“My god, it’s like The Handmaid’s Tale!” says Rachel (Kathryn Hahn), looking on in horror as her husband Richard (Paul Giamatti) swipes left and right on a site for prospective egg donors. Rachel and Richard are having an incredibly tough few years – failing IVF multiple times, getting stood up by someone offering adoption, losing all their money and generally putting their relationship through the worst kind of emotional wringer. In short, it’s a pretty bad time for their 24-year-old step-niece Sadie (newcomer Kayli Carter) to crash in their New York apartment with her own problems – and her own role to play in Rachel and Richard’s stalled life-plans....

The world’s latest obsession is Netflix documentary series Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem and Madness, the story of private zoo owner Joe Exotic and his long running feud with Big Cat Rescue founder Carole Baskin which ends in a murder-for-hire plot and a 22 year prison sentence for Joe. It’s genuinely one of the strangest, most fascinating stories to land on the streaming service – if you haven’t caught it yet, you really must....

For the last two weeks, everything we know of BioWare’s Mass Effect 3 came from an exclusive Game Informer 12-page preview of the game. We learned a lot about the setting, characters and gameplay changes, as well as how it compares to Mass Effect 2, but there’s a lot more to learn from now until the fall when it hits retail. Scans from Spanish magazine Marca Player surfaced on the web today, presenting another 7-page look into Mass Effect 3 and offering quite a lot of new details and we have them here for you....

New information and pretty screenshots for the new non-horror oriented Resident Evil game, Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City have been made available from Capcom. These latest images aim to shed some more light on what to expect from the game’s co-operative zombie slaying experience. Operation Raccoon City, developed by Slant Six Games (various SOCOM titles) is a team-oriented shooter taking place during the timeline of Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3....

Today Japanese developer TVT (which stands for Tokyo Virtual Theory) sent in a press release basically introducing itself to the world, and teasing its projects. The company was actually founded in 2019 under the leadership of Toshiyuki Yasui, who worked on the God Eater series and Freedom Wars, but now they’re ready to talk about what they’re working on. First of all, the company is creating the Theory Engine, a middleware created in-house and developed to support large-scale online games....

White Knight Chronicles didn’t have the best reception here at Game Rant. Though in our review we did touch on the fact that it showed potential, a potential that will hopefully be found in White Knight Chronicles 2. While we wait for the game’s lengthy development, and likely lengthier localization process, andriasang got their hands on some great screenshots. The shots show returning characters Leonard, Yulie, and Eldore, along with antagonists Grazel and The Black Knight....

WordleBot, The New York Times’ own official “daily Wordle companion”, has suggested a new starting word for us all to try. As noted by The Verge, WordleBot now lists ‘Slate’ as the optimal starting word. Previously, ‘Crane’ was the New York Times’ favourite starting suggestion, however this has been given the boot in favour of the ‘S’ and ‘T’ inclusive ‘Slate’. This makes sense, as ‘S’ and ‘T’ are two of the most commonly occurring letters throughout our dictionary....

Amiibo were Nintendo’s attempt at the toys-to-life craze. While the genre is beginning to end out, with Skylanders on a decline, and LEGO Dimensions and Disney Infinity both out of the game, it’s shocking to see that the Big N is still making those little figures to this day. The major difference is that Amiibo were designed more with collectors in mind. They have minor compatibility with a few different games, but nothing that would cause to immediately fork over 13 dollars to grab one....

The relationship between DeNA and Nintendo could be in trouble, as the mobile games based on some of Nintendo’s biggest properties have faltered at the marketplace. Nintendo partnered with mobile gaming giant DeNA back in 2015, with the intention of bringing some of its biggest franchises to mobile phones. This partnership led to games like Miitomo, Super Mario Run, Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp, Pokémon Masters, and Mario Kart Tour. On the surface, these games seem as if they would bring in a ton of money for both companies, but all of the DeNA/Nintendo games have underperformed financially....

The Super Nintendo World theme park will seemingly eventually expand to include franchises other than Super Mario. At this time, the plan is for Super Nintendo World to open in Osaka, Japan sometime in July. Attractions revealed thus far include Bowser’s Castle, a Mario Kart course, and a lot of other things that all have to do with Mario and his friends. While there have been rumblings that Nintendo is interested in featuring more than just Super Mario at the park, there hasn’t been much official information regarding their expansion intentions at this time....

One of the best things that a dedicated gamer can buy to enhance their playing experience is a great TV and, with the Playstation 4 Pro and Xbox One X both pumping out properly high-end visual fidelity, it’s important to invest in a screen that will give you the best experience on offer. Each of these newer consoles, for example, supports both 4K and HDR content and, after splashing out on the first part, you don’t want your display to be the thing that lets you down....

I wanted one more crack at the green-shelled horror awaiting me in the ruins below. In each previous attempt, I had met with utter failure, and my next would likely prove no different. But I’d had to sleep off the damage it did, so now I was hungry and thirsty with no food or water left. My next failure would have to wait for me to secure enough supplies, only to do it all over again....

Monolith has announced that Middle-earth: Shadow of War has been delayed. It will now launch on PC, PS4, and Xbox One on October 10. Community Manager Andy Salisbury took to the game’s forums and said the date has been moved from August 22 so that developer Monolith can deliver ‘the highest quality experience.’ Salisbury added ‘We understand that it might be disappointing to have to wait a little longer for the release and are sorry for the delay, but we are working hard to make an amazing game....

Minecraft has yet to “officially” release, at least in its “full version,” yet Mojang has sold over 1.8 million units for an estimated revenue haul of $33 million. Pretty amazing, right? With Minecraft updates coming in on the regular every few weeks and gamers still buying the game by the bucket load, when will the full version release and what needs to be added before that happens? As it turns out, not much....

Apex Legends character Mirage took to the stage at The Game Awards 2019 in an attempt to create a unique award category for himself to win. He failed. But he did reveal a trailer for the Apex Legends Holo-Day (get it?) Bash event. He also told the audience and viewers that the event is live in-game now. So, hop in and start earning those sweet holiday cosmetics. Deck the halls with guns and ammo There’s a lot to do in the Apex Legends Holo-Day Bash Event....

ORIGINAL REPORT: A new trademark for a game called ‘Mirror’s Edge Catalyst’ has been registered in Europe. Discovered by NeoGAF, the trademark was registered by UK law firm J A Kemp earlier today in relation to “computer game software” and “entertainment services”, presumably on behalf of EA. However, the documentation fails to clarify whether the trademark is linked to next year’s PS4 and Xbox One game or an entirely different title....

Modern Warfare 2 multiplayer map Favela has been taken offline following complaints from Muslim players, who discovered offensive imagery contained within one of the map’s rooms almost three years after the game’s release. According to Kotaku, two paintings found in one of the map’s bathrooms contained a quote attributed to the Prophet Muhammad, which reads: “Allah is beautiful and He loves beauty.” The discovery of the text led to complaints from those of Islamic faith, to whom it can be seen as offensive to display holy teachings written in the bathroom....

Further changes are coming to Marvel’s Avengers, though Square Enix isn’t ready to reveal a full roadmap. In a new development update, the team lists some new features heading to the game and admits that systems built at launch “haven’t grown and aren’t sufficiently delivering the most fun Super Hero team experience”. Patch 2.3 is set for release in March and will bring a number of changes in advance of a full roadmap of content....
