Without further ado, here’s our ranking of the best characters in Star Wars Andor. 10. Syril Karn Although he claims to do his job at Preox-Morlana to uphold justice, Syril Karn is a self-righteous villain fueled by pride and selfish recognition....

Ever dreamed of playing a game with Pixar-quality graphics? So has Insomniac. Next year’s PS4 re-imagining of Ratchet & Clank will run at 1080p/30fps, the developer has confirmed, with the aim to get the game looking as good, or even better than the upcoming CG movie. “We’re 1080p/30fps,” community lead James Stevenson posted on PlayStation Blog. “Our goal was to match or exceed the fidelity of CG animated movies. When we first started we realized that was actually possible with PS4....

Ravenlok is an action-adventure fairytale game from developer Cococucumber, coming out in 2023 on Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, and PC. Check out the games announcement trailer below: The description reads: “Ravenlok is an action-packed fairytale reimagining of a troubled kingdom and a young girl’s destiny to fulfill a dangerous prophecy.

Redfall and Starfield have both been delayed to the first half of 2023, Bethesda confirmed today via a tweet. The post mentions that the publisher wants to “ensure you receive the best, most polished versions of them.” Redfall was originally headed for a September release, while Starfield was set to come out on November 11. Delays aren’t too surprising anymore in game development. Over the past few years, we’ve seen plenty of titles get pushed back a few months later down the line....

The Microsoft Store is currently holding a massive sale on Capcom games for the Xbox One. The best part about Microsoft’s sale is that it includes recently released titles from Capcom’s biggest franchises including Resident Evil, Monster Hunter, and Devil May Cry. Players interested in grabbing a game or two should act immediately given that Microsoft’s Capcom Publisher sale will only be available this weekend. Headlining Microsoft’s sale is the highly-successful 2019 remake of Resident Evil 2....

Following up on the announcement of the Resident Evil 4 remake from the most recent State of Play, the Capcom Showcase stream shared details about the story to help explain this title’s place in the franchise. Like past Resident Evil remakes, their goal is to keep what made the original special plus the addition of some new “flourishes” along the way. Resident Evil 4 takes place about six years following the events in Raccoon City from Resident Evil 2 and 3....

Mike Flanagan, the horror auteur behind The Haunting of Hill House and last year’s theatrical version of Stephen King’s Doctor Sleep, is attached to yet another King property: the 2014 novel Revival. Deadline reports that Flanagan will write an adaptation of the novel for Warner Bros. Pictures “with an option to direct,” so he’s not confirmed yet to do the latter. Flanagan is also going to produce the project along with his regular producing partner, Trevor Macy, through their Intrepid Pictures banner....

This Riverdale review contains spoilers. Riverdale Season 4 Episode 14 “How’s Jughead doing these days?” Let’s address the whoopee hat-wearing elephant in the room: Jughead is obviously not dead. I mean duh. Despite all the corpses shown/red herrings thrown around here, this is just a simple fact. Losing Jughead would break the show, and I can’t imagine that the series’ legion of teen fans would stand for such a thing. So the game that has to be played here is continuing to make audiences think that Jughead is dead....

This review contains spoilers. 4.9 Tangerine “He’s dead” And just like that, Riverdale‘s mid-season finale wraps up with the jaw-dropping reveal that Dark Betty killed Jughead. Say it ain’t so Bughead Nation! Admittedly, I have no idea where this plot is going. Up until tonight I was convinced that Bret and the jerks over at Stonewall Prep were responsible for Jughead’s apparent death. (For the record, I’m still convinced that any information presented here suggesting otherwise are merely red herrings)....

Following on from the multiplayer success of Modern Warfare 2, Call of Duty: Black Ops’ online director Dan Hunting has told VideoGamer.com the game will still restrict Xbox LIVE gamers from using party chat in some of the game’s online modes. “We have that same restriction in certain playlists where they can use party chat to exploit the game mode. For example, Search and Destroy. Search and Destroy is one of those cases where it’s really critical that you don’t share information with anybody on the other team because it’s a very tactical, hardcore game mode,” said Bunting in an interview with VideoGamer....

This week, Bungie CEO Pete Parsons and Xbox Head Phil Spencer teamed up for another Bungie Bounty in Destiny 2. However, instead of the target being to beat Parsons and Spencer in Crucible like past bounties, this time the goal was just to join them during a Heroic Strike. The first Destiny 2 Bungie Bounty of Year 3 was made possible thanks to Cross Save, which was activated a few weeks ago....

Developer Twirlbound has finally released Pine, an open-world action-adventure game set in the world of Albamare. Players take on the role of young Hue, a young man who explores, trades, and fights his way through a world inhabited by tribes of creatures unlike anything he has seen before. While the open-world concept feels fantastic, the linear storytelling can be somewhat contradictory to the core vision of the game, and its core mechanics can feel repetitive after a while....

Planet Zoo’s steady stream of post-launch DLC continues today with the arrival of its 11th paid expansion, the eco-themed Conservation Pack, on Steam, introducing a selection of new, endangered animals, new scenery items, and more. On the animal front, Planet Zoo’s Conservation Pack brings five new additions - Przewalski’s horse, amur leopard, scimitar-horned oryx, siamang, and axolotl - all of which are considered at-risk species as a result of climate change, poaching, and habitat degradation....

The world of PCs is quite vast. There are thousands of different hardware configurations out there, ranging across millions of different PCs. That’s what makes PC gaming rather complicated. Sure, you’ll always see your stereotypical ‘PC elitist’ constantly talk about why PC gaming is top tier, but the reality is that you’ll need top-tier equipment to get those results. As expected, that level of tech is very expensive. So, what about the folks out there who have budget PCs that really aren’t built for gaming?...

During the Q&A session of PlayStation’s segment of Sony’s 2022 Business Segment Briefings, CEO Jim Ryan provided additional details about SIE’s business and plans. Ryan was asked to comment on the Metaverse, and he mentioned that nobody really knows what the Metaverse will look like in the future but he does not believe that it will directly replace the existing ways in which people play games. It will appeal to some individuals and to some portions of the market but many will prefer enjoying games in the way that they have played them in the past 30+ years....

As reported yesterday, PS3 system software 3.60 is live - as is the long-rumored cloud game save storage for PlayStation Plus subscribers. How does the new feature work and, along with the other PlayStation Plus features, does cloud saving make it worth upgrading to a paid account with Sony? Despite a somewhat vague announcement at E3 2010, Sony’s premium online service has been adding features, not to mention offering a lot of free content - growing into a surprisingly rich package for the price....

If you haven’t heard the news yet, which would mean that you haven’t been on the internet or left your house since June, not every single Pokémon is included in Sword and Shield. As such, there’s only a certain selection of Pokémon available from every single generation. Today, we’re going to be taking a look at ten Generation Three Pokémon that we’re glad to see have returned to Sword and Shield, in no particular order....
