Voice actor Nolan North is arguably one of the most recognizable voices in all of video gaming. He’s appeared in countless major game releases, most recently replacing Peter Dinklage as the voice of Ghost in Destiny, and will reprise his role as Nathan Drake in Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End in 2016. North is also known for being fairly outspoken, sometimes perhaps revealing a little too much before he’s supposed to....
The election is days away. No one knows if there will be an orderly turnover or the disorderly donut hole of malevolent maneuverings. The nation is divided and civil unrest is in the air. This follows a summer which was prophetically and perennially summed up in “Trouble Every Day,” a song from Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention’s 1966 debut album Freak Out! “Wednesday I watched the riot,” Zappa sings on the song he wrote after seeing the Watts Uprising of 1965....
The New York Excelsior of the Overwatch League have decided to temporarily step back from playing their matches due to a stay-at-home order issued in New York. After the league was suspended amid the spread of COVID-19 a few weeks ago, the NYXL were set to resume their season with matches against the Atlanta Reign and Boston Uprising this weekend. But, an executive order issued by New York governor Andrew Cuomo urging all non-essential workers to stay home has prompted the team to step back from their upcoming matches....
HBO Max wants all eyes on them this holiday season, it seems. Not content to simply be the sole streaming host for the Gal Gadot-led Wonder Woman 1984 upon its release, the streaming service has elected to also add the original Wonder Woman television series starring Lynda Carter to its ranks only days before the new film’s premiere. Apparently looking to become a one-stop hub for Wonder Woman content, HBO Max will have the new film and classic show join 2017’s particularly well-received Wonder Woman movie directed by Patty Jenkins, which had already joined the streamer’s ever-growing collection of DC content....
The announcement of Overwatch 2 has not slowed the progress and changes of the original Overwatch, as it continues to experiment with new modes and bring new heroes to the table. With the upcoming hero Echo ready to satisfy players’ craving for a new way to experience the game, upcoming changes to Overwatch’s Quick Play mode will hopefully answer their craving for a way to get into a match that’s actually fun, or at least not one-sided....

Warning: this Peaky Blinders review contains spoilers. That felt more like the old days. Having not counted himself among the living since France, Tommy’s terminal diagnosis seems only to weigh on him as a deadline, not a shock to the psyche. There was no grieving in ‘The Road to Hell’, only action. Tommy made deals, made threats, and made preparations for a secret strategy, the end-goal of which is known by him and him alone....
Monster Hunter World is filled with gigantic monsters you’ll have to, well, hunt. To do so, you’ll need to do your homework and investigate each creature to know the best way you can pursue, capture or kill them. In this game, your character does not come with a unique ability or skill; instead, you built it up with the equipment you choose to use. This is why you should think carefully about which weapon to use....
Monster Hunter World’s co-op multiplayer is considered a fun way to take on some of the game’s toughest enemies with friends and strangers.

This trolling in Monster Hunter World occurs at the end of a monster battle when players must go and collect their loot from the monster’s corpse through a process known as carving....
This pandemic is like something out of a Roland Emmerich movie. It’s an observation that the director of Independence Day and The Day After Tomorrow has heard a lot in recent years. The way he tells it, even he made a joke about current events feeling like one of his films—except in slow motion. That said, getting through the last few years, and coming out on the other side with a finished film like this week’s sci-fi epic, Moonfall, was its own kind of space odyssey, complete with twists, turns, and even a proverbial moonshot....
No one expected the news this month that Bungie and Activision were splitting up, with Bungie retaining full publishing rights to the Destiny franchise - and that apparently included Activision’s investors, who are now filing more lawsuits against the mega-publisher. Multiple law firms have filed class action lawsuits against Activision stating that Activision made misleading and false statements to investors even though the publisher knew that the split was coming. According to the lawsuits, investors lost money as a result of these alleged misleading and false statements once the announcement of the split went public and Activision’s stocks dipped sharply....

Sometimes having a meal before a hunt can mean the difference between success and failure in the Monster Hunter series. Eating provides useful stat buffs and sometimes helpful abilities to aid players in their hunts. Each game’s food system is slightly different, but thanks to footage Capcom has released to certain creators, Monster Hunter Rise’s food system has been detailed. Because of the pandemic, hands-on experiences with the game have not been possible, so Capcom has sent out gameplay footage instead to creators....
IO Interactive’s Hitman 3 is coming to current and next-gen consoles early next year, including a cloud-based version of Hitman 3 on Switch. The developer promises a “globetrotting adventure” to conclude its World of Assassination trilogy on the Hitman 3 website, with players able to import all locations from the first two entries at no extra cost. Despite this additional focus on carrying over progress from its predecessors, Hitman 3 will have a collection of brand-new maps and scenarios all its own....
PlatinumGames, developer of Bayonetta and Nier: Automata, is teasing an in-development game described as a, “formless, shapeless IP.” At BitSummit 2017 in Kyoto, Japan, PlatinumGames producer Atsushi Inaba made the announcement, but was only willing to share one more detail regarding the project: the new IP will be made by a new director at the company. Currently PlatinumGames has several notable employees who have directed significant projects.
