While gamers will not be able to see THQ Australia’s vision for The Avengers in a fully realized state, a new video has appeared online that shows the game in a pretty rough form. Bundled in with concept art, and brief looks at key Avengers members in action, the footage isn’t going to blow the lid off the Avengers film with another villain revelation, but it will surprise you. To say that there are a lot of interesting things going on in the video is a bit of an understatement....

Now, it appears that many players are already expecting big things for Avowed, with some hoping for it to become a spiritual successor to Skyrim, at least before The Elder Scrolls 6 releases....

Player tables always prioritize Healers in RPGs like Dungeons & Dragons 5e for a reason. After all, D&D 5e’s tactical depth can make “ordinary” encounters wipe out unoptimized or underdeveloped party setups. As such, players of Baldur’s Gate 3 will immediately see the repercussions of parties built willy-nilly without optimization into the mix. Moreover, parties lacking a healer can easily meet their doom within the first few rounds. However, the wrong choice of healer can also lead to surprisingly mediocre performance when it comes to combat....

While World War II was once one of the most overused settings for an FPS, many gamers would like to see the conflict take place on new-gen consoles, and so the excitement over Battalion 1944 is hardly surprising....

Showtime’s heartfelt and intimate documentary, Belushi, opens with clips from the comic icon’s screen test for Saturday Night Live. Armed with just his face, he lets those eyebrows steal the scene. They cajole, caress, and careen across the bottom of his brow, culminating in a series of aerobic stretches with a gymnast’s flair....
