The Thunderbolts are a ragtag group of former secretaries who have ended up becoming one of the most formidable superhero teams in theMCU. There’s a clear hierarchy in terms of their combat ability, since their powers aren’t as varied as those of the Avengers or X-Men. The members of the Thunderbolts are primarily street-level, which usually means they have to work together to defeat supervillains—though given their dysfunctional personalities, that’s a tall task in itself....

Star Wars Outlawswas a pretty decent game when it launched last year, but in today’s brutal cutthroat industry, “pretty decent” doesn’t cut it for the biggest publishers out there. Ubisoft has outright stated that Star Wars Outlaws is considered a failure at the company, suggesting that it wasdue to the Star Wars brand being in “choppy water” at the time of its release. Yep, that was the problem. More likely, the game was a bomb thanks to itsfrustrating stealth sections, drab story, and our collective fatigue of Ubisoft’s cookie-cutter open-world format, but it was a bomb nonetheless....

Quick Links Part of what makesClair Obscur: Expedition 33such a narratively enticing game is the world that it takes place in. Starting in Lumiere and following Expedition 33 to the Continent, we’re given details not just about what is going on, but what has led up to this point. While we follow the surviving members of Expedition 33, throughout the game’s story we’ll learn more about the Expeditions that came before them, and their unique experience on the Continent....

Quick Links The Black Rabbit Brotherhood makes their return inLies of P: Overture. As you explore the past, you’ll be able to find their old safehouses scattered across Krat, each with their own unique prize for Gepetto’s puppet to claim. However, as expected, the Brotherhood would never leave their safehouses unprotected. Each safehouse will require a special key to unlock. As the Brotherhood ventures around Krat, it appears they’ve dropped these keys in several very obscure locations....

Quick Links Using resources is a very special part ofDeath Stranding 2: On the Beach. They let you build structures, restore buildings, and improve your equipment, among other things. It’s less common to find lost materials out in the wild, at least when compared to the original game. This is where the mines come to play. Throughout your exploration of Australia, you’ll be able to find eight mines in Death Stranding 2....

Quick Links One of the weirder recurring mechanics inDonkey Kong Bananzais the shaved ice machine used to cool lava or fill up pots of frozen desserts. This is the crux ofQuick-Serve Ice Treats, a Challenge Course in theLandfill Layerof the game that revolves around speed filling one of these dessert pots. In theory, the level has apredesigned pipelinefor the treats to fall down, meaning theice will all fall into the potat the end no questions asked....

Summary Who doesn’t love Mordin Solus? The genius salarian geneticist initially seems standoffish and aloof, but it doesn’t take long for him to show his whimsical side, worming his way into the hearts of many aMass Effectplayer. Everyone trilogy player knows Mordin’s most iconic scene, which takes place atop the Shroud on Tuchanka. I’d argue his second-most iconic scene takes place aboard the Normandy SR-2, where he regales Shepard with a rendition of his legendary scientist salarian song....

Dead by Daylight’sbig crossover withThe Walking Deadstarted last month, bringing iconic characters like Rick Grimes, Daryl Dixon (he’ll always be Sam Bridges in my heart), and Michonne into the game, but all of these have been overshadowed thanks to one of the game’s latest updates, and something that was added to the game completely by accident. There isn’t much that could take the wind out of a Walking Dead crossover, but a metal beam is currently the talk of the Dead by Daylight community....

Earlier this month, it was announced thatBioWarewould be shuttingAnthem’sservers down for goodon July 01, 2025. It’s not necessarily news that comes out of nowhere. The multiplayer RPG shooter has been untouched for many years now – the game launched in 2019 to awful reviews and was maligned by fans, its development was marred by mismanagement and a lack of consistent vision, and after the announcement of a reboot and the cancellation of said reboot, Anthem was left to die from 2021 onwards....

There are two main distinct eras ofPokemon: the first is the older games thatused pixel sprites and graphics, and the second is when Game Freak transitioned to 3D instead. While both have their merits, I’m distinctly in the camp that the pixel, 2D era was better than what we’re in now. I love Sun & Moon, but they were the start of Pokemon’s descent. If you still aren’t convinced and somehow think the 3D games are the better of the bunch, I’m here to prove to you that they’re not....

Summary Powerful magic items can make all the difference in a high-levelDungeons & Dragonscampaign, especially for expert, veteran players. However, you’re able to actually take these items even further by homebrewing your own, rather than waiting for your Dungeon Master to dole out the exact piece of magical treasure that you want. But if you’ve never homebrewed before, even as a high-level player, you might be wondering where to start....

Brand-new concept art for the cancelledBatmangame that would have starred Damien Wayne as the Dark Knight has been shared, giving us a good look at an older Bruce.
