Pokémon Sword & Shield have come under fire for cutting a lot of content from the series, but they have also added some amazing new features that have made us want to return to the Galar region after watching the end credits roll. The issues with Pokémon Sword & Shield can partly be attributed to them being the first mainline Pokémon games on a home console and Game Freak needing to transplant its handheld series to a home console, as the audience had much bigger expectations than what was accomplishable in the time allotted....

Provided you have a television (if you don’t, why are you here?), you know the television show Prison Break, which premiered on Fox back in 2005 and ran for four seasons. A game - titled Prison Break: The Conspiracy - has been in development based on the first season for some time and developer Deep Silver has now released more screenshots to the public. Suffice to say, the screenshots are a good example of graphics in the industry....

Sony’s recent State of Play broadcast was an exciting one, bringing a lot of brand new surprises, trailers, and reveals. From the long-awaited announcement of the Resident Evil 3 remake and a tease revealing that more Ghosts of Tsushima footage is coming at Thursday’s Game Awards, there was enough to make any PlayStation fan eagerly excited.

Earlier this week, Sony finally confirmed that the PlayStation 5 will indeed be called the PS5. The company also confirmed some of the PS5’s features, its holiday 2020 release window, and even offered some details about what to expect from its new controller. However, Sony kept one important detail about the PS5 secret, but it may be the thing that many consumers have the most interest in when it comes to the new console - how much it will cost....

There’s just something about the Halloween aesthetic that goes great with platformers. Headup has just announced Pumpkin Jack, which promises to be like a cross between MediEvil and Jak & Daxter, and it’s already got me sold. Pumpkin Jack tells the story of a peaceful place called Boredom Kingdom, which exists in perpetual harmony. But the literal devil apparently doesn’t like this, which results in him siccing the Curse of Eternal Night on the place....

Rainbow Six Siege’s test server removed cross-chat in order to prevent toxic behavior, but then immediately put it back based on player feedback. Rainbow Six Siege has had a toxic player problem for quite some time. Ubisoft actually acknowledged it way back in early 2018 when they instituted a new toxicity management system that would actually ban players for making hateful or racist comments. In July of 2018, they started a three-strikes rule that would get your permanently banned for repeated offenses....

A recent Raven Software job posting has confirmed the studio’s involvement with the Call of Duty series. The job posting, which is no longer live on Raven’ site, described Raven Software as a developer of numerous ward-winning games, including contributions to the blockbuster Call of Duty. Specifically, the posting was looking for a designer to join a team to work on an established first-person shooter. The job posting itself, therefore, does not mean Raven is necessarily looking to hire someone to work on an upcoming Call of Duty game but it did clearly state Raven has contributed to the franchise....

The Van Der Linde gang that Dutch put together was comprised of some nasty fellows, troubled misfits, and those without family or home. Most of them weren’t violent criminals, but rather a group of loyal souls strung along by their charismatic and ultimately foolish leader. Charles Smith would have been the newest member to the gang if it wasn’t for Sadie Adler, which he had a strong relationship with. Charles was a good and honorable man who deserved better....

This Riverdale review contains spoilers. Riverdale Season 4 Episode 4 “You know, I wish that I could say that tonight’s been particularily insane because it’s Halloween, but no, this is actually fairly typical.” There’s nothing quite like when Riverdale fully confronts its own inherent ridiculousness. I realize that I sound like a broken 45 of “Sugar, Sugar” at this point, but the fact remains that this show is always at its best when it embraces insanity....

This review contains spoilers. 4.7 The Ice Storm “Conspiracy theories and a murder mystery to solve? Sounds like a romantic weekend to me.” Taking its name from Rick Moody’s novel (and its subsequent 1997 film adaptation) The Ice Storm, this Thanksgiving-themed episode of Riverdale was in and of itself a look at complicated family dynamics.
