Like many MMOs, the game has suffered a slow launch, mostly due to the huge numbers of players that wanted to log in on Day 1.

The 80s were a wonderful time in action cinema. Franchise media wasn’t as common as it is today. Instead, individual stars would get one incredibly absurd feature after another.

No Stallone film is more worthy of a comedic look back thanOver the Top. Stallone’s career took a while to take off....

Quick Links Anime andZeldafans alike have been fawning over HoYoverse’s hit,Genshin Impact. Much like its open-world influences, the game features countless items, monsters, and characters, hidden throughout its colorful locations, some — like the Philanemo Mushroom — rarer than others. Players may find themselves starting to perform Ascensions on their characters (and weapons), and those same players will most probably also find themselves in pursuit of some precious Philanemo Mushrooms. The mushrooms are used to Ascendseveral popular Hydro characters, and considering that the act of Ascension itself bumps up a character’s upper-level limit (in other words, the character can level up past their “max”), players will want to be sure they knowwhere to find Philanemo Mushrooms inGenshin Impact....

Over the years, thePokemonfranchise has expanded and grown to stretch across eight generations of Pokemon. The recently-announcedPokemon ScarletandPokemon Violetpromise a new region with some never-before-seen Pokemon. However, with well over 500 Pokemon, it wouldn’t hurt to explore older generations and give them a regional form or an evolution line.

Anyone who’s ever played aPokémongame probably has one question. Why are some of the gym leaders so dang weak? In Pokémon Sword and Shield, just like in the other mainline Pokémon games, players battle 8 gyms on their way to compete in the Pokémon League. And just like the other Pokémon games, some of the gym leaders have level 15, 20, or 30 Pokémon. RELATED:Pokémon Sword & Shield: The 10 Strongest Galar Pokémon, Ranked While Sword and Shield do a better job explaining why some gym leaders use weaker Pokémon through the idea of a gym league challenge, the idea of a trainer with level 100 Pokémon battling against fully realized gym leaders sounds like the ultimate Pokémon challenge....
