Dragon Age: The Veilguard: The Kotaku Review
28.10.2024
I admit, I’d grown cynical. Dragon Age has a well-established penchant for swapping out protagonists with each new game, and for treating one entry’s be-all, end-all conflicts as little more than narrative springboards that can largely be cast aside in the next. However, with 2014’s Inquisition,...

Someone Cosplayed An Entire Sonic Level And It Looks Incredible
25.10.2024
One thing to know about me is that I love a costume with a concept. Halloween, when you’re an adult, is no longer about candy, it’s about serving and wowing people with your commitment to the bit.

Netflix Renews Its Tomb Raider Animation, Just Two Weeks After The First Season Aired

Starting a new show on Netflix is always a gamble. The streamer has a habit of just gruesomely canceling shows, even when they have great ratings and are adored by their audience. (Kaos, I’m still mourning you.) There rarely seems to be any rhyme or reason, making it such a risk to invest in...

Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero's Broly's Ring Is Majorly Glitched
25.10.2024
Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero’s massive 180+ character roster isn’t exactly balanced, which fans are admittedly happy with. Helping to offset (or further expand) these differences are various Ability Items that provide characters with helpful buffs. One of, if not the rarest Ability Item is called...

A Destiny 2 Conspiracy Theory Gets To The Heart Of Its Biggest Loot Problem
24.10.2024
