Nintendo officially gives a huge Switch 2 makeover to its most underrated RPG

There's been a trend lately of semi-recent titles receiving a Nintendo Switch 2 version and still requiring players to buy it at full price — even if it's already owned. Luckily, this is not the case with Xenoblade Chronicles 2, which is getting its upgraded version on July 30. Its upgrade pack features more than just the visual update, though, promising new storylines and better graphics. While all of these seem great, the Nintendo Switch 2 upgrade will also come with…

HBO's Lanterns gets huge new trailer at San Diego Comic-Con

If HBO's Lanterns looked a little too grim and grounded — and not green enough — for your tastes, a new trailer for the True Detective-inspired mystery series might just change your mind. Revealed Friday at San Diego Comic-Con, the final trailer for HBO's Green Lantern show takes things out of its small-town setting and into space. Lanterns is raising the stakes by bringing a new threat to the DCU: Manhunters.

Splatoon Raiders teaches you how to play Nintendo's shooter game series better than Splatoon 3

Splatoon might look all cutesy and approachable, with its turf wars and stylish squid kids. (And no, that's ink, not blood.) And sure, it's a lot less brutal than Call of Duty. If you jump in thinking the single-player campaign was enough of a tutorial, though, you're in for a rude surprise. For as casual as Splatoon is, it's a sweaty, unforgiving series that happily stomps newcomers into the ground before they have a chance to learn. Enter Splatoon Raiders, a…

Rick and Morty spinoff President Curtis renewed for season 2 before premiere

Rick and Morty’s first spinoff, President Curtis, doesn’t premiere until July 26, when it will air right after the finale of Rick and Morty season 9. But Adult Swim is so confident in the show that it’s already been renewed for a second season. The announcement was made July 24 during a San Diego Comic-Con panel featuring co-creators and executive producers Dan Harmon and James Siciliano along with stars Keith David, Stephanie Beatriz, and Jim Rash.

Halo: Campaign Evolved won't let you boundary break, annoyed fans say

Years ago, Bethesda famously marketed The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim with an enticing call to adventure: "If you see that mountain, you can go to it." But Halo did it first. In early Halo games, it was a rite of passage to try to escape the confines of its linear levels, exploring the mountains and buildings that bordered the pathways you were meant to stick to. So the fact that you seemingly can't replicate this trick in the new Halo: Campaign…

YouTuber Logan Paul’s new Pokémon ploy ends in embarrassment

You didn't think Logan Paul was done trying to artificially inflate the Pokémon trading card game market, did you? After breaking records with a $16 million Pikachu card sale, and a shameless attempt to ruin the manga community, the infamous YouTuber is back with yet another scheme. This time, Logan Paul wants the public to get excited about an esoteric Pokémon collectible from a Japanese magazine. It's not quite working out the way he'd hoped, though.

The Rings of Power season 3 trailer shows Sauron becoming a real dark lord

It took almost the entire first season of Prime Video’s The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power for any rings to be forged and the identity of the Dark Lord Sauron to be revealed. Showrunners J.D. Payne and Patrick McKay similarly took their time in season 2 as they strung along the identity of the Stranger (who, of course, turned out to be Gandalf) and focused on Sauron gaslighting the legendary elven smith Celebrimbor so he could get help…
