It has been announced that Shaq Fu: A Legend Reborn will be released on the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC this spring. Following its successful Indiegogo campaign, which exceeded its crowd-funded goal of $450K, Shaq Fu: A Legend Reborn will once again feature basketball icon Shaquille O’Neil in a hilarious beat ‘em-up style game where he will take on enemies as a fighting master. Released in October 1994 on the Sega Genesis and Super NES, the original game, Shaq Fu, took full advantage of Shaq’s peaking notoriety and fame at the time, producing a comically terrible game in which Shaq fought hordes of mummies and demons throughout an alternate version of Japan....

With Mysticism being removed in Skyrim, the main school of magic that delves into altering the environment is Alteration. This school of magic lets its users grab onto objects from afar, light surrounding areas, and even paralyze foes they deem threatening. Alteration can have amazing benefits for any player in The Elder Scrolls series. While it lacks many options for damaging enemies in combat, it offers a level of utility that is unmatched when compared against other schools of magic....

Axes have a limit of a few feet. Fireballs have a limit of a few yards. But a well-placed arrow in Skyrim can hit targets for as far as your gaming device can render them. And if you can do it without being seen, you’re doing it in style. It’s the basis of the popular Stealth Archer build, one of the most powerful setups in the most popular WRPG of all time — but equally daunting for newcomers....

Soul Hackers 2 on PS5 Soul Hackers 2 stands in an interesting position. While it is part of the long-standing Shin Megami Tensei franchise, it is also a brand new sequel to a 25-year-old game. The biggest change between the two games is that while the original Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers was a first-person dungeon crawler, Soul Hackers 2 changes things to be third-person. While I will admit to never playing the original Soul Hackers, it’s certainly obvious there is something here for both Shin Megami Tensei fans and those who loved the original title....

Whether it’s Anakin slicing a pear using his Force powers, or Luke eating from an un-inspiring rations kit on Dagobah (before getting some of Yoda’s stew, which seemed more appetizing), food has been involved in some notable moments within Star Wars. Heck, even Darth Vader revealed himself to Han, Leia, and Chewie on Bespin over a dinner table!
