With everyone getting excited and ready for the new Venom film, which is set to release in theaters later this year,it’s about time to take a look back at the some of the past incarnations of one of our favorite anti-hero, Venom. Originally appearing in The Amazing Spider-Man comic series, Venom has become one of the most note-worthy pseudo-antagonists in Spider-Man. This Symbiote has earned his way into the ranks of all-time great villains, appearing shown in many different comics and TV series....

Season three of Warzone is upon us. The nukes have been launched, the zombie threat eradicated, and all this mayhem has somehow transported Warzone all the way back to 1984. Sure it was fun being a zombie for a little while, but no zombie apocalypse can last forever. Eventually, the nukes must fall (even if a few of them fell a little too early and previewed 1984 Verdansk for some players)....

One of the most anticipated games of 2018 has finally arrived and as players are discovering, Red Dead Redemption 2 serves as an evolution of the franchise rather than a simple sequel. For a game that pushes more realistic aspects including taking care of Arthur’s horse, cleaning weapons that are used often, and even making sure to bathe every now and again, Red Dead Redemption 2 does feature a few fantastical elements as well....

Reddit aired a five-second ad during last night’s Super Bowl celebrating the ongoing saga between GameStop and Wall Street. The Super Bowl isn’t all about football. In fact, a lot of people tune in just to watch what goes down at half time. Whether that be the show on the pitch or the ads on the screen. During this year’s big game, Reddit managed to bag itself some air time in the form of one of those ads, and it used that time to celebrate the ongoing saga involving GameStop and Wall Street....

Persona 5 was a bigger hit than developer Atlus could have ever predicted. The RPG series broke out of its niche and reached a mainstream eye for the first time. With its great characters, engaging story and fantastic gameplay that already has players looking forward to Persona 6, despite little news about the game being present at this time. Persona 5 did a lot of things right and fans are wondering how Persona 6 will be able to top it....

2015 wasn’t the PS4’s strongest year in terms of exclusive games. Uncharted 4 slipped to 2016, and besides Bloodborne and Until Dawn, there wasn’t a lot that Sony brought to the table, relying on high quality third party releases instead. Sony even admitted to having a “sparse lineup” this year, and while that may be true, it looks like the future of the PS4 will make up for that and then some....

Even though E3 2022 was canceled earlier this year, June is still shaping up to be “reveal season” for some of gaming’s biggest names. In fact, PlayStation will kick off the month with a special June 2022 State of Play broadcast that promises to offer a peek at what PlayStation fans can look forward to for the rest of the year and beyond. Now, the PlayStation team has made it clear that their June 2022 showcase will not be their big first-party presentation (what you might call their “E3 substitute”)....

As any avid Pokémon collector knows, catching them all is WAY easier said than done. Though services like Pokémon HOME and the Global Trading System (GTS) make the process substantially easier, many Legendary Pokémon elude many trainers’ grasps. The rarest of these, both in and out of game, are Mythical Pokémon, said to be some of the strongest and hard-earned creatures out there. Almost exclusively reserved for distributing during special events, they have been around ever since the game’s inception in 1996....

As is the case with many of the more recent Pokémon entries (especially once the series made the move to 3D with X and Y), announcement trailers have been much more cinematic and often feature subtle aspects of the game that can only be seen if the trailer is paused for a second. With the latest release of the Expansion Pass, The Crown Tundra, the two-minute trailer races through the already announced mechanics that are going to be seen in the DLC, as well as displaying a few Pokémon that have already been confirmed to be returning, such as Dragonite and Metagross....

Pokémon Sword and Shield’s very first expansion, Isle of Armor, has just recently dropped and fans are already loving the additional content. This expansion opens up a brand new area for players to explore, as well as new Pokémon, new Galarian form Pokémon, new Gigantamax Pokémon, new items, new features, and a whole lot more. Additionally, the expansion pass includes the next part of the content that is available in August, titled Crown of Tundra, which will have its own new additions....

To become the very best trainer in the world of Pokémon, one must be able to raise their Pokémon with love, outsmart their opponent, and overcome any obstacle thrown their way. Perhaps most importantly, however, a trainer must first be able to capture their team of Pokémon and solidify a bond. To catch Pokémon, trainers can use a variety of different Poké Balls depending on the situation. While many Balls will increase the odds of successfully capturing a Pokémon under certain conditions, other Balls are primarily for aesthetic purposes....

Pokémon Sword & Shield will be released for the Nintendo Switch in a few months, and the pre-order bonuses for specific retailers have started to be revealed. In the past, Pokémon has generally had lackluster pre-order bonuses, and the latest retailer bonus from UK-based electronics retailer ShopTo is no exception. The official Pokémon Sword & Shield pages on the ShopTo website have listed the pre-order bonuses for the games. They include a limited edition steelbook (seen above) and a bright orange tracksuit for the player’s avatar to wear as they explore the Galar Region (Thanks, GameXplain!...

Pokemon Sword & Shield added a powerful new type of form for a select few Pokemon that are better known as Gigantamaxing. Only the best of the best Pokemon will get the chance to use these powerful transformations and it is a difficult quest to catch one of these beasts in the wild. Gigantamax forms also come with powerful G-Moves that are unique to their respective forms. This list will show Pokemon fans Gigantamax forms that every player wants to obtain even if they’re hard to control....

There are many different Pokemon that players can encounter in the wild while playing Pokemon GO. Even without considering Legendary Pokemon that are often limited to raids, there are still some more ordinary Pokemon that require a little more effort to find. One mysterious non-Legendary Pokemon is Ditto, a Pokemon that some players found strangely absent back when Pokemon GO was first released. It has since been present in the game for quite some time now, but finding it still is on the tricky side....

Pokemon GO’s EX Raids don’t rotate bosses very frequently, so when they do, it’s an exciting event for the invite only Battle Raids. Thanks to Deoxys having multiple forms, this second EX Raid Boss is having a rotation much faster than Mewtwo did. Starting on December 20, Attack Form Deoxys will take over the spotlight. Attack Form Deoxys is likely a more exciting catch for many Pokemon GO players than Normal form Deoxys and should help bring back EX Raid popularity for a little bit....

Pokemon fever is a condition the world will never truly recover from. Ever since its inception in the mid-’90s, Pokemon has been an enormous franchise covering everything from games to anime, to Happy Meals to sleeping bags - yes, you can literally buy a sleeping bag that uses Gengar’s tongue as the blanket. I hate how much I’m tempted to buy it. Clearly there’s an appetite for all of these things - especially the nugs....
