10 Best Psyker Armies In Warhammer 40 000

Though Warhammer 40,000 is drenched in grimdark science fiction flavor through and through, it possesses numerous elements that one would more likely expect to see in fantasy. One such example is the inclusion of Psykers. Psykers are incredibly powerful beings that are capable of wielding magical powers and casting spells, providing them with a unique edge in combat.

10 Galarian Pok Mon With The Highest Attack Stat Ranked

There are many powerful creatures in the world of Pokémon, some focused on their defensive capabilities while others do their best work while being as annoying as possible.

Galar may not have the most powerful Pokémon in its region, there are more than a few which can compete with the best of them, either due to their stellar base stats or a combination of decent stats, abilities, and their movepool and are worth investing time in catching for many teams....

10 Hidden Areas In Biomutant Everyone Completely Missed

There aren’t exactly a lot of “hidden areas” in Biomutant. Most everything is labeled on the map and any area that’s “hidden” usually has one of the many side quests tied to it that would give the player a waypoint right towards it. This game is a weird one, and that’s part of the reason the reception has been so mixed. So, with that in mind, here are a bunch of areas in Biomutant that people either might not know exist, hold some rare/ultimate gear, or hide some truly unique mounts....

10 Lingering Questions We Have After The End Of Hyrule Warriors Age Of Calamity

Completely flying in the face of fan expectations, Age of Calamity was not an actual prequel to Breath of the Wild. Rather, the story serves as a companion piece that uses time travel as a means to comment & expand Breath of the Wild’s lore, characterization, and narrative themes. While the end result is a surprisingly nuanced meditation on one of Nintendo’s best games in years, it’s nonetheless difficult to reconcile all of Age of Calamity’s inconsistency with established backstory....

10 Pok Mon That Totally Lost Their Charm In The Move To 3D

Pokémon have some incredible designs that show how awesome, cute, or terrifying the in-game creatures can be. Some even have beta versions that changed during development and became the ones we know and love. That’s one of the reasons why 2D sprites are still beloved to this day. But that’s not to discredit the modern 3D models GameFreak use today for their more recent titles. Some Pokémon benefit from appearing in 3D....

10 Pokemon Characters Named After Real People

Ideas may start running low when having to write names for NPCs, especially when they start to reach numbers of over 100, as they do in many of the mainline Pokemon games. After exhausting the names of friends, family, and pets, maybe you’d start looking for outside inspiration. Or maybe you were such a big fan of a TV show you just had to name this character after the protagonist. That certainly seems the case for the teams involved with the production of our favorite monster-catching megahit....

District 9 Director Neill Blomkamp Says Sequel Is Being Written

There’s a long and storied history behind Neill Blomkamp’s District 9. A science-fiction story about a group of aliens stranded on Earth and forced to live in a refugee camp, District 9 was built off the repurposed props and ideas from Blomkamp’s canceled Halo project and went on to become one of the better films of 2009, launching Blomkamp’s directing career into the mainstream consciousness. Since then, Blomkamp has continued to work on various films, several with a similar style and genre such as Elysium and Dev Patel’s Chappie, though he never got back around to that Halo adaptation....
