A collectible card game based on the popular manga and anime series My Hero Academia is on its way to a tabletop near you this summer. My Hero Academia CCG is being brought to life by Jasco Games, which also created a slew of other licensed card games based on titles such as Soul Calibur, Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter, and Cowboy Bebop. The new collectible card game requires players to build their own unique and powerful decks and battle it out amongst each other using these decks....

The battle between French publishing giant Nacon and The Sinking City developer Frogwares is heating up with some very public accusations being thrown online. To get you caught up, Frogwares initially accused Nacon of withholding contracted funds for the production of The Sinking City, a Lovecraftian action-adventure game where you play as a private investigator looking into a supernatural flood that hit an isolated Massachusetts town. Frogwares terminated their contract with Nacon, which resulted in The Sinking City being delisted from Steam, but Nacon then took Frogwares to court and a Paris Court of Appeal ruled that until the case can be ruled on the original contract must stand....

For many fans of the Uncharted game series, Nathan Fillion is synonymous with fan-favorite adventurer, Nathan Drake - resulting in a horde of dedicated followers pushing for Fillion to step into the character’s shoes in Neil Burger’s movie adaptation. Following the departure of David O. Russell (and subsequently actor Mark Wahlberg), impassioned fans once again hit their favorite video game and movie forums to reiterate their interest in seeing Fillion in the Uncharted role....

NBA 2K players recently started sharing videos and screenshots of seemingly unskippable ads that were running before the start of games. While the presence of unskippable ads in a full-price game is annoying enough, the frustration caused by these ads was only amplified by the fact that this isn’t the first time that the NBA 2K team has tried to pull this trick off. Actually, you might remember that last year’s NBA 2K game tried to push in-game ads and was met with equal scorn from annoyed fans....

The SSX games have always managed to fuse racing and stunt-based gameplay into a seamless, exhilarating whole. There is every indication that the upcoming reboot, itself simply titled SSX, will carry on that tradition by celebrating the series’ past while adding a wealth of new features. Neatly encapsulating the idea, EA Sports has released two new trailers for SSX. The first showcases Mac Fraser’s signature Uber, while the second reveals one of SSX’s brand new gameplay elements, GeoTags....

While plenty of gamers might have been initially skeptical, the Tomb Raider reboot is quickly becoming one of 2012’s most anticipated games. Lara Croft is without a doubt one of video games’ most recognizable (and sexy) icons but, over the course of numerous installments, players have never exactly been privy to what makes the treasure-seeking adventurer tick. That is expected to change with the upcoming reboot from Crystal Dynamics - at least if recent comments from Karl Stewart, Crystal Dynamics’ global brand manager, are to be believed....

Activision now has a retail option for those interested in Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 but only in the competitive multiplayer modes and not the cooperative Zombies mode. Today the publisher announced a PC-exclusive bundle named the Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 Battle Edition, available solely through Blizzard’s digital Battle.net storefront. The Battle Edition includes both the Multiplayer and Blackout battle royale modes, but drops the Zombies mode, and has a lower price of $29....

Capcom is starting to heavily market Monster Hunter Rise as we approach its March 26 release date, starting with two different commercials for the Japanese market. The two clips are brief – one running for 30 seconds, the other 15 – but offer a glimpse at more footage of Monster Hunter Rise in action. The longer commercial starts out with a panoramic view of a hunter posing on top of building, before cutting away to a bit of combat footage....

I’ve always liked Wailmer. Wailord is alright, I suppose. I had a monstrous one on my team back when I first played Pokemon Ruby in 2003 - writing that sentence caused me to crumble into dust as if I’d been Thanos-snapped. But yeah, Wailmer is the real GOAT of Pokemon whales. It’s an endlessly smiling ball of blubbery joy, and I love it dearly. The most recent New Pokemon Snap trailer gave us an in-depth look at loads of different aspects of the upcoming Pokemon photography game....

Players looking to add a little variety to their Summer gaming diet should be well served by this week’s new releases, which include an almost strangely diverse slate of titles. Patriotic heroes, ruthless cartel members, and dancing Smurfs all show up in games this week – and that’s just for starters. Captain America: Super Soldier leads the charge at retail, joined by Call of Juarez: The Cartel, and – yes, it’s true – The Smurfs: Dance Party, which will be in direct competition with the latest edition of the mega poplar Just Dance series, Summer Party....

According to Riot’s Terms of Service, streamers are not allowed to play League of Legends exclusively for a paying audience. Blizzard, Valve, and many other publishers have similar rules in their own TOS. This regulation has been discovered in light of Twitch’s new “Sub-Only” stream feature and is causing some confusion for streamers. The TOS issue received a lot of attention on Reddit and Twitter yesterday when League streamer Gross Gore tweeted to Riot asking for clarification about the rule....

The system includes four games which are the original Legend of Zelda, Zelda 2: The Adventure of Link, the GameBoy version of The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening, and the classic Game and Watch game Vermin, although this version of the game has Link as the playable character....

After long days exploring the wild planets in No Man’s Sky, there’s nothing quite like returning to a home base. Fans have been building incredible projects in No Man’s Sky since the function was introduced a few years ago. Methods of base-building have come a long way with some of the more complicated processes being streamlined and made easier. That being said, building a base in No Man’s Sky still involves a lot of moving parts and menu navigation....

On February 11, Coby “Dizzy” Meadows, 18, signed to the NRG esports team but was relatively unknown before, but right after, Dizzy broke the Solo kills record and won the first official tournament of Apex Legends alongside high profile Twitch streamer Ninja and fellow NRG player KingRichard. Although Dizzy seems like the prodigal son, it’s worth mentioning his time as a competitive player goes back to 2016. Dizzy first began as a rifler for CS:GO, playing from 2016 to 2017 on various teams such as Mythic, Enigma6 Group, Selfessless Gaming, and the Foundation....

Finding Nvidia’s RTX 30-series GPUs in stock won’t get easier any time soon, as Chief Financial Officer Collette Kress announced supply will “remain tight” until at least the end of Q1 2021. Going by a typical corporate calendar, that would land us right at the start of April. However, Nvidia doesn’t play by the rules with its scheduling, which means its fiscal quarter doesn’t end until the beginning of May. But no matter how you cut it, we’ve still got a few months of non-existent RTX 30 stock to deal with before availability ramps up....

We’re pretty sure that Only Fans wasn’t necessarily intended to become the sex worker site, but there’s no denying that’s basically what has happened. In case you haven’t heard of the platform, Only Fans is a subscription-based website where you pay to gain access to someone’s personal repository of images, videos, and whatever else they feel can warrant the price of admission. It’s a lot like paying to gain access to someone’s Instagram, only since it’s paywalled, there’s no reason to keep things PG-13....
