Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus’ season pass content unlocked earlier this week, giving us access to the first of four episodic adventures that shift us away from B.J. But The Freedom Chronicles is set to be a series of joyously comic book-style adventures, if its premiere, “Episode Zero,” is anything to go by. Episode Zero functions as a prologue to the larger season pass storyline, which will consist of three more distinct stories. Praising the deviations of the DLC isn’t to suggest that Wolfe

Destiny 2 developer Bungie will soon update the game on consoles to add support for 4K resolution and high dynamic range (HDR) color, the studio announced yesterday. In case you were wondering about the power differences between the PlayStation 4 Pro and Xbox One X, Destiny 2 will be a good example. (Destiny 2 is locked at 30 fps on both consoles, even if you’re playing on the PS4 Pro or Xbox One X.) As of September 2016, all PS4 consoles support HDR. On the Microsoft side, only the latest Xbox

If you played Destiny, you may be familiar with Xur, the weekly exotic item merchant. This scales to your character’s power level, so make sure you’re buying Xur exotics on your highest level character. While it’s a completely adequate grenade launcher, it’s rarely worth an exotic slot. This helmet is a fine option for any Warlock subclass if you don’t have another exotic you should be wearing. The Cerebral Uplink perk will highlight targets for you and passively increase the regeneration of you

Stranger Things and Stranger Things 2 are designed around references to classic films, TV shows, bands and video games of the 1980s, but a new Easter egg reference spotted is the most important Easter egg yet. [Warning: The following has spoilers for Stranger Things and Stranger Things 2.] In Stranger Things 2, Jim Hopper wears a blue bracelet. It’s one of the most heartbreaking but feel good moments Stranger Things has woven into the storyline. Stranger Things and Stranger Things 2 are availabl

It would be about Final Fantasy 7. It would be an oral history, not unlike his Street Fighter piece from earlier that year. We published Final Fantasy 7: An oral history in January 2017, the twentieth anniversary of the game’s original Japanese release. This UK-based publisher, operated by Darren Wall, produced the stupendous history book Sega Mega Drive/Genesis: Collected Works. Let’s talk about what’s in this new, extended print release:Specially commissioned illustrationsAt least e ight new s

Mario Party gets a bad rap. So genius, in fact, that it’s hard to believe that it took Nintendo nearly 20 years to focus an entire game on the best part of Mario Party. It’s way more scattershot than the typical Mario Party board, but that’s actually to its benefit. Mario Party: The Top 100 does a very good thing by giving us tons of minigames to play, and some fun ways to play them. I guess a true Mario Party does need to make some stops, after all.

Watchmen is a 1986 graphic novel from Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons, published by DC Comics. Almost every page of the book is a variation on nine panels of equal size and shape. And symmetricity is a major recurring element of Watchmen, often linked to the character of Rorschach, whose shifting mask is always made of symmetrical shapes. pic.twitter.com/xxFHVxbOCD — Bruja-na Polo (@NerdGerhl) November 6, 2017It turns out people can see what you put on the internet. https://t.co/690POE2gF5 — Bruja-n

Six years after its initial release, The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim’s ridges and valleys have become as familiar to me as the back of my hand. Seeing familiar the familiar sights with the depth and scale afforded by its new PlayStation VR version is a treat … for the most part. Misbehavior has always been a hallmark of the Elder Scrolls games, but the addition of motion controls, using PlayStation Move controllers, makes a life of crime even more attractive.

A subscription to Disney’s stand-alone streaming service will be “substantially cheaper” than Netflix, Disney CEO Bob Iger said today. Iger spoke at length about the streaming service, which still doesn’t have an official name, during an investor’s call. “We’ve given a lot of thought to pricing,” Iger said. That’s an offering of less than 25 percent of what Netflix offers on the film side, and substantially less television episodes. Iger addressed those concerns during the call, reiterating that

Rian Johnson will develop a “brand-new Star Wars trilogy” for Disney and Lucasfilm, Disney CEO Bob Iger announced during an earnings call today. Johnson, 43, is co-writer and director of Star Wars: The Last Jedi, the middle entry in the new Star Wars trilogy. “Star Wars is the greatest modern mythology and we feel very lucky to have contributed to it. The companies said they have not yet set release dates for the three new films of the fourth Star Wars trilogy, although presumably the first one

Lucasfilm is developing a live-action Star Wars series for Disney’s new streaming service, Disney’s CEO, Bob Iger, announced today. There isn’t much information about the series, but it will be released exclusively on Disney’s streaming service. The Star Wars series will be joined by three other live-action shows also based on Disney properties; one will be based on Marvel, another on Monster’s Inc. and a third one based on the High School Musical franchise. The announcement comes just months af

Disney is the only company that has been able to make the idea of the cinematic universe work, and work well. The level of organization that goes into the Marvel films, as well as the interlocking Star Wars timelines, can’t be overstated. That’s why the fact that director Rian Johnson has been tapped to direct the next Star Wars trilogy is such significant news. Disney also didn’t have to announce this now, as shifts in director have become common in both Star Wars and Marvel films. The days of

Electronic Arts says it plans to acquire Respawn Entertainment, the studio behind the Titanfall franchise. EA announced the purchase, as well as a new, in-development Titanfall game, in a press release. In addition to a new Titanfall game, Respawn is working on an untitled game set in the Star Wars universe and a virtual reality first-person combat experience for Oculus. EA has been a great partner over the years with Titanfall and Titanfall 2, and we’re excited to combine our strengths. This is
