After nearly a full year of delays, the time has finally come to for gamers to start playing Batman: Arkham Knight. The long-awaited final chapter in the Rocksteady series of Batman games arrived hot on the heels of very positive early reviews, but despite the top-quality gameplay, Arkham Knight is a bit of a nightmare for gamers on one platform in particular, PC. Console gamers had a pretty significant day one patch to deal with, but after downloading and installing that update the game was ready to go on PS4 and Xbox One....

Dima is one of the Rogues who you can choose to use in Rogue Company, and a bonus is that he is also free. He is known as a breacher, as his character is best suited for breaking down an opponent’s defenses to clear a path for his team. The combination of his perks and loadout makes him arguably one of the best Rogues in the entire game, as he is often fought over by teammates....

As far as mobile games go it’s hard to top the Angry Birds franchise. Spanning several sequels and offshoots the series that pits poultry against swine (or vice versa in the case of Bad Piggies) has become a global phenomenon. So much so that developer Rovio has begun to partner their Angry Birds IP with some of the most popular brands around, culminating in the release of Angry Birds Star Wars last year....

Apple is discussing a new gaming service with potential partners as they look to launch a premium games subscription for its App Store. That is according to a report from Bloomberg, which claims that the company wants to generate more revenue from iPhone and iPad users by offering a bundle of top titles that can be had for a monthly fee. With Google having announced its arrival on the gaming scene with the new Stadia revelation at the Gaming Developers Conference last week, news of other companies - like Walmart - aiming to make a splash of their own has emerged....

As Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time is releasing at the tail end of a console generation, a port to next-gen consoles would make sense for the long-awaited sequel. According to the ESRB, that next-gen version may be on the way, as a listing for Crash 4 on the Xbox Series X has been discovered. Crash 4 is receiving good reviews from numerous gaming websites, so a re-release of the game coming to PS5 and Xbox Series X would not be particularly surprising....

Microsoft is rumored to announce three all-new IPs at this year’s E3. We have some idea of what Microsoft has in store for us, thanks to earlier leaks indicating that the Xbox corporation plans on resurrecting more of its older IPs to flesh out its exclusive games line up. Fable is one such game rumored to get dusted off and put into a new game, with MechAssault being another. Gears of War 5 has already been confirmed to be in development, as is Halo Infinite....

Nintendo Switch Online subscribers in Europe and Japan will be able to play Rune Factory 4 Special for a week, as part of the Game Trials program. Rune Factory 4 Special is a game that combines farming simulator, fantasy dungeon battling, and earning love from anime folk. The game debuted on the Nintendo 3DS in 2012 as Rune Factory 4, and Special is the name given to the Switch remaster that was released in 2020....

It looks like RuneScape is on track for a successful mobile launch, as players are already flocking to download the game – and wreaking havoc on its servers in the process. Jagex began rolling out the iOS and Android versions of RuneScape today, and almost immediately announced its servers would be slower than usual due to “a high volume of players downloading RuneScape on mobile devices.” For a game celebrating its 20th anniversary, that’s got to be considered an achievement....

Ryan Coogler’s Proximity Media has officially entered the television game and they’re making theirs Marvel! Or at the very least Disney. The news was confirmed Monday afternoon by Deadline, which reported Coogler’s production company signed a five-year exclusivity deal with Disney. This means Coogler will be producing and developing television projects exclusively for the Disney+ streaming service, beginning with at least one drama series officially set in the Kingdom of Wakanda....

Our quick take Samsung Galaxy Camera (EK-GC100) - 3.5 / 5 SGS3 In Disguise Pocket Power Camera Quirks Performance Image quality To recap Android and connectivity is a delight, but the camera - the supposed core of the device - is the Galaxy Camera’s weak point. It’s good in use, and the rear screen looks ace, but the final images lack the sharpness they ought to have. There’s so much potential here, and we don’t doubt that the Galaxy Camera range will succeed in the future, but for now it’s the camera holding back the Camera....

The bad guys in Scarlet Nexus are called the ‘Others’, and if you think that sounds familiar, it’s probably because that’s what the bad guys are called in The Others, too. I mean, obviously. It’s also what they’re called in Lost. Oh, and also in A Song of Ice and Fire, where the White Walkers are called ’the Others. This was actually changed to avoid confusion with Lost, because too many things are called the Others....

Treyarch has made some adjustments to the scorestreaks in Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War in the beta’s latest patch. The scorestreaks have been tuned in multiple modes in order to “deliver a more consistent earn rate across all game modes.” The update also brings some bug fixes and added stability improvements. Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War developer Treyarch released the patch notes for a new beta update yesterday, revealing an incoming adjustment to the game’s scorestreak system....

Lorded for its unique gimmick in which players could summon almost any object they could think of, Scribblenauts has managed to carve itself a cult-following online since launching on the Nintendo DS back in 2009, spawning several sequels over the years. It seems the studio behind the franchise, 5th Cell, is ready to move on from the emergent puzzle series in pursuit of something new, announcing today that it has launched an early-access project known as Castlehold....

Sea of Thieves has featured an array of quests since its debut back in 2017, whether that’s players venturing to far-off lands in search of treasure or going toe to toe with skeletal warriors. However, one of Rare’s newest pirate adventures holds a much deeper sentiment than any added to the swashbuckling adventure before, with the game’s most recent update implementing a quest to honor the memory of James White....

While fans around the world are still waiting for FromSoftware’s Elden Ring to release, the last game the studio gave to the world is still the talk of the town. Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice introduced gamers to a whole new world that felt different from that of Dark Souls or Bloodborne. It leaned into Japanese culture, folklore, and history and provided a challenging and fulfilling experience. In regards to the challenge, in typical FromSoftware fashion, several regular enemies made players sweat and focus in very much the same way the formidable bosses are intended to do....

The Senran Kagura franchise has worn many hats since its 2011 inception. Initially, a scintillating brawler for the 3DS, Marvelous’ goofy series of anime cheesecake titles has since branched out into third-person shooters, card battlers, and even cooking games. Now, Senran Kagura: Peach Ball brings its unique brand of clothes-shredding comedy to the world of pinball, with mostly successful results. Peach Ball’s plot is as threadbare as it gets. Perpetually chill puppet-master Haruka has concocted a new serum that she’s dubbed Beastall, which turns anyone it comes into contact with into a more animalistic form of themselves....

Once upon a time, back when Lou Ferrigno’s Incredible Hulk was the big thing on TV – “the rage,” you might say – Marvel Comics was starting to sweat because there was a chance that the show was going to eventually introduce a female counterpart to the main character. If some kind of “She-Hulk” was introduced on the show or a spinoff movie, then she would be CBS’s property. Marvel was so desperate for ownership of “Hulk, but woman” that Stan Lee and John Buscema put together Savage She-Hulk #1 in 1980....

Few would disagree that 2012’s Skyfall is among the best entries in not only Daniel Craig‘s 5-film run as James Bond but the entire franchise. The movie featured all the standards of a proper Bond film, complete with Adele’s torch song, nifty gadgets from Q, and a diabolical villain in former MI6 agent Raoul Silva (who, yes, has a physical abnormality, because this is a Bond film). But Skyfall also added new twists to the series, including showing the death of M, who had only been replaced without comment in previous movies, and exploring 007’s youth, finally putting to rest the popular fan theory that “James Bond” was a codename swapped between agents....
