Stardew Valley is available on pretty much every gaming platform at this point, but it's now branching into an entirely new medium. Stardew Valley: The Board Game was announced today by developer ConcernedApe, and even better: It's available to buy now. The official Stardew Valley board game costs $55, and you can get your copy through the Stardew Valley website. Unfortunately, orders ship only to the US for now. Get Stardew Valley: The Board Game According to the official website, Stardew Valley: The Board Game is a co-op game where you work together with other players to restore the Valley by building up your farm and growing crops, raising animals, and harvesting resources. Of course, a major part of Stardew Valley is also forming friendships with the local villagers, and that plays a role here as well--as you deepen your relationships, you'll earn hearts that reveal hidden goals. The ultimate goal, of course, is to prevent Joja Corporation from taking over and preserve the thriving local community of Pelican Town.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Character themes do a lot of heavy lifting, whether it's Danny Elfman's dark Batman theme, the mournful Binary Sunset from Star Wars, or a classic sitcom intro, they tell us a lot about a character in just a few seconds. One of the best and funniest character tracks, which debuted in WandaVision Episode 7 last week, is now available on Spotify.Spoilers follow for WandaVision Episode 7.While Wanda's emotional arc is certainly about her coping with the death of her robot boyfriend, Vision, there's more going on behind the scenes. It turns out that one Agatha Harkness has been pulling strings behind the scenes all along.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

If you boot up Apex Legends, you might notice that prior to character selection, you'll see a loading screen where Caustic is overlooking a place on Kings Canyon. If you head to that location, you'll find a cool map change, which may hint that a Caustic town takeover will be coming soon.The location in question is between Crash Site and Artillery, as noted by FrozenFroh on Twitter. The currently empty location previously sparked a comment from Caustic, who was fascinated by the toxic changes to the lakes after the fuel from the crashed ship leaked into the water. Now there's a giant gas canister there.pic.twitter.com/urop0tdpQA — David 🇵🇪 (@frozenfroh) February 23, 2021Next to the canister is a tablet, implied to be the one that Caustic was holding in the aforementioned loading screen. Interacting with it allows you to hear a recorded message left by Caustic.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

The MCU's third Spider-Man movie has been given not one but two titles thanks to stars Tom Holland, Zendaya, and Jacob Batalon's posts on Instagram, which have dubbed the movie Spider-Man: Home-Wrecker, Spider-Man: Home Slice, and Spider-Man: Phone Home, as well as teasing photos of Peter, MJ, and Ned from the movie.And it's not just the subtitles that contradict one another--the logo treatment in either post is completely different with Phone Home boasting some very green (Green Goblin, perhaps?) and yellow colors, Home Slice having a more vibrant pinkish purple loo, and Home-Wrecker going for a much more understated grey with blue and red drop shadows.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

While all resources in Valheim take an investment of time and effort to uncover and use, Iron is particularly tough to come by. You'll get to it about halfway through your quest through the game, but unlike Copper and Tin, which you'll use to make Bronze for weapons and armor, Iron isn't available to mine at first. Instead, you can only find Iron in specific places in the Swamp biome, and it's impossible to unlock those locations without taking down the boss of the Black Forest, The Elder.Here's everything you need to know to harvest Iron, including where you can get it, what you need to do to earn it, and what you can turn it into once you have it.What To Do FirstBefore you're ready to start harvesting and using Iron, you need to make some serious strides through the Meadows and Black Forest biomes. Iron is located in the Swamp biome, which is home to some tough customers in Valheim's mid-game. The Swamps have enemies that wield poison, like Blobs, plus tougher combatants such as Draugrs who can make quick work of you with their bows if you're not paying attention.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Razer has revealed a brand-new, high-end webcam that features an adaptive light sensor and a wide-angle lens. The adaptive light sensor compensates for darker and overexposed lighting environments, while the wide-angle allows for an adjustable image, letting users customize how much of their scene their audience can see. The Kiyo Pro webcam is $200 at Amazon right now. Razer Kiyo Pro webcam $200 The Razer Kiyo Pro webcam works well in low-light environments, features HDR support, and boasts an adjustable FOV.

The low-light sensor also works better in low-light rooms than the Kiyo's LED ring light.

Streaming services give us access to thousands of hours of content, with only licensing agreements to act as curation. That's tantalizing for us grown-ups, but it's a far cry from the crafted experiences of specific television channels or a DVD collection. Parental controls are crucial to help make sure our kids--from toddler to teen--are able to watch the shows appropriate, and while Disney+ has lacked them since its launch in 2019, that's no longer the case.Disney+ added parental controls this week, which feature a variety of age ranges, as well as the ability to add a PIN to lock profiles that have access to mature content so that you can still watch the Muppet Show on your profile, but keep control over what your children see. By default, accounts are set to view TV-14 and PG-13 content and below, which encompasses everything currently on Disney+.Age Profiles for the service are as follows:Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

TV writers are usually working on the season that's currently airing or, at most, the upcoming season. But Rick and Morty flouts convention left and right, and so, too, do its writers. The Rick and Morty writers' room is now working on Season 7, before even Season 5 has debuted.Writer Alex Reubens, who also put in time on Rick and Morty creator Dan Harmon's NBC show Community, revealed the news with a cheeky post to Twitter asking, "Am I allowed to say we started writing Rick and Morty Season 7? (if not we didn't and I'm not)."Way back in October 2020, Dan Harmon confirmed at Paleyfest NY that the writing team was "more on schedule than we've ever been," with the team "very late into the process of writing Season 6." At the same time, Harmon said he was reviewing animatics for Season 5 episodes.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Persona 5 Strikers has finally launched worldwide for PlayStation 4, PC, and Switch, and you probably know by now that it's a sorta-sequel spinoff that continues the timeline of Persona 5. But with the original RPG not being available on non-PlayStation platforms, the question of whether or not newcomers can still enjoy Strikers is a pertinent one. And the simple answer is: Yes, but your mileage will vary.In my Persona 5 Strikers review, I praised the game's action-RPG combat mechanics, excellent soundtrack, and new characters, among other things. And the fact that I got to see my old friends, the Phantom Thieves, again as they go on a summer vacation to enjoy life and save the world one more time was a real treat. The opening hours do spend time plainly re-establishing the personality traits of its returning cast, but of course, it's not the same as seeing them grow into who they are in their 100-hour journey prior. So if you want to have a really deep bond with the cast, I'd recommend playing Royal first.Nevertheless, the charisma of the Phantom Thieves shines through in how they express themselves and fight in the Metaverse, the alternate dimension where all the battles take place. If they don't make a strong impression on you when meeting them in their normal lives, they're sure to win you over with the way they stylishly tear through demonic adversaries. Their personas, special attacks, and unique animations in Strikers really embody the Phantom Thieves' fighting spirit, and that alone says a lot about who they are.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

The first Iron Banner event of Destiny 2's Season of the Chosen has arrived, and with it comes the Saladin's Gauntlet quest. This season-long quest gives you the opportunity to earn a bunch of key gear from the competitive multiplayer event, including armor.

The good news is that you only need five such kills to advance.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Could Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson become president of the United States of America one day? Honestly, at this point, anything seems possible. Currently, the WWE wrestler-turned-action movie icon stars on NBC's Young Rock, which is about his childhood, though through the framing device of Johnson being interviewed while actually running for president. That's fictional for now. However, WWE legend The Undertaker sounds like he wishes it were really happening.In an interview with TMZ Sports, The Undertaker--who officially retired from the squared circle in late 2020--supported the idea of Johnson seeking the office of president. "That man works his tail off and he dives in wholeheartedly in everything that he does and if he gets his mindset that he wants to make a run at politics, ya know what? I think he'll do it," The Undertaker said.What's more, the former leader of the Ministry of Darkness and the self-proclaimed American Badass thinks Johnson would be a good fit for the job. "He's so charming, he's so witty, I think he can be the uniter that people are looking for," The Undertaker continued, adding, "I don't know man, there's so many possibilities and if that's what he chooses to do, I'll support wholeheartedly in his efforts to do so." That's a nice thing for him to say, considering in the past The Rock--in the name of pro wrestling--told the Undertaker he had Mickey Mouse tattoos and a 33-pound head.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Capcom's Ghost 'n Goblins franchise has a very specific reputation. Whether you played the Arcade or NES version of Ghosts 'n Goblins, Ghouls 'n Ghosts on the Genesis, or Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts on the SNES, working through these games felt like pushing a boulder up a mountain or pulling teeth. A little over 35 years later, Ghosts 'n Goblins Resurrection remixes and revives those games into a platformer that looks new but, perhaps unsurprisingly, embodies that same boulder-pushing, teeth-pulling gameplay. Its modern flourishes soften the blow a bit from time to time, but Resurrection is still defined by punishing, borderline cruel tactics that game designers have long-since outgrown.Ghosts 'n Goblins Resurrection is a new game, but it functionally retells the Ghosts 'n Goblins story. The basic mechanical structure of the series remains intact, too: You run and jump from left to right, throwing javelins, knives, flaming potions, and other weapons at a seemingly endless onslaught of zombies, scythe-wielding skeletons, and winged demons. Famously, you begin the level clad in armor but lose some of it every time you take a hit until you're inevitably hopping around in heart-adorned boxers.Resurrection derives large chunks--level themes, sequences, and bosses--from previous games, most notably Ghouls 'n Ghosts. Some of the series' distinctive bosses and sequences are reimagined in Resurrection's pencil-style art, which smartly breathes a lot more color and whimsy into a series that's always felt more cheeky than spooky. Not every reference to the old games is pulled literally from an older game; some, like the now-towering gray cyclops from Ghosts 'n Goblins, are more liberal reinterpretations. Even the enemies and sequences you can trace back to a specific point in a previous game are not identical to their predecessors, and it doesn't feel like replaying a portion of another game, but it's a potent dose of nostalgia.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Ded_Sec is about to get a little bit bigger when Watch Dogs: Legion finally adds in online multiplayer on March 9. And while it's fun to just get into trouble with your friends in the game's giant open-world rendition of London, hacking everything and creating havoc, the really interesting stuff in the multiplayer mode is going to require you and your teammates to get serious about your revolution against Albion and big tech.We recently got a chance to spend a few hours trying Watch Dogs: Legion Online, doing everything from dancing on top of cars to taking on high-level endgame content. And Legion runs the gamut, borrowing ideas from similar live games like Destiny 2 or The Division 2 to provide players with a bunch of options for how they want to spend their time. Watch Dogs: Legion's most interesting idea--recruiting any character you come across in the world and using them as a member of your revolutionary hacker group--carries forward in the online mode, and it's even cooler when you can work together with teammates to put together the perfect hacker squad for a mission.The experience is at once very similar to Watch Dogs: Legion's single-player mode, and very different. The online side of the game offers a lot of variety in stuff you can do, ranging from solo missions and low-key public events to very involved, multi-stage cooperative operations. The best part is the opportunity to combine all the tools you get in Legion, like hacking surveillance cameras to recon an area and calling giant drones that let you ride high above roaming security, with the teamwork you get from other human players. But that combination can also make Legion Online very tough, with the game expecting you to work together in combat and to solve problems. This is likely not an online game you want to take on with random players on your squad.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Disney+ has added a disclaimer that automatically plays before 18 episodes of the recently added The Muppet Show, warning viewers about "negative depictions" and "mistreatment of people or cultures… these stereotypes were wrong then and are wrong now." The message displays before the corresponding episode will play, but does not indicate what specific content it necessarily refers to.While The Guardian recently reported on the disclaimers being added, it also speculated the addition of these messages was favored instead of cutting the flagged episodes. But as Entertainment Weekly points out, this doesn't seem to be the case: Two episodes from Season 5 (featuring guest stars Brooke Shields and Chris Langham respectively) feature major, noticeable edits, perhaps due to music licensing issues. However, as Disney has not yet commented on the matter the reasons for these changes are unclear.But you can always count on eagle-eyed fans on Reddit to try to fill in the blanks. On r/Muppets, ItachiIshtar has made educated guesses on why this disclaimer was added to each episode--sparking a conversation about the irony of Disney's use of these warnings to "spark conversation to create a more inclusive future together," but needing to go to Reddit to find explanations and discussions.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com
