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.

Sick of chasing chicken dinners and Victory Royales? Try Apex Legends on for size.

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.

Netflix’s animated adaptation of “Castlevania” is pure bloody brilliance, distilled into two seasons with just twelve episodes. It’s beautifully animated, brimming with stylish homage to the video game series, and it revels in the violent showdowns depicted between humans and demons. It’s also one of the most emotional and vulnerable depictions of familiar characters like Trevor Belmont and Alucard – and, yes, Dracula himself. The gruesome dirge, where an army of vampire and demon soldiers rout

After making players wait what seems like an eternity, Capcom finally announced a remake of Resident Evil 2 at E3 2018. Fans went crazy, and for good reason, because the Resident Evil series was an integral part of shaping the survival horror genre into what it’s become today. As such, Resident Evil 2 is considered one of its best titles. The original Resident Evil was already given the remake treatment back in 2002, with new gameplay mechanics, revised puzzles, and more. Now, 20 years later, it

Going to see The Incredibles 2? You’re probably well aware that the PG-rated animated feature from Pixar is a family movie, or at least it’s meant to be. It’s the long-awaited sequel to a film that came out 14 years ago to a rash of praise from moviegoers and fans alike, and it’s considered one of the best Pixar movies. You may also be aware that people are incredibly horny for the heroine of The Incredibles 2,  Elastigirl. Especially New Yorker film critic Anthony Lane. Lane’s review has been

Nintendo made a number of intriguing announcements at E3 2018, including a brand new Super Smash Bros. game. Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is coming this December to Nintendo Switch, and it’s bringing every single fighter who’s ever been in the game together once and for all (well, minus one overlooked character).

In between sessions of educational PC games that my parents required me to play as a child, I'd swap out CD-ROMs and play a sci-fi adventure called Commander Blood. Timing was all-important, as I had to find the right moment to swap out programs if my father happened to walk into the bedroom where the family computer was.

"You mean you just grow crops, pretty much?" I remember turning to my parents with an incredulous look on my face as they unveiled the latest Game Boy title I'd be glued to for the next few weeks. After hours of The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons, it was such a staggering departure from what I was used to that I couldn't quite wrap my head around the concept of becoming a virtual farmer.

Unrequited love is painful enough, but a passionate affair that blossoms in the shadows is wrought with many of the same challenges. Would you rather watch your love from afar as they meander through life with someone else by their side, or would you be content to reserve every smile, every kiss, and every tender touch for moments during which you know you won't be judged? What's more, how could this be communicated through a video game? Are video games even capable of exploring meaningful inter

Your favorite horror franchise is lying to you. With every monstrosity that bursts through the window in a dark hallway, every jump scare that prompts your blood pressure to rise like mercury in a thermometer, and every room that plunges you into darkness while miscreants attempt to sniff you out, games are furthering a clever ruse fabricated years ago: That terror can only truly stem from being caught off-guard.

Fortnite Battle Royale is one of the wackiest games out there. It’s also a verifiable meme machine, and its latest craze comes from the addition of what could be considered the first usable vehicle in the game: a shopping cart.
