After a fairly slow and schmaltzy start, WandaVision has cranked up the pacing recently, merging Wanda’s Westview storyline with the military espionage and action thriller plots of the ‘real world’. There have been some big twists already - with the Fantastic Four possibly still to come - but by far the biggest curveball has been the reintroduction of Pietro Maximoff, Wanda’s brother who died in Avengers: Age Of Ultron. On top of that twist, it’s not the Aaron Taylor-Johnson Pietro we’ve previously seen in the MCU, but the Evan Peters version of the character from Fox’s X-Men movies....

When No Man’s Sky was first revealed to gamers four years ago, most assumed that Xbox One fans would be left out in the cold. Only seeing a release on PS4 and PC, the game was seen as Sony using the significant hype around the game to bring more console players to the system. Despite this, rumors of a release on Microsoft’s signature console never ceased and now it seems there was some truth behind them after all....

After taking their No Time to Die title to heart and moving the new 007 adventure from April 2020 to November 2020, and then to April 2021 and now back to the fall of this year, Eon Productions and MGM appear adamant: the 25th James Bond movie will be coming out this year, meeting its September and October release dates.

As you’ll see in the new trailer below, Bond will quickly realize plenty has changed:...

The Oculus Quest v28 software update is on its way with some awesome new features to be added to the Quest Platform. As is usually the case with such updates, the roll-out will be gradual.

Here are the big updates coming with Oculus Quest v28:...

Yesterday’s PC Gaming Show had the the old school shooter revival in full effect.

At a recent event, Game Rant got an early sneak peak at the upcoming horror-exploration-mystery game Mundaun. The game takes place on an alpine mountain peak of the same name, as the protagonist gradually uncovers a sinister evil that has changed the local landscape and its people. One of the main draws of the game is its somber, creepy take on the unique setting of the Alps, but that dark tone is assisted by an art style unlike any other game....

BTS and Coldplay went fully, gloriously sci-fi in the music video for their collaboration, “My Universe.” In the new music video, released at midnight on September 30th, the two bands exist in a futuristic reality where music is forbidden.

Nickelodeon at times seems solely responsible for raising millennials. People talk about these classic characters like they played a huge part in their childhood, which for many of us, they did. Shows like Hey, Arnold! or Rugrats dealt with some very important issues and didn’t shelter kids from experiences the way some TV networks do today. But while their older animations really put this kids TV network on the map, Nickelodeon has still managed to produce some quality shows in recent years, such as The Loud House and Harvey Beaks....

There are a limited number of games available on the Tencent version of the Switch, but there are ways around the system’s security, allowing fans to access foreign eShops and their games....
