The foundational elements of a Lego game have remained largely unchanged for 20+ years: Smash everything into bricks and studs, collect characters by the dozens, then use those characters to jump back into levels to solve puzzles that were previously gated off. Lego Horizon Adventures has a little bit of that DNA, and moving back to a fixed camera like the pre-Skywalker Saga games makes it look like a classic Lego game of yesteryear, but after playing 30 minutes in single-player and co-op, I came away thinking of it as the most cinematic Lego game to date. Rather than intensely focus on smashing and collecting things, it’s putting the focus on Guerrilla’s story–and putting that story through a kid-friendly filter.
“We were determined to make a Lego game unlike…
Sega recently filed trademarks for Skies of Arcadia and Eternal Arcadia, leaving fans hopeful that some sort of remaster or new entry in the Skies of Arcadia RPG series.
According to Gematsu, the two trademarks were filed on January 16 and made public on January 24. Skies of Arcadia, known as Eternal Arcadia in Japan, was a critically acclaimed RPG from Sega that launched in 2000 for the Dreamcast. It was later ported over to the Nintendo GameCube in 2002 as Skies of Arcadia Legends.
Skies of Arcadia follows Vyse, Aika, and Fina, who are part of a group of air pirates called the Blue Rogues as they resist against the tyrannical Valuan Empire. Additional ports of Skies of Arcadia have been highly requested by fans throughout the years, although Skies of Arcadia Legends has ne…
During San Diego Comic-Con, Showtime shocked fans and announced a new Dexter TV show that brings back Michael C. Hall. Dexter: Resurrection, as it’s called, is the next series from the franchise, which takes place in the present day.
The 2021 spin-off Dexter: New Blood ended with Dexter lying dead in the freezing cold snow. But Dexter didn’t actually die, it seems.
“I don’t know what I am authorized to say other than, it’s really cold out there,” Hall told Variety. Whereas the original Dexter series was set in Miami, New Blood took the series to a much-colder climate. The setting and story for Resurrection is unknown for now.
Creator and showrunner Clyde Phillips previously confirmed that “Dexter is dead” after the events of New Blood, but in Hollywood, anything is pos…
If you missed out on Lego Atari 2600 deal earlier this month at Amazon and Target, you now have another chance to save big on this awesome retro gaming building set. Walmart has slashed the price of the 2,532-piece Atari 2600 Lego Icons Set to $150 (was $240). It’s not quite as good of a deal–it was briefly available for $135 at Amazon–but this is still likely to sell out pretty fast.
This is a great set for experienced builders. Once you’ve assembled it, you’ll have a replica console with functioning switches, a brick-built Atari joystick designed to move like the original controller, and even several cartridges to display.
It’s worth pointing out that this is an Atari console in looks only, but the other retro surprise includes a hidden gaming room straight out of the ‘8…
Russia forward Andrei Arshavin is well up to handling all the interest from media and clubs triggered by his starring role in his country s journey to the Euro 2008 semi-finals, coach Guus Hiddink stressed on Wednesday.
Arshavin, who has made such an impression in Russia s final group game against Sweden and the quarter-final win over Holland, wants to leave his club Zenit St Petersburg for either England or Spain.
Barcelona, his boyhood club, and Arsenal are among those who reportedly have his name on their summer shopping lists.
Hiddink, asked on the eve of the last four clash with Spain whether all the attention was distracting Arshavin, shook his head and replied: Not at all, it s good for him.
Every tournament needs its attractive teams, and in …
Rafael Leao wants to stay at Milan amid interest from Europe s elite clubs, with his agent slamming false and misleading information regarding his contract talks with the Rossoneri.
The Portugal international was integral as Milan ended an 11-year wait for the Scudetto last season, scoring 11 Serie A goals for Stefano Pioli s title-winning side.
That led to increased speculation over a move away, with the likes of Real Madrid, Liverpool and Paris Saint-Germain credited with an interest in the forward.
With the 23-year-old s contract set to expire in June 2024, Milan remain confident they can agree fresh terms as Leao s agent Ted Dimvula reiterated his client s desire to stay at San Siro.
There is a lot of false and misleading information about Rafael Le…
Mikel Arteta is concerned by Arsenal s reliance on Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang but believes it is pure maths they will start to score if they perform as they did against Wolves.
The Gunners were beaten 2-1 at home to Wolves on Sunday and sit 14th in the Premier League table after 10 matches.
Arteta s side have scored just 10 goals in this time, with captain Aubameyang the Premier League Golden Boot winner the season before last netting only twice from 18 shots.
The forward drew another blank at Emirates Stadium last time out, yet Arteta was encouraged by Arsenal s attacking intent.
They had 13 shots against Wolves a joint-high for Arsenal this season but only two hit the target, while 35 crosses were sent in, albeit a meagre three found a red shirt.
Real Madrid fired another blank as their LaLiga title hopes were further dented in a goalless draw away at Real Betis.
The reigning champions knew there was no real margin for error at Estadio Benito Villamarin following Barcelona s narrow 1-0 home win over Valencia earlier on Sunday.
However, on the back of failing to register an attempt on target in their 1-0 Copa del Rey semi-final first-leg loss to Barca, Madrid once again failed to click in attack.
Karim Benzema had a first-half goal ruled out by VAR, but Carlo Ancelotti s side were otherwise subdued as they could only close the gap on leaders Barca to nine points.

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger says Alexis Sanchez should not be considered a mercenary for opting to join Manchester United rather than renewing his contract at the Emirates Stadium.
Sanchez made the move to Old Trafford on Monday, with Henrikh Mkhitaryan switching the other way in a swap deal.
The Chilean is reported to be earning £350,000 a week at Old Trafford, vastly in excess of Arsenal s top-earning players, having entered the last six months of his Gunners contract without penning fresh terms.
Wenger previously appeared to suggest Sanchez had moved for money, citing the forward s desire to secure his last contract and claiming he cannot understand why the 29-year-old wanted to leave Arsenal.
But the Frenchman appeared to row back on his comments w…
