It’s been four years since the last Splinter Cell game was released, and things have been relatively quiet ever since. However, it appears that a new Sam Fisher adventure may be on the horizon thanks to evidence of a new trademark application for the franchise name.

Sackboy has become quite the Sony mascot in recent years. Not only did the character gets his own kart racing spin-off in the form of LittleBigPlanet Karting, but he was also selected to be a playable combatant in PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale.

Doctor Who fans who attend this weekend’s San Diego Comic-Con will get a chance to enter the TARDIS. No, not some crowded replica built to be “Instagrammable.” If you visit the BBC America booth, you’ll be able to strap on a VR headset and privately enter the box that’s bigger on the inside. The amazing opportunity serves as a prelude to Doctor Who: The Edge of Time, a “feature-length” video game that will put players in the role of a brand-new companion....

Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice is earning a reputation for its difficulty, so much so that other gaming sites are putting out articles asking for an easy mode. If people are having such a hard time with the game that they need an easier setting, they’re not going to be happy with this next bit of news. It turns out Sekiro has four different endings. That means making it to the final boss once isn’t enough, not if you want to see everything....

Last week Bungie confirmed the skill-based matchmaking feature in Destiny 2’s PvP was not working as intended. Players had begun noticing that Crucible was “more fun” in recent days and it turns out now we know the reason. But when Bungie revealed that Destiny 2 skill-based matchmaking was bugged, they never said if there were any plans to fix it. In fact, many players would rather Bungie keep things the way they are since matches are less “sweaty” than they have been in the past....

The faction that many often overlook in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is one designed for bards and anyone with an appreciation for good songs and poetry. Located in Solitude, the Bards College might not have the most immersive questline compared to some of the other factions, but it would be a lie to say it’s all a waste of time. The Bards College is among some of the oldest schools in all of Tamriel, along with the College of Winterhold....

Despite how much focus the game places on flying throughout the sky, the Loftwing is one of the most underutilized mechanics in Skyward Sword. Flying just doesn’t have the same depth as horseback riding or even sailing and very few in-game set pieces actually make use of your Loftwing in a meaningful sense. Which also has the unfortunate consequence of leaving you unprepared when Skyward Sword suddenly starts demanding some semblance of competent flight on your part....

While it’s been commonplace in Japan for decades, the sub genre of ‘slice-of-life’ animated features is fairly rare for western audiences, much less entire series with a kid-friendly approach. Many in the west were perhaps first exposed to this style of animation via Aardman Animation’s Wallace and Gromit short films, which may have also doubled as an introduction to stop-motion. Typically, stop-motion is used to depict everyday circumstances through a surreal lens, with the recent announcement of Hulu’s MODOK series once again highlighting the aesthetically pleasing element of seeing toy-like creatures come to life through the mundane....

“System and method for generating user inputs for a video game” reads US Patent Application number 20210031110, submitted by Sony Interactive Entertainment on August 1, 2019, and approved on July 15, 2020. The patent basically seeks to replace the standard game controller with common household objects. Technically it could be anything, but the patent has some pretty funny technical drawings of a banana with Xs, squares, and triangles on it, so we’re going to stick with bananas....
