You’ve learned about the core mechanics for Zhang Jue and the Yellow Turbans, and you’ve also weathered the storm as the Han Empire’s armies marched towards your lands. Still, there are several events that you’ll experience as you continue with Total War: Three Kingdoms – Mandate of Heaven‘s campaign. Although the Mandate War will be winding down, you could opt for the ultimate campaign victory and form the “Divine Empire” as Zhang Jue, uniting the Yellow Turban lords under one faction....

This Manifest review contains spoilers. Manifest Season 2 Episode 5 It was a risky move for Manifest to hit the pause button on the Major’s theft of Saanvi’s research and the over-arching death date dilemma, but the confrontation between the Believers and the X’ers has been building since season one — it was time. Plus, placing Olive center stage turned out to be an incredibly powerful alternative, allowing Luna Blaise to inject undying faith into the equation with her impactful performance....

Who is Luigi? The brother. The palette swap. The cringer and creeper, chattering Mario’s name as he quakes and trembles in various ghost houses. All true. But there is another Luigi. The Luigi of the hard stare in Mario Kart. The Luigi who barges you off the road and wants you to know it was personal. And now: Luigi the sniper. Death from a distance. A cool heart and a steady gaze....

Mario Kart Tour has endured many ups and downs during its launch. On one hand, it has been downloaded over 20 million times, while on the other, it has received plenty of scorn for its overuse of microtransactions and overpriced subscription service. The Gold Pass subscription service costs $4.99 monthly and offers some unspectacular rewards, despite the gold packaging. This begs the question: does the price outweigh the rewards? For some, it is hard to rationalize when there are new mass subscription apps emerging, offering hundreds of apps and games at the same going rate....

Marvel’s Avengers will be adding another playable character to its roster of superheroes with the Winter Soldier coming on Nov. 29, developer Crystal Dynamics announced in a blog post today. The Winter Soldier will be voiced by Scott Porter, who voiced the Captain America sidekick and villain in Lego Marvel’s Avengers, and will seemingly be a new character with his own unique ability set. It does not seem like a slight reskin that Jane Foster was to Thor, but the Winter Soldier will be influenced by Captain America and Black Widow’s moves....

It has transpired that Marvel’s Avengers upcoming PlayStation-exclusive Spider-Man DLC will not feature bespoke story missions. Crystal Dynamics has been sharing some more details of the web-slinger’s arrival to the hero adventure next week. Unlike previous character DLC, namely the Kate Bishop, Hawkeye and Black Panther packs, Parker won’t get his own mini-campaign. Rather, Spidey’s story is instead relayed via audio logs and animated cutscenes, unlocked by completing Spider-Man specific challenges....

Today third-party developers shared news about upcoming add-ons for Microsoft Flight Simulator, including an aircraft and an airport. We get a brand new development update and tons of screenshots of the freeware McDonnell Douglas DC-10/KC-10 by Aero Dynamics, including the reveal of the fact that the developer will also release the DC-10 Air Tanker version (also known as “10 Tanker”). If you’d like to follow the project’s progress, you can check out the developer’s Discord server....

The many clones Tatiana Maslany played on Orphan Black banded together to fight Neolution, and this was when it mainly was a belief for people who’d undergone technological enhancements, like tails. The Immortality or Bust trailer follows the man who invented volcano surfing as he rides a transhuman wave to Washington. On The Six Million Dollar Man, Lee Major’s astronaut Steve Austin was rebuilt into the world’s first bionic man. Government scientists made him “better, stronger and faster” through biotechnical enhancements....

I love it when games wear their love for Castlevania on their sleeve. Infernax, a game that was apparently kickstarted with a little more than $3,000 USD, strongly echoes the early entries of that series in terms of style and tone. Unlike the 8-bit Bloodstained games, however, it’s more in the vein of Simon’s Quest than anything else. I got to play a 30-minute preview of the game and, honestly, I very much wanted to keep playing once I was kicked back to the menu....

Treasures of the Aegean, the rip-roaring time loop adventure game from developer Undercoders is out today. We got to pose some questions to the studio’s founder and game designer, David Jaumandreu. We spoke of the time-loop mechanic, gameplay design, and influences that apparently don’t completely include Outer Wilds. The game contains a time-looping narrative very similar to Outer Wilds, and came out long after. Despite the mistaken assumption, we present the interview in full, since it has some great information on what we found to be an excellent game....

This old-school FPS renaissance we’re in has been a treat so far. Almost all of the developers, understandably, made their games in modern engines and implemented retro graphics. That wasn’t good enough for the people at Voidpoint, though. Instead of using a modern engine, they made Ion Fury in the Build Engine, making it the first game in 20 years to use it. While it’s easy to admire that kind of dedication, does the game sit comfortably alongside the classics, or is it just a nostalgia-driven gimmick?...

Developed by Supermassive Games, The Quarry is a cinematic, choose your own adventure horror game where a bunch of teenagers hang out at summer camp in some creepy woods. That’s definitely a recipe for success, and if that premise sounds very similar to Until Dawn, that’s not really surprising, considering that both games were made by the same developer. If you’re wondering whether The Quarry is a sequel to Until Dawn, here’s what you need to know....

Key Points: Who is Jared Kopf? Jared Kopf is an American businessman, investor, and entrepreneur. Kopf is part of the so-called PayPal Mafia, the group of men who first worked at PayPal and used the business experience to positively influence much of their career. Despite the fact that his time at PayPal was relatively brief, Kopf turned the experience into a major one for his career. After leaving the company, Kopf remained closely tied to his fellow PayPal Mafia members, and he joined and formed many companies that had ties to his former coworkers....

It looks like the legendary jokers Jay and Silent Bob are still getting their brawler game from Interabang Entertainment. The new trailer for Jay and Silent Bob: Chronic Blunt Punch shows off plenty of gameplay. This seems to confirm that the game is moving along in development. Kevin Smith (Silent Bob) officially announced the trailer for Chronic Blunt Punch during the Guerrilla Collective live stream on Sunday. The Jay and Silent Bob: Chronic Blunt Punch teaser is here!...

Picture this: you’re enjoying a lovely cup of coffee in the morning, and you’re thinking you’ll just knock out today’s crossword puzzle quickly before getting on with your day. Except, the crossword clue seems virtually impossible to crack and you have no idea where to even begin. That’s an awful situation to be in, which is why we’re here to help guide you through the process and arrive at the correct crossword answer....

Despite the sequel’s existence being a prevalent rumor for many years now, the announcement that a fourth game in the BioShock franchise was in active development was one of the biggest surprises of last year. It goes without saying that fans were incredibly excited that a new adventure in the morbid science-fiction franchise was on its way, but the immediate question was where the series could possibly go next? Luckily for fans, some newly discovered information might begin to hint more about the setting of the fourth game and it seems the title will try to recapture what made each of the previous iterations so special....

Of all the Limit Cut bosses in Kingdom Hearts III Re:Mind, it’s possible that Dark Riku is the easiest to brute force your way through. That’s not to say you don’t need to practice and be aware of his move set, though. In fact, not respecting Dark Riku’s powerful attacks and power-ups is a sure-fire way to get combo’d to death in an instant. If you’ve already faced off against Young Xehanort, you should have a decent foundation for the kind of quick reflexes and responsive attacks you’ll need in order to best Dark Riku....

With the start of November, retailers are already looking toward Black Friday at the end of the month. Kohl’s, for example, is ahead of the game. Today the retail chain released its finished Black Friday ad, filled with 66 pages of discounts and deals. The ad features sales on toys, jewelry, electronics and more. Video games are surprisingly absent from the ad, but video game consoles are featured. Nintendo Switch, PS4, and Xbox One all have doorbuster sales planned for Black Friday....

From today until November 26, pocket monster enthusiasts can take part in the Pokémon Go Global Catch Challenge and help in the community’s effort to catch three billion Pokémon. Developer Niantic has set a number of milestones that, if reached over the next week, will see them dole out perks for players to enjoy. Once 500 million Pokémon have been caught you’ll be able to avail of double XP and six hour long lures, and at the 1....

Sega and Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio have released another new gameplay trailer for the upcoming Lost Judgment, this time focusing on the tools Takayuki Yagami will have at his disposal during his investigations in Ijincho. Tak will once more be getting good use out of his phone’s camera to take pictures during the course of his crime fighting duties, but he’ll also get to play with some new gadgets too. These include a Noise Amp which amplifies distant conversations, and the Signal Detector that will help him track down the source of suspicious signals....
