Calling all Pokémon trainers! Looks like Hollywood is planning to take audiences on an adventure back to Pallet Town. According to a new report from We Got This Covered, Legendary Entertainment is gearing up to work on two new possible films set in the Pokémon universe, starting with a focus on the enigmatic psychic Pokémon, Mewtwo, and another based off of the original video games, Pokémon Red and Pokémon Blue. At this time, it is currently unclear if the plot of either film will be related to one another, or Legendary’s upcoming film, Detective Pikachu....

The wait for another Superman game could be over at long last. With so much speculation swirling around what form the next Batman game will take, news about other DC heroes is bound to percolate. This latest tidbit is a scoop that Clark Kent would love to get into the pages of the Daily Bugle, but concrete information on anything Superman-related remains hard to come by. Rocksteady has been linked to the project in the past, but every rumor about an upcoming game for the original DC hero is shot down just as quickly....

Run, a 7-episode half-hour HBO comedic thriller series, might just prove to be the kind of raucously random flight of fancy—with just enough of a cynical edge— that the world could use right now. Vicky Jones created the series. A script editor for Phoebe Waller-Bridge on Fleabag and Crashing, Jones also serves as writer and executive producer here. Of course, Waller-Bridge herself is onboard as an executive producer, and even fields an eccentric recurring role....

Square Enix has released a seven minute gameplay trailer ahead of next week’s release of SaGa Frontier Remastered. An enhanced version of the classic 1997 PlayStation JRPG directed by Final Fantasy veteran Akitoshi Kawazu, the Remaster includes not only a modern graphical upgrade, but also new features including an entire new protagonist in Fuse with an entire story chapter dedicated to him, as well as new events for the existing seven heroes each of which have their own goals and endings which can be played in almost any order....

In the alternate worlds of Fringe or Devs, you’d not have passed a bus stop or billboard last year that didn’t advertise a little upcoming movie called Avengers: Endgame, the culmination of over a decade’s worth of cinematic Marvel storytelling that brought together the original MCU Avengers for one final battle against Thanos. Of course, we would lose two of our major players during the events that unfolded, including Robert Downey Jr as Iron Man, and Emily Blunt’s Black Widow, who sacrificed herself for the Soul Stone on Vormir....

Sea of Stars developer Sabotage Studio released another of its traditional clips of its upcoming RPG following about a month of hiatus. The video is quite brief as usual, and it lets us take a look at the ability to timely block enemy attacks reducing damage. You can watch the clip below. The charming and highly-anticipated RPG inspired by JRPGs is coming to PS5, PS4, Nintendo Switch, and PC. The game was supposed to be released this year during the Holiday season, but will instead launch in 2023 following a recent delay....

Netflix sent out a whole slew of new character shots from its upcoming adaptation of The Witcher yesterday. Henry Cavill is taking the role of Geralt of Rivia, and he’s sporting game-accurate gear in the shots. Also joining him are the sorceress Yennefer and Ciri. There are, however, a few things that feel a bit off about the characters, but nothing too awful. For the most part, Cavill looks like a man who got himself lost while during a LARP....

The Sega Genesis Mini 2 is heading to North America this October. The mini retro console was revealed to Japan last month, with a release date of 27th October. That’s now confirmed for North America too. There’s no confirmed release date yet for Sega fans in other countries - presumably the name will be changed to Mega Drive Mini 2 as well. Watch on YouTube Sega Genesis Mini 2 | Promotional Video...

What we have seen from Microsoft’s high-tech motion camera, Kinect, may have some of you worried that the Xbox 360 is refocusing on the casual market. According to SEGA that thought should be rendered null and void. CVG recently conducted an interview with SEGA West President Mike Hayes, and Hayes says that the hardcore gamers were being a “little harsh” towards Kinect. At next year’s E3 we should look forward to seeing more “clever and sophisticated” use of the new technology....

The latest outing sees her on the hunt for a Mayan relic in Latin America, only to accidently set off an apocalyptic event....

She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, the latest MCU streaming show, has already been targeted by people online, despite not even being released yet.

When looking at IMDb though, the series only stands at a shocking 4.2/10, with 407 users giving their input, many of whom have presumably not even seen the first episode yet....

The road to Shenmue 3 has been a very dramatic one for backers who have been involved in the project since day one. It feels like ages ago that the Shenmue team took the stage at E3 and asked for crowdfunding support to bring the game to life, but the release is finally just around the corner. Before the official launch arrives in November, some lucky backers still need to get their trial version reward....

There’s no reason to mince words. Shin Megami Tensei III has remained one of the best JRPGs in existence since its release. Shin Megami Tensei III Nocturne HD Remaster is the second time Sega has ported an older SMT game to PC. But, there’s a major difference that changes how I’d go about recommending it. To compare, Persona 4 Golden‘s port didn’t release across major consoles. Even more, it was $20 USD....

As part of the lead-up to the highly anticipated new series Star Trek: Picard, the fictional universe has teased that a massive disaster on the planet Mars sets into motion a chain of events that will profoundly impact Jean-Luc Picard.

This Siren review contains spoilers. Siren Season 3 Episode 7 The world of Siren is mostly confined to the small coastal town of Bristol Cove, and though we’ve spent more time this season in the water, the view on land has been much of the same. “Northern Exposure” finally takes us to a new place and introduces us to another clan of mermaids. This episode does a lot to move the story forward, perhaps too much, too quickly....

Eighteen year-old MKLeo’s career as a top professional Super Smash Bros. Ultimate player may already be one for the esports history books. A recent Reddit post by user HollowLoch has helped to quantify just how impressive his past season’s accomplishments have been.
