We imagine it’s never thrilling to be recognized for your past work. Yet when you have action movie talents like Scott Adkins and Louis Mandylor on hand, it makes absolute sense a certain type of fan will crop up—and likely need a likely beat down in some circumstances! That’s at least one humorous takeaway from a new exclusive clip of Payback: Debt Collectors 2, an action-thriller starring Scott Adkins and Louis Mandylor....
Although rogue-lites have become incredibly prevalent in recent years, indie developers still find new ways to take on the genre. Ship of Fools, a brand new co-op rogue-lite from developer Fika Productions, serves as a strong example of this. The game displays the action from a top-down perspective, much like other rogue-lites, but it focuses specifically on ship combat. Those of you who had the displeasure of playing the pirate level from Sly 3: Honor Among Thieves, which required players to walk around a ship and man the cannons to take down enemies, will probably find the gameplay of Ship of Fools familiar....

Severance is yet another serial offering for Apple TV+ to feature a high-profile cast and crew – in this case with star Adam Scott on the small screen with the creative involvement of Ben Stiller, who will direct. Apple has given a 10-episode straight-to-series order for Severance, which is described as a “workplace thriller.” However, lest one think that such a design will have headliner Adam Scott in the middle of some twisted genre amalgamation of his run on NBC’s Parks and Recreation, this series will manifest as a character study of sorts, with Scott in the lead role of Mark, a man who juggles his life as an employee of a company called Lumen Industries – which is looking to take work-life balance to a new level – all while trying to put himself back together in dealing with a dark personal past....
All good things must come to an end. After a whirlwind debut and quickly amassing a huge following of fans, DreamWorks She-Ra and the Princesses of Power will soon be ending with its fifth and final season. With the explosive ending of season 4 that near literally opened up the universe of She-Ra (possibly to Eternia?) we would have loved to see the show run longer but more than likely it was always planned to end with this fifth season....
For many fans, the return of Shenmue after a 17-year hiatus was more important than providing a second chance at Lucky Hit. Sure, a lot of us look forward to unraveling mysteries, practicing martial arts, and chatting up locals. Maybe they know some bars where sailors hang out? No, the return of Shenmue meant something more; we will finally see the end of Ryo Hazuki’s journey, and at last have closure....

As expected, the launch of Call of Duty: WWII this weekend has seen a huge swathe of players jump on board the the latest entry in the franchise. Of course, the downside to this have seen many players reporting issues trying to access the multiplayer servers at the same time. As a result, Sledgehammer has announced in a post on their blog that they are temporarily restricting the game’s much-touted Headquarters hub – where players are expected to mingle with others in-between games – to solo mode, and have also disabled leaderboards as a temporary measure in order to ease the server load for actual multiplayer matches....
The series, the co-creation of Bryan Cranston and David Shore, launched on the streaming platform on August 7, 2015. It starred Giovanni Ribisi as Marius Josipovic, a smart, seedy con man who, initially upon his release from prison, dodges a debt to a dangerous gangster (Cranston) by posing as his cellmate, Pete Murphy, using all the stories he’s been told to ingratiate himself to the Bernhardts, Pete’s long-estranged Connecticut-based family, who run a bail bonds business....
This Snowpiercer review contains spoilers. Snowpiercer Episode 7 The cold opening to this week’s Snowpiercer opens up with none other than LJ Folger (Annalise Basso) discussing human nature. Specifically, how to her one of the core tenets of human behavior is to be self-involved, and how the individual person is never the most important person in the world, no matter what they might think. That’s easy for someone like LJ to say, because she’s only important because her family is important....

The first trailer for Sonic the Hedgehog by Paramount Studios hit the Internet just a couple days ago. Fans already had some misgivings from the moment the first piece of character art dropped, hinting at a Sonic design that was, at best, imaginative. Now, apparently the blue hedgehog is getting a redesign. Few expected the electric-furred mutant featured in the trailer. The response went about as well as expected. Social media websites were quick on the punishment....
Sony, after what has now been a full week of downtime for the PlayStation Network, has finally released the specifics about the attack. First and foremost, our fears have been confirmed - Sony is sending out emails en masse alerting PSN users that their account information has been compromised. PSN account holders are being urged to keep a vigilant track on their bank accounts, and have their phones at the ready if any suspicious transactions appear....
It’s been over two weeks since Sony first shut down the PlayStation Network after detecting an external intrusion, and there is still no concrete sign of the system being turned back on any time soon. Many facts have become public since Sony pulled the plug to stop their customers’ personal information being distributed across the internet, and it would be fair to say that the company’s public image has taken a significant beating....
Weirdos who want more buttons on their Dualshock 4 will soon be in luck, as Sony has announced the Back Button Attachment for the controller that can be mapped to different functions. Sony has kept the most consistent controller design throughout the console generations, with the original Dualshock setting the standard for years to come. The Dualshock 4 had some of the biggest design changes to the controller formula, such as adding the Share button and the touchpad, but the basics are all still there....
Inferno, the fiery baddie who made a name for himself as the resident Big Bad of SoulCalibur, will be getting up to all sorts of dastardly deed as the antagonist of SoulCalibur IV, Bandai Namco Games has revealed. For those who haven’t done their homework, Inferno has been knocking around since ancient times, and was the final boss of the first three games in the series. He’s essentially the evil spirit of Soul Edge, and therefore knows how to handle himself in a ruck....

There’ll be a black PS4 Pro replete with matching Star Wars-themed DualShock 4, and a grey PS4 Slim along with a matching DualShock 4.

Stardew Valley version 1.4 is out, but it’s brought a few new bugs with it. Don’t worry, because ConcernedApe is already hard at work getting a new patch ready to clear those remaining bugs out. Update 1.4 hit Stardew Valley on November 26th and added a metric TON of new features, added gameplay options, items, bug fixes, and more. But with every new patch comes the risk of bugs creeping into the code, and 1....

The new library will champion the idea of throwing as much information about your games at you as possible. Valve’s Alden Kroll demonstrated the redesign....
Steam saw 20 million concurrent users on the platform on the weekend, which is a new record (via PC Gamer). On March 15, the number peaked at 20,313,451 players. It’s clear that people aren’t at a loss as to what to do while they’re isolated and quarantined—this might even be a good time to get going on that backlog of games. Expectedly, the top games by player count are all online multiplayer games: CS:GO, Dota 2, PUBG, GTA V, and Rainbow Six Siege rule the roost....
