The announcement of the latest Marvel game, Marvel Rivals, took many by surprise, not only does the gameplay look epic, but there’s a solid voice cast too.

Marvel doesn’t have the best track record when it comes to video games, but recent years have seen the company improve its reputation immensely.

Little Alchemy is a curious free-to-play puzzle game where you combine elements to create almost anything you wish. Yes, anything, including the atomic giant lizard Godzilla.

Nowadays, eSports is a relatively common, largely respected, career, but there was a time when video game streamers were few and far between. In those days, Ninja reigned supreme.

Say “sul sul!” to your new most-anticipated movie, as beloved gaming franchise The Sims is set to make a cinematic expansion.

Solo Leveling‘s rise to fame should be studied in close detail. Not only did it become the world’s biggest action manhwa, the most anticipated anime in recent years, but it is also on its way to getting the world of video games by storm with Solo Leveling: ARISE. An icon, if you ask me.

After winning the hearts of millions of anime fans, the legendary K-Webtoon Solo Leveling is now set to resurrect as an action role-playing game. Are you excited to level up and become the world’s strongest hunter?

X-Men ’97 is everything we could’ve hoped from Marvel‘s first attempt at tackling the mutant team and more. No joke, I just wanted to make that clear from the off. It’s authentic to both the original ’90s animation and the spirit of the beloved brand in general.

An icon in the eyes of action film fans, Carrie-Anne Moss returns to television in the new Star Wars series, The Acolyte. In it, the performer will be playing Jedi Master Indara, at the height of the High Republic.

League of Legends remains the most important battle arena combat gaming experience in the world, and tier lists are crucial to your success.

Steve Rogers is finally back in action, with the newly unveiled game Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra seeing the newly-empowered super soldier bashing the fash in occupied Paris. Along the way, he’ll be tangling with that era’s Black Panther Azzuri, T’Challa’s grandfather, with the pair united against the same enemy but with different goals.

While superhero movies may have hit a rough patch at the box office, the genre is going from strength to strength in video games. Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 was amazing (also spectacular) and we have great-looking titles about Blade and Wolverine on the way. But as of last night, the future looks a lot brighter for Marvel fans after the unveiling of the first trailer for Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra.

As the video game industry grows and the technological tools for turning flesh-and-bone actors into digital beings evolve, it’s only natural for Hollywood stars to become more present in games.

We now have an inkling as to what the next generation of Xbox consoles will look like thanks to the FTC v. Microsoft lawsuit, and they’re closer to being released than you think.

Triple-A games have had it rough these past couple of years — while we’ve had plenty of great titles, there have been just as many disasters.Take the Suicide Squad game, for example. But fans are looking forward to the upcoming Stellar Blade, even if it is proving to be pretty controversial.

Lately it seems like every popular YouTuber is either taking a break or quitting altogether. Most recently, the legendary MatPat stepped away from making videos after almost 15 years, and a recent video from Markiplier has caused fans to worry that he may be leaving too.

In an age where more and more people are picking up gaming as a hobby, inclusivity is more important than ever; diversity can attract new gamers, and can open up a story to go somewhere completely new — and that is what Sweet Baby Inc stands for.

With Amazon Prime’s Fallout TV series right around the corner, it’s time to delve back into the post-apocalyptic world of the game to get us in the mood.

Fortnite really comes through with its collaborations, but surprisingly, One Piece has never been among Epic Games’ team-ups — despite having worked with a few anime in the past. And you know how one thing leads to another — it only takes one anime to get the ball rolling.

One of the longest running digital media and gaming companies, Rooster Teeth, is being shut down after more than 20 years, multiple controversies, several owners, and an unsuccessful rebrand. Rooster Teeth’s general manager announced the shutdown at a company wide meeting on Mar. 6, after parent company Warner Bros. Discovery decided that it didn’t see a path to profitability. Considering the number of scandals over the years, it’s surprising it didn’t happen sooner. Let’s take a look at what happened.

Ask someone to name the most iconic video game music of all time, and they’ll probably say it’s the Halo theme. It’s instantly recognisable, strangely beautiful, and 100% nostalgic. However, the mastermind behind the tune no longer works for Bungie, so what’s going on there?

Marty O’Donnell, the famed and beloved composer of the Halo soundtracks has announced his plans to run for Congress to fight for “self-sacrifice, faith, integrity, fidelity, and valor”. And he’s doing this by siding with the man who embodies the exact opposite of every single one of those qualities.

Courage the Cowardly Dog is one of the coolest cartoon shows to come out of the early 2000s. A cartoon with horror elements about a pink dog who’s a scaredy cat? That’s art, baby.

If you’re into esports then you’ll no doubt have heard of Lee Sang-Hyeok, better known as Faker. He’s known for playing the ever popular League of Legends, and has been hailed as the best player in the world — he is to League what Michael Jordan is to basketball.

Visionaries of the past probably never predicted that the very tech supposed to make life easier would be used to steal identities, bypass consent to exploit someone’s privacy, or sell your personal information on the Dark Web, with the latter being especially distressing to everyone who has an account with Fortnite creator Epic Games.

With Infinite Craft, players can combine diverse gaming concepts to form novel elements, ranging from fictional characters to abstract ideas.

With Infinite Craft, you can create diverse anime shows, and one particularly well-received series lately is Jujutsu Kaisen. Crafting this show can be a bit intricate, but I’ll walk you through each step of the gaming process.

When gaming icon Hideo Kojima talks, people listen. The Metal Gear and Death Stranding creator is currently riding high after a stupendously great Death Stranding 2: On the Beach reveal and the Disney Plus premiere of the documentary Hideo Kojima: Connecting Worlds. But now he has what at first glance appears to be a very spicy take on Oscar Isaac.

No matter what we say, a huge part of Pokémon’s mass appeal is the cute factor. Sure, we love the games and the anime is nice too, but a cute Pokémon? That’s what dreams are truly made of, baby.

Anyone working in the video game industry must feel as if they have a target painted on their back. 2023 saw at least 6000 people lose their jobs and 2024 is somehow looking much worse. January saw Microsoft sack 9000 people, there’s been a raft of smaller studio closures and staff cuts. Now Sony has joined this miserable party, handing 900 PlayStation workers their notices across the company.

It’s crazy to think that the Nintendo Switch has been around for seven years now, but it’s the truth. Like it or not, we’ll have to start preparing to say goodbye to the beloved console as murmurings of a Nintendo Switch 2 begin circulating.

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is here and is geared up to be one of the biggest games of the year. It already boasts “universal acclaim” on Metacritic, RPG fans are salivating over it, and social media is about to light up with discussion of its story, characters and themes. But, if you haven’t been keeping up with all things Final Fantasy you may feel left out in the cold.

In a world of remasters and remakes, Final Fantasy VII Remake stands apart as one of the best. Fans speculated for years that Square Enix would eventually remake the beloved classic, and after 20 years, their wish came true.

It’s a good day to be a Pokémon. For once the streets are relatively quiet and the chances of being stuffed into a tiny ball and forced into brutal fights are low. On the flipside, Pokémon GO players are not enjoying themselves. Many are firing up the app for their daily routine of training, evolving and battling to find that they can’t log on, with any attempt being met with a “failed to authenticate” error.

Listen! You hear that? The guns have stopped. The shells aren’t falling. There’s not a grenade explosion to be heard! Sadly this isn’t the beginning of a new era of world peace, but rather the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare IIIservers going down. This is, to say the least, something of a big deal in gaming. Each year’s Call of Duty sells like gangbusters and even the infamously lackluster Modern Warfare III campaign hasn’t stopped tens of millions of gamers swarming to its online modes.

As with all video game adaptations, there has been some heated discourse surrounding the Borderlands film. Directed by horror icon, Eli Roth, the film struggled through development before finally being slated for release in 2024. Borderlands is based on the widely popular sci-fi first-person shooter of the same name and is admittedly not the easiest property to adapt. The first game is largely considered the weakest, with only a general overarching plot and no emotional character arc. Borderlands 2 is an entirely different matter, and that has a lot to do with the villainy of charismatic dictator, Handsome Jack.

Last year gamers were spoiled for content on TV and in the cinema; at last, we got some good adaptations of our favorite titles, such as the Last of Us and Super Mario Bros., proving that it is possible to translate a game to the screen. In fact, we’ve had a pretty good run for five years or so with Pokémon and Sonic movies too, but can we safely say the video game to movie curse is broken? Well the next movie to put that to the test would be Borderlands, and let’s just say it’s received a lukewarm reception so far.

Right off the bat, it should be clear that Borderlands is not an easy game to adapt. The video game series takes place in the colorful world of Pandora, where you play one of a few vault hunters looking for a rumored treasure. Unlike Max’s best new show of 2023, The Last of Us, there is not a clear emotional throughline to follow. In the first game, players can choose from several different characters who rarely interact with anyone they’re not shooting at. Borderlands 2 is where the franchise hits its stride as you fight a malicious — if hilarious — dictator.

As Einstein once said, and I’m paraphrasing: Two things are infinite; the universe, and the number of celebrities and fictional characters who’ll appear in Fortnite… and I’m not sure about the universe. With the announcement that Lady Gaga is going to be cameoing in this next season of the extremely popular online game, Taylor Swift fans are taking to social media and coming up with all sorts of elaborate conspiracy theories as to why their pop queen should follow suit.

If you haven’t been paying attention Fortnite is now much more than building towers and blasting humanoid bananas. Epic Games is doing what Meta wishes it could and is busy building a bona fide metaverse, with Fortnite rapidly becoming a platform for varied interactive experiences with the Battle Royale mode at its core. Over the last few months, we’ve seen ‘Rocket Racing’, the Minecraft-like ‘LEGO Fortnite’, and expansions of the Creative Modes in which players can make pretty much whatever they want.

Over the last few years, Fortnite has played host to a swathe of musicians, from rappers like Eminem to pop stars like Ariana Grande and the rockers of Weezer. These artists, as well as the likes of Marshmello and Travis Scott, have appeared either in the game’s soundtrack or as hosts of virtual concerts; in what could easily turn into a Black Mirror episode should theiravatars abruptly decide they want out.

It’s only been half a year since Lorcana released but already this exciting new card game has garnered a great deal of devoted players. Whether you picked it up when it first released or you’ve been considering starting, now might be the best time to truly delve into the Disney-themed game once more, as we’re about to get a whole new set of cards that will completely change how the game is played.

The Nintendo Switchis one of the best-selling gaming consoles of all time, with a diverse line-up of games attracting every kind of gamer to the console.

League of Legends is the most popular MOBA game of all time, and considering the number of people who actively play the game, it’s no wonder that its revenue is usually reported in the billions.

If you didn’t already think Disney was taking over the world, their latest announcement alongside Epic Games should terrify you.

Video games are in on the streaming hysteria as well, with services like Xbox’s Game Pass offering up a very similar formula to that provided by Netflix and its many competitors. The video game subscription service provides users with a broad library of stellar titles, all of which are accessible for a low monthly cost. The service is changing the way games are played and is providing players with far more options for their next gaming sesh.

In the world of Pokémon, as in life, beauty is only skin deep.

When it comes to the Pokémon Trading Card Game, there are many ways to rate the cards. However, even if you don’t know anything about how to play the game itself, the monetary value of the cards and their aesthetic appeal — or lack thereof — are two criteria that most people can grasp.

How would one describe Jynxzi? Simple, he is the popular Twitch streamer who came out of nowhere to dethrone the platform’s biggest streamers with a huge jump in active subscribers that boosted him well ahead of the competition.

Rocksteady Studios’ Arkham-Verse games are one of the most iconic and influential Batman stories of the 21st century, arguably second only to Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight Trilogy. The games are built on the foundations of Batman: The Animated Series and feature many returning voice actors, but even by the second entry had begun to tell a tale quite different to that previously emerged from Gotham City.

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is finally out and, mercifully, it’s not the disaster everyone had feared. It’s not what fans wanted from a sequel to Arkham Knight and is far from a perfect game, but there is some enjoyment to be had battling through Metropolis in the wake of Brainiac’s invasion.

Pokémon Go came out in 2016 and took the world by storm, encouraging generations to leave their homes to step out into a mix of the real world and augmented reality to catch Pokémon. The highly successful mobile game, available to download on iOS and Android smartphones, utilizes the same mechanics as the console games, including catching, training, and battling various Pokémon from all over the globe in real-time.

It’d be so much simpler if Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League was a complete disaster. If this game were a buggy, ugly, mess populated by unlikeable characters and riddled from top to bottom with predatory microtransactions writing a review would be easy. But, frustratingly, there’s just enough of the Rocksteady Studios I knew and loved in this game to make its mediocrity that much more painful.

Labeling it the “end of an era,” on Twitter/X, Imane Anys — better known as Twitch’s most well-known and most-viewed female streamer, Pokimane — is doing… something, apparently?

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is now out. Kinda. Those who pre-ordered the $100 deluxe edition can now play the game, while everyone else has to wait until Feb 2. Then again, given that bugs and glitches saw the game unceremoniously yanked offline hours after its launch and the servers only seem to be sporadically up, few people have been able to put serious time into it.

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is getting a lot of bad rep because of a number of promos gone completely wrong, but the game may still prove to be a fun experience for fans of the DC universe and its most infamous band of misfits, the Suicide Squad.

Nintendo has some iconic characters throughout its roster and one of the oldest, and most beloved, is Princess Peach. She is a regal princess who is unashamed of her femininity and serves as the head of state of Mushroom Kingdom. In short, she’s a total girl boss.

Like whatever the opposite of the MCU is, the Five Nights at Freddy’s franchise just keeps drumming up fan excitement no matter how long it goes on.

Rocksteady Studios’ long anticipated Arkhamverse sequel Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League will be available to play for those who have preordered it on Jan 30, and to the public at large on its official release date of Feb. 2.

There’s no Spider-Man movie like No Way Home, which is probably why it’s taking so long for Spider-Man 4 to get off the ground.

The Dial of Destiny was one of 2023’s biggest flops but, as many soon-to-be-dead Nazis have discovered, just because you knock Indiana Jones down doesn’t mean he’s out of the count. Wolfenstein developer MachineGames has now unveiled Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, which allow players to don that fedora and crack that whip.

We should know by now never to count out Indiana Jones. First The Last Crusade was proven to be a misnomer when it was followed up by 2008’s Kingdom of the Crystal Skull and then even that was replaced as Indy’s final adventure with 2023’s Dial of Destiny.

When J.K. Rowling really doubled down on her transphobic and highly controversial stock of opinions in 2022, it didn’t bode well for the Wizarding World franchise which hadn’t tasted true success since the eighth Harry Potterfilm. But evidently, it completely failed to derail a particular offshoot of the franchise.

2015’s Until Dawn was an early stand-out PlayStation 4 exclusive. Developed by Supermassive Games, it effectively asked players to put their money where their mouth is when it comes to a horror movie. Everyone has yelled at characters not to run upstairs when pursued or split up to search for somebody, but Until Dawn let you make those calls.

Selling a staggering 117 million units over the span of a decade has turned the PlayStation 4 into one of the most successful game consoles in history.

In many ways, James Gunn‘s upcoming rebooted DCU has the benefit of coming at a time when the MCU is in its tired teenage years, as he can take a look at what’s working and what isn’t over at Marvel and do better. Case in point? We’re getting in-canon video games, something the MCU has never delivered in 15 years.

Nintendo is indisputably the king of the handheld console. Starting with the original handheld Game Boy back in 1989, all the way up to the hybrid Nintendo Switch console in 2017, no other gaming company has come close to the type of market share Nintendo enjoys with its handhelds. In fact, the Nintendo DS is the all-time top selling portable console ever, but that wouldn’t have existed if not for its groundbreaking predecessor: the Game Boy Advance (GBA).

The first time I powered on my PlayStation Portable I felt like the future had arrived. I’d enjoyed my trusty GameBoy Advance, but here was a fully-fledged multimedia device in a deeply stylish form factor. I booted up my copy of Wipeout Pure and my jaw hit the floor at the silky smooth 3D graphics and toe-tapping dance soundtrack.

Warning: The following article contains spoilers for Arcane season 2.

In the 1990s Sony was already riding high on the success of the PlayStation, but at the turn of the millennium, they went stratospheric with the all-conquering PlayStation 2. This powerful and elegantly designed console is, as of writing, still the highest-selling games console of all time, with an incredible 155 million units sold over its lifetime.

The Sega Saturn never stood a chance. From day one it was hobbled by a surprise launch annoying gaming retailers and was soon in a one-sided brawl against Sony’s all-conquering PlayStation. The Saturn was comparatively more difficult to develop for, couldn’t push polygons as efficiently, and was soon cratering in sales.

In Nov. 2005 Microsoft hit a home run. The original Xbox had built up a solid reputation as a graphical powerhouse, boasted critically acclaimed titles like Halo: Combat Evolved and provided slick console online functionality with Xbox Live.

A fresh hero is coming to League of Legends this year, fulfilling a longtime promise from devs.
