The thrilling teaser, while unfortunately short, indicates a season of unfathomable obstacles for the gang....

Samsung introduced a “first-of-its-kind” smart monitor lineup in November last year. The Samsung M5 and M7 smart monitors are called the world’s first ‘do-it-all’ screens. They were initially launched in the United States, Canada, and China and have finally found their way to India today. Now, you must be wondering – why are Samsung M5 and M7 called ‘do-it-all’ screens? It’s because they are not just monitors but can also be used as a full-fledged smart TV....

Ahead of Sea of Thieves’ seventh season of content, we got a deep dive video that introduced Milestones. These in-game stat trackers were tied into different gameplay styles, rewarding players for exploration, sailing, trading, and other activities — in theory. In practice, Milestones turned out to be less than perfect, with a percentage of players complaining about the apparent grinding required to complete them. Thus, developer Rare has implemented some sweeping changes to Milestones, decreasing the requirements across the board....

It looks like the simultaneous filming of seasons 3 and 4 of the FX series Atlanta was no mere coincidence. According to Variety, the Emmy Award-winning show is coming to an end in the Fall after its fourth season. Variety reports that FX chairman John Landgraf announced the news during the recent press tour for the Television Critics Association. Although the news of FX original coming to an end is a dark cloud over the Atlanta fandom, Landgraf assured fans that the new season promises the same surprising qualities that the show has been known for “The fourth and final season is slated to debut in the same manner this fall,” says Landgraf “The new season is everything you’ve come to expect from ‘Atlanta,’ which is to say, expect the unexpected....

Well, that didn’t take long. Shortly after we reported on a tease from Square Enix that showed some people playing Seiken Densetsu 3 (better known in North America as Secret of Mana II) on a Nintendo Switch, Square Enix has confirmed that the Mana series will be getting a collection release on the Switch, but so far only in Japan. According to Famitsu, the Seiken Densetsu collection will include Final Fantasy Adventure, Secret of Mana, and Secret of Mana II, and will release on June 1st at a 4,800 yen price tag (about $43)....

iPhones have had one of the best overall video quality on smartphones for quite some time, and the iPhone 11 Pro is no different. The Cupertino giant has been talking up the cameras on its brand new flagship iPhone ever since the phone launched, and seemingly confirming the high-quality videos that iPhones are capable of shooting, is a new music video from Selena Gomez which is reportedly shot entirely on the iPhone 11 Pro....

Boomer-shooters are the balm of the soul, in my opinion. If you’re having a bad day, there are few things more soothing than loading up Dusk, Doom, or Duke Nukem and unloading on hordes of enemies with increasingly bigger weapons. Serious Sam has long been a staple of the genre for those exact reasons, and Siberian Mayhem is a worthy entry in that lineage. It’s not shocking that Siberian Mayhem follows the genre roadmap either — the game was developed from the ground up as a stand-alone expansion for Serious Sam 4....

Almost there to 180! If you have followed our Sonic Colors: Ultimate Red Star Rings guide this far in, you’re close to unlocking all the Sonic Simulator levels and are just a few steps closer to unlocking Super Sonic. Luckily, with the middle two acts of the Asteroid Coaster world, the rings aren’t hard to get at all. Some might be confusing, but none require much precision or tough platforming. Plus, the fourth act is more like a free space in a game of Bingo....

With Summer 2022 dwindling to its end, the box office buzz of hot summer blockbusters also seems to be fizzing out. Three new films were released this past Friday, August 26th, including Sony’s supernatural horror film ‘The Invitation,’ George Miller’s fantasy/romance film ‘Three Thousand Years of Longing‘ starring Idris Elba, and lastly, the dramatic thriller bank heist film ‘Breaking‘ starring John Boyega. Of those three films, The Invitation so far leads the lackluster box office weekend....

Whether or not it’s fair for Apple to take a 30% cut only further begs the digital question. Now it seems that more are taking notice of how some publishers run their own stores. Sony, for example, is facing some serious allegations due to their PlayStation Store being 100% exclusive to the platform....

Yosuke Matsuda, Square Enix’s president and CEO, opened up about remaking their classic title Final Fantasy VII. He explained they wouldn’t have accepted the project unless his team could surpass the original. That statement remains valid for any future remakes Square Enix plans to do moving forward. Speaking with GameInformer, Matsuda explained they are open to remaking more games in a similar vein to that of Final Fantasy 7. But they want to do it for the right reasons, and only if they can improve upon the original game....

Look, we all know that J.J. Abrams is poised to rule over all of nerd-dom with a benevolent but steely fist. Swearing a blood oath with Disney to helm the next installments of the Star Wars franchise, as well as successfully rebooting Star Trek for the theaters, Abrams has all but been given a Mickey Mouse shaped printing press for his currency. And, normally, officially licensed movie tie-in properties are guaranteed shovel ware....
