Summary Thunderbolts is one of the best movies fromMarvelCinematic Universe’s Phase Five, being very compelling in telling its story of an unlikely group of broken characters who come together and form a bond. It’s distinct in the superhero genre with its unique depiction of mental health, but also pretty funny at times. It’s also the first MCU movie in a very long time to have some heavy color grading with saturated colors that give it a very bold look....

FewTVcharacters are as synonymous with a single piece of clothing asYellowjackets’Melissa is to her pink baseball cap. It is such a consistent part of her attaire that the character is affectionately known as Melissa Hat in absence of a given surname, andher canon ship with Shauna is known as Shaunahat. Her not-quite-canon ship with Gen is sans hat, commonly known as Genlissa. However, in a recent interview, Melissa’s teen timeline actor Jenna Burgess has revealed her own headcanon for the hat, which she admits is “vile”....

Quick Links While playingMage Arena, you can get into various PvP matches against your friends or random players, and the victory is decided after one team defeats all the players from the other team and captures their flag. However, both you and your enemies start with the same two items and spells. Though there is an easy way to still gain an edge over the enemies, and that’s done through crafting....

Summary The tech experts at Digital Foundry have discussed whether all of the rumours about a “Switch Pro” were actually just some of the the first details regarding theSwitch 2and that the two projects could have been one and the same. Considering how painfully drawn-out the wait for the Nintendo Switch 2has been over the past few years,it’s wild to think that we’re only a few weeks away from the console finally launching....

Summary Nintendohas already been facing a lot of flak thanks to the pricing ofMario Kart World. While the game surely looks impressive, fans seriously doubt that it offers enough to justify the$80 price. To add to this, Nintendo’s newSwitch 2game keys have also annoyed the fanbase, which enjoyed the luxury of physical copies more than any other console player base. While game keys allow you to share games with your friends, you won’t be able to access the game without it, rendering the entire download on your Switch 2 is useless....

I love diving into the nitty-gritty of an RPG’s design. In a game as large as Oblivion (andOblivion Remastered), there’s a reason behind the placement of every little item in the game, and there are many items. However, there’s always going to be cut content or redundant items that developers simply forgot to remove, and there are plenty of those in Oblivion. My personal favourite is the mysterious blood potion, which isn’t actually a potion at all, but a miscellaneous item....

You have to respect Atlus for how much mileage it’s gotten out of Persona 5. Over the last nine years, the RPG has grown into an entire franchise unto itself, with a manga, anime adaptation, and genre-spanning spin-offs like Persona 5 Strikers, Persona 5 Tactica, and the upcoming mobile game, Persona 5: The Phantom X. I spent a couple of hours with The Phantom X ahead of its June 26 launch, and I came away impressed by how closely its gameplay and story align with Persona 5....

It’s hard to believe that it’s been nine years since the release ofPokemon Go. That period was the closest to peace many of us have ever known, with whole communities coming together to catch virtual monsters across their towns and cities. Videos ofplayers sprinting across New Yorkencapsulated the joyous time, one of gaming’s biggest “you had to be there” moments ever. While many of those players have now lapsed, Pokemon Go still holds a vibrant player base, plenty of whom log in on a daily basis....

Capcom’s string of recentResident Evilremakes don’t just overhaul gameplay; they also reimagine key story elements, tying the series together more cohesively. For example, in RE3 Remake, it’s revealed that Nemesis was created using the Las Plagas virus from RE4, directly bridging the gap between games. RE4 Remake furthers that connection, with Luis now being part of the team whocreatedNemesis. Because of these narrative tweaks, the two games feel less disjointed, flowing into each other more naturally....

Rockstar mistakenly listed GTA 3 for free last week. The mistake was a brief one - it was rectified within an hour - and exclusive to the mobile version of the game. A lot of people got wind of the error and grabbed the game for free, though, and if you were one of those people, you will now need to keep the game on your device of choice forever or risk having to pay for it....

Have you ever heard of the PSA Vault? There’s a storage facility in Delaware with some of the most sophisticated security systems in the world that holds more than 750,000 trading cards. When you get a card graded by PSA, you can have it sent directly to the vault where it will be stored and protected, and when you’re ready to sell it on eBay, that transaction is fully facilitated through the vault....

Following the launch ofClair Obscur: Expedition 33, I found myself falling headfirst right into aFinal Fantasy-shaped hole. Sandfall Interactive’s RPG masterpiece is an obvious homage to Square Enix’s long-tenured series that you can’t help but think of it while traversing the vast yet doomed continent with Maelle and friends. Inspiration from its characters, themes, and gameplay design are so embedded into its identity that to detach them would be to rob Clair Obscur of what makes it wonderful to begin with....

Stellar Blade’s PC port has barely been out a day, and it’s already creating waves. We recently reported thatthe game has outperformed every other PlayStation PC port, with 99,980 players playing concurrently on Steam. It has beaten the likes of Ghost of Tsushima and God of War. WhileShuhei Yoshida claims the success is because of its combat, we have another theory. Let’s say that many players downloaded it for the combat, but heading over toNexus Modsmight make you think otherwise....
