and Pokémon: Let’s Go, Eevee!, the mythical Pokémon Meltan is available to catch now in Pokémon Go. You will have to complete a series of special research to get a chance to catch the little gooey nut thing, similarly to how you have to for Celebi, Mew and Spiritomb. This is perfect for any trainers on the hunt for a Ditto for the Mew special research. If you complete the mission, you might want to hold off on turning it in, as the third special research step for Meltan also requires a Ditto. If

Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald takes us back to the wizarding world of Harry Potter, but with a goal of shaking up what we thought we knew. What we thought we knew, we didn’t, and saying anything without flagging for spoilers would get us locked up in Azkaban. note: This article contains major spoilers for Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald.] In the very last moments, Grindelwald reveals that he has known who Credence is all along — and it’s not a Lestrange.

2 would have to relinquish Cat Stevens’ “Father & Son” to Creed II. Adonis Creed (Michael B. Jordan) isn’t Rocky. Death hangs over Creed II, while taking physical shape: Drago’s son, Viktor (Florian Munteanu), who arrives to challenge Adonis and restore honor to his own family name three decades after Ivan’s defeat to Rocky. If there’s one thing that Creed II isn’t lacking, it’s hero montages, and Jordan is a pro at pulling them off. Unlike Adonis and Viktor, however, Creed II never manages to s

Before you master a level, Hitman 2 (and the previous Hitman) gives you a chance to explore it with a sense of wonder. The first level of Hitman 2 unleashes Agent 47 upon a race car event/tech exhibit. Eventually, you’ll relaunch into the mission, and the true Hitman experience really begins. Hitman 2 begs you to replay each map, dangling shiny new spy toys in front of you as a reward. After taking out the driver, I made a beeline for the fuel and carried it to the expo center, where my second t

The Criterion Collection, which had a foot in streaming before the announcement that FilmStruck would shut down at the end of November, will return to devices in the near future with its own stand-alone channel, the company announced on Friday. Known as the Criterion Channel, the service will launch in spring 2019, and will be an entirely separate service from the previous partnership with FilmStruck. In the company’s announcement of its new service, Criterion doubled down on this idea, ensuring

In 20 years, Fallout has become a juggernaut of a franchise, loaded up with more and more mechanics as it lumbers forward. Bethesda has added more gameplay options in Fallout 76, with online multiplayer, which makes me wonder — what even is this game? The original Fallout and Fallout 2 were turn-based RPGs with elements of exploration and stealth. And now, Fallout 76 has inherited all of these mechanics, plus multiplayer and non-optional survival. Despite its long list of mechanics, Fallout 76’s

Read on for Polygon’s picks for the best gaming headphones on the market today. Windows PCWinners: Sennheiser GSX 1000, Kingston HyperX Cloud AlphaLast year, I was a bit flummoxed by Sennheiser’s decision to send along an early model of its new GSX 1000 Gaming Audio Amplifier. In the year since, I’ve discovered that it’s secretly the best way to listen to video games, and a sign of things to come for the PC gaming headphone industry as a whole.

is the franchise’s first exclusive game on Nintendo Switch, and the first traditional Pokémon game to land on consoles. Playing the game handheld feels more like playing a traditional Pokémon game. But while the Poké Ball Plus is a fun catching mechanic, using it to navigate the world is a bit cumbersome. You have to use the Joy-Con or Poké Ball Plus controllers; the GameCube-style Pro Controller won’t work with Pokémon: Let’s Go!. But for those returning to the series, playing handheld is still

In order to evolve those Pokémon to their fourth-gen forms, you’ll need a bunch of candy and an item added to Pokémon Go in November: Sinnoh Stones. Sinnoh Stones are similar to other Evolution Items found in Pokémon Go, like Metal Coat, Dragon Scale and Sun Stones. Currently, the only way to earn Sinnoh Stones in Pokémon Go is by completing Research Tasks. With 11 Pokémon capable of new Sinnoh evolutions, that means you’ll need to play Pokémon Go for 11 weeks to fully upgrade all your fourth-ge

Marvel has canceled its Star Wars: Shadow of Vader miniseries following the firing of its writer, Chuck Wendig, seemingly over his social media presence. Sources at Marvel have confirmed to Polygon that the series will not be moving forward.

In 1966, two middle-aged Jewish-American men named Stan Lee and Jack Kirby unleashed the Black Panther and his fictional hidden homeland of Wakanda on the world. Like millions of people all over the world, I’ve been mourning the loss of Stan Lee ever since the iconic creator passed away on Monday. Despite being royalty, the Black Panther fell in line with that ethos when he chose to come to America. The first comic featuring Black Panther that I read wasn’t by Stan Lee. As a mystical threat to t

Heads are rolling at White Wolf, the company behind the classic Vampire: The Masquerade tabletop role-playing setting. For the last several years, an independent team at White Wolf, owned by Paradox Interactive, has been working to refresh the tabletop RPG for a modern audience with a fifth edition. Even before the launch of that ruleset in August, however, White Wolf was already courting controversy. It’s clear that Paradox is taking the steps needed to rein in White Wolf. Instead, those duties

Maybe you just want to pal around with your starter Bulbasaur, Charmander or Squirtle from the start. Getting a BulbasaurBulbasaur is likely the first of the starters you’ll pick up as a gift along your travels. Show them that you’ve caught 50 Pokémon already, and they’ll give you their Charmander to celebrate your achievement.

An animated series based on the Devil May Cry franchise is being developed by Adi Shankar, executive producer of the animated Castlevania series streaming on Netflix. He also told IGN that his Devil May Cry series will “join Castlevania in what we’re now calling the bootleg multiverse.” Shankar gained notoriety with a series of unauthorized, often graphically violent short films based on Marvel’s Venom and The Punisher, Judge Dredd, and the Power Rangers. “You can read into that all you want.”Sh

The Sims 4’s latest expansion pack is all about the intoxicating, intriguing lifestyle of fame. In a way, its on par with actual celebrity life and how inescapable your own celebrité can be. Leveling up gives you quirks that complicate your famous life.

Though recently vocal about the trials and tribulations of finishing his next A Song of Ice and Fire sequel, George R.R. According to the religion of Rheillor, practiced by the Red Priestess Melisandre, Azor Ahai will be reborn on the earthly plane to once again deliver the world from darkness. If all this sounds a little familiar, it’s because Jon Snow did just about the same thing in Game of Thrones’ seventh season. Just like Aegon the Conqueror, Jon is uniting Westeros to help protect it, but
