I didn’t expect to get married during Tokyo Game Show. Apparently inspired by a mobile game called Standing On My Heels, the carousel enticed me not just with its unique decor, but with the promise of a free makeover. This scene drew inspiration from a historical game called Samurai Love Ballad. You may think that I married him after this, but that’s not how Samurai Love Ballad works. No, Voltage had a separate marriage game for me to play, and it was the most popular one of all.

South Park and Kanye West have a long history, but the latest trailer for South Park: The Fractured But Whole takes things to a new level: mocking West’s late mother, Donda WestThe trailer recalls an episode from the show’s 13th season in 2009. This isn’t the first time that South Park creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker have poked fun at Only One.

Gal Metal, a heavy metal rhythm game heading to Nintendo Switch, has all the makings of the console’s first success in the genre. But going hands on with Gal Metal during Tokyo Game Show left me feeling like its promise had been squandered on some outdated motion control mechanics. Produced by Tak Fujii of former Konami fame (and E3 infamy), Gal Metal comes off at first as more of a visual novel than a traditional rhythm game. Remember Wii Music, or other Wii games that had you shaking the Wii R

Each one had a strong team from a major region that seemed destined to advance from the moment their names were drawn. With the largest team in the group, Hong Kong Attitude, representing the first ever LMS third seed to be sent to Worlds, their presence isn’t exactly the same as that of the other major regions. With no clear winner, and no obvious stand out team, it’s easy to get excited about just how strange the results from Group D could get. Who will win the group: Hong Kong AttitudeWhile t

With hype for the Overwatch League slowly building, we now have two concrete pieces of information: first, that the preseason will begin on December 6th at the new Blizzard Arena in Burbank, and two: we now know every founding member of the Overwatch League. After months of the Overwatch League being largely hyped from the shadows, we now have solid details and a starting date on the calendar. Speaking to these key players gives us a clearer idea of what the best-case Overwatch League could look

In each episode of Quality Control, a Polygon editor talks to a critic after they review a new game, movie or piece of gear and allows them to add a little bit of extra context and insight. Why did they feel the way they did? What do they wish they had been able to discuss in more depth in their review? This week, Polygon’s Samit Sarkar joins editor-at-large Justin McElroy to discuss his review of Destiny 2, which you can read right here. Email: qualitycontrol at polygon dot comMusic: “Goodwill”

Evil Morty was introduced in “Close Rick-Counters of the Rick Kind,” when Rick is kidnapped by a gaggle of other Ricks. The inclusion of Evil Morty as more than a one-off character this episode has bigger implications than just a throwback for longtime Rick and Morty fans. Bringing Evil Morty into the mix gives Rick and Morty something outside of their toxic relationship and their family issues to focus on. Referencing Evil Morty would have been fine as a joke; a treat for those who have been wa

More PUBG That story you just started reading is one part of our three-part Battlegrounds special. On July 22, Elevate hired a PUBG team of no-name players pulled from the community tournament circuit. The PUBG Invitational recruited some of the most prominent teams in the game, as well as a handful of miscellaneous influencers. Dinh is confident that Bluehole will tweak things to make the pro PUBG experience better for the audience in the future. Taking all this into account, I asked Chang if h

If that remains true in Leviathan and the final boss has a recommended power level of 300, your guardian with a 265 power level is going to be a serious liability. Your odds of finding a group that will finish the raid if your power level is below 270 are very low. The grindThe power level of your item drops is determined by the power level of your character’s current gear. These items will be five power levels above your current power level, up to 265. If it does, that means the item’s base pow

Wein died on Sunday, Sep. 10, at the age of 69. It’s understandable that tributes to Wein would lead with his most famous creation, Wolverine, who first appeared as an antagonist in Wein’s The Incredible Hulk #180-181. Gerry Conway is a Brooklyn native and another fan-turned comics writer; in his statement on Wein’s death, he confesses that he’d known Wein since the latter was 14. But his work for Marvel Comics is perhaps his most famous. Co-created Wolverine & the new X-men.

Yorick is getting a new skin after many years of waiting. He’s getting an Arclight skin, matching Vel’Koz, Varus and Vayne. This is the first new Yorick skin since 2011 when he received the Pentakill and Undertaker skins. There has been an outcry for a new Yorick skin for many moons. Yorick’s rework came around approximately one year ago, so this new skin feels just right.

When Lucasfilm confirmed last week that Colin Trevorrow was out as the director of Star Wars: Episode IX, it didn’t take long to ask the logical followup question: Who would replace him? “It was never in the plan for me to direct Episode IX,” Johnson said. Naturally, there is always a chance that another director who hasn’t worked with Kennedy or on a Star Wars project will be brought on. Since Episode IX isn’t currently filming, there is some leeway for Lucasfilm to find a new director. The nex

Ever since Game of Thrones first debuted in 2011, the show has been nominated every single year. Game of Thrones seventh season premiered on July 16, 2017. Even though Game of Thrones’ sixth season still had episodes air within those particular dates, the Academy does not count the “hanging episodes.” Those final four episodes of the sixth season are therefore invalid. HBO knew that it was going to have to premiere Game of Thrones later than usual because of storyline developments. That’s why th

After months of negotiations, Variety is reporting that Petty Jenkins will return to direct the Wonder Woman sequel. In June, Variety reported that Jenkins was working with DC’s Geoff Johns to develop a script for the sequel. Jenkins will reunite with Gal Gadot, the actress who played Wonder Woman in the stand-alone film and Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Jenkins was paid $1 million for her directing duties on Wonder Woman. The Wonder Woman sequel, which doesn’t have a name at this time, is

Picture this: You’re watching a horror movie. (You know they’re in a horror movie. Horror characters should know better. Horror characters should definitely know better, but kids don’t know better. The film elegantly makes this subtext into text, pointing out that the things adults fear differ greatly from the things children fear, and this is why Pennywise prefers hunting children over adults.
