This article contains some historical MCU spoilers What happened to Corey Stoll’s villainous Darren Cross after Scott Lang (Paul Rudd) penetrated his Yellowjacket suit and sabotaged it to shrink uncontrollably in the climax of Marvel’s first Ant-Man film? Well, he probably didn’t die, as the new Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania trailer reveals. I’m using the word “probably” here because we’re now in the thick of the Multiverse Saga, so as far as we know, the Darren Cross in this trailer could be some kind of variant pain in the butt!...

Mass Effect Legendary Edition’s latest patch is a sizable 4.3GB that brings with it a slew of bug fixes and quality of life additions such as new subtitle settings. However, there’s still no FOV slider. Mods will have to do for now. With this new update, English spoken dialogue and the language of subtitles can be selected separately. To explain how this works, imagine Garrus speaking in his sultry Turian voice in English while the subtitles read German....

September marks the start of the traditional TV season. For many networks and cable channels, however, this will be an usual season with the coronavirus pandemic halting production leaving behind paltry fall lineups. Over on Netflix, however, things continue to operate at high capacity. Netflix is rolling out quite a few original series and movies for its new releases in September 2020. The Hillary Swank-starring space drama Away premieres on September 4....

The latest update for the PS5 is finally out, with one key function that has most players who formerly own PS4s pretty impressed. Reports have indicated that the PS5 has now added a rumble option into the PS5 DualSense controllers when playing on backwards compatible PS4 games. PS5 players are reporting that the DualSense’s vibration can now be felt in PS4 titles. It seems like the update has made the PS5 controllers feel much closer to the DualShock 4 rumbles that players get when they play most games from the previous-gen console....

The history of games starring Superman hasn’t quite been as illustrious as some of his other DC counterparts, like Batman’s highly rated Arkham series. In fact, some of the most impressive outings in recent games have been ones that feature the Man of Steel as a villain instead of giving him the starring role in a game. Now that Warner Bros. Interactive has gotten into a much better grove with the superhero gaming genre, thanks in no small part to the excellent work coming out of Rocksteady Studio, it’s time for Superman to take the spotlight again....

NHL 18 makes all kinds of improvements to the tried-and-tested gameplay that hockey fans have come to expect. However, it also brings something wholly new to the table — a hectic, arcadey mode called Threes that takes inspiration from the beloved NHL ‘94. Threes has its roots in real-world hockey; for the last couple of seasons, three-on-three play has been the norm for overtime in non-playoff games. In NHL 18, it’s an excuse to drop some of the more serious aspects of gameplay and presentation and deliver all-out action....

Academy Award-winner Nicolas Cage will host a six-episode Netflix docuseries titled History of Swear Words. As the title indicates, the series will examine the origins and cultural impact of a different curse word in each episode. Produced by Funny or Die and Industrial Media’s B17 Entertainment, History of Swear Words will follow Cage as he discusses six different curse words with celebrities and etymology experts in 20-minute episodes. Bellamie Blackstone will serve as showrunner and executive producer alongside Mike Farah, Joe Farrell, and Beth Belew of Funny or Die, as well as B17’s Brien Meagher and Rhett Bachner....

Nintendo’s Cyber Deals event is now live, offering up to 50% off the year’s most popular titles. You can save on games such as Hades, Skyrim, and Dark Souls up until December 2 when the savings come to an end. Black Friday is the perfect time to stock up on video games, because – let’s face it – gaming can become an expensive hobby. Between buying the consoles, building a library of games, and signing up for online services, it’s easy to blow your budget in a single month with a stacked release lineup....

Nintendo’s console-handheld hybrid, the Nintendo Switch, has had a steady stream of success since its release in 2017. The ability to take Mario, Zelda, and other Nintendo icons everywhere certainly has mass appeal to a wide audience and that train doesn’t seem to have any inclination of slowing down. In fact, the Switch has just beaten out a record set by Nintendo’s currently best selling home console, the Wii. The Switch was the best selling console in August 2020, as it has been for quite a few months now, and even more impressive is the Switch setting the record for the highest August dollar sales for a game console in the US....

Though Square Enix has an understandably packed slate of titles to show during E3 2012, there is one omission that is sure to have SE fans pretty disappointed. Expected attendees for the event like Sleeping Dogs (Square Enix’s recent acquisition from Activision) and Tomb Raider were confirmed, but unfortunately the publisher/developer’s next entry in the Final Fantasy franchise, Final Fantasy Versus XIII, is not. Initially revealed way back in 2006, along with two other Final Fantasy 13-related titles, Versus has been a perennial no show at a ton of events including E3 and TGS....

A popular No Man’s Sky subreddit is shut down by its moderators after becoming a “hate filled wastehole” as players continue to voice their frustrations with the game. Although it may have been one of the most anticipated games of the year, Hello Games’ space exploration title No Man’s Sky has garnered plenty of criticism from its players. The game has drawn ire for its various launch issues, with the PC version of the game constantly crashing and lagging, while some have also expressed frustration over No Man’s Sky’s lack of online features....

After what many referred to as a “shambles” of a launch for the flagship RTX 3080, PC gamers have been hoping that Nvidia will do a better job with the upcoming launch of its more mainstream RTX 3070 graphics card. The latest reports from retailers in the Asia Pacific region suggests that supplies will indeed be stronger, if not as sufficient as many had hoped. The information comes from Japanese site PC Watch, who spoke to a number of retailers in the technology hub area of Akihabara in Tokyo....

At The Game Awards 2018, Obsidian Entertainment made waves by announcing a new, single-player RPG called The Outer Worlds. As the developer behind Fallout: New Vegas, which many regard as one of, if not the, best Fallout game in series’ history, it was always going to be of interest to Fallout fans. However, one feature in particular really has Fallout fans feeling excited. The Outer Worlds feature that really has Fallout fans talking is its dialogue system....

Octavia is already one of the best Warframes you can get. She has it all: massive team buffs to damage and armor, and teamwide invisibility, not to mention crowd control and scaling damage. But the best thing about Octavia is easily her Mandachord, which lets you bring your own custom soundtrack on every mission. And now Octavia is getting even better. Octavia Prime has arrived in Warframe today as the best version of herself, complete with a new look, a new Mandachord instrument pack, and even a brand new Shawzin....

Rise of Iron’s game director says Bungie is “absolutely considering” bringing back older raids like Vault of Glass and Crota’s End to keep players happy in Year 3. Destiny: Rise of Iron will debut with a new raid called Wrath of the Machine. Bungie has promised that it is an action-packed raid that will keep players moving (and shooting) their way out of trouble. Reiterated in the new launch trailer for Destiny’s fall expansion, there is a lot of new content coming in Rise of Iron, which also officially kicks off Destiny’s Year 3....

CD Projekt Red has come out and said that the main campaign length of Cyberpunk 2077 is going to be a little shorter than The Witcher 3. That’s mostly due to a whole bunch of players never actually finishing Witcher 3, although we hasten to point out that might be due to the ludicrous amount of side quests rather than the main campaign being particularly long. It looks like there might be a similar “problem” in Cyberpunk 2077....

It’s no secret that Marvel’s Avengers has had a rough launch. Between game-breaking bugs, underdeveloped systems, and a lack of end game content, it’s evident that most players have bounced off and are waiting for things to get smoothed out. While many of the most devastating bugs have been worked out (over 1000 in the last major patch) the game still hasn’t managed to sort out its biggest problem: pinnacle activities....

This article contains spoilers for the Only Murders in the Building season 2 finale. After 10 more episodes, gallons of Gut Milk, many obscenities sent between Oliver (Martin Short) and Mrs. Gambolini, and wholly unique title sequences, Only Murders in the Building has discovered its true suspect for a second time. Much like in the first season, there were a lot of moving parts, and it takes some true sleuthing to figure out the answer to the mystery....

Overwatch eSports program Overwatch League makes a major mistake during its Mother’s Day broadcast. The official stream of the Sunday, May 12 games featured an image of notorious real-life serial killers sent in by a viewer. As part of the Overwatch Mother’s Day celebration, the official Overwatch League stream displayed tweets sent in from users celebrating their mothers. One tweet displayed came from a user with the handle “bcafcjames” who said that their mom “couldn’t be with us right now but I know she’d be happy knowing the [San Francisco Overwatch League team] Shock are doing so good!...

Today marked yet another new Halloween skin reveal, and this one is for the game’s newest playable hero, Hammond, aka Wrecking Ball.
