Normally the big story for each month of Netflix new releases are the exciting batch of Netflix original series and movies arriving. For Netflix’s new releases for March 2020, things are a little bit different. Yes, there are some cool originals here but…look at those movies! March 1 sees the arrival of Corpse Bride, The Shawshank Redemption, There Will Be Blood, and Goodfellas! Martin Scorsese likely can’t unilaterally decide when and where his movies stream, but it is a happy coincidence that Goodfellas will now exist alongside The Irishman....

Welcome to the post E3 2011 world: a world where we know the name of Nintendo’s next console, a world where we can patiently wait for Halo 4, and a world where publishers have decided it is once again safe to ship new video game releases. If you spent last week pouring over the news emerging from E3, you might have found it tough to play many games. Well, get ready to make up for your lack of play time, because a ton of compelling games are about to be released....

Sega and Two Point Studios released a video of the upcoming comedic university management game Two Point Campus. The video features Two Point Studios co-founder Gary Carr, art director Mark Smart and head of animation Chris Knott as they talk about the creative tools you’ll be given to customize your university. Not only you can use the same tools used by level designers to create buildings in any shape and decorate them however you want, but you can also freeze the start of the academic year in order to take your time to do so....

There is more than one way to win a game in NHL 23. You can be the most prolific goal scorer since Gretzky. Or you could be the best defender since Lidstrom. The whole point of the game of hockey is to score more goals than you let in. Nobody said that had to be more than 1. You don’t get more points winning by 5 than you do by scraping out a win....

Bandai Namco has announced that Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom will be launching for the Nintendo Switch in a new Prince’s Edition this September.

No Man’s Sky has come a long way since its turbulent, initial release in 2016. Many games that suffered disastrous launches fade away never to be heard from again, but Hello Games’ epic space odyssey has endured and continues to receive regular updates, fixing bugs and issues and adding new content. With all the new mechanics and possibilities, there is a steep learning curve and it can take players a while to learn everything and work out their preferred playstyle....

One of the video game industry’s biggest players, Valve, has already released one of the year’s biggest titles in Portal 2 and while the developer is subject to insurmountable speculation and rumors about the their future projects, they have confirmed that they will not be at E3 2011 taking appointments. Does that mean that Half-Life 3 will be not announced? Not quite. While Valve may not be booking private demos or booth tours with media to showcase their in-development projects, this doesn’t restrict them from making surprise appearances at any of the “big three” press conferences....

The level of gaming performance that today’s enthusiast graphics cards deliver is impressive. AMD and Nvidia have made huge advancements in pushing maximum performance with advanced nodes, new microarchitectures, and system efficiency improvements, like Resizable BAR. Resolution upscaling technologies like DLSS and FSR 2.0 help substantially as well. These things are exactly what make the release of the budget Nvidia GTX 1630 graphics card unexciting, at least for gaming purposes....

Is this a dream? Am I in heaven? Do my eyes deceive me, or do some recent US copyright changes mean City of Heroes could be coming back? Of course, even with this ruling, getting the source code from the IP owners is another process altogether. But while that may prove difficult, it’s certainly not impossible. This all came about thanks primarily to the heroic Video Game Museum, otherwise known as The Museum of Art and Digital Entertainment (or TheMADE)....

Hot off the heels of her Oscar nomination, Supermassive Games has welcomed Jessie Buckley to its latest game in the Dark Pictures Anthology. Buckley, who was nominated for Best Supporting Actress for her role in The Lost Daughter at the Acadamy Awards on Sunday, will star as Kate Wilder in The Devil in Me. Along with this announcement, Supermassive ominously states Buckley and players should “get ready for an unforgettable stay…” (I’m not scared, you are)....

Outriders came out for all the major platforms and in both console generations. It’s made by People Can Fly (former Epic Games Poland), in the beautiful Unreal Engine 4. It looks stunning and we can’t stop playing it with all four classes (Technomancer, Pyromancer, Trickster, and Devastator). It’s fun, epic, and outright crazy (you can pull out spikes made of rocks underneath the enemy’s feet to kill them) and we love it....

Watching the PC features video for Outriders that came out today felt a little refreshing. I recently purchased an RTX card for all that delicious ray tracing and 1440p goodness. After watching my rig chug with a recent December release I don’t feel like naming because I’m getting burnt out on talking about it, I’m happy to see how breezy Outriders‘ PC requirements are. A video released today by Square Enix and People Can Fly dives deep into the game’s options....

Earlier this year, Capcom released Devil May Cry 5, which is the latest installment in the mainline Devil May Cry franchise. The game was released to mostly positive reviews, resulting in Capcom’s massive increase in profits, thanks to the impressive digital sales of Devil May Cry 5 and Resident Evil 2 Remake. Now, Microsoft is currently offering massive discounts on select games from the series with its Devil May Cry Franchise Sale, which is available now until next week....

You know how the saying goes: everything is better with memes! Or was it that nothing is better with memes? Either way, somebody made a run-and-gun game starring a goose, and now I’m going to talk about it for several paragraphs. Mighty Goose is a throwback to games like Contra and Metal Slug. It isn’t nearly as difficult as either of those, but it successfully captures the feel and balls-to-the-wall action that they had in spades....

Mods are the gift that keep on giving, and this time they’ve given the ability to play the arcade mode in Battlefront II as Kylo Ren – but Kylo Ren as Matt the Technician from the Undercover Boss skit from SNL that everyone went wild over last year. In said skit, Kylo Ren goes undercover on the Starkiller Base in a strawberry-blode wig and NHS glasses, and yells at other employees that Kylo Ren has an awesome lightsaber and is shredded (although following the release of The Last Jedi we now know that Kylo Ren isn’t so much shredded as he is played by a former marine who’s built like an actual barn)....
