In June, Justice League star Ray Fisher retracted his earlier praise of Joss Whedon and accused the filmmaker of abusive behavior during reshoots on the DC Film. Now, Fisher has shared new details about his issues with Whedon, including the filmmaker’s alleged role in the erasure of people of color in the theatrical cut of Justice League. Whedon joined Justice League while the film was in post-production after Zack Snyder decided to step away from the project following a family tragedy....

In Red Dead Redemption 2, players follow the adventures of the Van Der Linde Gang as they try to find their place in a newer, more civilized world. However, they’re not the only group of outlaws causing havoc in the West. Many nefarious groups are operating in the five American regions of Red Dead Redemption 2. Each of them has its own objectives, territories, and ways of surviving. As they all harm innocent people, none of the gangs can be considered truly honorable....

In Remnant: From The Ashes you can get guns from either defeating bosses or by doing a good deed once in a while. The latter involves helping out folk from Earth and getting rewards for it. These rewards tend to be guns that don’t need to be crafted and therefore have no special abilities locked onto them. Having guns without attached mods gives you more freedom to experiment with different builds....

Jeff Grubb, a reliable source and reporter for VentureBeat, shows no confidence in FromSoftware’s upcoming action-RPG Elden Ring being featured during Xbox’s Game Showcase this Thursday. Grubb posted on Twitter, “There’s a better chance of a Bakugan than Elden Ring on Thursday.” That’s harsh as Bakugan was lambasted during a weak Nintendo Treehouse reveal event. Grubb has been correct in the past. For example, he was right about the PlayStation 5 Future of Gaming event being on June 4th before it was delayed to June 11th for the Black Lives Matter movement....

During a YouTube livestream on July 11, Felix “PewDiePie” Kjellberg trolled his audience by faking an apology, parodying other YouTubers’ apology videos. He even pretended to cry on screen, with fake tear drops and all. Recently celebrating his 10th year on the platform, Pewdiepie is the number one individual content creator on YouTube with over 100 million subscribers. It’s safe to say that Pewdiepie’s following is immense, and shows no sign of slowing down....

Phasmophobia’s sudden surge of popularity in October and November was no accident. The multiplayer horror game made for a fun social experience, leading to Phasmophobia becoming a Twitch sensation. The game’s popularity has understandably dwindled in the weeks since, as players hoped for further content updates before returning. That time is now, Phasmophobia developer Kinetic Games released a new beta patch for players to check out. To be clear, this isn’t a substantial content patch or anything of the sort....

PlayStation 4 users have unsurprisingly named Apex Legends as February’s best game. February was rather an eventful month for the gaming world, given the aforementioned title’s surprise release. BioWare also dropped the highly-anticipated Anthem as their first foray into the multiplayer universe. That did not go as well as planned, as you may already know, but that’s neither here nor there where Apex is concerned. Respawn’s hit battle royale crept up on just about everyone....

One of the most iconic towns in the Pokémon universe is Pallet Town. It is a place where many journeys have begun. Many Pokémon fans can connect this small town to the thought of a new adventure. It is undoubtedly a nostalgic place. Many tales have started here, but what else is there to know about Pallet Town? It seems like a fairly quiet place, surrounded by trees and nature. It’s so small that every nook and cranny must’ve already been explored....

Wally was one of the rivals for the player in generation 3 and the remakes of the Hoenn games. Players loved this character because he was so likable and nice to the player and was a great step up from the more rude rivals in the previous installments of the series. There are lots of little things that people missed about Wally because he doesn’t have too many interactions with the player and most of them are pretty quick....

The sixth generation of mainline Pokémon titles, Pokémon X and Y, were an enormous step forward for the franchise, being the first truly 3D games as well as introducing many new elements that would become mainstays in the following years. Mega Evolution and customizable player characters are just a few of a handful of new features that would make these games some of the most loved in the entire series. When it came to certain story elements and characters, however, players were left with more questions than answers when the end credits finally rolled....

Completing any region’s Pokédex can be a grueling task. Finding, catching, evolving, and trading for hundreds of different Pokémon is no easy feat, especially when some of those Pokémon are near impossible to find or capture. In Alola, there are a few Pokémon that might give you quite the runaround or will resist being in a Poké Ball until their final bit of effort is expended. In order to complete your Alola ‘dex, you’ll need to hunt down these rarer monsters and be sure to bring some Ultra Balls with you....

There are many mysteries from the first generation of Pokémon games that were created due to Game Freak developing the game with a Japanese audience in mind. One of these involved the sounds Staryu make and how they yell instead of saying their name. In the original Pokémon video games, all of the Pokémon used digitized noises that were limited by the hardware of the Game Boy. When the Pokémon anime was developed, it became possible to use voice actors for Pokémon sounds, which started the trend of Pokémon only being able to say their name (with a few exceptions, such as Meowth from Team Rocket)....

GO Fest 2020 is fast approaching and with week one of the timed research building to it almost over, it’s time to look ahead to week two. Despite the ongoing global pandemic, GO Fest 2020 will go ahead, just not as planned. Well, we’re assuming this isn’t what Niantic had in mind anyway. Past GO Fests have taken place in cities around the world, allowing Pokémon GO trainers to flock together and play....

As a child, Satoshi Tajiri enjoyed catching and collecting insects. One could say the future game designer had a desire to catch ’em all. You can probably guess where this is heading… Developed by Game Freak, Pokémon Red and Blue changed the game! Released in 1996, the JRPGs were tailor-made for the Game Boy, with copies flying off the shelf at an unprecedented rate. Generation I’s titles are the handheld console’s top-selling games, a feat made even more impressive by the fact that Tetris and Super Mario Land profited from a seven-year lead....

When Nintendo released the trailer for Pokémon Sun & Moon amidst the franchise’s 20th anniversary back in 2016, it was hard to not get at least a little bit emotional. The video showed the journey of a generation of kids playing the original Red and Blue games, and getting older with each new entry, similarly to how many of us experienced the games ourselves. It was a wonderful burst of nostalgia and completely appropriate at the time....

Introduced in the second generation Pokémon games, Larvitar and its evolutionary line quickly became a favorite among players looking for a strong Dark-type Pokémon to add to their team, as the other alternatives were either defense and status effect focused or just not as good at dealing damage as the final evolution, Tyranitar. Larivtar returned in Pokémon Sword and Shield, being one of the few pseudo legendary Pokémon to return alongside Hydreigon, Goodra, and Kommo-O, and is so far the only pseudo legendary with a Mega Evolution to return to the game....

With any series as old as Pokemon, there are bound to be a lot of changes over the years, and the vast majority of them have improved the franchise significantly. From the ever-expanding list of ‘mons to catch, to Quality of Life changes that make the games more streamlined and easier to play, there is plenty to cover. Whilst there will always be debate regarding the best games in the franchise, there is no question that all of these changes below have had a positive impact on the series....

As promised, the Psychic Spectacular has added a handful of limited time Field Research quests and rewards to Pokemon GO, in addition to the special spawn rates and Battle Raids. Naturally, the new Field Research is all psychic themed and gives players even more opportunities to earn that gold psychic badge. Niantic hinted that there would be some new Field Research coming along with the event, but as usual, didn’t spell out the exact details of what was on the way....

Team GO Rocket is back with their nefarious schemes in Pokemon GO once more with players being tasked with stopping them. In order to do this, players need to participate in the new All The Higher They Fly special research tasks. Like the majority of special research tasks in Pokemon GO, players don’t need to worry about time limits when it comes to completing them. It is still highly recommended for players to go on and try to complete them if they want to take of Team GO Rocket’s Giovanni....

Pokemon GO Ultra Reward Dragon Week is a thing of the past and Enigma Week is in full effect. Although there is no timed research for players to work through, there are still plenty of exciting spawns, bonuses, and a very interesting Battle Raid lineup. In addition to some powerful Pokemon up for grabs in the Raids, there is also a new shiny Legendary chance that many players will likely want to make an attempt at....
