About a month ago, Capcom and Square Enix teamed up for a Final Fantasy 14 Online crossover update which added the likes of Monster Hunter World’s “King of the Skies,” Rathalos to the ever-growing MMORPG’s realm. Now, it looks as if the shoe is on the other foot, as MHW will be adding a well-known FF14 monster to the action-RPG, in addition to a set of fresh armor inspired by the Square Enix title....
Although there are several Keeper battles in Monster Sanctuary that serve as boss battles, the true test of your abilities as a Keeper come in the form of Champion battles. These monsters are much more powerful than your standard monsters, with increased health and mana stats as well as the ability to act multiple times in a single turn. Because of the difficulty of these battles, you may have to return to them later in the game once you have acquired a few more monsters in an effort to defeat them....
Since Moon Knight was created by Doug Moench and Don Perlin in 1975’s Werewolf by Night #32, the Fist of Khonshu has been a fixture of the Marvel Universe. Through it all, Marc Spector has swapped identities, costumes, and supporting casts. But the one motif that has stayed constant with Moon Knight is the very thing that sets him apart from Batman and other caped avengers: he suffers from severe mental health issues but still fights for justice and it has made the character unique in Marvel’s pantheon....
Raiden is one of the most popular characters in the Mortal Kombat franchise, having gone through constant evolution throughout each installment. NetherRealm Studios’ takeover of the franchise has further fleshed out the Thunder God’s character and made him a central figure in a wide-reaching storyline. It’s not all heroics and victory, however. Raiden’s past is littered with some truly head-scratching moments of complete buffoonery. While it’s great to note Raiden’s accomplishments, scrutiny should also be paid to the stupidest things he’s ever done....
Mortal Kombat 2 solidified the franchise’s legacy as a successful and one that could hold its own against the likes of Street Fighter. When it hit arcades in 1993, the game became a smash hit, with the controversy surrounding its violent gameplay, making it even more sought after. This title seemed to improve upon the last with new gameplay features, characters, and brutal death animations. It became a quintessential fighting game, and it catapulted the series to new heights....

Muppets Now continues to roll on with their third episode. In what’s supposed to be a modernized update of a beloved variety show is starting to fail when it comes to actual variety. The whole setup for Muppets Now hasn’t been perfect, but it’s been fairly sound. Four segments in the form of online shows are framed together thanks to quick bits of Scooter tossing them up online with his “Rainbow Connector....
In our latest interview with a music industry professional we delve behind the scenes and focus on someone who’s job is to make other people sound better. And he’s great at his job. Sound engineer James Orchard-Lisle has worked with Eurythmics’ Dave Stewart, Penguin Cafe, Sundog and other top musicians and is therefore an ideal subject for our “music sounds better with…” series, in association with Cambridge Audio. He shares the tracks he most enjoys listening to and reveals exactly why he’d invite One Direction to lunch....
Virtual tabletop platform Mythic Table promises to be “the virtual tabletop of the future,” epitomising what playing tabletop games online can and should be. It’s been three months since Mythic Table’s early release, and already the platform is garnering some considerable support from the tabletop gaming community. The stats show that Mythic Table boasts 11,000 user accounts so far, with around 345 gamers logging in every day. Thus far, Mythic Table has been a passion project built part-time by volunteers dedicating their extra time to the cause....
Neon Abyss is another blast of a game developed by Veewo Games and published by Team 17, a studio that only seems to publish gems such as the Overcooked series or the recent indie-darling Narita Boy. That said, if you’ve played other roguelikes such Binding of Isaac, Dead Cells, or Hades, you’ll pick up on Neon Abyss quite quickly. Though, with the extensive number of guns, it actually has more in common with Enter the Gungeon....
Marvel’s The Defenders marks the end of phase one for the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Netflix shows. In this television equivalent to The Avengers, all of the characters from Marvel’s Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage and Iron Fist come to a head in what was promised to be a team up of epic proportions. And today… we rank them. This list is of my own opinions. I have based this list on a very dynamic set of criteria including, but not limited to: how badass the character is, how powerful they are, how compelling the character is, how they would match up against one another, and how useful they were in driving the story forward....
Batman: Arkham Knight has a lot of expectations surrounding it from fans of the prior Arkham games, and it’s coming out during a time period typically dominated by E3 excitement over new, upcoming titles. Even so, Rocksteady Studios has been doing a good job of maintaining a high level of hype over the game, regularly releasing updates and trailers to tantalize gamers. Today is no exception, as Rocksteady Studios has released the first real look into what gamers who’ve pre-ordered the game can expect from the Harley Quinn DLC content....
The souls-like action RPG Mortal Shell has been revealed by publisher Playstack and developer Cold Symmetry. Fans of the souls-like genre have been anticipating a lot of different titles, specifically Elden Ring for a while now, but Mortal Shell is likely to fall in line with the rest. Some of the features announced as part of the Mortal Shell gameplay stem directly from other souls-like games, but some are inherently unique to Mortal Shell....
Gamescom is bringing players exciting news on some of the most hyped games that will be coming out in the future, and Dragon Age 4 is no exception. While there was no new trailer like other games like Surgeon Simulator 2 may have showcased, the virtual gaming convention showed off never before seen concept art, giving fans a glimpse of what they can expect to see when the game is released....
There’s no denying just how successful Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft has been, that much every gamer can be assured. At last word, the free-to-play digital card game had amassed over 20 million players, and it’s likely that that number has only grown in the months following that initial announcement. Even over a year after launch, the game’s developer Blizzard has continued to support the title with a number of new add-ons that encourage continued play....
Cats are one of humanity’s oldest companions, and while they’ve been featured in a number of movies, television series, and books, it isn’t often that they make their way into video games. That seems to be changing with games like Stray coming out, especially now that Etched Memories, a game that puts players in the role of a cat named Biscuit, is also making its debut. A horror game about a cat named Biscuit is, of course, an odd elevator pitch....
Nintendo has released clips featuring gameplay from its upcoming remastered versions of Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Sunshine. Mario fans had been eagerly awaiting an announcement from Nintendo all year long regarding how exactly it planned on celebrating the plumber’s 35th anniversary. While not confirmed by Nintendo, it seems as if its wealth of announcements were delayed due to the pandemic. Which is why we were hit with all of them at once last week during a surprise Direct....
The Marvel’s Avengers PC beta went live last weekend. As you’d expect, dataminers have busied themselves with uncovering the title’s secrets, including future content coming to the game. One interesting tidbit discovered by these dataminers (via Eurogamer) is a list of unlockable playable characters within the game’s code. On top of the game’s central cast of Avengers — Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, Hulk, Black Widow, and Ms. Marvel — there are quite a few other additions that fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe will be excited about....
A new mod has done the unthinkable: added Shrek as a playable character to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Shrek. Ever since he was introduced in the 2001 classic feature film of the same name, he’s been the living embodiment of just how bizarre and weird the internet can be. Perhaps that’s because Shrek himself is an odd and bizarre hero, or maybe it’s because people are weird. Or maybe it’s a bit of both....
Lugia was one of the only Legendary Pokemon featured in an official New Pokemon Snap trailer, so it’s no wonder that lots of dedicated fans of the series are curious about where it’s located. The thing is, finding Lugia in New Pokemon Snap isn’t very easy - in fact, there are several steps you need to follow that the game gives you virtually no hints about. We were initially pretty stumped as to where the illustrious Legendary Pokemon from Whirl Islands was hiding, which is why we decided to put together this comprehensive New Pokemon Snap Lugia location guide....
