There is a huge roster of characters you can use to build your team of three, but they are all not unlocked from the start. Like past Ultimate Alliance games, most of the characters will be unlocked as you progress through the story. But there are a few secret characters that you’ll need to unlock through other means. If you want to collect all the Marvel heroes, villains and everything in between, here’s exactly how you do it in Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3....

The pack in question contains new costumes for Captain America, Thor, Iron Man, Ryu, Chris Redfield, and Dante. And yes, unlike the costumes already in place, these are actual costumes and not just alternate colors. Like the alternate colors, however, some of the costumes draw from the respective characters’ histories to add that extra bit of fanservice for the fans. Below we have Chris in his green and white outfit way back from the original Resident Evil game....

According to a report from Patch News, six men and women armed with anti-mask signs and pamphlets protested outside Hawthorne Elementary School on Wednesday. A Beverly Hills school district spokesperson confirmed to the outlet that the group timed their demonstration to catch students at dismissal between 2:15 p.m. and 3:30 p.m. Footage of the maskless group’s efforts to get children to abandon their face coverings was posted in a Twitter thread by Beverly Hills Courier reporter Samuel Braslow....

Game Informer went into the Edmonton-based BioWare studio for a different purpose, but ended up coming out with some fantastic shots of the alternative Mass Effect covers by the end of the day. When the first game of an entire series is placed on the shelves, it needs to have an eye-catching quality that is sure to get noticed by consumers. Picking a cover is a pretty high-pressure task, and it’s really interesting to think about what could have been the Mass Effect cover as we know it....

The comic covers the main plot points of Mass Effect in under 15 minutes and is narrated by Mark Meer or Jennifer Hale (the male and female Commander Shepards). Players (readers?) are able to make choices at key points, such as who to court and the decision to spare or kill squadmate Wrex and the rachni Queen – choices that, of course, have consequences reaching into the sequels. While some gamers believe this is a last-minute cash grab by BioWare and EA, and while most Xbox owners who are also Mass Effect fans will have already played the original space epic, there are certainly a few stragglers out there who want to save those 25+ hours before diving into Mass Effect 2....

Update: Operation Goliath was a success! Though, over the past week or so, it has been Mass Effect 3’s single player, specifically its ending, that has been getting the bulk of gamers’ attention — with everything from a petition to donations being collected in an effort to alter the game’s events — there is still a whole other portion of the game that BioWare wants gamers to get interested in....

That said, with the release of a new Mass Effect 3 trailer, “Special Forces,” focusing exclusively on multiplayer gameplay, BioWare has put their best foot forward in reassuring fans that the co-operative portions of the game might be just as fun and engrossing as the single-player story. Of course we won’t know anything for sure until the servers are live and players actually test out the multiplayer; however, there’s no doubt that the “Special Forces” trailer makes good on a lot of our expectations....

Earlier, Singhraj Adhana managed a 569 -18x points to finish 6th while his compatriot Manish Narwal finished on top during the qualification round. The 39-year-old made a remarkable comeback to finish on the 3rd place in the 10m Air Pistol SH1 finals. The secret behind Singhraj’s rebound is ‘meditation’. Five minutes of meditation before the match helped him keep his focus intact and win a medal. Singhraj, after his bronze medal victory, told the media:...

[HTML1] Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance is proving to be a divisive game, and I’m not referring to way that protagonist Raiden uses his high-frequency katana blade to “divide” the bodies of his foes into messy, unequal portions. Come to think of it, though, that really does exemplify the issue fans are up in arms about: that Metal Gear Solid’s classic stealth mechanics have been jettisoned here, in favor of an all-out action assault that bears the unmistakable fingerprints of developer Platinium Games....

[HTML1] Back at TGS 2012, publisher Konami dropped a new trailer for Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance that purported to unveil a large portion of the game’s story. However, since Tokyo Game Show is focused on (obviously) Japanese audiences it didn’t feature English dubbing, only subtitles to explain what was going on. Thankfully, a new version of the trailer has been released that better showcases how the game’s expository cutscenes will play out for Western audiences....

So, when Kojima announced that Metal Gear Solid 5 would be split across two titles, The Phantom Pain and its prequel Ground Zeroes, many expected Kojima Productions and Konami were doubling down on the franchise — giving fans the Kill Bill treatment, if you will. Having now played through Ground Zeroes, we can say definitively that this is yet another classic case of misdirection. What Kojima and company seemed to be developing and what they actually delivered couldn’t be further from each other....

For Metal Gear Solid fans, series creator Hideo Kojima is more than just the creative force behind the franchise; he’s no small part of the rich tapestry of peculiarity that surrounds the game series as a whole. It’s clear that amongst all his work, Kojima has a special attachment to Solid Snake and his brand of tactical espionage action — and now he’s been placed right into the action....

Metal Gear Solid 4 was the last console iteration of the series, effectively ending the series’ predominant protagonist, Solid (Old) Snake, and putting to rest that part of the series. More recently, though, Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, also part of the series’ canon, was developed exclusively for the PSP. Happily, the Metal Gear Solid HD Collection will make the PSP game available to play for fans of the series, minus all the inconveniences of the Sony PlayStation Portable controls....

The second season will hit Netflix on August 16, said Fincher, which means fans of the show only have to wait about one more month. The first season of Mindhunter debuted in October 2017 and quickly gained a dedicated fan base full of true crime fanatics. Within weeks, the streaming video service renewed the series for a second season. It was considered one of the top 10 “most-binged” Netflix original series on the platform in 2017, according to Forbes’ conversations with fans....

While Nintendo of America didn’t share too many specifics, they promise that a GLA-class kart (of some sort) will hit Mario Kart 8 at some point this summer. NOA says more details will follow soon. For those who have been following all things Mario Kart 8, let us bring you up to speed. In late May, Nintendo announced a tie-in with Mercedes that put a GLA-class kart into the game....

The first reviews have been released well ahead of release, which gives an idea of just how confident Nintendo is. The developers have had enough time to craft a solid racer, and while we’ve already made our case that they missed the boat on some fantastic characters, there seems to be more than enough to keep veteran fans happy. Whether it’s the gravity-defying physics, the brand new tracks, or the re-imagined classics, it wouldn’t take much to get every Wii U owner - or those on the fence about the console - to pick up a copy....

[HTML1] Nintendo may not have given fans too much to look forward to for the rest of 2014 in the realm of unexpected announcements, but the Wii U has plenty of big hitters coming in 2015. Zelda and Kirby are just the tip of the iceberg and it looks like between Super Smash Bros. and the return of another classic crowd-pleaser, multiplayer fans will be having tons of fun on the Wii U in 2015....

The social experiment follows people who, having struggled to find love via conventional means, are set up with their spouses by a panel of experts. Couples meet for the very first time at the altar, with the cameras then following them as they embark on their honeymoon and start their new lives as a married couple. This time around there are five new couples taking part in Married at First Sight, which for this season is based in Nashville, Tennessee....

The study was conducted on 116 men and 145 women with an average age of 20, so it’s important to remember we’re dealing with a very small sample. Men were divided up according to their so-called “masculine” or “feminine” qualities, including the deepness of their voices. (In this instance, men with higher-pitched voices were considered more feminine.) Voice pitch was measured for each group as they were asked a variety of questions about monogamy and commitment....

The importance of a video game character’s design can’t be understated, as from Halo to Dead Space, the second skin an adventurer relies on can become as recognizable as their name. From the latest look at the newly-updated characters of Mass Effect 3, it seems that BioWare is finally giving Shepard’s team armor worthy of their mission. There’s no denying that the newest Alliance soldier to the group, James Vega will be playing the role of tank, with armor that would make Master Chief himself think twice about a fistfight....
