Not only is it 2022’s biggest film, it has flown past the overall box office earnings of Avengers: Infinity War.

Konami will lift the wraps off PES 2019 tomorrow, May 9, according to a teaser that popped up during Sunday’s El Clasico.

Pokémon has teamed up with an insurance association in Japan to help educate children and foreigners about road safety. Using your phone while driving is a no-no most people reading this hopefully don’t need to be reminded about. However, every day people get into traffic accidents due to the fact they were on their phone, looking at their phone, or hit someone who was distracted due to the fact they were looking at their own phone....

God of War Ragnarok is releasing fairly soon, and the Taiwanese arm of Sony Interactive Entertainment found a rather original way to celebrate. With the upcoming new adventure of Kratos and Atreus coming in November, a massive sand sculpture portraying them is being exhibited at the 2022 Fulong International Sand Sculpture Arts Festival.

In October of last year, a Chance the Rapper-hosted episode of Saturday Night Live featured a sketch about esports (professional League of Legends specifically). The humor centered mostly on well-worn stereotypes about gamers. Given that the audience of SNL is likely largely comprised of those who aren’t familiar with the world of esports, the fact that SNL thought esports was worth parodying was nonetheless a notable moment. Now, NPR sports writer Tom Goldman has brought the sketch back in a piece about the complications of bringing esports to a wider audience....

Attention all you PlayStation gamers - a widespread PlayStation Network (PSN) error is affecting games. Booting up even a single player game nets PSN Error Code: 8001050F for some users. It looks like it could be tied to trophies, as in my case Darksiders wouldn’t boot because it couldn’t register trophy data. The only option the game gives is to quit. According to gamers at PlayStation Universe, themes aren’t working either....

To the clouds. That is to say, to the servers that will be storing the saved games of PlayStation 3 owners. As indicated by a survey distributed last year, PlayStation Plus members will soon be able to save their games to Sony servers. Saved game data can then be accessed from any PlayStation 3. The service will be made available with the upcoming 3.60 firmware update. Online Saving, Sony’s name for the process, should be a much more convenient utility than account recovery on Xbox Live....

Photon Chunk is a two-star rarity mineral ore found in PSO2 New Genesis. Despite it being a lower-tier ore, Photon Chunk is actually one of the rarer ores in the game. It doesn’t spawn in too many locations, with the majority of it only found around Balflow Falls in South Aelio. It has a few uses, but it’s mainly used to unlock the potential of weapons. Unlocking a weapon’s potential enables a series-specific perk that can increase DPS considerably....

Short Version: If you have a DS and loved the Puzzle Quest series of games, then definitely check out Puzzle Chronicles.

Educational games are a smart way to get unsuspecting children to learn things. The kids have fun and, without even realizing it, they also learn a new skill. Ubisoft’s new free game, Rabbid Coding, aims to teach kids the basic principles of coding, without forcing them to look at a wall of code. Computers are becoming increasingly more pervasive in our daily lives. There’s a computer in almost everything.

Ubisoft’s Rabbids are quite possibly the most annoying creatures in the world of video games, but their reputation has improved considerably ever since the release of Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle. With the follow-up title Sparks of Hope set to release sometime this year, Ubisoft is capitalizing on their momentum to release a special animated movie on Netflix this month.

Months before the Red Dead Redemption 2 release date had even arrived, rumors about an eventual PC release of Rockstar Games’ epic Western had already begun circulating. Since then, these rumors have only grown stronger, with hints of a Red Dead Redemption 2 PC port appearing in the source code of the Rockstar Social Club, on the resume of a former Rockstar employee, and beyond. Even Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick has chimed in on an RDR2 PC port, saying that there would be “no downside” to a PC release of Red Dead 2....

Capcom has confirmed that the Resident Evil 3 Remake will not include the original’s Mercenaries mode. Players will have to be content with Resident Evil 3 Remake’s campaign, as well as the asymmetric multiplayer mode Resident Evil Resistance instead. The Mercenaries is a mini-game mode that grew into a substantially larger side-mode across several games. The version in Resident Evil 6 had players killing enemies across several stages while trying to accrue high scores for the leaderboard....
