When Blizzard revealed Overwatch 2 back in 2019, fans were excited at the tease of something new. There’s been little information detailed about the game since, and it still doesn’t have an official release date, but would-be Overwatch 2 players may now have an idea of how much they’ll have to pay for the experience.

With Monster Hunter World having already hit Capcom’s sales targets for the company’s current fiscal year, there’s no doubt that the action role-playing game can be considered a bona fide success, especially since fans and critics alike continue to sing the title’s praises well after launch. In addition to its gorgeous landscapes and fantastic gameplay, another reason as to why MHW is acknowledged as such a blast is due to Capcom keeping fans supplied with a plethora of fun loot – particularly its franchise crossover armor sets such as the gear inspired by Horizon: Zero Dawn....

The adorable ad is only 15-second long, but gives us another look at some of the Pokemon we’ll encounter during our time in the Lental region. The commercial features Fuwa-chan – a popular YouTuber – and actor Kokoro Terada. The official Pokemon YouTube channel region-locks the latest advert, but NintendoEverything was able to upload a version for folks around the world to view....

I firmly believe that, more often than not, Legendary Pokemon are extremely boring. They’re supposed to be these omnipotent mythological creatures who can detonate the world with some kind of cosmically charged Hyper Beam, and yet ten-year-olds can beat them up with a team of benchwarmers and trap them in a tiny spherical prison that level 2 Zubat are capable of breaking out of. Haha. I mean, not all Legendaries are bad....

While Epic Games may have moved on from the Gears of War franchise, the series has not been put to bed. Rather, the chainsaw-wielding, curb-stomping franchise will continue to live on at Microsoft, only with a new developer at the helm in Black Tusk Studios. However, although Black Tusk could have easily “phoned this one in” and copied most or all of Epic’s work, they are apparently trying to carve their own path through the Gears of War franchise....

There is an air of chronic negativity that seeps in whenever anyone calls an athlete “overrated.” When people hear, “overrated” about someone they love, they often hear the word “bad.” Fans push back swiftly and the person making the allegation subconsciously pushes back harder just to maintain their point. The conversations are generally unproductive, but that does not mean they are unworthy of taking place. NHL 21 is another opportunity for players to debate exactly how fair their favorite athletes have been treated....

Capcom releases new footage of Ultra Street Fighter 2: The Final Challengers in a lengthy video that shows off the game’s first-person mode and other features.

Those who hoped No Time to Die’s U.S. opening would sail past the $100 million milestone—a feat which hasn’t been achieved since Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker in 2019—might be sorely disappointed this morning. After more than two years of built-up anticipation and COVID-related delays, Daniel Craig’s final James Bond movie debuted in North America to a decent, if slightly muted, $56 million over three days. The gross was in line with MGM’s estimates—if on the lower side of the industry’s, which put the floor at $55 million—and the fifth highest domestic opening of 2021 thus far....

Street Fighter X Tekken, the latest fighting game crossover from Capcom and Namco Bandai, may very well be the best fighting game that launches this year. As if the wondrous gameplay and already expansive roster weren’t enough, Capcom also announced that inFamous protagonist, Cole McGrath, would be joining the fray exclusively on PS3 and PS Vita. The promise of platform exclusive characters got Xbox 360 faithfuls excited for an exclusive character of their own....

There are many factors that have the power to sink a new game console. However, few of them are as powerful as the nasty cycle of few games on a platform leading to a significant drop in console sales — which, again, leads to a lack of software. The Ouya came to be through Kickstarter funding, and so the folks behind it are using the powerhouse crowdfunding website to stave off the aforementioned cycle of doom by giving some of their previously earned crowdfunded cash to developers trying to get their games out....

With the game set to release in just over a week, there shouldn’t be much mystery surrounding Modern Warfare 3, yet there still is.

In an effort to take some of that mystery away, a series of top-down images have been released that detail the ins and outs of Modern Warfare 3’s multiplayer maps....
