If there’s one way for independent developers to stir up controversy in their communities, it’s by taking an Epic Games Store exclusivity deal. The deals typically guarantee that developers will at least break even on their games, a major concern for those that are just starting out without the backing of a publisher. While the extra security is nice, the developer of the horror game DARQ has revealed why he chose not to take an exclusivity deal with Epic....

The first free game on the Epic Games Store is Iratus: Lord of the Dead, a turn-based RPG that takes place in a gothic and fantastical universe....

Today’s Nintendo Direct presentation brought with it the surprise announcement that Banjo-Kazooie will be joining the roaster of Super Smash Bros Ultimate later today. Fans have been eagerly awaiting the formal launch of the character into the game, following his surprise debut at E3. For the unfamiliar, the release of Hero was controversial at launch, and even today, thanks to the highly random nature of the fighter’s toolkit. This is apparent in Hero’s Down special, which provides a random ability, all of which are useful, and none of which can be consistently accounted for....

Not every crossword clue is made equal, though. Some can be far harder than others and that can lead to you looking for help. Well, you’re in luck, as that’s exactly why we’ve put together the answer for today’s crossword clue to give you a helping hand....

This iZombie review contains spoilers. iZombie Season 5, Episode 10 It’s pretty interesting to watch a film noir-inspired episode of iZombie when Rob Thomas’ other film noir-inspired show, Veronia Mars, is about to come back for a fourth season. Unlike Veronica Mars, or even the earlier, more noir-ish Season 1 episodes of iZombie, “Night and The Zombie City” doesn’t just pay tribute, but often (lovingly) satires the form, making for one of the most effective brains-of-the-week for the entire season....

Today 2K Sports released a new trailer of its upcoming basketball game NBA 2K23. The trailer showcases the appearance of hip-hop dance crew Jabbawockeez, which has a history of appearing during the half-time show of NBA finals, on top of other sports. You can check it out below and compare it with the group’s appearance during the half-time show of the 2022 NBA finals.

Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle quietly became the biggest box office surprise of 2017. Not only did the film win audiences over with its unpretentious charm and terrific performances, but it ended up becoming a Star Wars-stopping juggernaut, spending more weekends that winter at #1 than The Last Jedi. The sequel also earned the title of Sony Pictures’ top-earning domestic film, with its final domestic tally of $404.5 million overtaking the former title holder in director Sam Raimi’s 2002 Spider-Man ($403....

This article comes from Den of Geek UK. This article contatins Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom spoilers. At some point during the pre-production of Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, its screenwriters must have sat and written something like this: “The velociraptor strode across the ballroom floor.” Or, “The Indoraptor’s head crashed through the mullioned window.” Yes, the fifth film in the Jurassic Park franchise comes across not so much as another riff on a theme by the late Michael Crichton as an unholy splicing of Arthur Conan Doyle, Henry James, and Dan Brown....

Nintendo has announced Kirby’s return in a new adventure with Kirby and the Forgotten Land coming this Spring for the Nintendo Switch. The news came as part of last night’s Nintendo Direct. Amazingly, the title will mark the series first fully 3D entry, as opposed to the traditional 2.5D side-scrollers of Kirby games past. The first footage in the trailer shows our hero washing up on the beach of the titular Forgotten Land....

Konami believes that PES can overtake FIFA and return as the industry leader within the next “couple of years”. Speaking to MCV ahead of PES 2016’s release tomorrow, product manager Adam Bhatti explained that the franchise is “definitely catching up with FIFA”. “And we have to be respectful about that,” he said. “We have to keep closing that gap. In a couple of years we’ll clearly lead again. But we have to convince a lot of people....

Shadow of the Tomb Raider developer Eidos Montreal has released a new video documenting the evolution of heroine Lara Croft. The upcoming action-adventure sequel is poised to show how the nimble trinket-pincher becomes the Tomb Raider as she hunts down the nefarious Trinity organisation. However, she wasn’t always so bold, as Narrative Director Jason Dezois reminds us in the footage. Originally, she started out as an inexperienced treasure seeker trapped on an island in Tomb Raider 2013, though slowly gained confidence with 2016’s Rise of the Tomb Raider, which saw her spending the majority of the time alone without the aid of her buddies....

Do you work on a computer all day? Do you often squint at your screen to see the text or icons? If so, it might be time to invest in a large computer monitor that will give you an experience that can’t be matched — from a high refresh rate to a clear screen. © cigdem/Shutterstock.com Most of these monitors have all the best features you’re looking for in a display, whether you’re looking for something for general use or gaming....

Larian Studios is teasing something right now over on their website. When you arrive at the homepage, the site greets you with a stylized Roman Numeral for the number three, just like in the image above. Clearly, Larian means for this to tease the third entry in something. But what could that be? Well, there’s reason to suspect it might be Baldur’s Gate III. Twitter user @kunkken dug into the backend of the website to see if he could find any more information about the tease, and it looks like he’s uncovered the motherload....

The upcoming Plants vs. Zombies: Battle For Neighborville trailer has been leaked online. We knew for a while now that EA was planning on making another Plants vs. Zombies game. We didn’t know exactly what it would be called, but we assumed it would be another console/PC game given how they revealed its existence during an investor call. Mobile games might make bank, but it’s almost a given at this point that they will....

This Legends of Tomorrow review contains spoilers. Legends of Tomorrow Season 5 Episode 9 Legends of Tomorrow does a lot of things really well, but one thing it hasn’t done in a long time is make me pump my fist and shout “HELL YEAH” at the TV. That changed with the last three minutes of “Zari, Not Zari,” and that brief flash came at the end of a really good episode otherwise....

Even as an adult, there’s something genuinely magical about watching the animated scenes of Lego Builder’s Journey come to life. The care and attention to detail developer Light Brick Studio put into each scene and the individual Lego bricks themselves are nothing short of amazing. This is especially true for the PC version, which uses Nvidia DLSS and real-time ray tracing to give the bricks a beautifully realistic glossiness. During a Lego Builder’s Journey gameplay reveal, studio head and creative director Karsten Lund explained that the small independent developer, backed by Lego Ventures, is focused on creative play, which its debut game fully exemplifies....
