The trailer for Sonic the Hedgehog landed last week and honestly, it left us with more questions than answers. We hoped our fears that Sonic could potentially look terrifying and that the film seems awful would be washed away, leaving us with nothing but good feelings about a movie release based on one of our favorite childhood heroes....

Sometimes time goes by in the blink of an eye. It’s been six months since I became custodian of Geeks Vs Loneliness. I would like to repeat one of the key messages I made in my introductory post back in November 2018: “I feel it’s important to say that Geeks Vs Loneliness belongs to all of us – the writers and our editors, the readers, the commentators, the people who read quietly and engage in their own way....

Google Stadia launched on November 19 for early adopters who paid the $130 hardware kit and subscribed to the Stadia Pro subscription service, but sometime in 2020, the free version of Stadia will be available to everyone.

Though PlayStation fans are now able to change their original PlayStation Network (PSN) ID, this has created a few issues with games. In fact, there might be a big risk when it comes to changing your ID, as some games are unable to properly support the change.

Despite the flippant tone, we played some of The New Colossus at E3, and it’s shaping up to be very, very good....

Shooting Test #1, the latest effort in Fortnite: Battle Royale’s ongoing limited-time events, is now live across PS4, PC, and Xbox One.
