For Honor's patch 2.29 update is out now, and it adds a new hero in the form of Kyoshin, a spiritual samurai who is a master of fighting with a concealed blade, and utilizes katana, scabbard, and otherworldly powers to cut down foes.Kyoshin is rated as a hard-difficulty character with a counter-attack focused fighting style. A special stance, Kaze Stance, will allow players to block attacks and then follow-up with quick combos, all while utilizing a variety of unblockable and undodgeable mix-up attacks. Kyoshin's fighting style is a bit different from other For Honor heroes, using not only a blade but also its scabbard, which makes for some fancy-looking combos.But the new hero isn't the only thing coming in For Honor's latest update. Some slight UI changes are coming, as well as a number of bug fixes for maps and various heroes.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

As is the case with most villains, Sauron is probably not dead--and scientists have discovered a new underwater volcano resembling the omnipresent Eye of Sauron, indicating he's always watching and his power is always around.In a report for The Conversation, Museums Victoria's senior curator of marine invertebrates Tim O'Hara said the underwater volcano was "revealed by multibean sonar 3,100 meters below" the RV Investigator research vessel. The oval formation, known as a caldera, is approximately 4mi by 3mi across. It has a rim that's a little over a tenth of a mile high, as well as a tenth of a mile high cone-shaped peak at the center where the actual "pupil" is housed.In essence, a caldera is a collapsed volcano. The molten magma travels upwards and, because of the empty chambers this creates, the volcano's dome surface caves in on itself. This causes a large crater where a small peaks often tends to form while the volcano continues to spew hot magma.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

The newest arrival to the Disney+ streaming service, Behind the Attraction, looks at the complicated and long history of creating Disney's most iconic rides and experiences at its theme parks around the world. From creator Brian Volk-Weiss (The Toys That Made Us), the series strikes a familiarly snarky tone as it tackles some of the most beloved rides Disney has ever come up with. Still, there are some episodes that may have you scratching your head--and there's a reason for that.While the first batch of episodes from Season 1 of Behind the Attraction dig into the past of rides like Jungle Cruise, the Haunted Mansion, and Star Tours, there are some curious choices made along the way, including the Disneyland hotel and--perhaps most puzzling of all--an episode titled "Trains, Trams, and Monorails," which is all about the history of transportation around Disney's parks.Speaking to GameSpot, Volk-Weiss admitted that particular episode was his personal passion project on the series. "There were three pots," he explained. "The first pot was there's got to be attractions that are like, 'Why wouldn't that be in Season 1? How could they do this without a Space Mountain episode?' Then there was another group that was things that you may not [have expected]. I think a lot of people wouldn't have done Twilight Zone Tower of Terror in Season 1... And then the third one, which was only one episode, is what a British guy called my joker [card]. And that is basically me saying, 'Please let me make this episode. Please let me make this episode.' And that was 'Trains, Trams and Monorails.'"Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Hollywood screenwriter David Goyer has shared a story about one of the worst notes he received from a studio executive for one of his movies. Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, Goyer said he received a bewildering note from the studio for the Superman movie Man of Steel.The studio told Goyer he needed to change the ending to Man of Steel and make it so the pod that Superman uses to help save the day doesn't get destroyed. The studio executives said this had to change because, if the pod was destroyed, how would Superman return to Krypton? The only thing is... Krypton was already destroyed."One note I got was on Man of Steel, where the ending involves Superman utilizing the pod that he arrived in as a child in order to bring down General Zod's ship," Goyer said. "The note we got from the studio said, 'You have to change that.' We asked why. They said, 'Because if Superman uses that pod and it's destroyed while saving the city, how is he ever going to get back home to Krypton?' There was just this long pause and we said, 'Krypton blew up. You saw 30 minutes of it!'"Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

The best multiplayer Switch games Among Us Among Us is one of the most novel multiplayer games in recent years. Though it launched back in 2018, it didn't find widespread popularity until last year. Among Us revolves around both teamwork and deception. Up to 15 crew members are dropped into one of four maps. Players are assigned maintenance tasks to complete, but a select few players are randomly designated as imposters: saboteurs whose sole purpose is to disrupt tasks and kill the hardworking crew. Together, the crew can decipher the identities of the imposters and eliminate them from the game using a voting system. Among Us offers a tantalizing mix of stealth and deception, and it feels right at home on Nintendo Switch. It's a great social party game to play with friends, and the premise makes each match feel distinct. Plus, it's super cheap at just $5. Among Us' local multiplayer requires everyone to have their own Nintendo Switch and copy of the game. See on Switch eShop Animal Crossing: New Horizons Though much of your time in Animal Crossing: New Horizons may be spent tending to your own island paradise, part of the joy of the life simulation game is sharing your experiences with friends and family. New Horizons lets you visit other islands to see what your fellow Animal Crossing players are up to. You can share resources, help plan new additions to your islands, and converse with the various villagers that occupy each scenic getaway. It's possible to turn New Horizons into a collaborative experience, and considering that New Horizons' loop is never-ending, it's an ideal multiplayer experience to jump into at the end of a long day.See our Animal Crossing: New Horizons review. See at Amazon Clubhouse Games: 51 Worldwide Classics For the ultimate bang for your buck, check out Clubhouse Games: 51 Worldwide Classics. As the name suggests, Clubhouse Games features a staggering number of classic games to play online or locally with up to four players. From staples like checkers, chess, and mancala to sports such as bowling, darts, and baseball, Clubhouse Games has a little bit of everything. All of the games have great presentation value and tutorials that help you learn the ropes of games you're unfamiliar with. It's a superb digital collection that has a pick-up-and-play mentality that makes it great for both short spurts and lengthy sessions. See at Amazon Cuphead Studio MDHR's Cuphead is a love letter to classic cartoons and side-scrolling run-and-guns. Stylized to look and sound like cartoons from the 1930s, Cuphead is an absolute marvel. It's also a challenging game filled with elaborate boss battles and tricky run-and-gun stages. Though it arguably makes the game even more difficult in spots, playing two-player local co-op is a rewarding way to experience this modern masterpiece. You and a buddy can team up as Cuphead and his brother Mugman on a quest to secure soul contracts to save your own soul from the dastardly devil. Cuphead has simple mechanics, but its unforgiving difficulty places emphasis on fast and precise moves to avoid dying. For those who love boss rush games and are up for a hearty challenge, Cuphead is a delightful cooperative multiplayer adventure for Nintendo Switch.See our Cuphead review. See on Switch eShop Diablo 3: Eternal Collection Diablo 3 may be almost a decade old at this point, but it's still one of the best cooperative action-RPGs you can play in 2021. Up to four players can dive into Diablo 3's demonic world locally or online. With seven classes to choose from, a near-endless variety of loot to uncover, and a breakneck pace that keeps the action going at all times, Diablo 3 is a thoroughly engrossing isometric RPG. The Eternal Collection includes the immensely replayable main campaign, Reaper of Souls expansion, and the Necromancer expansion. Diablo 3's campaigns and endgame content can easily create hundreds of hours of fun, and revolving seasonal content adds even more to the package. Another great thing about Diablo 3 is that it's not intensive from a gameplay perspective, which opens it up to players of all skill levels who want to team up and take on hordes of vicious demons.See our Diablo 3: Eternal Collection review. See on Switch eShop The Jackbox Party Pack series The Jackbox Party Pack series has been going strong since 2014, amassing a whopping seven compilations of unique party games that can be played. While it's almost impossible to narrow down the best entry in the series, all seven editions contain five party games that support as many as 10 players for local multiplayer. Besides the absurd fun that the mix of trivia, word games, guessing games and more provide, Jackbox has a key feature that makes it ideal for actual parties. Instead of using Switch controllers, players use phones, tablets, or computers to play, which means you don't need to buy a bunch of controllers for your next big get-together. Some of the best games within the series include Fibbage, Quiplash, Drawful, and Tee K.O. Variations on these games can be found in a lot of the Party Packs, but it's not a bad idea to choose an edition with a couple of these. The first three games in the series all have two of those party games. See on Switch eShop Just Dance 2021 Just Dance has always felt at home on Nintendo consoles due to motion controls. The latest entry in the series, Just Dance 2021, is no exception. Featuring more than 40 songs, including tracks by The Weeknd, Billie Eilish, and Harry Styles, Just Dance 2021 is loaded with both modern and classic hits that encourage you to get up on your feet and move to the beat with the Joy-Con controllers. Just Dance 2021 features local multiplayer that lets you dance against a friend to see who can secure the highest score. There's also a cool online mode called World Dance Floor that pits you against dancers from all over the world. It features seasonal leaderboards, tournaments, and multiple rooms for various skill levels. Just Dance 2021 is a great way to get a workout and compete at the same time. Keep in mind that Just Dance requires a decent amount of open space, especially if you're playing local multiplayer. See at Amazon Mario Golf: Super Rush Mario Golf: Super Rush doesn't reach the same heights as some previous Mario sports games, but it still offers an eclectic mix of competitive multiplayer modes that are great whether you're playing locally or online with up to four players. Super Rush introduces Speed Golf, a fast-paced mode that literally asks golfers to run to their ball before the next shot. Finding the balance between speed and precision is key to coming out on top. There's also a frantic Battle Golf mode that pits you against other players in a stadium course where the objective is to capture three flags as quickly as possible. Of course, you can still play regular golf as well if you're looking for a more leisurely experience. Super Rush doesn't have online tournaments, which is a bit of a bummer, but there's still enough here to satisfy sports fans looking for some lighthearted fun on the links.See our Mario Golf: Super Rush review. See at Amazon Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, an enhanced port of the standout Wii U kart racer, remains the best racing game on Switch more than four years after its release. It features a staggering variety of tracks, both old and new, a ton of different playable characters, and robust multiplayer features that never tire whether you're playing locally or online. Alongside the 32 standard tracks is a greatly expanded Battle Mode featuring eight courses. With tight controls, loads of customization, and enough content to keep the racing fresh, it's no surprise that Mario Kart 8 Deluxe remains one of the best-selling Switch games years after its release.See our Mario Kart 8 Deluxe review. See at Amazon Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order After being dormant for a decade, the Marvel Ultimate Alliance series returned exclusively for Nintendo Switch with The Black Order. The new entry in the series retains the isometric perspective and beat-'em-up gameplay of its predecessors, which makes it feel decidedly retro in some ways. The Black Order's original story takes cues from recent Avengers movies while adding a whole host of other heroes and villains. With more than 45 playable characters--each of whom has their own unique moves--and a lengthy campaign that sees you and your teammates take on plenty of supervillains, The Black Order is the best game for Marvel fans on Switch. It's built specifically for co-op in mind, as you always have a team of four heroes, which can be controlled by other players or the CPU. The Black Order supports local and online co-op, and it's great for both adults and young Marvel fans.See our Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order review. See at Amazon Minecraft Dungeons Minecraft Dungeons is another isometric action-RPG that borrows the world of Microsoft's ridiculously popular sandbox game. It's worthy of the name, though. Minecraft Dungeons features drop-in, drop-out local and online multiplayer for up to four players. It can be compared to Diablo 3, only with more lighthearted themes that make it appropriate for kids as well. Minecraft Dungeons features an easy-to-grasp battle system, colorful maps littered with enemies and secrets, and a lengthy campaign that excels due to a great loot and upgrade system. We'd recommend Minecraft Dungeons to all action-RPG fans regardless of whether you like Minecraft or not.See our Minecraft Dungeons review. See at Amazon Monster Hunter Rise Monster Hunter Rise is one of the best Switch games to release this year, and it also happens to be one of the greatest action-RPGs to play with friends on the hybrid console. A brand-new entry in the series, Monster Hunter Rise includes new maps and monsters as well as a bunch of old favorites. If you've never played a Monster Hunter game before, you should know that the series is somewhat unique. Most quests revolve around hunting and killing/capturing a large monster--each of which has dynamic movesets and a ton of health, which often makes hunts a pretty lengthy endeavor. When you combine that structure with the intricate combat and item systems, you have yourself an in-depth action-RPG that takes some getting used to. That said, it's well worth the learning curve. Monster Hunter Rise is absolutely loaded with story and endgame content, and hunts are even more satisfying when playing alongside three friends. Rise supports online and local multiplayer, but each player needs their own console. If you wind up enjoying Rise, you should definitely check out Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate, which is essentially the greatest hits of the series' pre-Monster Hunter World installments.See our Monster Hunter Rise review. See at Amazon New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe is a superb compilation containing New Super Mario Bros. U and New Super Luigi U. Together, they feature a staggering 168 platforming levels that can be played via local co-op with up to four players. New Super Mario Bros. U features some of the best level design in series history, and New Super Luigi U offers a fast-paced spin on the classic side-scrolling formula. The Switch port also adds a pair of new characters: Toadette and Nabbit. These characters are particularly great if you want to team up with youngsters, as Nabbit is invulnerable to damage and Toadette has a power-up that turns her into a soaring Princess Peach. New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe is great fun for the whole family.See our New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe review. See at Amazon Splatoon 2 Splatoon 2 remains one of the best competitive multiplayer games on Switch four years after its release. Starring Inklings and Octolings armed with various paint weapons, teams compete to cover the map with paint and eliminate opposing players. Splatoon 2 has a variety of competitive game modes to play in both casual and ranked matches. If you prefer teaming up to take on a singular objective, the Salmon Run co-op mode lets squads of up to four battle waves of enemies. While Splatoon 2 doesn't get as many updates nowadays, it still features a lively and passionate community. Splatoon 3 is expected to release in 2022 for Nintendo Switch.See our Splatoon 2 review. See at Amazon Stardew Valley Though Stardew Valley originally started as an ode to Harvest Moon, it gradually grew into something much more original. Years after its release, Stardew Valley is still one of the best farming simulation games ever made, which is quite impressive considering the original release was made by one developer. While Stardew Valley is an excellent farming sim when you play solo, it can be even better when you join up with some trusty farmhands. Stardew Valley supports four-player online co-op as well as local split-screen co-op as of update 1.5 (wireless local co-op is an option, too). Much like Animal Crossing, Stardew Valley's multiplayer lets you invite friends to your farm to work together tending crops, accumulate resources, and adventure through the mines. It's a quiet multiplayer experience, but it offers a nice way to unwind. Also, Stardew Valley can be quite the time sink. It's not unfathomable to spend hundreds of hours in this cozy virtual world.See our Stardew Valley review. See at Best Buy Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury is two games in one package. Super Mario 3D World is an excellent port of the Wii U hit, complete with four-player local co-op. While it features standard self-contained levels, they are all rendered in 3D with full control of Mario, bridging the gap between two styles of Mario platformers to create an awesome mashup. Bowser's Fury is brand-new to Nintendo Switch. It's a shorter experience, but it also takes place in one open world, giving you an entirely new Mario platforming adventure where you gradually unlock new areas and take on a massive Bowser. We're recommending this mainly for 3D World's co-op. While Bowser's Fury does feature co-op (the second player controls Bowser Jr.), it's not super enjoyable for the person who isn't controlling Mario. Regardless, Super Mario 3D World's co-op is well worth the price of admission if you're looking for another family-friendly multiplayer game.See our Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury review. See at Amazon Super Mario Maker 2 Super Mario Maker 2 offers a virtually endless supply of 2D Mario fun thanks to a massive database filled with user-created courses and the ability to create your own. As such, Super Mario Maker 2 really is a game that revolves around the community. You can create 2D Mario levels with a friend on one console, tackle diabolical courses together with up to four players in local co-op, or head online to Course World to play a variety of competitive and cooperative game modes. Super Mario Maker 2 even has a World Maker feature, so you can essentially create a whole Mario game to play with friends and family. Whether you want to dabble in course creation or not, Super Mario Maker 2 is an excellent multiplayer experience for Mario enthusiasts and casual players alike.See our Super Mario Maker 2 review. See at Amazon Super Mario Party Ideal for family game nights, Super Mario Party is the latest entry in the long-running Nintendo series. The main game mode follows the classic Mario Party loop. Each player rolls the dice and moves across the board collecting coins and those elusive stars. At the end of each turn, you compete in a fast-paced minigame. If you've played a Mario Party game before, you know that the tides can change quickly, so you never know what's going to happen when the Mushroom Kingdom gang squares off. In addition to the standard mode, there's a new Partner Party co-op mode that adds a layer of strategy thanks to a grid-based movement system that places greater emphasis on your decision making. You can also join up with up to three teammates in the River Survival mode or compete in the rhythm-based games in Sound Stage. Super Mario Party has online and local multiplayer for up to four players. Mario Party Superstars, the next entry in the series, releases October 29 for Nintendo Switch.See our Super Mario Party review. See at Amazon Super Smash Bros. Ultimate With more than 100 stages and 74 fighters (not including DLC characters), Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is the biggest entry in the iconic fighting game series yet. Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is great for both casual and competitive players thanks to a wide variety of online and local multiplayer modes. Smash has long been a fighting game that's easy to jump into, and Ultimate is no exception. You can also join up with friends in local co-op to take on Spirit Board challenges or play through classic mode. Up to eight players can play competitively on one console (with single Joy-Con controls), which is a great feature for parties.See our Super Smash Bros. Ultimate review. See at Amazon Yoshi's Crafted World Yoshi's Crafted World is an especially good pick for those looking for a lighthearted co-op game to play with youngsters. The levels are designed to look like cardboard, which gives them a cutesy aesthetic that feels ripped from a child's imagination. The side-scrolling levels have some 3D depth to them, which makes them feel different than earlier Yoshi platformers. Each of the themed worlds has a distinct flavor, cool boss battles, and tons of secrets to uncover. You can play local co-op with two players on one console. If one player is having trouble with a tricky platforming section, they can simply hop on the other Yoshi's back for assistance. Yoshi's Crafted World also has a breezy "mellow" mode that makes it even more welcoming to newcomers.See our Yoshi's Crafted World review. See at GameStop Info from Gamespot.com

A smart artist will usually let people talk about their work without interjecting--you don't get anywhere by shutting down conversation. Sometimes you have to jump in, though, and for Loki director Kate Herron, for Loki director Kate Herron, that point came after that kiss in the show's final episode, she revealed in an interview with Polygon. Spoilers follow for the final episode of Marvel's Loki."My interpretation of it is that they're both Lokis, but they aren't the same person," Herron explained. "I don't see them as being like brother and sister. They have completely different backgrounds... and I think that's really important to her character. They sort of have the same role in terms of the universe and destiny, but they won't make the same decisions.""[The show is] looking at the self and asking 'what makes us?'" Herron continued. "I mean, look at all the Lokis across the show, they're all completely different. I think there's something beautiful about his romantic relationship with Sylvie, but they're not interchangeable."Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

The Green Knight, a horror-themed retelling of the legend of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, will not be hitting theaters in the U.K., according to The Hollywood Reporter.The decision was reportedly made by the film's UK distributor in response to COVID-19 concerns. The country is in the midst of a COVID-19 Delta variant surge, which THR says could cause other similar moves in the market. Filming on many active productions, like Netflix's Bridgerton and HBO's House of the Dragon, has also paused.Directed and written by David Lowery, The Green Knight stars Dev Patel in the role of Sir Gawain, along with Alicia Vikander (Tomb Raider), Joel Edgerton, and others. First reactions to the COVID-delayed film are overwhelmingly positive, with Slashfilm's Hoai-Tran Bui calling it "mesmerizing, transporting, [and] magnificently bizarre." Screenrant's Alisha Grauso called the film David Lowery's best work, "simultaneously dreamy and sensual, brutal and bleak."Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

The event will take place August 14-15 and will feature Eevee, giving you another chance to get some Shiny Eevee evolutions.As the featured Pokemon, Eevee will be appearing more frequently in the wild than usual throughout the entire weekend, meaning you'll also have an increased chance of finding a Shiny.
