When Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining (but hardly brilliant) Pearl dropped last November, we were re-introduced to the niveous Sinnoh region and its various personalities. Here, the initial hurdle for aspiring Pokemon Masters is Oreburgh Gym and its Rock-type leader, Roark. Ignoring the fact that he literally gives you a lump of coal as a prize, he is unique among his contemporaries as the only ‘first badge’ Gym Leader to roll with a trio of Pokemon....

The Metal Gear Solid franchise is legendary for a slew of reasons, not the least of which is its spectacular boss battles. Each game comes packed with a group of soldiers itching for their turn to duke it out with the main character. Some of them fight with special abilities, others use good old fashioned guns, while a special select few have their own unique weapons. This list will focus on the latter category, as it details the ten most powerful boss weapons....

In January, Microsoft announced plans for an Avatar-based chat service that would utilize the Kinect, allowing for users to interact with others across the world in a virtual space, via their imaginary creations. While this is a far cry from a real video service, it was a good step in the right direction until Microsoft could implement something a little more tangible. Apparently, that day is today, with the announcement that Microsoft has agreed to purchase Skype — the Internet telephony and video communications company — for a staggering $8....

After 20 movies, scratch that…20 wildly successful movies, Marvel Studios, for all of their crowd-pleasing accomplishments, has managed to deliver us exactly three truly memorable villains (Tom Hiddleston’s Loki, Michael Keaton’s Vulture, and Josh Brolin’s Thanos, in case you had to ask). To use some Marvel-speak, we’re right on the cusp of “Phase Four,” and four is one higher than the number of genuinely worthwhile villains they’ve managed to put on the big screen in the last nine years (they’ve fared better on Netflix with Wilson Fisk, Kilgrave, Mariah Dillard, and Billy Russo, but we’re talking about the movies here)....

A new trailer has been released for upcoming Isometric RPG Encased, showing off some of the gameplay options for those willing to go off the beaten path. While a lot of RPGs claim to offer choice, developer Dark Crystal Games claim its game will fully support the choices of players who colour outside the lines. In fact, they’ve gone so far as to create entire branching paths including endings for particularly unusual playthroughs....

Sony might be looking to offer the option to download and play games offline for PlayStation Now users. Nothing official has been confirmed yet, but a user on Reddit spotted a ‘download game’ option while pausing a title over PS Now. This was clearly accompanied by the following description: ‘Return to Game Detail and start downloading the game.’ So yeah, it looks like it’s happening. Presumably this would apply to PlayStation 4 titles, as Sony’s current-gen console isn’t capable of emulating PS3 games....

The newest State of Play event is already revealing some crazy new games, including a few that anime fans are surely going to adore, and yes, that is a JoJo’s reference.

You can check out the official announcement trailer and description for JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: All Star Battle R below....

If you’re looking for a new general aviation aircraft for X-Plane 11 that’s a great all-rounder, then check out the recently-released Socata TB-10 and TB-20 Trinidad models from JustFlight. Both variants of the TB can serve as useful lightweight aircraft for either VFR short hops or IFR long hauls. They’re capable of flying long distance, have a high cruise speed (120 to 150 knots) and can take off and land on both normal and grass runways....

“Scared Straight” is special for those who recall the first time Kenan Thompson debuted his soon-to-be recurring character, Lorenzo McIntosh. Committed to a volume of 10 and then raising it from there, Lorenzo was an homage (or cackling caricature) of the type of documentaries that aired on 1970s television with the most earnest of intentions—to scare teenagers away from crime—and were awarded Oscars for their efforts. Yet to Saturday Night Live viewers, it quickly became the recurring sketch in which Thompson and SNL hosts as wildly different as Tracy Morgan, Betty White, and Charles Barkley tried to break other castmates (most notably Bill Hader) while screaming the plots of 1980s and ‘90s movies....

ReMind is here! But before you head out to explore the new content, maybe you should pick up the new Oathkeeper Keyblade? It’s pretty good, or so we’re told. ReMind, the new Kingdom Hearts III DLC, has arrived. It actually came out yesterday, but before then, it was preceded by update 1.09, which added some free stuff to the game. That free stuff includes the Oathkeeper and Oblivion Keyblades, which you can get now....

Kirby and the Forgotten Land is perhaps the most innovative Kirby game in years. Star Allies was seen as a step back from Planet Robobot by some, but Forgotten Land puts Kirby in a beautiful 3D space and is among the best platformers Nintendo has released in years. If you’re here, you’re probably wondering about one of the game’s new currencies: Rare Stones. In this guide, we’ll go over how to get Rare Stones and what they are used for in Kirby and the Forgotten Land....

This Legends of Tomorrow review contains spoilers. Legends of Tomorrow Season 5 Episode 12 “Freaks and Greeks” is the first episode since Legends of Tomorrow returned from a pandemic-prolonged hiatus where the real world started to creep into my personal enjoyment of the show. I don’t think this is a unique problem to me, nor is it something that only happens to Legends of Tomorrow. It’s been two months since I high fived anyone other than my toddler or since I stood within ten feet of another person without getting mad about it....

Life is Strange: Remastered Collection, which gathers together fancied-up versions of the original Life is Strange and its prequel Before the Storm, has been delayed for a second time on Switch and is now expected to arrive “later this year”. The Remastered Collection was originally due to launch last September, a mere two weeks after the arrival of the series’ latest entry Life is Strange: True Colors, but publisher Square Enix ultimately made the decision to postpone its release into 2022, citing “the ongoing challenges of the worldwide pandemic”....

One of the sidequests in Lost in Random requires you to do a bit of a barter chain as part of a word sidequest. It’s called “A Reward to Die For,” and you can get it from the lady to the left of the three door in Two-town’s main square. Before you can complete this quest, however, you need to have completed another quest. Little Joe needed saving from several angry robots, so make sure and rescue him....

UPDATE – June 19: Both the original Marvel Ultimate Alliance and Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 have now been rated for PS4 and Xbox One by European ratings board PEGI, suggesting a release could be imminent.
