Becoming Marvel’s strongest villain isn’t easy. There are tons of scary enemies in the comic book world that strike fear everywhere. Let’s end the debate. These are the Marvel villains who rise above the others.

Sega’s classic arcade title Golden Axe will be heading to the small screen in the shape of an animated television series for Comedy Central. Star Trek: Lower Decks Mike McMahan and American Dad’s Joe Chandler are creating the series so you can assume that it will probably focus more on zingy one liners rather than smashing seven bells out of Death Adder.

The penultimate episode of Shōgun is a big one, in the way only great TV can build to.It binds together everything the past eight hours of the show has built, then punctures the plotlines like daisy chains. And the result is explosive, even before the final moments blow up everything we understand about where this story might be headed. Episode 9, “Crimson Sky,” brings the whole conflict to a fiery head — so it’s no wonder it prominently features the plotline the show’s creators, by their own admission, struggled with the most.

Fire is out of control in Helldivers 2, but thankfully Arrowhead knows this and is working on a fix.

Gamescom may be the most significant gaming convention and trade show in Europe (and probably the world following the death of E3), but Nintendo is a bit hit-and-miss with their attendance. They skipped 2022, but they were there in 2023, and, in fact, it was rumored they may have shown the Switch 2 for the first time behind closed doors while there. Unfortunately, it seems we won’t be getting a repeat in 2024, as Nintendo has confirmed they’ll be skipping the show in a statement provided to Eurogamer…

Video games are all about dying. Be it Pac-Man failing to escape a ghost and bursting into pixelated oblivion, Mario melting himself by accidentally leaping into a pool of lava, or being one of the 99 that fails to win in a battle royale, gamers worldwide have died a thousand deaths. Thankfully, the grim reaper is a mere inconvenience in these digital realms, another obstacle you must traverse in order to do a Cody Rhodes and ‘finish the story’. Far fewer games explore the topic of Death in real life, the one with a capital ‘D’ that we all try really hard not to think about and desperately hope doesn’t apply to us or our loved ones. Tales of Kenzera: ZAU, however, well, that takes a long and hard look at death. Indeed, death, sorrow, and loss, is the very reason for this metroidvania’s existence.

As the first game from Surgent Studios, looks to not only create a new universe for future art to take place in, but also serve as a love letter to Metroidvanias, African culture, and the very act of grieving for deceased loved ones. It's a gorgeous, fully realized world steeped in double meanings, vivid colors, and incredible music. For anyone who has lost a parent, it also hits incredibly close to home.

Blizzard has released a video containing amazing Plunderstorm statistics (so far)! If you don't have time to watch the video, here's a summary of the stats:

Peach Momoko's Ultimate X-Men is starting to feel more and more like an X-Men comic with April 10's Ultimate X-Men #2, which starts to add in some recognizable mutant elements to the alt-reality title.

Invincible’s reputation for hyper-violence is well earned. The Prime Video show’s season 1 massacre of the Guardians at the hands of Nolan/Omni-Man (J.K. Simmons) is harrowing, and it sets the tone for the show’s commitment to realistic superpowered gore and destruction. And few scenes in television history are as gnarly or horrifying as the destruction of a train and everyone on board in the first season’s finale.

As Diablo 4’s first PTR week comes to an end, players almost unanimously agree — next Season’s itemization overhaul is a big win!

Diablo 4 Season 4 Elixir Revamp Recruiting Diablo 4 Rogue Writers In the Season 4 PTR, Rare items only dropped with 2 random Affixes, while Legendary items always dropped with 3 Affixes. If this continues to be the case during Season 4, then Legendary items will always have greater potential over Rares.

Earlier this week, we saw what was essentially the death of two beloved consoles, as Nintendo finally shut down the online services for both the Nintendo 3DS and Wii U, leaving several games either obsolete or without online multiplayer. Games such as the first Splatoon, Mario Maker, Mario Kart, and plenty more were left practically unplayable, or were severely impacted by the shutdown, but it turns out there may be a glimmer of hope for those wanting to jump into a game.

The first major decision players have to make in is whether to redirect power to the town of Edgewater or the Deserters at the Botanical Lab.

Mid-March, Blizzard revealed 12 new Hero Talent Trees in a sneak peek at the new system coming with the The War Within expansion. Our Arms & Fury guide writer, Archimtiros, offers an early review of the Slayer Hero Talents that focuses on two abilities, driven by procs that emphasize both Execute and Bladestorm for single and multitarget damage. While the addition of fantastic quality of life features make Slayer an overall incredibly exciting for Arms & Fury Warriors, there still remains some questions of what single target talent builds focused on Bladestorm may look like in The War Within.

With Dragonflight Season 4 looming, now is a good time to pursue appearances that will be unobtainable for a while after Season 3 ends. With the launch of Dragonflight Mythic+ Season 3, Blizzard added three unique weapon appearances to former Legion dungeons. Chief among them is Lord Ravencrest's own weapon, Ravencrest's Wrath. While they won't be going away forever, likely returning when these dungeons return to the Mythic+ rotation, this could take years to happen. As they are unavailable on any other difficulty, and have not been added to the regular loot tables, these will be sunset when Season 3 ends.

It's been nearly a week since the last Helldivers 2 balance patch, and players are still voicing their displeasure at the changes made to fire damage.

Dragon's Dogma 2 has a hot new trend, and it involves tackling a Pawn off a cliff to avoid fall damage.

Kingdom Death: Monster, among the highest-earning crowdfunded board games of all time, is a rare beast in part because of its price point, which currently stands at $420. It’s also because of production issues, meaning that the game has been out of print for long periods of time ever since its first run in 2015. But if you get the chance to actually play it, as I have, you’ll find the mechanics are quite literally to die for. The base game features complex monsters and elaborate turn-based battles, a potent crafting system, and a fascinating take on colony simulation. Beloved characters will die horribly and often, potentially putting an end to your campaign after scores of hours. Add to that mix dozens of the industry’s most gorgeous multi-part plastic miniatures and you can see why I once called it “the Everest of board games.”

The infamous Guardians of the Galaxy have just received a revamp on their skills in . These cards boast tremendous power when used in succession with each other and other synergies. One could even potentially use their deck well in the meta game as long as their predicting skills are on point. Try your luck out with the Guardians of the Galaxy cards and put their strength to the test.

In Season 4 of Diablo 4, players will gain access to the Pit of Artificers, a new Endgame mechanic which pits players against the clock while fighting hordes of monsters. Slay enough in time, and you'll gain access to the final boss at the end — a mechanic incredibly similar in form to Diablo 3's Greater Rifts. This content shares a feature that punishes player deaths as well, however this penalty seems to be particularly unforgiving in Diablo 4.

The Empire doesn't want anyone to know about this one simple trick. Imperial scientists hate it. But the question remains: can a lightsaber theoretically deflect the planet-killing superlaser fired from the Death Star?

In an effort to strengthen its case in a heated lawsuit over the safety of its Autopilot system, Tesla is looking to Apple for help. The case, which stems from a fatal crash involving a Tesla Model X in 2018, resulted in a legal battle over the circumstances of the accident.

Helldivers 2's friendly fire "will never change," meaning that blasts from fellow grunts and enemy bots will kill you just the same for as long as the galaxy is undemocratized, but an upcoming armor set should make accidental deaths much less common with a whopping 90% explosive damage resistance perk.

In Watcher of Realms, Jorge the Rotten Mercenary fights for answers, his presence both a blessing and a curse.

One of the best parts of Classic Hardcore was absolutely the hilarious death clips that popped up. Entire channels were able to skyrocket themselves with death compilations alone. One of the most iconic of these was Guzu's hole in one in Sunken Temple at level 52. A perfect storm permanently killing his character by threading the needle into the infamous pit of death. It looks like the Season of Discovery team were watching the same clips we were, and a new NPC, the Unfortunate Adventurer has shown up in our datamining. Looks fairly familiar, doesn't he? While we don't know for sure where this NPC will pop up, I'd say it's a fairly safe bet to assume you can find him in the Sunken Temple raid.
