The Weird Tales From The Crypt Game Show Was Filled With Bad 90s CGI

In the summer of 1996, a Saturday morning children’s game show premiered on CBS. It was hosted by someone who went on to… well he was good here at least. The show was filled with early CGI and had players “interacting” with floating skulls and talking skeletons. The weirdest thing about this show was that…

Apart from his prodigious jumping abilities, Mario’s key defining feature is his hat. He’s been wearing that thing since the days of Donkey Kong.

Back in the summer of 2019, the internet was pushing to get former wrestler Dave Bautista cast in the recently announced Gears of War movie.

Street Fighter Competitor Begs For Mercy, Receives None

Street Fighter League is, well, an official league for Street Fighter V players, one that makes more room for player personalities to shine thanks to its limited format. Take, for instance, a match from its most recent broadcast, wherein one competitor made a show of begging for mercy from his opponent…to no avail. Ryusei is…

Pokémon Sword and Shield’s Latest Expansion Doubles Down On Legendary Pokémon

I captured a Suicune ten minutes into playing The Crown Tundra, the second part of Pokémon Sword and Shield’s expansion pass that released late last night for Nintendo Switch. Everyone knows what a Pikachu is, but Suicune is another mascot of the series, albeit an understated one. While the expansion is unafraid to introduce some…

The Division 2’s Summit Mode Is Now Easier To Actually Finish

Last month, The Division 2 received a new action-focused mode called The Summit. It was good, but some bugs and other issues soured the experience.

A third, a three-part raid called “the Tale of Iyo,” is coming next…

The weekend is for transforming into an airplane. Possibly a truck. I don’t know much about Transformers: Battlegrounds.

I know it’s developed by UK developer Coatsink, which is…
