Today, Netflix announced that its popular western-anime series Castlevania is returning to the streaming platform on March 5th, 2020. Netflix announced the show’s release date through its official Twitter account, promising that there will be “more mystery, murder, mayhem, and vampires than ever.” The tweet was accompanied by a release poster for Castlevania that features the main characters from the last season. The poster also features one unknown character. There is already much speculation over who he is, but one popular theory suggests that he’s Rinaldo Gandolfi, an alchemist first introduced in Castlevania: Lament of Innocence, one of the more well-received Castlevania games....

There are a lot of people that know a cat lady, cat person, or a few of them. Heck, you might even be one of them yourself. For the sake of video games, at least, Cat Lady is the name of a twin-stick shooter that’s currently in Steam’s Early Access platform. As it stands right now, a content update is coming tomorrow, “The Super Chonky Update,” adding more than a few things into the mix....

About midway through the first episode of Hulu’s new miniseries Catch-22, which marks George Clooney’s first time acting on television since 90s powerhouse drama ER, Nat King Cole’s 1943 classic Straighten Up and Fly Right begins playing. It’s a catchy jazz tune from the same era as the show’s setting in World War II, but what’s remarkable about its use here is where the creative team decided to place it – and why....

With yesterday’s announcement that Cyberpunk 2077 would be getting a five-month delay, fans let out a sigh of relief. Not only would this free up time from the busy March/April 2020 release season, but it meant the developers behind it weren’t being pushed to the extremes just to release a game on time. With newer reports coming out about “crunch culture” and the psychological impact it has on the people suffering it, at least CD Projekt Red was doing its best to ensure its employees were safe....

MSI is entering the PC storage market. During its CES 2021 “Tech for the Future” event on Wednesday, MSI announced that it will be releasing its own solid state drive (SSD) lineup for gamers worldwide.

The new drives will utilize TCL Flash and a PCIe Gen 4×4 interface....

The latest trailer for Left Alive, Square Enix’s survival action shooter, has been released and gives us a better look at what we can expect from the game’s story. Well, a bit anyway. Yoji Shinkawa, the art director for Metal Gear Solid whilst Hideo Kojima was kicking about with Konami, is the man responsible for designing the playable characters, some of which are featured in the video below. The music and ludicrousness depicted in the two and a half minutes is quite reminiscent of MGS, actually, so that should please those yearning for a Metal Gear Solid 6 that might never come....

Nintendo has shown off some track locations for forthcoming Final Fantasy kart racer Chocobo GP. A new video reveals four tracks to drive around as the likes of Vivi, Mog and Steiner, while throwing magicite attacks to gain pole position. Though they’ve been shown in previous trailers, this is the first time they’ve been named. There’s Zozo from Final Fantasy 6, the rain-soaked thieves den; the grand city of Alexandria from Final Fantasy 9; the expansive Big Bridge from Final Fantasy 5; and Gold Saucer from Final Fantasy 7, its colourful theme park....

Despite the fact that James Wan is primarily known as a horror director, make no mistake, Aquaman still feels like his movie. The camera work and directorial flourishes you might recognize from The Conjuring films are here if you look, along with all of the bright colors and undersea imagery that make up Aquaman’s world. But even though this may feel like a departure from what made Wan famous in the first place, the director made the bizarre underwater world of Aquaman his own....

Crusader Kings III, the next installment of Paradox Interactive’s popular grand strategy series, will launch via Steam tomorrow. Set in the Middle Ages, it allows you to revisit history or make it your own. It cleverly does a good job at that, though there are also a few issues. One thing I can’t fault Paradox, however, is the studio’s decision to include a ginormous world map right from the get-go. The Vanilla Crusader Kings III experience will take you from the cold north of Scotland and the deserts of West Africa to the highlands of Tibet, the mountains of the Himalayas, and the jungles of modern-day Burma....

Livonia will contain green forests, open fields, abandoned parks, and dense woodlands....

As exciting as the performance for modern computers is, every step forward in technology and engineering can lead to unintentional setbacks in other areas. That’s exactly the case with modern DDR4 memory due to the increasing density that exposes it to vulnerabilities like Rowhammer. The tighter we pack our technology together for increased efficiency, the more the theoretical concerns become actual. Rowhammer is a physical security exploit that involves repeatedly running a program on a row of DRAM transistors until electricity leaks into adjacent rows....
