All playable characters in the game are able to manipulate one of these elements, with most drawing on the power of a Vision in order to do so. The Electro element is sometimes bemoaned for not having many uses, but despite this many of the characters with Electro Visions are actually very powerful. They may not be able to melt ice or freeze water like Pyro and Cryo characters can, but they still have the potential to serve as Primary DPS, Secondary DPS, or even support in some cases....

The fearless atomic lizard that is Godzilla is doing a great job at leading the modern MonsterVerse to success. The latest monster on the chopping block is the iconic King Kong, but there was also an appearance from a past enemy, Mechagodzilla, in Adam Wingard’s Godzilla vs. Kong. The built-up battle between the giant ape and Japan’s notorious kaiju did not fail to deliver on the special effects front. While the human story laced throughout still continues to underwhelm, Wingard did a commendable job at handling the titans, much to the audiences’ delight....

This review contains spoilers. 1.2 The Book Having delighted fans with fidelity to the novel and the crackling partnership between leads Crowley and Aziraphale in episode one, now comes the real work. Good Omens has a story to tell, and it’s sprawlingly ambitious.

With the Final Fantasy 7 Remake once again making headlines, and more news to come tonight during Square Enix’s E3 2019 press conference, confusion is growing once again. Square Enix has now announced the release date for Final Fantasy 7 Remake, but, oddly enough, failed to refer to the game’s previously believed multi-part release structure.

There’s no doubt that Fire Emblem: Three Houses is one of the best games in the series. It is incredibly polished, features a fun cast of characters and a great story, and is an all-around blast.

Today, we’re going to be going over a few ways to up the difficulty of your playthrough while not going overboard....

In order to really get everything that Fire Emblem: Three Houses has to offer, you’re going to have to play the game a couple of times over.
