Metacritic user reviews make my head hurt. Maybe we should just torch them all?

A collection of awesome clips from Rocket League, Overwatch, Battlefront II, and more.

On September 25, 2024, I’ll be glued to Netflix as they premiere “Jailbreak: Love on the Run”, a gripping true-crime documentary based on a tale that turned heads. It’s about a corrections officer who found herself caught up in an extraordinary romance with an inmate, leading them both down a dangerous path of escape. This daring breakout from the Lauderdale County Jail in Alabama, masterminded by Vicky White in 2022, sparked a nationwide manhunt across the US. I can hardly wait to see how this real-life thriller unfolds!

Ever since their introduction in “Mortal Kombat 3”, Sektor has been featured in multiple games and diverse roles. Initially, they were introduced as a male cyborg character in “Mortal Kombat 1” as a Kameo fighter. Later on, they transitioned to a playable female human role in the game’s Khaos Reigns expansion.

In simpler terms, “The Crew 2” is an extensive street racing game that has been updated frequently since its launch. It expands upon the success of its predecessor by revamping handling systems, adding new events, and nearly tripling the number of playable characters while including various vehicle types like planes, motorcycles, and boats. Players can let their racing spirit loose in “The Crew 2” by participating in events on land, water, and air. The variety of events is unique, ranging from speed trials and drifting to cross-country races, all of which offer a thrilling gaming experience.

As a dedicated gamer immersed in the World of Warcraft universe, I’ve just learned that they’ve tackled a significant problem with the guild banks, which cropped up during The War Within. However, it seems that some players have sadly lost all their stored items as part of this fix. World of Warcraft has promised to make every effort to recover these lost goods, but unfortunately, some guilds are yet to receive a single item back, even after the issue was supposedly resolved.

Clips from Battlefield, War Thunder, and more that look as if they’re right out of a movie.

It’s not unexpected for fans of Owlcat, creators of Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous, that they will publish two indie games – Rue Valley and Shadow of the Road. This move is seen as a natural progression following their self-publication of several titles by the studio itself.

2024 saw Jyamma Games’ title, Enotria: The Last Song, emerge as one of the year’s most debated games, garnering attention for its release in the latter half. While there’s no denying that Enotria offers a distinctive gaming experience, it has also sparked controversy among some players who attribute the challenges they encountered to potential misunderstandings of the game’s mechanics.

Among anime studios, there are few as legendary or respected as Madhouse, and among its distinguished creative heads, scarcely any are as iconic – whether for their creativity or impact – as Yoshiaki Kawajiri. Lately, Kawajiri’s “Ninja Scroll” marked the (delayed) 30th anniversary with a brief theatrical release in North America, and even after all these years, it remains an exhilarating adventure meticulously designed to quicken the pulse.
