The full reveal of the Nintendo Switch 2 was largely focused on all the new games you can play. The hardware specs weren’t the focus, but Nintendo dropped a detailed list of what’s inside the Switch 2 on its website, and later provided even more detailed tech specs. Most of what we knew from the original announcement video and some leaks turned out to be true: It’s a bigger, better...
I never thought I’d see the day when Tom Cruise didn’t stick the landing, but here we are. Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning, the second half of the story launched in 2023’s Mission: Impossible — Dead Reckoning Part One, is a high-wire act gone horribly wrong. The stunts are stunning, as you’d be right to assume due to the mere fact that Cruise showed up to make another M:I movie...
In the Minecraft universe, saddles were essentially an ancient technology whose recipe was lost to time. Nobody knew how to craft them. However, that’s all about to change with craftable saddles added into Minecraft’s upcoming Summer Drop 2025. They can be experienced now in Minecraft’s test realms (Java snapshot and Bedrock’s beta and preview). Just a simple three leather and one iron ingot recipe is ushering in a new, more...
There are multiple endings in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, but full stop, before you get too hopeful, there’s no “good” ending. Following dozens of hours of parries, jumps, and gradient counters, you’ll return to Lumiere. This leads to an epic final clash (against someone you can likely predict but who we won’t spoil), after which you’re given a choice — and everything isn’t quite what it seems. You’ll be met...

Younger fans who started their adventure in Paldea and OG Kanto fans alike can view real dinosaurs and ancient life forms alongside their Pokémon equivalents. Attendees will discover how Field Museum icons like...

Biopics and video game adaptations are two perennial Hollywood favorites, and Amazon MGM is combining the two with Madden, which will star Nicolas Cage as the Oakland Raiders head coach and voice of the Madden NFL video game series. Madden will be directed by David O. Russell, who’s received Academy Award nominations for Silver Linings Playbook and American Hustle which means we can likely expect a mix of drama and...
Though it takes place in the same setting as Control, it could not be any clearer in Remedy's new co-op shooter that you are no Jesse Faden.Forget telekinetic superpowers and shape-shifting weaponry—this time you're just an expendable grunt, sent out to do jobs so dangerous that your objectives are more likely to kill you than the hordes of Hiss-possessed ghouls. (Image credit: Remedy Entertainment) During my two-and-a-half-hour hands-on with FBC:...
As the world looks ahead to the fast approaching June 5 release date for the Switch 2, I can't help but look back. Beyond my Animal Crossing Switch (and, uh, my Animal Crossing 3DS XL), I perhaps spend too much time still considering Nintendo's fetching purple lunch box. Yes, it's true—I'm one of those wearying GameCube fans wistfully sighing through every Direct hoping against hope for another Skies of Arcadia...
At time of writing, the Oblivion remaster has generated enough money to buy France. Across the world, the gears of business churn inevitably: someone at Microsoft emails someone at Bethesda to ask, a little forcefully, which classic game they'll be making a quadrillion dollars on next.The answer is almost certainly Fallout 3, and who knows how distant that could be. But once we've found Liam Neeson in Unreal Engine 5,...
