The CGI remake of the first Pokémon movie has been localized into English and will be released exclusively on Netflix next month. Pokémon: Mewtwo Strikes Back - Evolution is a CGI remake of Pokémon: The First Movie. The movie tells the story of the creation of Mewtwo from a scrap of Mew’s DNA, his rebellion against Giovanni, the creation of his clone army, and his encounter with Ash Ketchum. The story of the film is the same as the original and it still has Takeshi Shudo listed as its writer, even though he passed away in 2010....

Commandos was an amazing real-time tactics series, and it’s sad that it went to IP limbo. I look forward to Kalypso Media’s revival of the franchise, but until then, I just might make do with Dog Duty, which premiered on Steam Early Access yesterday. Developed by Brazilian indie studio Zanardi&Liza, it openly salutes Commandos as one of its influences, but the art style and the frenzied shooting action do remind me of Team Fortress 2....

Dota 2 is all about grinding endlessly as you increase your skills and earn more medals. MMR is the Match-making ratings attributed to all the players for their skill levels. Aside from the skill levels, it is also used for match-making purposes. As it will be most fair to place those of equal ranks and skills altogether. This MMR increases or decreases according to the player’s wins or losses. It’s an important factor as it determines what players you will fight....

This DuckTales review contains spoilers. DuckTales Episode 22 So was anyone else reminded of Fantasia while watching this episode? It’s pretty much summed up in that moment of Scrooge tiptoeing behind Dewey. It’s a great bit of animation that’s perfectly timed to the music. It was like the best moments of Fantasia that was so perfectly animated to the music they were given. I know I gush every week about the DuckTales animation team but here they really went above and beyond....

Outside of Batman: Arkham City and Spiderman: Edge of Time, most major comic book video games releasing this year are tie-ins with their respective blockbuster films. We played Thor: God of Thunder, got a close look at Green Lantern: Rise of the Manhunters and are still waiting on Captain America: Super Soldier - all three of which have movies debuting this summer from Marvel Studios and DC Entertainment - but what about the X-Men?...

EA has confirmed allegations that “one or more” of its employees accounts were used in a recent scandal that accused employees of profiteering from the selling of FIFA 21 Ultimate Team cards on the black market. Following up its own initial investigations it announced last week, an update on the FIFA 21 website (spotted by GamesIndustry.biz) reads “It appears one or more EA accounts, which were either compromised or being used inappropriately by someone within EA, directly entitled items to these individual accounts” and the studio added “Our initial investigation shows questionable activity involving a very small number of accounts and items....

Many had a feeling that publisher Electronic Arts would be returning to Steam as a venue for their games after a few hints surfaced in the form of test games and the appearance of a few select EA games on the digital marketplace. Now, it appears this might become a reality after a tweet recently posted by EA’s Twitter account. As indicated previously, EA’s return to the platform had been foreshadowed by an apparent recent update of Dragon Age 2 and the spotting of Mirror’s Edge Catalyst in a Steam UI update....

EA has delayed the release of it new “next generation” PGA Tour game by a full year, announcing it’s now expected to arrive in “spring 2023”. EA Sports PGA Tour - which marks the publisher’s first foray into golfing sims since 2015’s Rory McIlroy PGA Tour - was officially unveiled back in March last year, promising to deliver world famous golf courses and professional golfers as part of a long-term deal with the PGA Tour....

Here’s our Elden Ring guide to help you with the Murkwater Cave dungeon, the Patches boss fight, and the Bloody Finger Nerijus encounter.

The web keeps on spinning over at Sony Pictures, as a new Deadline report reveals that Emma Roberts will be joining both Dakota Johnson and Sydney Sweeney in the upcoming Madame Web spinoff. Roberts, who you may have last seen in American Horror Story and Scream Queens, will join the film in another unannounced role. The trio will also count Celeste O’Connor, Isabela Merced, and Tahar Rahim as their co-stars in Madame Web, which is being directed by S....

With two major factions in the game, many players wonder how to tell Scav from PMC in Escape From Tarkov that is what their major differences are. While there are quite a few differences that can be seen outright, others are often subtle. Although it will be difficult to identify in battle since you won’t have much time while facing them. But if you know what you are looking for, it will get easier....

This week on the Eurogamer Newscast - also available in audio form! - we look in detail at today’s final rollout of PlayStation Plus Premium, which is now available in the UK and mainland Europe. We now know all of the games included in the PlayStation Plus Premium catalogue at launch and it’s enough to hit Sony’s promises, certainly, though there are still odd omissions. The lack of 60Hz for some PS1 games (for now) also points to a rather rushed release, despite the extra weeks we’ve waited on these shores....

Dragon Ball Z is no stranger to video game adaptations, with nearly 50 games related to the franchise popping up over the years since the 1980s. The latest entry is Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot, and while many are certainly feeling the franchise fatigue, as many are excited about what this newest game has to offer. After all, publisher Bandai Namco promised that Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot would be the most faithful telling of Goku’s story....

Capcom’s never been afraid to dive headfirst into cheesy territory, and Exoprimal is shaping up to be the latest example of just that. It’s not quite the tense survival horror experience Dino Crisis fans might’ve been hoping for, but the bones of the PvPvE gameplay in Exoprimal are solid enough for me to think that this game could have a lot of potential going forward. Exoprimal isn’t shy about being self-aware, or letting players know right off the bat that they, too, know just how silly the entire premise is....

Many regard Resident Evil 4 as one of the greatest games ever created, so naturally, it has seen more rereleases than one can count. A couple of those rereleases, namely the Wii port and the recently launched VR version, allowed players to experience this classic in a whole new way. While the fan-made Resident Evil 4 HD Project mod does not change the experience quite as much as those two did, it nonetheless looks insanely impressive and ambitious, which only makes sense since it remained in development for around eight years....

A new trailer for Platinum Games’ Transformers Devastation has been released by Activision offering a better look at how the action title will play. As you might expect, combat offers a blend of robot man and vehicle attacks, either on the ground or in the air depending on which Transformer you’re in control of. You’ll see a range of classic characters in the trailer, too, including Optimus Prime, Bumblebee and Megatron....

The beautiful thing about Final Fantasy XIV’s content roadmap and story structure is that whenever new quests get added, the game takes the time to welcome you back into the fold. We’re only in the first paragraph and I’m already getting sappy here, but returning to FFXIV after an extended period of time does feel like home. That feeling is even more prevalent now, especially since the end of the Endwalker expansion, which saw the Scions going their separate ways and looking for their own adventures....

TOTW 14 will HAS more of a focus on the leagues in Europe as the Premier League sides played a round of cup games, and TOTW is based on league form. So it is a good week for anybody who uses a team from the other leagues, but a quiet one if you have a Premier League squad. There were some upsets in Serie A and Ligue 1, while Barcelona made the gap even bigger at the top of La Liga....

UPDATE: Square Enix has also confirmed that Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles is heading to Nintendo Switch. ORIGINAL STORY: Square Enix has announced that it’s bringing Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles Remastered to PlayStation 4 next year. So far the game has only been announced for a Japanese release, although that’s probably not a surprise considering it was announced at Sony’s pre-Tokyo Game Show press event earlier this morning. Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles Remastered will come repackaged with multiplayer functionality, although not much else about the game has been revealed at present....

The Mega Man series has always been one that has conflicted me. While the series attracts legions of loyal fans, I just haven’t been able to get into any of the past games. It’s not that I dislike anything about the games as I love the idea behind the different themed bosses and I like the gameplay. There’s just something that I can’t quite put my finger on that keeps me from falling in love with each game....
