With Sony Interactive Entertainment recently launching the movie studio PlayStation Productions, which aims to bring a swath of the company's 100+ properties to film and TV, there are more opportunities than ever to find the holy grail: a video game movie that isn't absolute garbage.

Pokémon Detective Pikachu is finally out in theaters, with Ryan Reynolds bringing everyone’s favorite poké-detective to life. The video game on which the movie is based hit the Nintendo 3DS in March 2018 – just about a year ahead of the movie’s debut. You may have already picked it up and played it, especially since it came out alongside an oversized Detective Pikachu amiibo figure. So if you already played the game, is it worth going to see the movie in theaters, or would you essentially be se

It's depressing, but it's a well-known fact that video game publishers and big-name corporations just don't know how to market their products toward women. Let's not mince words here: they're just awful at it. Whether it's a pastel PSP or an ad proclaiming "Girlz Play Too," there are some truly horrific examples that will likely conjure a wicked case of second-hand embarrassment. Despite the endless amount of surveys that proclaim half the video game-playing public to be women, it's still such

It’s easy to assume our favourite games will be around to play forever. When you purchase a title and place it gingerly upon your shelf, you know at the very least you can reach for it at any point in the future, slide it into your disc tray (or cartridge slot), and enjoy a blast of nostalgia. This is generally true of physical media, but hardly ever certain with digital content, which is as ephemeral as gaming gets these days.

In April, Nintendo celebrated the 30th anniversary of the release of the Game Boy. The portable video game console debuted on April 21, 1989, to an eager fan base, and sales between the original Game Boy and its 1998 successor, Game Boy Color, total over 118 million worldwide. The major success of the hardware was tied, from the beginning, to a legendary piece of software: a Russian import called Tetris.

The most popular handheld gaming system of all time is more than just a best-selling product: It’s a cultural icon, a blast from the past, an instantly-recognizable symbol that everyone (even those who don’t play video games) looks upon fondly with remembrance and reverence. The Game Boy is as synonymous with video game culture as the NES or Sega Genesis.

We end up carting around a lot of stuff around with us. Since we end up spending so much time lugging our laptops, cameras, phones, and other tech goodies with us from place to place, it’s a good call to find a truly functional, rugged, and great-looking bag to make this happen—and protect our investments.

We may have "finished the fight" back in 2007, but Halo, the first-person shooter series everybody and their brother owned a copy of, is coming back for another round.

From the moment footage of BioWare's newest video game Anthem surfaced, comparisons were drawn to Bungie's popular Destiny series. Destiny long suffered from player frustration and burnout—even its sequel couldn't resolve its woes—and fans saw Anthem as something of a savior that would swoop in and right all the wrongs they felt Destiny had committed. It would be a "Destiny killer," so to speak.

Typically, when we picture Oscar-nominated animated films, we think of Pixar films, anime epics, or heartfelt narratives that force us to reach for a box of tissues.

We'd love to give a big "congratulations!" to all the women nominated for Best Director at the 2019 Academy Awards. The only problem? We can't. Because there aren't any. Once again, the category is overwhelmingly — and frustratingly — male.

Theatergoers are buzzing about Robert Rodriguez and James Cameron‘s newest film, the relentlessly cool action thriller Alita: Battle Angel. The heavily stylized flick gathers an all-star cast, with Rosa Salazar as Alita and Christoph Waltz, Mahershala Ali, Jennifer Connelly, and Jackie Earle Haley filling important roles.

BioWare’s Anthem game was always going to court controversy. This live-service action-RPG is a departure from the single-player centric experiences that the studio has become known for delivering – Anthem was almost guaranteed to ruffle a few feathers along the way as a result. There is, however, one creative decision that seems to have ignited outrage in the hearts of BioWare fans above all else, and that surrounds the studio’s decision to make pursuing romantic relationships an impossibility i

Kentaro Miura's is twisted, grim, and otherworldly. It also happens to be one of the greatest dark fantasy series ever penned. From its humble beginnings in Monthly Animal House magazine (and later on ) to a 26-episode anime series, three feature films, and two video games, it's rocked fans with its unique blend of epic battles, sword fights, and outright gorefests.

K-pop is a veritable phenomenon, and it's invading the U.S. as we speak. And while Korean boy bands have been making a push Stateside for awhile essentially uncontested — save for a few female-centric acts here and there — it's time for a girl-power takeover. Blackpink is more than ready to settle into position. With a 2019 world tour on the way (including arena stops in the U.S.), members Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé, and Lisa are about to bring their bombastic brand of music to the masses.

In my sophomore year of high school, a friend bought me a replica of Squall Leonhart's "Griever" necklace. It never left my neck, not even after its cheap lobster clasp disintegrated. I always wanted it, like Final Fantasy VIII has always been, close to my heart.
