Though we knew that Injustice: Gods Among Us, the new brawler from Mortal Kombat developer NetherRealm, would feature a wide range of characters from the DC Comics universe, there’s still some curiosity as to just which characters those might be. So far we’ve ticked off the likes of Superman, Batman, Nightwing, and Cyborg from the list of must-have characters for Injustice, and just revealed at this year’s Gamescom is yet another fan favorite: Catwoman....

So, maybe there isn’t enough Christmas and holiday programming on TV for your liking. We get it. You can’t be stuck at the mercy of broadcasters and cable networks all the time, not when there are so many Christmas movies to watch, right?

It’s February and I’m at Capital Sci Fi Con in Edinburgh, sitting next to Colin Baker. The day before, I’d brought my young sons to his table for an autograph, where he’d entertained them with all the bluster, bombast and larger-than-life loquaciousness we’d all come to expect from the Sixth Doctor, even if the man in whose gaze they were held transfixed was wearing a slightly older face, and a significantly less colourful jacket than they were accustomed to seeing....

The Barbarian stands strong among the known starting classes in Diablo 4. So far, nobody matches it when it comes to heavy weapons mastery. The Barbarian class is filled with time-honored Diablo traditions. It has everything from a whirlwind attack to battle cries to bolster allies and terrify enemies. On top of all its brutal damage options, the Barbarian is the definitive tank, and will appeal to anyone who wants to shrug off the attacks of demon hordes....

With every industry facing some kind of hardship due to the coronavirus pandemic, it should come as no surprise that the upcoming DLC fighters for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate may be facing a delay.

The main barrier for Sakurai, currently, is that travel outside of Japan has been halted....

The wait for more Crash Bandicoot content will be over sooner than anyone realized, as a demo for Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time is due to be released on September 16, but only to people who pre-ordered the digital version of the game. Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time is the long-awaited new entry in the series, which will bring brutally difficult platforming action back to the masses. The story involves a rip in the space-time continuum caused by the villains of the previous Crash games, which opens up the gateway to different universes....

Last year, the Crash Bandicoot N Sane Trilogy was unveiled at E3, with a PlayStation 4 release slated for this year. Since then, there has been plenty of speculation about whether the remaster would appear on other platforms, and now there’s been a further twist in the tale. The N Sane Trilogy was shown at PAX East this past weekend, with representatives guiding players through a demo. Now, a video has appeared on Twitter that seems to suggest that the game will end up on both the PlayStation 4 and the PC....

Roleplaying games have been feeding the imaginations of gamers since the 1970’s, when iconic titles like Dungeons & Dragons were shaking up the world of tabletop gaming with 20-sided dice and epic tales of adventure.

Bugs have been the biggest issue with Cyberpunk 2077 leading up to its release. Review copies didn’t include a sizeable patch scheduled to launch after its global debut, and early players were treated to a Night City plagued with more bugs than Skyrim. But after diving into Cyberpunk 2077 on PS5 yesterday, most of the issues seem to have been ironed out. There’s a lot of confusion surrounding the Day 0 update for Cyberpunk 2077, and things are complicated by the lack of patch notes from CD Projekt Red....

The news comes from a mix of credible sources, but EA has not officially confirmed anything. The rumors are certainly exciting, especially as Motive is apparently basing their remake on the work done by Capcom with the success of their remakes for Resident Evil 2 and 3....

The first Deadpool wasn’t such a great movie. As a friend of mine said shortly after seeing it, it basically consisted of four scenes. That’s more or less true, and it was also hampered by a generic villain and a few shortcuts budget-wise. But it did have one thing going for it: Ryan Reynolds, who gave his all in the role he was born to play, and whose undeniable charisma and nonstop, meta patter (provided with the help of screenwriters Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick) literally carried the entire picture....

Ever since some of the early trailers for Hideo Kojima’s next game Death Stranding, actor Mads Mikkelsen has been shown as what looks to be one of the antagonists of the game despite Mikkelsen himself saying his character, Cliff, is not a villain.
