X-Men Origins: Wolverine will forever be remembered as the right cross of a one-two punch that, coupled with X-Men: The Last Stand, nearly buried the credibility of the X-Men movie franchise. Not even I, superhero movie apologist that I am, can sit here and tell you that this is a particularly good film. That being said, I came not to bury X-Men Origins: Wolverine (the internet has already done a fine job of that over the last however many years), nor to praise it....

Wii Sports has suddenly surged in popularity and price on resale sites, possibly owing to the imposed lockdowns and quarantines in place around the world (via Nintendo Life). Earlier this year, the Switch’s exergame, Ring Fit Adventure, saw a similar situation. People quarantined in China were snapping up copies of the game through grey markets, because the game is not officially distributed in the country. The demand caused the price to skyrocket in a few weeks, from $85 to $260....

Winning a championship may be proof of skill especially when it comes to League of Legends, but it isn’t necessarily proof of strength. After winning the League Of Legends Grand Championship, Lin “Lwx” Wei-Xiang, FunPlus Phoenix’s bot laner, struggled to lift the trophy before stepping away and letting the rest of the team do the heavy lifting. Following the Chinese-Korean squad’s victory of 3-0 over G2 Esports, Lwx tried to lift the cup while confetti rained down from the ceiling....

Professor Marvel’s crystal ball probably didn’t predict that the Avengers could go on to star in The Wizard of Oz, but a deepfake called The Avengers of Oz, posted back in March by NextFace, manages to get the job done. The clip, which re-imagines the classic 1939 musical fantasy film using deepfake tech, casts Tom Holland as Dorothy, Robert Downey Jr as Scarecrow, Chris Pratt as Tin-Man and Chris Hemsworth as the Cowardly Lion, roles that were originally played by Judy Garland, Ray Bolger, Jack Haley and Bert Lahr respectively....

Does size matter? If so, consider playing a Tauren, the largest race in World of Warcraft: Classic. Despite their massive size and somewhat awkward, slow-looking run, Tauren are creatures who strive to serve nature, wanting balance in all things related to the elements. They also make for excellent Warrior tanks and are the only race capable of being Druids for the Horde. Lore The Tauren call the barrens of Kalimdor home, and are led by their chief, Cairne Bloodhoof....

As someone who is not necessarily drawn to the genre of racing games - most likely due to the fact that I’m just not very good at them - any games with racing features are, by default, compared to the races of Grand Theft Auto Online, or even Mario Kart 64. Fortunately, Wreckfest comes as a delightful surprise that successfully toes the line between a classic racing title for racing enthusiasts, while catering to a more casual audience more interested in wreaking havoc on opponents....

Kenny Omega is one of the hottest professional wrestlers on the planet, and an executive vice president at start-up promotion All Elite Wrestling. He likes games, too. And it sounds like he’s found a wonderful way to marry both business and pleasure in Apex Legends. Speaking to Kotaku over E3, Omega said that he talks business with some whilst playing EA’s battle royale game: ‘we’ll squad up, join a party and we’ll talk all the business you want while we play....

Xbox Game Pass reveals the winners of its first Xbox Game Pass Awards which allowed fans to vote on a series of silly categories.

There were four categories in the Xbox Game Pass Awards 2019 and all of them are ridiculous....

Shenmue 3 stormed past its funding goal of $2 million this morning, meaning PS4 and PC gamers can look forward to the game many have been longing for. Answering the question, Will there be an Xbox/Wii U/Linux/Mac version for Shenmue 3? the developer replied: “Currently we are planning development only for PC (Windows) and PS4. Other platforms have not been decided yet.” Not decided yet is certainly a lot more promising that only ever coming to PS4 and PC....

A number of Xbox One users have been circulating a strange error message they received that references My Little Pony. Posted by Redditor TechGuruGJ on the Xbox One subreddit (who also Tweeted it at Xbox’s corporate VP Mike Ybarra), the message is obviously a test placeholder that was never meant to go live, but it reveals Xbox has at least one Brony behind the scenes. Nobody can figure out what error it’s responding to, but after TechGuru posted it more users came out of the woodwork to confirm they’d been getting it too....

FPS Boost games are nothing but all the games which have received a boost in their FPS. If you played the games on this list on their original console, you must have felt some sort of lag or a rather low frame rate due to their Hardware limitations. But thanks to the FPS Boost you can play these games like they were made for today’s consoles. So without further ado, let us take a look at all the Xbox FPS Boost Games list....

The Xbox Series X will feature audio ray tracing, which boosts the realism of the experience in combination with lighting and reflective effects (via WccfTech).

With the recent Nintendo Direct and just under three weeks to go until the launch of Xenoblade Chronicles 3, the hype for this game is approaching its climax. Even though Nintendo has been happy to share tons of information with the public, there’s plenty more that’s new and familiar for fans of the franchise to dig into. First off, the battle system in Xenoblade Chronicles 3 will look unsurprisingly familiar to those who have played past titles....

Speaking as part of an official interview published by Nintendo, Xenoblade developer Genki Yokota was asked whether we would ever see more from Xenoblade Chronicles, given that he had previously called 3 “the culmination of the series”. In response, Yokota replied: “Yes it will still go on.” In fact, he said he wanted to keep it going for “as long as possible”....

Zombies have returned to Call of Duty Warzone in a limited-time mode called Rebirth of the Dead. While we last saw zombies in the now blown-up Verdansk map, this time they will be invading Rebirth Island, which was first introduced with the release of Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War. The new mode, developed by support studio Beenox, has had some significant changes from the previous mode to better fit into Rebirth Island’s smaller map design....

Iain M. Banks said he didn’t want to write Doctor Who because you have to put all the toys back in the box afterwards, as it’s written with a view to infinity, to the story never ending. Doctor Who is the answer to the question ‘What if a game of Consequences never stopped?’. With different writers and creative teams the show has dabbled in dark, violent stories, occasionally for a sustained period of time....

Ted Bundy confessed to killing more than 30 people in the 1970s. Told through the eyes of his longtime girlfriend Liz Kendall, Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile, consigns this to subtext. But not because no one wanted to see Zac Efron, who stars as Bundy, committing such heinous acts. People did, and the film has been getting some flak about it. Director Joe Berlinger doesn’t focus his camera softly. His film Paradise Lost: The Child Murders at Robin Hood Hills, about the West Memphis Three, was criticized for its graphic documentation....

Valheim has achieved stratospheric levels of success. And we aren’t even being cocky about it. The Survival game has blown up and quite rightfully so too. The game owes its success to its gameplay experience on the whole. Allowing you to step into the shoes or rather the bare feet of a Viking, you have to brave the conditions and beware of your enemies. Doing so will make you doozy and craving the comfort of your thatched bed....
