Many people were not sure of the direction of this new addition to Assassin’s Creed. Historically, the game has been set in Rome, and various other European locations, but with the dismal reception of Assassin’s Creed: Syndicate, the developers decided to take the franchise into a new direction. The game had yet to visit the continent of Africa, and they more than made up for the absence with Assassin’s Creed: Origins....
Pokémon players have a special connection with their starters. Of all Pokémon, players are most likely to keep their starter all the way to the Elite Four, beating out even legendaries for the spot. Starter Pokémon also commonly show highly ranked in popularity polls and frequently appear in fanart.

Heck, a Holographic Charizard from the card game can go for up to $1,500....

Many theories point to WB Games’ teases and the various leaks to confirm that the mysterious group will be the main villain in the next game....

A fan modification brings Electronic Art’s Battlefield 2142 back from the dead, though only time will tell if EA will eventually shut down the unofficial mod. Veterans of the Battlefield franchise will remember the titan-filled futuristic shooter Battlefield 2142, a game which enjoyed the peak of its success back in 2006. The title was one of the victims of the GameSpy server shutdowns of 2014, which meant that gamers attempting to play the game online were suddenly unable to do so, essentially locking everyone out of the entire game....

This review is spoiler-free. Finding out there’s a new reality TV show format is like finding out there’s a new brand of cigarette on the market. They’re still making those things even though they kill people?

Dutch-Belgian original De Verraders doesn’t use estate agents, but celebrities....
