how long this will stay online if it’s an authentic leak (thanks, VGC):...

The next Nintendo Direct will premiere in less than two weeks time, claims a report from VGC. Kelios, an industry insider, has been on the money regarding Directs in the past, even predicting correctly the Direct Mini which was presented in March. Now, they’re saying that the next full Nintendo Direct will happen on July 20, and would end the ten-month absence of the showcase. Yep, the last Nintendo Direct we got was in September 2019....

This interview contains spoilers for Agents of SHIELD season 6. The Agents of SHIELD finale left us with a lot of questions, and while we did our best to explain the ending ourselves, we had to at least make an attempt at getting some answers from showrunners Maurissa Tancharoen, Jed Whedon, and Jeff Bell. They were noticeably tight-lipped with some of our probing inquiries, but we did succeed in getting them to speculate about audience reaction, the impacts on various characters, and the specific context of where things will begin in season 7....

Ever since the movie Aliens, games have tried to recreate the terror and desperation of its marines fighting against overwhelming odds. There have been few successes, and, well, let’s just say that others haven’t been so lucky. But it’s been a good minute since Aliens: Colonial Marines dropped with an audible flump. Now may be the time to revisit the dark, sci-fi corridors crawling with xenomorphs. Hopefully, Aliens: Fireteam Elite (once called just Aliens: Fireteam) won’t disappoint when it reaches its release date of August 24....

A new chapter has come to Fortnite, meaning an all-new map to learn.

Fans of The Dark Knight will be very happy to hear that his return to video games is going to be an experience that will make Arkham Asylum feel like playing in a cardboard box. As you already know, Batman: Arkham City will take place in, well, Arkham City, a district of Gotham that has been walled off to house the inmates of both Blackgate Prison and Arkham Asylum. It’s not a very friendly place....

The Batman: Arkham City hype train just keeps on rolling. The next station down the tracks is the Spike TV Video Game Awards being held next month. The appearance of the game is being billed as the game’s world premiere.

Halo is one of the defining video game series of this generation. With such a huge fan base, it’s a small wonder why it hasn’t gotten the Hollywood film treatment, especially with drama and action set pieces that would translate so well into the format. While there still isn’t any definitive word on a full length Hollywood feature, there is a promising short fan film being produced by Majic Pictures in association with Divine Film Studio going by the name Halo: Faith....

Just in case you have any doubt at all (and you shouldn’t), Harmonix has made a demo of their wildly popular and excellent rhythm game available to the masses on Xbox LIVE and PSN. The demo features a four song Quickplay list that allows players to preview keyboard segments (which are playable with a guitar controller) and the three-part harmonies carried over to Rock Band 3 from The Beatles: Rock Band....

There are unwritten rules that apply to puzzle games that don’t necessarily apply to other genres of games. Puzzle games do not need flashy high-res graphics to be fun. Puzzle games do not need to be overly complex to be fun and challenging. Lastly, puzzle games do not need to be rage-quit inducingly difficult to provide a worthy challenge. In fact, it seems the more a puzzle game deviates from these rules, the lower the prospect of it being considered a great game – unless there are other aspects to the game....
