Dan Slott has nearly reached the end of his record-setting 10-year run on Amazing Spider-Man, and the writer won’t be leaving the series without a big, blow-out story. For his final arc on Amazing Spider-Man, Slott has resurrected spider-nemesis Norman Osborn, the Green Goblin, but even that wasn’t enough. Now, with the symbiote’s help, Osborn is the Red Goblin, with all of the strengths of both villains and none of the usual weaknesses. Red Goblin is two of his biggest villains combined in one

The homepage favors displaying TV shows you’ve sat through nine times or a movie you just finished. It’s an annoying problem, and it’s only made worse by Netflix’s less than favorable browsing options. The aforementioned solution offers an easy way to separate titles we’ve already seen and new movies or TV shows that we can explore. The company recently removed the five-star rating system, which people often used to hide movies or TV shows they weren’t interested in. “The new rating system has s

The shopping cart can be used by one or two people. But, even if you’ve got the basics down, you probably still have quite a few questions about how exactly the shopping cart works. How do you control the shopping cart? Is the shopping cart faster than running? Can you get shot while you are in the shopping cart?

Following a 24-hour livestream on Twitch, Bethesda Softworks unveiled the next game set in the Fallout universe. It’s called Fallout 76, which refers to the vault where it takes place. The only character shown on screen is a single vault dweller, donning a blue Vault 76 suit and wearing a Pip-Boy with a date that reads Oct. 27, 2102. Kotaku reported that Fallout 76 will be “an online game of some sort.” Polygon has also heard the game will feature multiplayer. A press release sent out by Bethesd

Called the Poké Ball Plus, it’s an actual Poké Ball that you can carry around and catch Pokémon with. The Poké Ball Plus only works with its compatible games, not with any real-life Pokémon you may run into. Poké Ball Plus continues to be lifelike from then on; if you manage to capture your monster opponent, the device will vibrate and light up. But for the dreamers out there, the Poké Ball Plus is the closest we’ve ever been to owning a Poké Ball — even throwing it to catch ‘em all. The Poké Ba

Pokémon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! may be the series’ first exclusive Nintendo Switch games, but they may not be the RPGs longtime fans were expecting. But during a press conference held in Japan, The Pokémon Company confirmed that its next generation of games will arrive in 2019. “We’re also hard at work on another Pokemon core RPG designed for Nintendo Switch,” said series director Junichi Masuda toward the end of the presentation. The Pokémon Company first revealed that a traditional set of Pokémon

Fallout 76, a new Fallout game that got an unexpected teaser trailer today, references one of the many fictitious vaults of the post-apocalyptic series’ canon. This one is Vault 76, which meticulous Fallout fans may remember being mentioned in passing in 2008’s Fallout 3. Vault 76 is located in Virginia (or perhaps now West Virginia, given that the teaser trailer is set to “Take Me Home, Country Roads”). In the teaser trailer, Vault 76 appears to be tasked with rebuilding the Wasteland and resto

Stan Lee is as much of an icon as the superheroes he helped bring to life. The sad stories of comics’ most important creators The situation surrounding Stan Lee is complex, but not unusual for a personality who laid foundational stones in the American comics industry. But according to The Hollywood Reporter, Lee’s accountant, housekeeper and gardener were also all fired, and Mike Kelly — who had served as Lee’s assistant for over two decades — was limited to supervised visits. Many reporters are

Fortnite’s latest patch brings us the game’s first real vehicle, the shopping cart. It’s going to change how the game is played in some very interesting ways, from what we’ve seen. I’ve had a chance to play a few rounds with the shopping cart, and I have some thoughts on the matter. You only have limited steering ability when going that fast, so you’re going to want to make sure you’re aimed in the general direction of where you’d like to go. This could actually be a problem with more competitiv

A new Pokémon game is available today, May 29 — and it’s free to download for Nintendo Switch. It’s called Pokémon Quest, and based on what we’ve seen so far, it’s … really unlike any Pokémon game we’ve seen before. Instead, Pokémon Quest limits players’ control of their Pokémon to tapping attack meters once they’re full. Think of it as Minecraft meets the simplistic Pokémon spinoff Pokémon Rumble, which also transformed characters into miniature, stylized versions of themselves. pic.twitter.c

Brand Slam is a show were we use the hyper-accurate simulations offered by modern computing to create entirely accurate representations of our favorite (and most feared) brands, and then pit them against one another in the cleanest, most honest form of competition known to man: professional wrestling. In our first season, we created a scientifically perfect WWE 2K18 tournament bracket with the end goal of definitively naming The World’s Greatest Fast Food Brand. After a grueling series of matche

YouTube has a clickbait problem, and the Fortnite community is more than aware of shady tactics some creators use to grab people’s attention. It’s annoying, ridiculous and something other YouTubers have called out in the past. The concept of his new Fortnite video is simple: Every time Jacksfilms gets killed in-game, he has to add a layer of clothing. Jacksfilms’ short video tackles mocks that trend, while also touching on various gaming stereotypes, like using the word “plebe” when referring to

“Kratos doesn’t punch; he pulverizes,” Chris Plante wrote in Polygon’s review of God of War. We asked him what makes Kratos’ Leviathan Axe tick: Why does it feel so heavy, so meaty, so powerful to use? It’s a puzzle with many pieces, and in this video, we take a deep dive into the animation tricks that make the Leviathan Axe such a beast of a weapon. Drop me a comment about what your favorite overlooked, feel-good game mechanic is. We’re going to spend the next few weeks, with a break for E3, di
