In the lead-up to Zack Snyder’s Justice League premiering next week on HBO Max, the director has been busy promoting the upcoming re-release. Recently, Snyder has been sharing short teaser trailers focusing on each member of the Justice League, with a Wonder Woman-focused trailer shared yesterday on International Women’s Day. Today, Snyder shared a teaser that focuses on the character Cyborg, played by Ray Fisher. Snyder shared the teaser on his Vero account with the captions: “#SnyderCut #ZackSnyderJusticeLeague #UsUnited and #afsp....

Law & Order was one of the longest running crime shows on television. It spawned four spin-off series over the years and continues to steadily march along in cable syndication. Telltale Games promptly looked to cash in on the Law & Order: LA series last year, but when NBC canceled the show in May, Telltale reformatted the game version of Law & Order: LA and thus, Law & Order: Legacies was born....

Metal Gear Solid creator and Kojima Productions head-honcho, Hideo Kojima, has been dominating industry headlines for weeks - following the recent reveal that the Raiden-centric title, Metal Gear Solid: Rising, had been retitled Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance. It’s no surprise to see Kojima hitting the spotlight, given that fan reaction has been pretty polarized, but as the famous game director calms the masses, he’s also been unveiling loads of fresh details about Revengeance - including confirming that the game will be playable at E3 2012....

Clearly not everybody feels that Modern Warfare 3 has lived up to the hype. It’s still within the first day of release, but the discrepancy between review outlets and players is starting to show, and looks to be even greater than some may have expected. While most reviews from publications and gaming sites are claiming that the latest Call of Duty is among the higher quality games this year, if users are to believed, Modern Warfare 3 is a complete failure....

Catch only a glimpse of this trailer, and you might accidentally mistake it for a new Mass Effect game, what with all the epic sci-fi battles in narrow corridors. Since the President himself is presumably preoccupied with his campaign to save planet Earth from its alien overlords, Keith David takes to the podium to deliver the heart-warming Independence Day speech, which - based on what we’ve seen so far - will be one of many, many movies and games lampooned in Saints Row IV....

The darkness has always been a good friend to Sam Fisher. In his early days at Third Echelon, the iconic Splinter Cell protagonist was synonymous with his matte black stealth suit, dotted only by the green of night vision goggles, and could sneak through entire missions in the shadows without alerting a single soul (though enemy guards likely realized something was amiss after waking up bloodied in a dumpster). Developer Ubisoft has often gone to great lengths, even amid the lush Indonesian jungles of Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow and frenetic action of Conviction, to ensure that Sam was placed comfortably within his nocturnal habitat....

By now, if you haven’t heard of Star Citizen you must not be paying attention. Roberts Space Industries and Cloud Imperium Games Corporations’ forthcoming space sim title has done nothing but impress, and, surprisingly, it’s still almost a year away from release. Of course, Star Citizen’s biggest accomplishment thus far is its crowd-funding campaign, which earlier this week reached a massive $44 million total. What’s more impressive is that Star Citizen was able to accrue an additional $1 million in less than a 30-day span....

In some cases, MMORPGs (Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Games) can find themselves getting off on the wrong foot as the development team behind them seeks to iron out unforeseen kinks such as bugs in quests, PvP matchmaking and the way that the game’s servers cope under the strain of thousands of players. For the most part these things are unavoidable and due to the breadth and scope of some MMOs - it’s in their very nature to experience these hurdles....

It may be one of the most important and influential dates on the annual gaming calendar (only rivaled by E3) but despite the many big budget games shown off or talked about at Gamescom in Europe, the headline that dominated all else was the news that Rise of the Tomb Raider would be an Xbox “exclusive.” Of course this didn’t go down well with everyone. Tomb Raider began its humble, treasure-seeking beginnings on PC, Sega Saturn and the original PlayStation One as one of the first games to have 3D graphics and it’s also regarded as one of the games that helped the PlayStation brand establish itself in the first place....

The next-generation of console gaming arrived on store shelves this past November, and with the new platforms have come a handful of solid games that could only exist thanks to the upgrade in tech that the Xbox One and PS4 both provide. While gamers wait for an additional wave of blockbuster software to keep them entertained, the annual onslaught of sports titles can’t be ignored. Take-Two knows the importance of its sports-related repertoire and confirmed that NBA 2K15 will be arriving this year for Xbox One and PS4, but the company will also be bringing its recently acquired WWE license to next-gen consoles as well with WWE 2K15....

Innersloth’s spaced-themed whodunnit, Among Us, has absolutely taken the gaming world by storm. Its easy to learn gameplay, cute aesthetics, and minimal cost (both in terms of hardware and price) have combined with tense and chaotic finger-pointing to create a truly viral game. It’s the perfect game to play while social distancing, as all you need is a phone and either good lying or sleuthing skills. Well, neither is really necessary, but both help....

The final decade before the new millennium, the 1990s certainly went out with a bang. The Cold War finally ended and the internet became a thing with the launch of the world wide web. It was also a big decade for gaming since it saw the switch from 2D to 3D and the console wars really started to heat up. The 90s were a wild time and it is easy to see why gaming developers would want to revisit this decade in some capacity....

Doom Eternal has only been out for a few days, but already fans have been scouring its levels for hidden Easter eggs. Luckily for them, the game is filled with them. And luckily for you, we’re here to show you the most interesting ones and where to find them. id Software has filled Doom Eternal will many wonderful, intriguing, and sometimes difficult to access Easter eggs that are sure to please any fans of the series (and pop culture in general)....

Grand Theft Auto and Red Dead Redemption II are both made by Rockstar Games, so it could be expected the two series have references to each other. What players might not realize is there are a few hints the two series take place in the same universe. With the time difference between the HD Universe of Grand Theft Auto and the Red Dead Redemption series, there is a bit of plausibility the series are related....

In February 2021, Persona 5 Strikers was released outside of Japan to fan and critic acclaim. This sequel serves as a worthy follow-up to 2017’s Persona 5, continuing the Phantom Thieves’ journey. With hearts changing across the country, the team comes together to help people across the country. It’s up to Joker and his friends to save the citizens of Japan. Atlus’ latest creation is filled with the same detail that its predecessor boasts....

Cyberpunk 2077 is a game that has been released on multiple platforms, old generation and new generation alike. This allowed the game to be highly accessible, but it also made its flaws more prominent and highlighted on older platforms. This sentiment is made even clearer when you compare the game’s performance on the older PlayStation 4 and the newer PlayStation 5. The game is crowded with bugs and glitches upon release, and even up to this day....

Choosing a cantrip, or learning and preparing spells is always an important part of playing a powerful spellcaster in Dungeons and Dragons. A good spell list can help a player come up with smart and creative solutions for different problems. This is a hard task for new and even experienced players, considering how many spells there are to choose from. While many spells are obvious picks because of how powerful or versatile they are, some spells are never considered by players....

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night was released by Konami in 1997 to the Sony Playstation and ported to the Sega Saturn. The game was intended to be a side project and had very little funding with only a small team working on it as the industry was shifting towards 3D games and Konami believed that an entirely sprite-based game would not be very successful. In fact, most of the assets used in Castlevania: Symphony of the Night were re-used from the Japanese exclusive PC Engine CD game Castlevania: Rondo of Blood....

Fallout fans know that the franchise places pretty significant importance on the power of choice. But, as fans of Bioware games like Mass Effect know the pain of, this can create headaches for developers when it comes to creating new installments in a franchise. Up until Fallout 4, the events of the previous Fallout games were, more or less, self-contained. Fallout 76 even calls into question some well-established lore, but let’s not get distracted here....

Crash Team Racing: Nitro-Fueled recently released, and it’s more than just a nostalgia trip: it’s a truly great game. Sure, it brings back memories of playing the original from back in the day, but there’s enough new content (along with the online racing features that we’ve come to expect) to bring the game into the modern day spectacularly. But you can’t mention a kart racing game without mentioning the metric against which all are judged: Mario Kart....
