Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions is only a couple months away, and before today we didn’t have a good idea what it really looked like to play. Now, a new trailer teases the fantasy sports game in action, along with famous characters and a character creator that doesn’t seem saddled with franchise creator J.K. Rowling’s transphobia.
I’m convinced that this year’s Olympics are for the gamers. A while ago, a runner who was on his way to the Olympics kept flashing Yu-Gi-Oh cards before his races. Then, the Games actually began with an apparent nod to Assassin’s Creed, complete with rooftop parkour and hooded figures. There was even a Hunter from

With the opening ceremony on July 26 well behind us, the Paris 2024 Summer Olympics are in full swing.

Everyone’s “favorite” looter-shooter Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League shocked audiences when the playable eponymous team…well, killed the Justice League. It was all right there in the name, and for as many faults as the game might’ve had, it was at least always honest. However, that may not be the case anymore, because according to

Samsung’s original Galaxy Flip was the phone that taught me to love foldables. Prior to the launch of the clamshell, devices were big and bulky like the Galaxy Fold.

This week, Ubisoft released a statement addressing what might generously be called a “controversy” about the upcoming Assassin’s Creed game, Shadows. Let’s be real, though.
