https://www.ign.com/articles/mecha-break-has-a-lot-to-like-and-a-little-to-worry-about
Now that we’ve had more time with Mecha BREAK’s arsenal of mecha in its open beta, we're still highly impressed with its arena shooter-style gameplay and with how good it looks – though we're concerned about possible microtransaction shenanigans.

Borderlands Movie Director Tells Viewers To Shut Their Brain Off When Watching It

The movie adaptation of the video game Borderlands releases in theaters this Friday, August 9, and director Eli Roth says it's the kind of film where you shouldn't think too much and just sit back and take in the spectacle.Speaking to Deadline (https://x.com/DEADLINE/status/1821035453216071747), Roth said, "I've always wanted to do something like this that was just like big and fun and crazy where you just shut off your brain, grab a bucket of popcorn, and laugh your ass off." He added that making the Borderlands film allowed him to live out his dream of making a "visual" and "spectacular" movie like Fifth Element, Escape from New York, or Barbarella.Continue Reading at GameSpot (https://www.gamespot.com/articles/borderlands-movie-director-tells-viewers-to-shut-their-brain-off-when-watching-it/1100-6525608/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f/)
Fortnite Ends Exclusivity For Future Battle Passes
https://www.gamespot.com/articles/fortnite-ends-exclusivity-for-future-battle-passes/1100-6525606/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f
Epic Games is making one of its biggest changes ever (https://www.fortnite.com/news/change-to-item-exclusivity-in-future-fortnite-battle-passes) to Fortnite (https://www.gamespot.com/games/fortnite/) next week--the items on the upcoming Chapter 5 Season 4 battle pass will be the first in the game's history that aren't exclusive to the season they belong to. Starting with the upcoming season that begins on August 16, battle-pass cosmetics can be made available for sale in the Fortnite item shop starting 18 months after the end of the season.This is a massive change because all previous battle-pass cosmetics have been sold under the pretense that they will never be available. Skins like Darth Vader and Optimus Prime are permanently unobtainable because of this longstanding exclusivity. While those past skins will remain exclusive, new battle-pass items will not be. This change marks a necessary long-term shift in Epic's strategy for Fortnite as it continues to grow into a larger ecosystem. Battle pass exclusivity made sense for a fledgling battle royale, but it makes less sense for a full-blown metaverse.In it's announcement about the change, Epic specifically noted licensed characters as a reason for the move. "We want players down the road to enjoy battle-pass content such as Outfits based on popular licensed characters," Epic's statement read.Continue Reading at GameSpot (https://www.gamespot.com/articles/fortnite-ends-exclusivity-for-future-battle-passes/1100-6525606/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f/)
Baldur's Gate 3 Players Have Smooched Their Companions 75 million times

So it seems like we've all been playing Baldur's Gate 3 (https://www.gamespot.com/games/baldurs-gate-3/)… for the plot. Larian Studios has just revealed what players have been doing since the game came out, and it turns out players have collectively kissed their companions over 75 million times.We know which party members players preferred over the others thanks to a series of posts on the Larian Twitter account (https://x.com/baldursgate3/status/1821186927779004770) that showcased what players did throughout their playthroughs. Leading the charges when it came to kisses was everyone's favorite goth princess, Shadowheart, with 27 million kisses, followed by Astarion, with 15 million kisses. If you're wondering who came in last, it was Minthara, with only 169,937 kisses.It’s been a year since Baldur’s Gate 3 was released, and you know what we’ve realised?
Over a quarter of you can’t be trusted to not pick a fight with a djinni, and a surprising amount of you enjoy bear sex and tentacles.

Meanwhile, 1.1 million people also romanced the Emperor, and 63% decided to have them stay in their Guardian form, while 37% had them revert to their true form.Continue Reading at GameSpot (https://www.gamespot.com/articles/baldurs-gate-3-players-have-smooched-their-companions-75-million-times/1100-6525605/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f/)
The PlayStation VR 2 PC Adapter Is Available Now, But It's Selling Out Fast
https://www.gamespot.com/articles/the-playstation-vr-2-pc-adapter-is-available-now-but-its-selling-out-fast/1100-6525563/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f
The PlayStation VR 2 hasn't exactly been a huge hit amongst PS5 owners, with Sony reportedly pausing production earlier this year until current stock is depleted. The recent $200 discount during PlayStation's Back to School sale certainly helped with that, but it might be the PSVR 2 PC Adapter (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D92XQL22?tag=gamespot-promos-20) that moves the needle even more. Released this week for $60, the PSVR 2 PC Adapter adds support for gaming PCs and thousands of SteamVR games without needing a PS5 console.The PSVR 2 PC Adapter is currently available at GameStop (https://clicks.trx-hub.com/xid/fandom_32094_gamespot?q=https://click.linksynergy.com/deeplink?id=VZfI20jEa0c&mid=24348&u1=subid_value&murl=https://www.gamestop.com/consoles-hardware/virtual-reality/products/playstation-vr2-pc-adapter/20013568.html&p=http://www.gamespot.com/feeds/news&event_type=click), but it will likely sell out soon. Unfortunately, it's sold out at Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D92XQL22?tag=gamespot-promos-20), Best Buy (https://clicks.trx-hub.com/xid/fandom_32094_gamespot?q=https://shop-links.co/1850017286177766123?u1=subid_value&p=http://www.gamespot.com/feeds/news&event_type=click), and PlayStation Direct (https://direct.playstation.com/en-us/buy-accessories/playstationvr2-pc-adapter).

A DisplayPort 1.4 cable and a Steam account are required. If you need a cable, you can pick up a braided 10-foot JSAUX DisplayPort cable for only $12 (https://www.amazon.com/DisplayPort-JSAUX-Gold-Plated-Braided-Monitor/dp/B07ZF6PSFP?tag=gamespot-promos-20).Continue Reading at GameSpot (https://www.gamespot.com/articles/the-playstation-vr-2-pc-adapter-is-available-now-but-its-selling-out-fast/1100-6525563/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f/)
The First Berserker: Khazan Is A Hack-And-Slash Revival That Pulls No Punches
https://www.gamespot.com/articles/the-first-berserker-khazan-is-a-hack-and-slash-revival-that-pulls-no-punches/1100-6525596/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f
The First Berserker: Khazan's first gameplay footage is here, and it's looking quite promising. Boasting a cel-shaded anime artstyle and a frosty aesthetic, Khazan looks straight out of the pages of a combat-filled manga like Berserk. How fitting.The latest entry in the Dungeon & Fighter series--which includes the online fighting game DNF Duel and the MMORPG Dungeon Fighter Online--The First Berserker: Khazan is a hack-and-slash action-RPG with similarities to the Souls series and classics like the original God of War games. The trailer shows a wounded Khazan being fully healed by a strange sword called the "Blade Phantom." After that, he explores a snowy mountainscape, using his axe and sword to deal with a number of enemies, finally ending with an impressive boss fight with a Yeti-like monster.While it's not clear if Khazan is fully a "Soulslike," it exhibits a lot of elements that have become synonymous with the series, including maze-like environments, powerful falling attacks, charge attacks, a sprint option, and even a parry. The game's stylized visuals stand out the most in this trailer, as we haven't seen many notable action-RPGs in that style in recent years. The First Berserker: Khazan will come out sometime in 2025, and it will release for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.Continue Reading at GameSpot (https://www.gamespot.com/articles/the-first-berserker-khazan-is-a-hack-and-slash-revival-that-pulls-no-punches/1100-6525596/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f/)
Where to stream: Max (https://clicks.trx-hub.com/xid/fandom_32094_gamespot?q=https://go.skimresources.com?id=225336X1707200&xs=1&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.max.com%2Fmovies%2Ffurious-7%2Fbbdd8ac3-8311-434b-9a07-7f64753a8492&xcust=subid_value&p=http://www.gamespot.com/feeds/mashup/?platform=5&type=3&event_type=click)Furious 7 is actually the biggest movie of the franchise, and the biggest movie of all of 2015 outside the US--its foreign-box-office total actually beat that of The Force Awakens, which is astonishing to think about. It made some sense--Walker's death was shocking, and this would be his last movie. Without those raw emotions, though, Furious 7 is pretty hard to watch, especially in the later action sequences when Brian is clearly being played by Walker's non-actor brother. Director James Wan does what he can, though, and Furious 7 is worth watching just for the incredible Azerbaijan car-skydiving sequence, which was filmed before Walker died.
The Fate of the Furious (2017)
Where to stream: TubiIt's here that Fast & Furious turned into the franchise we know today. After Brian and Dom's sister Mia break Dom out of prison, they all go on the run until they end up in Brazil--where they naturally have to do some car-based crimes so they can eat. All the while they're caught between the local crime lord and Hobbs, a US government agent played by Dwayne Johnson in full heel mode. So what do they do? They call in a bunch of supporting characters from the previous movies, including Tyrese, Ludacris, Gal Gadot, Don Omar, Tego Calderon and, of course, Sung Kang's Han. The final sequence, in which Brian and Dom have to pull a huge vault safe in tandem through the streets of Rio--is an all timer.
Fast & Furious 6 (2013)
Where to stream: TubiIt's hard to figure out what Universal was trying to do with this film. Without any returning cast members from the first two, aside from a two-second cameo by Diesel, Tokyo Drift had the air of a DTV sequel that was released in theaters by accident. It's got a pretty solid saving grace, though: The first of these directed by franchise stalwart Justin Lin is a good freakin' movie, pretty much functioning as a car-based Karate Kid. Here we've got Sean Boswell, a redneck white boy from Alabama who's sent to live in Tokyo with his military dad after he totals his car in a high school street race. There he hooks up with Han, another American living in exile who's involved with some yakuza dealings, and things get really heavy really quickly. In a very real way, this was the movie that saved the franchise, even while it had the lowest box-office take of all the movies.While this one was the third movie released in the series, it's actually seventh in chronological order--Han was so popular that they just kept bringing him back.
Fast & Furious (2009)
Where to stream: TubiIt's funny to remember that when The Fast and the Furious first came out, it was mocked as just being a car-based ripoff of Point Break. Which is true, honestly--this is the story of LAPD cop Brian O'Connor (Paul Walker) infiltrating the truck hijacker #family of Dominic Torretto (Vin Diesel) and developing a lifelong LA bromance in the process. In a vacuum it's kinda a meh film, but it improves once you come back to it after watching the others--when you really care about what happens to Brian and Dom, The Fast and the Furious hits different.

Hugh Jackman Performs His Grunts And Screams In Deadpool And Wolverine BTS Clip

Although Pixar's Inside Out 2 is the highest-grossing movie of the summer, Deadpool and Wolverine (https://www.gamespot.com/reviews/deadpool-and-wolverine-review-status-quo/1900-6418260/) is catching up fast and closing in on $1 billion worldwide by this weekend. That's a testament to the drawing power of leading men Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman, who only briefly shared the screen 15 years earlier in X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Now, Jackman is sharing a behind-the-scenes look at his ADR process during one of the new film's fights between Wolverine and Deadpool.Hi. #DeadpoolAndWolverine (https://twitter.com/hashtag/DeadpoolAndWolverine?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) @ShawnLevyDirect (https://twitter.com/ShawnLevyDirect?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) pic.twitter.com/5GmfJKHQfJ (https://t.co/5GmfJKHQfJ) — Hugh Jackman (@RealHughJackman) August 6, 2024 (https://twitter.com/RealHughJackman/status/1820892515614236750?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) The scene in question takes place near the middle of the movie, as Deadpool and Wolverine can no longer tolerate each others' presence. For every blow, kick, or punch, Jackman has to make the appropriate sound at the recording studio. Additional dialogue recording is a common practice for films and TV shows, but Jackman seems to be very animated while acting out the fight again.Jackman's vocal recordings were incorporated into the final version of Deadpool and Wolverine in theaters. And there's almost certainly got to be footage of Reynolds doing the same thing for his side of this Wolverine and Deadpool fight. Whether Reynolds will post those clips himself remains to be seen. He hasn't been shy about revealing many of the film's Marvel cameos (https://www.gamespot.com/gallery/every-marvel-cinematic-universe-movie-ranked/2900-4657/) since it hit theaters near the end of last month.Continue Reading at GameSpot (https://www.gamespot.com/articles/hugh-jackman-performs-his-grunts-and-screams-in-deadpool-and-wolverine-bts-clip/1100-6525616/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f/)

Kit Harington famously played Jon Snow (https://gameofthrones.fandom.com/wiki/Jon_Snow) on HBO's Game of Thrones, and he was working on an idea for a new TV series that would bring the character back. It never happened, though, and now Harington has discussed part of the reason why.Speaking to Collider (https://collider.com/kit-harington-the-beast-within/), Harington said the he and his collaborators never found a story that lived up to his standards. "It was just about not finding the right story and not finding something that was worth doing, to bring me back to it and to stay in it. It just made less sense, the longer we went on with it, so we recanted," he said.He went on to say that his thought process was, "I don't want to do this unless it's the most astounding idea and unless it makes total sense."Continue Reading at GameSpot (https://www.gamespot.com/articles/kit-harington-explains-why-his-game-of-thrones-jon-snow-spin-off-never-happened/1100-6525607/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f/)
Switch Is Very Close To Matching Lifetime PS2 Sales In The US
https://www.gamespot.com/articles/switch-is-very-close-to-matching-lifetime-ps2-sales-in-the-us/1100-6525600/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f
The Nintendo Switch is getting closer to matching the PlayStation 2 for lifetime sales in the US. Mat Piscatella of the research firm Circana reported that the Switch is only 1.1 million units behind PS2 for lifetime sales domestically.Globally, it's a bit of a different story. Nintendo recently reported that Switch sales through June 30 stood at 143.42 million units (https://www.gamespot.com/articles/nintendo-switch-closing-in-on-ps2s-sales-record/1100-6525497/). The PS2 is understood to be the best-selling home console of all time with about 155 million units sold.Nintendo is forecasting to sell 13.5 million Switch consoles during its current fiscal year that ends on March 31, 2025. With 2.1 million sold already this fiscal year (https://www.gamespot.com/articles/nintendo-switch-closing-in-on-ps2s-sales-record/1100-6525497/), that leaves 11.4 million to go to reach the target. If Nintendo can achieve that, then Switch sales would reach 154.4 million--just 600,000 shy of the PS2's estimated global record of 155 million.Continue Reading at GameSpot (https://www.gamespot.com/articles/switch-is-very-close-to-matching-lifetime-ps2-sales-in-the-us/1100-6525600/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f/)

Some other features include a pause button for offline single-player, as well as more difficulty settings. This will let players adjust different aspects such as enemy aggression, combat, patrol frequency, and mining drops. There will also be new building parts, decorations, weapons, and armor.Continue Reading at GameSpot (https://www.gamespot.com/articles/the-lord-of-the-rings-return-to-moria-comes-to-xbox-and-steam-along-with-cross-play-this-month/1100-6525598/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f/)
Where to stream: Prime Video rent/buy (https://www.amazon.com/Fate-Furious-Vin-Diesel/dp/B06ZYWVYCP?tag=gamespot-entertainment-20)Straight Outta Compton director F Gary Gray took over for the first Fast/Furious without Paul Walker, and it turned the franchise on its head by having new villain Cipher (Charlize Theron) force Dom to do her bidding by kidnapping his ex-girlfriend and secret baby son that he didn't know about. This, in turn, forces all of Dom's #family to fight him.This one caught tons of flack for giving Jason Statham's character a chance to redeem himself after he was revealed to have murdered Han in Tokyo Drift, but that never bothered me because his redemption task is suitably difficult and heroic--and also because the film lays it on thick with the "Dom turns enemies into #family" thing from the start. But Fate is also a good movie because it actually successfully changed up the franchise formula in a fun way. That's not easy to do this far into a series--as evidenced by all the movies that came after this one.
Fast & Furious Presents Hobbs & Shaw
Where to stream: TubiI've always had an excess of affection for this one, in which our group of heroes basically become car-based superheroes who have to go up against up against essentially the dark versions of themselves: a crew of amazing drivers who don't care about each other and whose boss (Luke Evans) is happy to get rid of any of them he deems expendable--and Letty, who we thought was dead for the past two movies, is on that team. It's also the last one of these that Paul Walker was in all the way through, since he would die a year later during production on Furious 7, so there's a big element of nostalgia involved as well. It's not the best of these movies, but it feels like the end of something even so. The franchise still hasn't really recovered from Walker's death, and Lin's exit from the franchise after this film didn't help either.
Furious 7 (2015)
Where to stream: TubiAfter Tokyo Drift, Universal decided to move forward more earnestly, reuniting Walker and Diesel in what amounts to a direct sequel to the first movie, with Tokyo Drift director Justin Lin returning. So Dom is in Mexico still hiding from the law, but he comes back to LA when he hears that his longtime girlfriend, Letty (Michelle Rodriguez), was murdered by drug runners while working undercover for Brian, who is once again a cop. So Brian and Dom cooperate uneasily to infiltrate the cartel responsible, and eventually they have to invade Mexico to get their revenge. I enjoy this one, but others find it grating because it's overly serious like the original movie was--but with Lin behind the camera, it's a much better movie, so I don't mind the tone.
Fast Five (2011)
Where to stream: TubiVin Diesel opted out of this sequel, and instead we get the adventures of Brian and his childhood pal Roman (Tyrese Gibson) in Miami, where US Customs forces them to go undercover with a Cuban cartel run by Yellowstone star Cole Hauser. It's a pretty sloppily edited film, but this is the one where the series found its identity largely thanks to Tyrese's and Hauser's delightfully unhinged performances, not to mention the extra-long climactic chase sequence that involved a hundred-car scramble and concluded when Brian ramps his car from land onto a yacht that's moving down a river. It's not as pretty as the big stunts they do in later movies when they had budgets over $200 million, but it's still my favorite stunt in the series.
The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift (2006)
When we think of the biggest movie franchises, generally it's stuff like Marvel, Harry Potter, Star Wars (https://www.gamespot.com/gallery/star-wars-movies-in-order/2900-5590/), DC, James Bond (https://www.gamespot.com/gallery/james-bond-movies-in-order/2900-5662/)--mainstream pop culture around the world, spanning generations. One property that should be in that conversation of the Fast & Furious movies. Amazingly, the Fast & Furious franchise is the sixth biggest movie series of all time in terms of worldwide box office receipts--and there's at least one more movie to come.It's astonishing, because no one could have guessed we'd end up here during the early days. The first four movies in the series combined to gross just under a billion dollars at the global box office. It's a great total considering all of them had sub-$100 million budgets, but not much of an indication of what would come next: The seven Fast & Furious movies we've gotten since, starting with Fast Five and including the Hobbs & Shaw spinoff, have earned a combined $6 billion worldwide. It's a completely unique track record for a franchise that isn't based on any existing beloved IP--that extremely rare blockbuster movie franchise that's popular on its merits.We're now 11 movies deep, including a spin-off movie starring Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham, video games, a Netflix animated series, and more. Still, what's being labeled the final movie in the main series is series due in 2026. So you've got plenty of time to rewatch this whole epic car saga before then--and you absolutely should, because this series is one of a kind. Scroll on to find out the best place to stream each Fast & Furious flick.

https://www.ign.com/articles/warhammer-40000-space-marine-2-the-final-preview

You get to be an enormous, super strong, nearly invincible battering ram of post-human destruction, slinging retribution at uncountable hordes of xenos across beautiful and detailed battle spaces that bring this universe to life in a way it never has been before.
