Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3ends (well,actuallyends) on a note that feels reminiscent of the shawarma scene in the firstAvengersmovie. But, more than anything, it has convinced me that James Gunn knows how to strike the right tone for a completely different superhero in an entirely different universe. That Avengers post-credits coda showed Tony, Natasha, Clint, Thor, Bruce, and Steve gathered around a table in a small restaurant, quietly eating as a woman in an apron swept the floor in the background, a sign that appeared to read, “Shawarma Palace,” displayed behind her....

EAhas just released a bunch of stats forStar Wars Jedi: Survivor, detailing how many times certain enemies have killed us, how many bounties we’ve collected, how many holotactics rounds we’ve played, and so much more. It’s something we’ve seen EA do before, and it taps into our collective love for our Spotify Wrapped or Letterboxd Year in Review. It’s a great idea that other publishers should do more often. But seeing how the majority played Jedi: Survivor reminds me how few gamers take advantage of everything games have to offer....

Tears of the Kingdomis out, and it’sincredible. I played it all weekend, and can’t stop thinking about it when I’m supposed to be working (which actually is not that big a problem in this line of work). There are so many quests I want to do, chasms and floating islands I want to explore, vehicles I want to build, shrines I want to solve, and temples I need to visit that I’m having a hard time imagining ever being done....

Resurfaced concept art forKingdom Hearts2 suggests that, at one point in development, Sora almost wielded a double-bladed Keyblade as part of his Final Form or Wisdom Form transformations.Despite being more than a year since Kingdom Hearts 4 and Missing Link were announcedat the series' 20th-anniversary event,it’s been a pretty dry season for fans. Although there might not be much official news to report, that hasn’t stopped the community from digging through some of the old games and finding some interesting discoveries, which is exactly what’s happened this week withKingdom Hearts 2....

In the Spring of 2010, 28-year-old mother Sunday Blombergh went missing. Her family quickly made up posters using a photo of her smiling with her hazel eyes lighting up the picture, describing her “red star outlined in black” wrist tattoo. Her body was later found in the Georgia woods. Three years later,Life is Strangereleased, and it depicts a fictional woman called Rachel Amber on a similar wanted poster, describing a wrist tattoo of a star....

Naming things can be difficult, especially in a game likeStory of Seasons: A Wonderful Life, where you frequently name the new animals to join your farm. Naming a dog and a horse is one thing; an entire flock of chickens is another. RELATED:Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life - Unique Ideas For Character And Farm Names You don’t have to figure them all out on your own, though. We’ve come up with a selection of naming conventions and themes that will more than suit your needs....

Nickelodeon All-Star Brawllaunched in October 2021, and now, less than two years later,a sequel is set to follow. It seems miraculous, especially considering art director Diego Hernández has said 98 percent of the game’s assets are built from scratch. But looking at how the first entry was at launch, I’m not optimistic. All-Star Brawl had levels that could barely reach 20 frames per second upon release. The game chugged and stuttered, but even when it was working, you had to contend with clunky characters and awkward controls that paled in comparison toSuper Smash Bros....

Quick Links Master Detective Archives: Rain Codedoes not shy away from the dramatic finish at the end of Chapter 2. After a downright surreal first scene, Chapter 3 kicks off with some very strange bits and one forlorn former detective.

Park Beyondaims to bring back the theme park builder in a new way. It has two main components: a story-driven campaign mode that sees you build new parks and revive old ones and a sandbox mode where you can create the theme park of your dreams, with or without restrictions and goals. There’s a point-and-click style coaster building interface, and each ride has two versions, a regular ride, and an Impossified version....

This article contains spoilers for the Lightning Temple in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdomoffers players a familiar dilemma. If you’ve playedBreath of the Wild, you likely remember when you got to the point in the main quest where Impa put four yellow dots on your map, and told you to have at the quartet of quests in any order you desire....

I always thought Smosh was cringe. As a teenager I was just old enough to fall outside its target demographic, even if I did tune into Smosh Games sometimes to see whether their taste had gotten better. Anthony Padilla and Ian Hecox’s brand of sketch comedy was immature, gross, and seemed aware of its own ineptitude, but it was the exact kind of cringe-inducing authenticity young viewers gravitate towards. For all those who grew up in the early ages of YouTube, you’d struggle to find two more influential faces....

After years of speculation from fans and some worries that it might be a plothole,Square Enixhas finally confirmed that Aerith has memories and visions from the future that she shouldn’t have inFinal Fantasy 7 Remake, and that the Whispers are actively taking them away from her.It’s fair to say that Final Fantasy 7 Remake’s plot can be a bit confusing at times, especially considering it rewrites and moves away from the original game in some significant ways....

I enjoyed Jedi: Survivor’s story far more than Fallen Order’s. Where Fallen Order felt like a journey I was forced to go on, I felt a strong desire to keep going with Survivor – I wanted Cal to succeed, and I wanted him to have hope and be happy.Fallen Order made Cal feel like a blank slate, going along with whatever he was asked to without a single critical thought.Survivor had him struggling with himself at every turn, questioning if he was doing the right thing....
