This NOS4A2 review contains spoilers. NOS4A2 Season 2 Episode 8 One of the strongest relationships in NOS4A2 has been the father-daughter connection between Chris and Vic McQueen. They fought, certainly, and Chris undoubtedly made a lot of mistakes, but there was no mistaking the bond of love that they shared, and the closeness that they once had. Vic, as seen in the opening moments of “Chris McQueen,” always seemed to be her father’s shadow, chasing after him even when he ran away....

With the news that EA is remastering a classic, one can’t help but consider the possibilities. The company has a whole backlog of memorable titles. Everything from the Burnout series to Deadspace has been gold, though the acquisition of BioWare brought with it the Mass Effect property. As a remaster or remake has long been rumored, it seems appropriate that we should get one soon. Right now, gamers are in need of a good, long, compelling plot....

Although The Division is poised to become one of the breakout new IPs of 2016, one writer looks to the future of his time playing the game with a sense of dread. I could tell while playing The Division’s closed beta a few weeks ago that I was going to love the game. While I had initially feared The Division might be too much like Destiny, those fears were put to rest when I got some hands-on time with a game that turned out to be a very different animal....

Ori and The Will of the Wisps released just a few days ago, and so far the game has received high praise from both critics and fans. The first game in the series, Ori and the Blind Forest, came out five years ago and dazzled players with its touching storyline and engaging gameplay. Now it looks like that the sequel is going to do the same thing, only better. Similar to the previous game, there is an abundance of side quests for players to complete while they explore the game’s vast world....

In all my years of collecting Pokemon cards, no single set has ever had as much hype behind it as Shining Fates. It’s really the perfect storm. The popularity of vintage unboxing among streamers and content creators has led to an incredible amount of renewed interest in the hobby. Pokemon cards have become so popular over the last six months that big-box retailers like Target and Walmart are completely unable to keep the shelves stocked and card sharps are charging outrageous premiums for packs — and that’s just for a normal set like Vivid Voltage....

Detour might be the shortest main quest in Outriders. You enter a hub area that you can completely skip, then encounter three groups of bandits before the quest ends. It doesn’t get much faster than this. With that said, this mission does contain some rather tough enemies and chaotic gunfights. You’ll need to kill two Vanguard Captains in this brief mission, which is quite the task on higher World Tiers. If you don’t want to lower your World Tier, consider crafting some better items before proceeding....

Overwatch fans who play on console may be happy to hear that Blizzard has found a solution to controller acceleration issues, with its new Dual-Zone mode rolling out soon.

Now Blizzard appears to have found a solution that’ll change the controller experience quite considerably. For all those that use a controller, Overwatch will now default to a new control scheme called Dual-Zone mode which allows the thumbsticks to move with reduced sensitivity as well as a greater acceleration....

This review contains spoilers for Marvel’s Moon Knight Moon Knight Episode 3 The third episode of Marvel’s Moon Knight, “The Friendly Type”, winds up feeling like a puzzle-solving diversion for the most part, and that’s a bit frustrating considering there are only six of these bad boys in total and we’re halfway through them by the end of it, but we do get to learn some key information about Marc Spector and Layla El-Faouly during the events that play out, so it’s not a total loss....

The Mortal Kombat series of fighting games has been around for more than 25 years, eventually evolving into a full-blown franchise featuring films, comic books, a television series, and even a card game! One of the more recognizable characters is Kitana, the ten-thousand-plus-year-old Princess of Overworld and sister to the evil, possibly psychotic Mileena. Her unique character design makes her an ideal character for cosplayers, especially those who are already fans of the Mortal Kombat series, to test their skills with....

A major selling point back when Mortal Kombat 11 first released, custom variations allow players to select certain abilities for each each character, adjusting their attacks and special moves....

This Mr. Robot review contains spoilers Mr. Robot Season 3 Episode 5 There’s a moment partway through Mr. Robot’s season 3’s thrilling fifth episode that is undeniably cathartic. A crowd of protestors is gathered around Evil Corp’s Midtown headquarters, protesting….well, everything. Protesting Evil Corp’s role in the financial crash, protesting the U.N. Security Council’s upcoming vote to annex the Congo to China (which passes), protesting because it just feels good to yell when unemployment is at 26% and the world is going to shit all around you....

The last time Capcom unveiled new footage for Resident Evil 6 we said if the developer revealed any more gamers would have practically seen the entire game. Thankfully, Capcom has not released a new section of gameplay footage, but have revealed a new cinematic trailer to prepare fans for the game’s release early next month. In the trailer, we see all three of the game’s main characters — Chris, Leon, and Jake — and each of their companions on the brink of hopelessness....

In November of 2011, Bulletstorm developer People Can Fly was rumored to be endeavoring on a Gears of War prequel. Yesterday, Game Informer broke the news that a new Gears of War would be unveiled at E3.
