After months of teasing the third installment in the Avengers franchise — and the first part of the current Marvel Cinematic Universe finale — Marvel has released its first public trailer for Avengers: Infinity War. Marvel brought out a number of its Avengers: Infinity War actors to debut the footage, at both D23 and SDCC, but that footage was never officially released. Prior to the trailer, Marvel debuted a behind-the-scenes featurette for Infinity War in February. We learned that Infinity War

There’s one major difference between the first Avengers: Infinity War trailer that premiered this morning and the footage thousands of fans were privy to over the summer: Wakanda. The Infinity War trailer makes Wakanda a major plot point, introducing characters like Hulk and Scarlet Witch to the nation, alongside Captain America and Winter Solider, who first ventured to the planet at the end of Civil War. When the first Avengers: Infinity War footage debuted, it was ahead of Thor: Ragnarok’s rel

Kellogg’s and Nintendo have teamed up for Super Mario Cereal, a sugary breakfast cereal designed to promote Super Mario Odyssey. In addition to bringing Nintendo-themed cereals back to store shelves, the release is noteworthy for another reason: The cereal box is an amiibo. Super Mario Cereal hasn’t been officially announced by Nintendo and Kellogg’s yet, but it’s already reportedly showing up on store shelves.

Star Citizen, the ambitious collection of spacefaring games from Chris Roberts and his team at Cloud Imperium Games (CIG), is now offering backers the opportunity to buy plots of virtual land. “These claim licenses are being made available for pledging to help fund Star Citizen’s development,” CIG said on its storefront page. Pledging for these claim licenses now allows us to include deeper features in the Star Citizen game, and is not required for starting the game.”In a video released late yes

On Nov. 24, cosplayer Christine Sprankle tweeted that she was unloading her Magic: The Gathering costumes and cosplay gear in the wake of months of harassment. The company released an initial statement via its official Magic Twitter account on Nov. 25, condemning harassment in the community. We’re saddened by what happened in the Magic community this weekend. We are incredibly proud of the Magic community and the tremendous good it does in people’s lives.

This week, we’re running a big list of what we — and a group of trusted friends — recently voted as the 500 best video games of all time. For the backstory, criteria, explanation of why Breath of the Wild isn’t on the list, etc., head to the beginning here: The 500 best games of all time. Daytona USA(1994, Arcade, others)At the time of its release in 1993, Daytona USA was one of the best looking games ever made. Its push and pull of challenge and fun gameplay highlight just what make the best mo

Even by late-night cable block Adult Swim’s standards, The Eric Andre Show is extremely strange. That strangeness makes it special, though — and it also makes it a perfect distillation of some similarly absurd video games. Using screens from the talk show parody, Bionicle Sex has shone a new light on some of the greatest titles of all time. The thread kicks off with a very good interpretation of Fallout:I will describe video games using Eric Andre show screenshots. Thank you, Bionicle Sex, for a

Seeing the movie in the theater means that you’ll be subjected to a seemingly endless Frozen short film that plays before the movie begins. “Olaf’s Frozen Adventure” is a made-for-TV special that Disney and Pixar decided to attach to Coco’s theatrical screenings. Even if the short was good — and as someone with zero patience for Frozen, it’s not — the opportunity cost would still be prohibitive. The quality of Coco itself proves that Pixar is still in capable hands, but the inclusion of this blo

In part, it seems, it was due to concerns with violating the Star Wars canon. It matters in Star Wars, because Star Wars fans want realism. But Star Wars fans may also want to tailor things — a different colored lightsaber, things like that. We can also point to 2015’s Star Wars Battlefront, which included a bunch of cosmetic options for Rebel and Imperial foot soldiers. Obviously EA needs to play by Lucasfilm’s rules when it comes to Star Wars, and it sounds like they were forced to when it com
