Getting a great gaming laptop deal is essential if you’re on the lookout for a portable powerhouse. And Walmart has not one, not two, but three great offerings on Lenovo gaming machines that are real tempters. The best value of the three is probably the excellent Lenovo Legion Y540 gaming laptop which is reduced by $250, bringing it down to $1,049. It’s packed with an Intel Core i7-9750H processor, an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660Ti graphics card, 16GB RAM, and a 256GB SSD and 1TB HDD storage combo. I

The Witcher Netflix series showrunner Lauren S. Hissrich has detailed two previously-unknown deleted scenes that were left out of season 1 – including one that she regrets removing, and another that would have convoluted an already-complicated Witcher timeline. Another would have seen Yen come into contact with a key Witcher character much earlier – a young Triss-in-training at Aretuza. “Looking ahead at some stories unfolding in season two, I wish we still had those scenes!” These aren’t the on

A deceptively innocent tweet from Fortnite ‘s Twitter account might have revealed that the next crossover event coming to the fan-favourite battle royale will feature the upcoming DC movie, Birds of Prey. We’ve already seen collaborative events from a range of games, TV shows, and movies, including and co might be making her/their way to Fortnite? We reckon it’s possible, especially as Warner Bros. replied with “Can’t Wait” and a smoochy kiss…Of course, this isn’t Fortnite’s first crossover ro

The director of Watch Dogs Legion has been interviewed from within the game – a world first, according to the BBC. He was joined by Watch Dogs Legion’s creative director, Clint Hocking, to talk about how the game is shaping up so far. Watch Dogs: Legion. That’s why the developers chose to set the third Watch Dogs game in a post-Brexit London. Ubisoft announced last year that Watch Dogs Legion – along with Gods & Monsters and Rainbow Six Quarantine – has been pushed back into the company’s next f

And it really does feel like the Season of Dawn and Bungie’s new seasonal model are actively removing reasons to play Destiny 2. I play Destiny 2 because it’s fun. But the reason I keep playing Destiny 2, the reason I put in hundreds upon hundreds of hours, is that I want to progress. I’ve been playing Destiny for a long time, so I’m used to killing dudes in caves for hours on end. (Image credit: Bungie)I don’t want to play Destiny 2 to do bounties; I want to do bounties while playing other thin

Since the release of The Rise of Skywalker, dozens of articles have sprung up regarding the movie’s evolution. Then, a galaxy-shifting leak: Colin Trevorrow’s original Episode 9 script – titled Duel of Fates – apparently appeared online. The question that Trevorrow couldn’t quite answer, though, was how to turn Kylo. Abrams’ answer was to bring back Emperor Palpatine – a villain worse than Kylo who the young Skywalker could turn against. Neither is better or worse than the other – but Rise of Sk

To access Half-Life: Alyx you’ll need a VR headset, minimum system requirements that trump the specs of most review PCs, and a living room large enough to swing a Combine soldier. They’ll be pleased to learn that, despite the intervening decade, many Half-Life: Alyx developers are veterans of the Half-Life episodes. Half-Life: Alyx is a new starting point, for all of us.

We’ve finally got a confirmed date for Fortnite Chapter 2 season 2 , courtesy of an official Epic Games blog post. As we previously reported , dataminers discovered the pushback in the game’s API, extending Season 1 well beyond any other Fortnite season. Fortnite seasons are, on average, ten weeks long.

They added that Microsoft’s E3 presence in June is “going to be hard to beat”. Microsoft owns the Killer Instinct franchise of fighting games, so a new reveal in that series wouldn’t be a huge surprise. Is this leak talking about the possibility of a Superman game specifically? That doesn’t mean somebody else couldn’t be working on it, though it would truly be a courageous task – because, again, Superman games typically suck. There’s also the distinct possibility that this particular leak, like

The Sonic movie, which featured Gangsta’s Paradise in its first trailer, now has its own rap theme. Titled ‘Speed Me Up’, the song features Wiz Khalifa, Ty Dolla $ign, Lil Yachty, and Sueco the Child (a Tik-Tok star who is 100% a full-grown adult). The music video starts with Wiz blowing on a Sega Genesis Sonic game cartridge, and yes it only gets more reductive from there. And yes, there’s really more than one Fast and Furious song (See You Again and We Own It). Looks like the rapper has really
