Room 8 Group finalizes integration of Massive Black and PUGA

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is finally launching tomorrow, which has given producer Yoshinori Kitase some time to catch up on his backlog, namely The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.

Dragon Ball FighterZ finally launches digitally on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and S on February 29 at midnight local time.

Ho boy, I'm not sure I'm prepared for this. The prolific horror movie series Paranormal Activity is finally getting its own video game, and it's in development by Brian Clarke, the creator of The Mortuary Assistant, itself one of the most frightening games I've played in my long career of playing scary games.

Technology, as storied author Ursula K. Le Guin noted in a prescient 2005 post, is not limited to high-tech hardware but also encompasses the likes of paper, furniture, medicine, and much more. I would go further and argue that some outwardly high-tech hardware should not be classified as technology, and I will now point any naysayers to the GameScent Automated Gaming Scent Atomizer, a $180 AI-powered box that will fart out smells designed to match whatever game you're currently playing.

Tomorrow will be a big day for certain fans, as Tuesday is Pokemon Day worldwide. The day is held in “hollowed space” amongst the fans because it celebrates the original release date of the classic monster-catching titles in Japan. While they got an upgrade before coming over to the West, their impact can’t be undersold. After all, we’re still talking about the franchise and its success over 25 years later, and all sorts of people and publications have written about it and its games and have honored its achievements and anniversaries. So with the upcoming Pokemon Presents, gamers are curious about what will be shown, and Pokemon Black and White seems to be the thing everyone thinks is coming.

Adam Sandler playing an astronaut on a solo mission to the edge of the solar system in the sci-fi drama “Spaceman,” and Disney 's animated coming-of-age story “Iwájú” set in the future in Lagos, Nigeria, are some of the new television, movies, music and games headed to a device near you.

At the 2024 D.I.C.E. Summit in Las Vegas, Amazon Games partnered with Black Voices in Gaming to provide sponsorships to underrepresented game devs and entrepreneurs, allowing them to attend the event and connect with some of the biggest names in the business.

After Paul Thomas Anderson’s Punch-Drunk Love, after Noah Baumbach’s The Meyerowitz Stories (New And Selected), after Jason Reitman’s Men, Women & Children and the Safdie brothers’ Uncut Gems, film fans must be used to the idea of Adam Sandler as a comedian willing to step into dramatic roles. But they still haven’t seen him give a performance like the one he delivers in Netflix’s new science fiction movie Spaceman. His character, Czech astronaut Jakub Procházka, is painfully introverted, emotionally repressed, and above all, quiet. Sandler’s dramatic roles have mostly been about energy — sometimes restless, barely contained, often aggressive energy. Jakub is so muted and compressed, he seems like a trauma victim.

Thank your own personal deity—possibly Fortinbras—it's Friday! Well, by now you've heard that Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is quite the sequel. I've been playing it for two weeks and have secretly been trying to tell you all how good it is via a complex system of blinks and winks. That probably didn't translate well into text. Anyway, it's great and worth paying full price for. But why do that when you can do this?

Lionsgate's upcoming reboot of The Crow has finally landed on a release date – and it's much closer than we'd anticipated. 

When Backerkit’s crowdfunding platform formally launched in mid-2023, the company quickly made strides in the tabletop space, primarily by courting disaffected Kickstarter users. Now co-founder and CEO Maxwell Salzberg tells Polygon that his company already has twice the number of tabletop campaigns committed to the platform in 2024 as it did for all of last year — which isn’t bad for what he calls a “bootstrapped” company. The goal for 2024? Keep the crowdfunding ball rolling while also managing its expansive pledge-management services.

Following the announcement of six Blood Hunt spin-off limited series, Marvel has topped things off with two more three issue tie-ins - and the announcement of seven Blood Hunt tie-in arcs to current ongoing titles.
