Jessica Jones gets a new Marvel crime novel series that leans into The Defenders territory

Disney has announced and releasedJessica Jones: Breaking the Dark, the first in a new series of novels that will continue the story of the retired superhero turned private investigator.

MTG Modern Horizons 3 Precon commanders revealed

Theupcoming Modern Horizons 3 releaselooks to spoil players of everyMagic: The Gatheringformat. The third iteration of Modern Horizons brings a massive power creep to the Modern format which will certainly shake up the meta that will develop over the Summer.

Natalie Dormer will be voicing Lexi in Mass Effect: Andromeda

How to date Natalie Dormer Natalie Dormer, ofGame of Thronesfame, will be voicing the Asari doctor Lexi in the upcomingMass Effect: Andromeda. She seems to be the only big name celebrity in the game, at least as far as reveals go. The previous titles had a few famous actors (Freddie Prince Jr., Keith David, Martin Sheen, Carrie-Anne Moss), but BioWare seems to be taking a different approach withAndromeda. This developer interview is neat for showcasing some of the design philosophies that go into creating a character, but it seriously has a lack of Ms....

New Super Luigi U drops an E3 gameplay trailer

Nabbit is still as amazing as ever New Super Luigi Umakes me smile every time I see it, and this new E3 trailer is no exception. It details some more of the game’s 80 courses, with some multiplayer action featuring Luigi, Nabbit, and the tandem ofBucken-Berry and Ala-Gold. If you look closely, you can see Mario’s hat at the 0:29 mark. Weegee might be Tony’s homeboy, but he’s my dawg as well, and I’m really looking forward to the DLC later this month....

Overland is a tactical road trip game full of harrowing choices

At least there are dogs Overland‘s brand of post-apocalyptic North America is especially bleak. There are no simple decisions or easy escapes under the game’s muted sky. You can’t count on things going smoothly. Something will go wrong. Survival is a matter of reacting and overcoming the challenges that arise. That type of hopelessness might be a turnoff to some, but I can’t help but smile after watchingOverland‘s latest trailer. It’s a series of short vignettes that hammer home the violence and hard-hitting situations that make up the bulk of the game’s tactical encounters....

The studio’s community manager, Bucky, seems to feel the same if their recent Twitter post is anything to go by. It’s not very often that a game, especially one from a smaller studio, becomes as much of an overnight success asPalworlddid....
