PlayStation has just announced that it has acquired Housemarque, the developer behind one of the latest PS5 exclusives, Returnal. However, the Japanese Twitter account accidentally shared the wrong image, revealing a Bluepoint Games acquisition. The actual tweet’s text still references Returnal and Housemarque - it was simply a slip-up in image choice. However, the fact that it does have a picture on hand indicates that a Bluepoint Games acquisition announcement is right around the corner....

After a hefty number of Legendaries and Mythicals were introduced in both generations IV and V, the Kalos games took a turn and only contained three Legendaries: Xerneas, Yveltal, and Zygarde. Generation VI also introduced the same number of Mythical Pokémon, although Hoopa has two separate and very distinct forms. Each Legendary and Mythical Pokémon introduced in Generation VI is very different from its peers, and each brings something different to the table....

In the world of Pokémon, being a Bug-Type is often seen as a downside. Many people consider the Bug-Type to be one of, if not the worst out of any other Types. It doesn’t gain many relevant resistances and is weak to some of the most common and powerful Types in the game. Bug-Types are often frail, with low HP and Defenses. However, this by no means the Pokémon is useless....

After the huge success of Pokémon Red and Pokémon Blue in 1996, the first animated series, Pokémon: Indigo League, launched in 1997. This TV series introduced fans to the character of Ash Ketchum and followed his journey in becoming a Pokémon master. Ash has since become one of the most recognizable fictional characters and he has been featured in all of the anime series, animated films, and more than one TV special....

The Fairy-Type was introduced to Pokemon with the Kalos Region in Generation VI. It was intended to help balance out the Pokemon type chart, adding an Achilles’ Heel to the Dragon-Type and giving more value to Poison and Steel-Type by giving them another type that they are strong against. Fairy is also strong against the Dark and Fighting Types. Another major asset of the Fairy-Type is its Special Defense stat. Fairy-Type Pokemon have a consistently high Special Defense, which allows them to take non-physical attacks well....

There’s been a burgeoning sentiment among Pokemon fans over the last decade or so that purports to confirm the series’ slow descent into games built for toddlers. First of all, you - like me - probably started playing Pokemon as a child. Sorry to break it for you, but it’s always been a kids’ game. Second of all, what? I don’t mean to disagree, by the way. Sword & Shield were two of the easiest games in the entire series, while Let’s Go Eevee and Pikachu introduced mechanics to make Gen 1 far more forgiving than it was in the ‘90s - imagine making a game coming up on three decades old a bit more modern, eh?...

There are many different Pokemon that players can use for battle in Pokemon GO. While some of the most powerful ones out there are rare legendaries only available through raids or events, others can be raised and evolved like most other Pokemon. Normal-type Pokemon aren’t usually used in a lot of fights in Pokemon GO. One of the best normal-type Pokemon however is Slaking, the final evolutionary stage of the Slakoth line....

Ditto hasn’t been very important to the Pokemon GO metagame, so after collecting one for the Pokedex entry, most players have stopped caring about the sneaky creature. That all changed when tracking down Ditto’s became both a part of Field Research tasks and a mandatory step on the Special Research journey to catching Mew in Pokemon GO. Many Pokemon GO players have been stuck on the Catch a Ditto step of the Special Research journey for weeks....

Battle Raids have introduced an entirely new element to the world of Pokemon GO and the new feature is still incredibly popular over a month after launching. The Raids bring players together, make teams cooperate, and offer great items and Pokemon as rewards (when things are working properly). That said, it wouldn’t be Pokemon GO if there wasn’t a laundry list of bugs to complain about… Pokemon GO raids are currently plagued by a long list bugs that don’t quite make the feature unplayable, but definitely add a level of unnecessary frustration for many users....

Niantic’s Pokemon GO had an unfortunately rough start, technically speaking. Despite its wild popularity, the game understandably came with multitudes of technical hitches, which simply comes with the territory when defining a new form of gaming experience. Evidently, Pokemon Trainers still love Pokemon GO; and although its fun addictive gameplay is certainly responsible for its success, the numerous free promotional gifts from Niantic have definitely helped too. As with many other expansive mobile games, players have learned to anticipate generous apology packages whenever something goes awry in Pokemon GO, and a recent case of missing Shiny Pokemon has resulted in yet another great present....

Pokemon GO’s late spring and early summer have been full of excitement and things aren’t slowing down this month. As the massive Throwback Celebration 2020 comes to a close in the near future, there are already some very exciting follow up events planned to take trainers through the rest of June. Next weekend some popular Legendaries will be taking over Gyms once again to encourage the use of more Remote Raid passes for a few days....

After a sad March that went by without a Community Day thanks to concerns surrounding the coronavirus, Pokemon GO players are finally about to tackle the Abra-themed event from the safety of their homes thanks to increased spawns and some easy access to in-game items. Although the current focus is definitely on this weekend’s event, it’s never too early to start looking ahead to what might be next… Niantic hasn’t announced any details about plans for May Community Day since the coronavirus situation began, but it seems highly likely that next month will bring another play-from-home safe event to keep players engaged and active while many parts of the world are still either on stay-at-home orders or practicing social distancing....

Prison Break star Wentworth Miller has opened up about his decision to leave the popular drama series. In a new post on Instagram, the actor seemed confidently ‘done’ with playing straight characters, including his long running role as Prison Break’s Michael Scofield. Miller previously came out as gay back in August 2013 after penning a letter on GLAAD’s website about how “deeply troubled” he was by the Russian government’s treatment of LGBT citizens....

Professor Lupo and his Horrible Pets features 100 monster-dodging challenges as you attempt to first escape the Aurora Space Station and eventually, save Earth from total destruction. These puzzles, while difficult, are fairly forgiving with their check points and infinite resets. That is, until the final level. It is revealed, not surprisingly, that you yourself are one of Professor Lupo’s pets, and that each death was not a reset, but a new clone being awoken and placed at the last check point....

It looks like Insomniac still has some plans in store for Spider-Man, in a very “fantastic” form. In fact, that very word was used by a Marvel Comics representative, and during Fantastic Four Week no less. These facts combined make it pretty obvious that some sort of Fantastic Four-themed content is coming to Marvel’s Spider-Man on PlayStation 4. The announcement was made on a Marvel livestream meant to celebrate the start of Fantastic Four Week....

According to Oracle Data Engineer Michael Driscoll, PS5 and Xbox Series X|S scalpers in the United States have raked in $58 million in profits from the resale of next-gen consoles on eBay and StockX. Profits have more than doubled since Driscoll’s last analysis of the market in December. The data engineer estimates that PS5 resales have generated $143 million in profits on eBay and StickX as of January 16. The figures add up to more than $43....

The next-generation of consoles are highly anticipated because of the possibilities that the new technology will enable. The PlayStation 5 has now been revealed alongside information on pricing as well as a release date and many are eager to get their hands on the console. The pre-orders for the PlayStation 5 have sold out quickly and as a result, some entrepreneurial-minded consumers have decided to resell the console for a heavily inflated price....

Who needs to date a boring human when there are perfectly eligible monster boys and girls right there on the big screen? Since the release of Godzilla: King of Monsters, fans have been waiting at the edge of their seats for the upcoming Godzilla vs. Kong 2021 movie. These films are part of a very long list of giant monster movies (also known as kaiju movies) that have maintained a loyal fanbase for decades, creating a pop culture sensation out of these enormous creatures that threaten the existence of humankind....

Made with materials created from recovered marine plastics, the range is designed to highlight the issue of marine plastic pollution and will help fund the efforts to reducing marine plastics to protect oceans and their inhabitants.
