From the show’s inception, SpongeBob SquarePants has been a beloved and highly-rated children’s animated program. It’s longevity–it turns 20 this year–only proves how much of a cultural force the characters of SpongeBob, Patrick, Squidward, Sandy, Mr. Krabs, Plankton, and the rest of the creatures in Bikini Bottom are. Some, in fact, may be getting their own spinoffs. For the first time, as part of Nickelodeon’s year-long celebration of SpongeBob, the voices behind the iconic characters will show their real faces on the long-running program....

The Spyro & Friends Grand Prix will come to Crash Team Racing on August 30, and introduce new characters, new karts, and new items, and a new track to the game straight from the Dragon Realms. Announced in a PlayStation blog post by Beenox co-studio head Thomas Wilson, Spyro the Dragon, Hunter the Cheetah, and Gnasty Gnorc will be added to the roster of racers as unlockable characters. The Spyromobile and Gnasty Ride are two of the new vehicles headed to Crash Team Racing, and will be accompanied by new decals, stickers, and paint jobs with a draconic theme....

Square Enix has released two TV commercials for the upcoming JRPG Star Ocean: The Divine Force. The first commercial focuses on the story and characters, while the second provided a glimpse on combat gameplay. Since the commercials are of the short 15-second size, both just show flashes, but it’s still nice to check them out if you’re eagerly awaiting for the return of the Star Ocean series. You can watch them below....

This Star Wars: The Clone Wars article contains spoilers. With Order 66 now in effect, Anakin’s betrayal and transformation into Darth Vader complete, and Ahsoka’s life irrevocably changed, the Clone Wars are at their end. After three years of battles that engulfed much of the Republic, only one major battle for the fate of the galaxy remains, as the Jedi make one last effort to defeat the Sith. While Anakin and Obi-Wan duel on Mustafar and Yoda tries to dethrone Emperor Palpatine on Coruscant, Ahsoka and Rex must try to survive Order 66 in The Clone Wars series finale, “Victory and Death....

This STARGIRL review contains spoilers. Stargirl Episode 5 Whereas last week’s Stargirl officially brought Yolanda Montez into the fold of the new Justice Society of America as Wildcat, this installment taps two more members: Rick Harris (formerly Tyler) and Beth Chapel as the new Hourman and Dr. Mid-nite, respectively. On the plus side, it’s great to see Courtney get more kids her own age to interact with and the prospect of this particular group of teens forming bonds and friendships among themselves is intriguing....

When Modern Warfare 2’s Stimulus Package released at the end of last month, two important groups of gamers were left out: PC and PS3 players. Well, guys, it’s almost time to join the party. Today Activision announced that the Stimulus Package will be coming to the PC and PS3 on May 4th, 2010. (PS3 players in Australia and the EU will have to hold out until the 5th.) Riddled in controversy, mired in competition, and beset with technical difficulties, Modern Warfare 2’s Stimulus Package took it all in stride, racking up an astonishing amount of sales on the Xbox 360....

Today Square Enix revealed the first DLC expansion for its popular action RPG Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin, titled “Trials of the Dragon King.” The DLC will release on July 20, 2022 for PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC. It will mark the first addition of content as part of the season pass, including a new job, weapon, areas, stories, and challenges. There will also be the addition of a new “accessories” category for gear....

Deep Silver has confirmed that Saints Row: The Third – The Full Package will be hitting Nintendo Switch on May 10. The Switch version of 2011’s bonkers turf war simulator features the base experience, plus three mission packs and more than 30 items previously released as DLC. It’s, well, the full package –hence the subtitle! Clever, right? Saints Row: The Third was originally released on PlayStation 3, PC, and Xbox 360, and is sort of a transitionary period for the franchise....

Growing up, I was always a huge fan of point-and-click style adventure games. There were so many classic titles with their outlandish premises and likable heroes. They also offered some very serious storytelling that was pretty ahead of the time for the kinds of stories conveyed to gamers. And then there were games like Phantasmagoria. Thankfully, Secret Files: Tunguska is not Phantasmagoria (although I would like to see some sort of follow up on that title)....

Deino is the chosen Pokémon for June’s Community Day - a Pokémon Go event which increases the spawn rate for a specific Pokémon. This dragon-type is quite the rare Pokémon, so, whether you’re a newcomer or have been playing Pokémon Go for years, this is the perfect opportunity to complete Deino’s evolution line in your Pokédex. You can also use this Community Day to find a Deino with 100% perfect IV stats and, after completing its evolution line, turn it into a powerful Pokémon by teaching it Hydreigon’s best moveset....

It’s been anchored for a long time, but Ubisoft’s Skull and Bones finally has a release date for November. The multiplayer pirate game has been on troubled waters for many years, with reports on mismanagement and toxicity leaving many to wonder if it would ever get launched. However, it looks like the French developer is ready. Skull and Bones received a cinematic trailer and gameplay reveal today, heralding in the digital “Golden Age of Piracy....

Dragons were one of the most anticipated features of Skyrim. Fans of The Elder Scrolls series couldn’t wait to explore a new landscape while fighting winged beasts that could end the world. They play such a large part of the narrative that the player character inherits their blood and spirit, hence the name Dragonborn. While plenty of memes surround these sometimes buggy enemies, the detail that went into making them is astounding....

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is an incredible game full of monsters and magical artifacts of all kinds, from majestic dragons and ragdoll-inducing giants to the lowly mudcrab. Each of these beasts requires some sort of weapon and equipment to defeat. The strongest of them will naturally require the strongest of weapons and armor. Throughout your journey in Skyrim, you will sometimes run into certain special quests with extra special rewards....

Slime Rancher 2 is a first-person life-simulation game wherein you play as Beatrix LeBeau. Wander and survive on Rainbow Island and survive among a variety of Slimes by using some Ancient Technology. Ranch a variety of Slimes in your Conservatory and feed them to get the Plorts that is your main source of income in the game. When taken care of properly, these Slimes can prove really beneficial. Apart from a long list of returning Slimes in the game, the developers have added 5 new Slimes in the game....

We’ve now got a name and first proper look at Slitterhead, the first game from Silent Hill creator Keiichiro Toyama’s Bokeh Game Studio. The game’s first trailer debuted last night during The Game Awards. It starts off innocuously enough with a lone man wandering down a dark alley. However, he’s soon accosted by a young later whose head, well, splits and that kicks off an all out monster mash of grotesque creatures, blood for weapons and gore....

Saber Interactive and Focus Home Interactive recently revealed that their venerable off-roading sim SnowRunner is finally coming to Steam on May 18. But, that’s not the only thing that’s happening with the game that day. It has now also been revealed that SnowRunner players both existing and new will get to enjoy the new content of Season 4—the Amur Oblast update. The new Season 4 update contains the “largest addition to SnowRunner yet....

We finally get a look at the newest champion coming to League of Legends, Kia’Sa: Daughter of the Void. Not only are we getting another void character, but possibly the daughter of Kassadin, another champion in the game. Hopefully, this means we will finally get a glimpse into the backstory of everything going on with the Void lore-wise. Not only she is the newest ADC to add to the roster, she will also have extremely interactive gameplay, but require proper decision making to play properly....

I am what you would call an old-school Sonic fan. Yes, a fan. As often as I have questioned my love of Sonic games since their 3D debut, I always find myself eager to see what the blue blur is up to next. Indeed, despite how often Sega’s mascot franchise has run into the proverbial wall of spikes, ol’ Sonic has a way of bouncing back into my heart. Perhaps that can stand as evidence of an abusive relationship, but let’s not get too dramatic — these are family games....

Sonic Frontiers is coming soon, transporting the popular blue hedgehog into a brand new “open-zone” kind of gameplay. This is certainly a rather large shift from previous Sonic Games, and to know more, we interviewed Sonic Team head Takashi Iizuka. Izuka-san discussed this brave new frontier for Sonic, the challenges it created, the relationship with the team working on the movies, and the growing fanbase they have provided the franchise with....

We may not have a release date yet, but Sony has revealed the accessibility features in its forthcoming God of War Ragnarok. It follows on from the likes of Spider Man: Miles Morales, Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, and The Last of Us Part Two in having an extensive suite of options. “Not only have we redesigned our UI to allow for more flexibility and readability, but we have also rebuilt controller remapping from the ground up and added more customization to our combat and interaction systems....
