And if you missed the premiere, you’ve probably been wondering why the internet has been flooded with talk about bringing back a McDonald’s dipping sauce from 19 years ago. But Rick himself reveals in the final moments of the episode that it’s all so he can get another taste of the Szechuan dipping sauce McDonald’s carried as part of a tie-in promotion with the Disney movie Mulan. @RickandMorty McNugga Lubba Dub Dub. 👀April 2, 2017Again, for those of you just joining this hype train, “Wubba lubb

The latest update for Mass Effect: Andromeda includes a tweak to the way the game renders eyes for both humans and asari (the latter of whom have human-looking eyes despite their head tentacles) and, man, just that little change makes a world of difference. The above side-by-side image was put together by Reddit user AC5L4T3R, and you can see a video comparison below.

Remember that news about Sylvester Stallone being cast in Guardians of the Galaxy 2? But an alleged press release sent to Italian website Movie Book has the answer. Considering that we haven’t seen Stallone in costume yet, it’s possible Marvel and director James Gunn want this to be a surprise. Uno dei comunicati stampa di #GuardiansOfTheGalaxy in cui #SylvesterStallone è indicato come #Stakar (#Starhawk)! #Marvel #GotGVol2 pic.twitter.com/jKb6u2BHHoApril 5, 2017In case you can’t read Italian, t

The full technical specs for Xbox Scorpio are now out there, and the internet is still figuring out what to make of them. And this is what tends to happen when non-technical people (like myself) try to interpret what words like “teraflops” mean for gaming. Scorpio looks good spec wise but xbox really need some strong exclusives to sell that console compared to what PS have already announced.April 6, 2017XBX Scorpio is basically the PS4 Pro but done right. Unfortunately, we’ll probably have to wa

Holden and the others finally discover the hideout and engage in a brief firefight that leads to Amos getting shot, again. It’s always Amos getting shot. Someone tosses a grenade into the room, and Amos, being Amos, scoops it up and tosses it right back out the door. Amos is interesting, but he’s more interesting in contrast with Alex or Holden. The Expanse has quietly been making you care about this crew as a family unit, and you feel the loss when that unit divides.

Two years ago, Activision announced the formation of an in-house studio dedicated to turning company-owned properties into movies and television shows. In an interview with The Guardian, Activision Blizzard Studios co-presidents Stacey Sher and Nick van Dyk shared some of their plans. There are the ultra-grim Modern Warfare games, and the more action movie-esque, let’s-not-take-this-too-seriously Black Ops series. If Activision really wants to follow Marvel’s lead on this, there needs to be a si

We may not get as many demos as we used to back in the day – you know, when they came on discs attached to magazines – but at least when we do, they’re pretty good. Case in point: a “free trial” for Dishonored 2 lets you play the first three missions of the campaign as either Emily Kaldwin or Corvo Attano. The demo is available now on PS4, Xbox One, and PC. All you need to do is head to your platform’s respective digital storefront, download the free trial, and enjoy. Demos may not come on discs

We now have some firm Xbox Scorpio specs via Eurogamer’s Digital Foundry, so how does it stack up against Sony’s PS4 Pro? Xbox Scorpio vs PS4 Pro – specsHere are the spec for Scorpio and Pro, or at least the ones we can compare directly. Xbox Scorpio vs PS4 Pro – 4KAccording to the report PS4 Pro has been clever with “checkerboarding, advanced anti-aliasing techniques, temporal super-sampling and dynamic resolution” to make sub-4K outputs look okay, without being true ultra HD. Xbox Scorpio vs P

Captain America actor Chris Evans is nearing the end of his contract with Marvel, but he says he’s not the one that fans should be most worried about right now. “Downey is far closer to reaching that point where he may walk away,” Evans explained. “And I don’t know how you replace Downey as Tony Stark. Spider-Man: Homecoming will mark the roughly billionth MCU appearance for Downey as Tony Stark, this time as a mentor / absent-father-figure to a teenage Peter Parker. Back in 2011, Evans told Tot

Graceful Explosion Machine is the gaming equivalent of empty calories. Playing Graceful Explosion Machine is like guzzling down a bunch of candy. Ok, that metaphor got away from me by the end there, but that’s Graceful Explosion Machine in a nutshell. Graceful Explosion Machine takes many of its cues from arcade classic Defender or modern spins like Resogun. All the while, Graceful Explosion Machine envelops you in this colorful, candy-coated shell.

If you haven’t gathered this from the title of this article by now, Everything is based around the concept that you can be anything in its world. Rolling around as one object before deciding to either ascend to a bigger thing (trees, buildings, planets) or descend into a smaller thing (plant matter, atoms, or even time/space units), collectophiles will love it. I decided to roll up my sleeves and test just how many things I could be. Let’s start with the basics: a tree on an alien planet. An ali

Masterfully balances the needs of old and new players alike – but online teething problems are a curveball Sony has to overcome for the game to truly prosper. As such, ‘fancy some virtual swinging?’ is a question loaded with similar commitment to ‘marriage, darling?’ or ‘shall we adopt a hamster?’. I’ve been playing digitised baseball against friends since Triple Play on PS1, but all have abandoned the sport of late, citing modern games’ complexities.

Far better for The Walking Dead to end with that though

The Star Wars Rebels series, Rogue One and numerous supporting books are gently reinforcing the idea that the gray Force is a thing. Plus, there are rumours that Luke Skywalker wears gray Jedi robes in Star Wars 8 with a Sith-like shawl. It does tie back into some of George Lucas’ very early ideas for Star Wars. Is the Luke the refined Jedi mentioned “resolving the gray?” Has he become a gray Jedi? Pablo Hidalgo, who has been the lore master for Star Wars, tweeted this:I don’t get the ‘gray Jedi

In a world built from uncertain memories and warped perceptions, it’s hard to know what’s going to happen next. Overall, if anything, it’s made him more evil, but you can kind of see where he’s coming from. At the end of the day this is just about separate groups of people afraid of what’s different. Nearly every key character has a potential death teased but they all recover at the end. “Where shall we look first?” says Oliver, now possessed by the Shadow King, as they drive off together.

Bobbie really did see someone without a vac suit on the surface of Ganymede – that blue husk creature is the weapon created by Project Caliban. Restraint is something that doesn’t get enough praise on television, but Bobbie’s first sight of the sea is absolutely perfect. Violence doesn’t bother Amos; it bothers him that it doesn’t bother him, but he’s not ‘good’ like Naomi and Holder are. But it’s yet another example of The Expanse showing restraint in its storytelling. Amos doesn’t tearfully re

To give recognition to that aspect of the creative process, we’ve put together a list celebrating some of the best titles in video game history. So please, enjoy the poetry and prose of these, 13 of the best game titles ever. DoomThere are few game titles as in-your-face as “Doom,” or if we’re going with the stylized spelling, “DOOM.” – Matt ElliottSam & Max Beyond Time And Space Episode 2 – Moai Better BluesHow many game titles manage to simultaneously suggest pulp sci-fi, enigmatic stone heads

Deploying a pun is like wielding a dangerous weapon: if you’re not careful, you could severely harm yourself or even end up dead. You can put all the brainpower and impressive vocabulary you like into a pun, but it’ll inevitably make someone reflexively groan – which is why punnery seems like an odd way to go when deciding what to call your game. Regardless, some developers made a name for their games with truly punny titles, and it’s time we appreciated their efforts at witty wordplay. Here are

When I picked my Nintendo Switch up out of its dock only to find it locked on an error screen, I wasn’t too worried. After soft rebooting the console by tapping the power button, though, the same non-descript error message popped up. With this letter explaining, yes, we wiped all your Zelda data. “At least it’s a massive game,” he said, taking down my message for Nintendo, a message I almost certainly won’t get a response to. I’ve purchased a Nintendo console at launch ever since I had my first
