Although recreational parks and racetracks around the world are slowly beginning to re-open following the shelter-in-place orders resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, it’s still advised for most people to maintain social distancing practices. As such, taking part in the extreme sports that generally take place in the great outdoors are making their way inside to gamer’s PCs and consoles. This includes Motocross racing, but don’t fret. THQ Nordic and Rainbow Studios have you covered with MX vs ATV All Out’s latest DLC pack available right now called the “2020 AMA Pro Motocross Championship DLC....

It’s a safe bet that a lot of gamers are currently trekking through the Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception campaign - at least if our November ’11 Game Rant Game Guide is any indication. However, when all the (Rub ‘al Khali) dust has settled - many Nathan Drake fans will already be looking forward to the next installment in the series. Of course nothing has been announced at this point but, considering the series’ big sales numbers and system-selling power, it’s obvious that we’ll see another Uncharted console title in the future… but when?...

Whether you’re a fan of MyTeam, MyCareer, or The Neighborhood, there is never a shortage of places to hone your basketball skills in NBA 2K20. Many believe that if they are talented at basketball, they will be good at The Neighborhood. They could be right, but there are critical differences between the real sport and the video game. Many of the fundamentals of basketball hold, yet you can be terrible at the sport and be good at the video game....

A recent controversy involving NBA 2K21 frustrated a lot of fans, who were faced with unskippable advertisements in-game despite having to pay $70 for an NBA game thanks to the next-gen price hike. The official Twitter for the NBA 2K games issued an official statement addressing the community backlash today. NBA 2K21 has been seeing a lot of criticism since it released last month, and one of the most common issues people have with the game is that it’s not innovative enough for their tastes despite being $10 more than 2K20....

Throughout their lives, Love Quinn (Victoria Pedretti) and Joe Goldberg (Penn Badgley) have murdered a whopping total of fifteen (15!) people. A few of these characters were undeserving of an untimely end, but in many cases, Joe and/or Love did a service to society by offing their prey. Neither Love nor Joe has a real credo or ethos surrounding their kills, ala Dexter Morgan, but they do occasionally eliminate bad actors from society when they target their victims....

Gamers are longing to score some nitty-gritty details about Mass Effect 4, but the developer hasn’t given too many out for the long gestating sequel. While BioWare held a developer roundtable about the upcoming title, specifics about plot and gameplay were unsurprisingly hard to come by. We did learn one thing, though: the next Mass Effect game is going to be big. Really, really big. In a change of pace from the previous three games, Mass Effect 4 focuses on exploration....

Being a fan of video games can sometimes be an expensive hobby. Gamers interested in multiplayer-focused asymmetrical shooter Evolve needed a heavy wallet to purchase every tidbit of content available, with over $130 of day-one DLC and a gigantic $750 Goliath statue. Meanwhile, Star Citizen players are also no stranger to large price tags, with the limited edition Javelin ship costing $2,500. Any Star Wars fan looking to have a complete video game collection also faces a challenge on their hands....

Square Enix releases a new image for Kingdom Hearts 3 that pays homage to an iconic shot from Final Fantasy 7, which is celebrating its 20th anniversary this week. After Square Enix released Final Fantasy 15 at the end of last year, the studio paved the way for its next two big releases: Final Fantasy 7 Remake and Kingdom Hearts 3. Both games are highly anticipated but neither has a firm release date, which puts them on somewhat equal footing....

Destiny will receive a game update next week, raising the Light Level to 400 and opening up more avenues for players to get higher level loot from numerous sources. With the Heroic Mode of Wrath of the Machine launching next week, Destiny will receive an update to allow players to reach the next planned Light Level cap of 400. The plan for Destiny: Rise of Iron has always been to have a two-tiered Light progression; first was the grind to 385 Light, which would prepare players for the hard mode raid, after which players would start the climb up to a new 400 Light level cap....

Sony struck first, spending a hefty amount of marketing dollars to fly in press from around the world to New York for the unveiling of the PlayStation 4 in late February. Now it’s Microsoft’s turn, and they’ve already confirmed the next-gen Xbox reveal is coming May 21st and it will be streamed online. While rumors and speculation last week focused on the name of the console (Xbox Infinity vs. Xbox Fusion) what matters most to users is how the system will function and how much it will cost....

Nintendo has issued a statement regarding the Switch’s “drifting” Joy-Con issue following the filing of a class action lawsuit by the law offices of Chimicles Schartz Kriner A & Donaldson-Smith. The claim alleges that several users have observed that the joysticks on their Joy-Cons cause movement during gameplay without being touched or fed any input. “CSK&D has filed a class action lawsuit against Nintendo of America, Inc. (“Nintendo”) for claims relating to alleged defects in the Joy-Con controllers that are part of Nintendo Switch gaming consoles,” a section of the law firm’s statement reads....

Since her release on the live servers back in November of 2017, Overwatch players have often debated on what changes should be made to Moira. While the support character may not have received the same kind of overhaul the likes of Mercy and Symmetra have, it can be said that Moira has certainly received her fair share of crazy Overwatch buffs and nerfs. However, with the game’s latest patch for Experimental Mode, Moira has received a buff that many players are calling overkill....

The video game developer Blizzard announces its plans to “aggressively” punish players who abuse Mei’s ice wall exploit in its team-based shooter Overwatch. Since its inception, Overwatch has been subject to some pretty interesting glitches, such as the one that let players skydive as Sombra. Of course, some exploits within the game, like the recent cheat letting players use Mei’s ice wall ability to get outside levels and become invincible, have sullied the experience for a lot of Overwatch players, which has led to Blizzard vowing to punish those abusing the Mei exploit in particular....

The new Mortal Kombat movie is on the way, and while it’s impossible to judge the quality of the movie at the moment, the movie’s trailer is undoubtedly impressive. While it does appear to be taking some liberties with the story and characters in Mortal Kombat, which may or may not work out, it definitely seems to be faithfully translating the actual “Kombat” of the series. Part of the reason the movie is able to translate that combat so well is because of its R-rating....

It’s October and outside of checking out RiffTrax’s offerings, you’ll have to go back to the previous ten seasons to dive deep into a man and his robots making fun of B-movie horrors. So if you’re in the mood for the Satellite of Love this Halloween season, here are some of the best horror movie episodes of Mystery Science Theater 3000 to watch. Just as a warning, the list does skew a little bit more to the Sci-Fi Channel era, but that’s to be expected considering the library they had to play with....

The Gym Rat badge in NBA 2K21 grants a permanent bonus to physical attributes, increasing acceleration, speed, stamina, strength, and vertical by four. One way to obtain this badge is to reach Superstar 2 on MyRep progression, though this undoubtedly requires a significant amount of grinding. Fortunately, there is an alternative and easier way to unlock the Gym Rat badge, and it centers around NBA 2K21’s MyCareer game mode. Before getting into this method, though, it is important to clarify that the Gym Rat badge that it grants is not identical to the one that comes from reaching Superstar 2 in one big way....

With the NBA Playoffs for the 2020 season coming to a close, the Los Angeles Lakers are the league’s current reigning champions. Until the next season starts, fans must invest their time and effort into the virtual world of basketball via NBA 2K21. The MyTeam mode allows people to build dream lineups consisting of players from the NBA’s past and present. Though the mode can be addictive, it still is quite enjoyable to mess around in....

It’s been surprisingly quiet on the Pokemon news front as of late. We’re half way through May already, and not a single new detail pertaining to the upcoming Pokemon Black 2 and White 2 has been released this month, which is surprising for a pair of games that are set to release later this Fall. Trainers eagerly anticipating the next batch of information on the games have gotten their wish… and then some....

Fresh TV dramas from screenwriting geniuses Russell T. Davies, Shane Meadows and Sally Wainwright aired last year, alongside a host of exciting new writers, directors and projects, and the blessed arrival of some long-anticipated adaptations (Good Omens! His Dark Materials! The War Of The Worlds!). Here’s a look back at what UK production companies cooked up for our viewing pleasure in 2019 and beyond… A Christmas Carol (December) When Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight teamed up with actor-producer Tom Hardy, the result was Taboo, the muscly, strange story of James Delaney, a man who returned to Regency England from years travelling in the wild, and put a rocket right up it (almost literally)....
