Space Jam 2 Release Date Set

The sequel to the 90’s basketball Loony Tunes classic Space Jam has set a release date.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, Space Jam 2 will hit cinemas on July 16, 2021. The sequel to the 1996 film that saw Michael Jordan team-up with Bugs Bunny and the gang is set to star LeBron James, despite Jordan’s desires to see a different NBA star in the role.

Space Jam 2 will be produced by Ryan Coogler, who also directed and wrote Black Panther and is on board for Black Panther 2.

Stellaris: Console Edition Review

If you asked me what traditionally PC-centric genre would be least likely to work with a gamepad, a complex grand strategy game of Stellaris’ breed would be near the top of the list. But much to my surprise, the team behind the Console Edition of Paradox’s space opera sandbox have managed to do a really admirable job translating the controls. Coming from the PC version, however, I can’t help but notice that they’ve ported a long out-of-date version of Stellaris that’s still full of major gameplay shortcomings that have been solved for a while now on that side of the fence – and man, is it hard to go back.

If you’ve never even looked at Stellaris before, there are plenty of reasons to get excited about Console Edition. It’s one of the most ambitious and innovative space 4X games to come out in the last decade. You’re given fine control over designing your empire’s government and primary species using a variety of flavorful and impactful trait choices, allowing you to be anything from an iron-fisted dictatorship of bloodthirsty turtles to a peaceful technocracy led by some sort of worm creature whose underlying biology I don’t even want to guess at. The portraits you can pick from include enough weird, memorable, and sometimes hilarious aliens to fill the Mos Eisley Cantina a few times over.

There Are A Ton Of Games To Play Free This Weekend On PS4, Xbox One, And PC

If you’re looking for something new to play but aren’t quite ready to plunk down some cash on a game, you’ll have plenty of options to choose from this weekend. A number of titles are free to play for the next few days on PC and Xbox One, and PS4 and Xbox One owners will be able to try a special demo of Dead or Alive 6.

PC players have the most choices this weekend, as four titles are holding free weekends on Steam. These include the sandbox games Boundless and TerraTech, the mech strategy game BattleTech, and the 3v3 competitive game Aftercharge. You’ll be able to sample all four of these at no charge until Sunday, February 24, and each is also on sale in case you’d like to pick them up after the free period ends.

On Xbox One, Xbox Live Gold members can try both Halo Wars: Definitive Edition and its sequel, Halo Wars 2, at no charge as part of Microsoft’s ongoing Free Play Days promotion. The trial period likewise runs through February 24. You can download them either from Microsoft’s website or the Gold member area on Xbox One, and both games are on sale for 50% off from the Microsoft Store.

Beyond that, Team Ninja is holding a beta for its upcoming fighting game Dead or Alive 6 from February 22-24. The demo will be available on both PS4 and Xbox One, but you’ll need to have either a PlayStation Plus or Xbox Live Gold subscription to participate. You can read more details about the beta on the Dead or Alive 6 website.

Separate from the free weekends, Epic is giving away another title for free through its storefront, the Epic Games Store. From now until March 7, PC players can claim a digital copy of the point-and-click adventure game Thimbleweed Park at no charge.

Reggie Fils-Aime is Retiring!? – GS News Update

A legend in his own way, he’s been in this position for more than a decade, starting off as Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing and three years later, moving on to his current role of President and COO of Nintendo of America. Fils-Aime is known for his silly antics that led to many memes and overall, his love for Nintendo. It’s hard to think about Nintendo without Reggie.

Remembering Reggie’s Best-Ass Moments

Nintendo of America’s Reggie Fils-Aime is retiring, with Doug Bowser (yes, that’s his last name) set to replace him as president.

Discovery Review: Saru’s Predator Race Revealed

Full spoilers follow for this episode.

Escaping the interminable May storyline of recent weeks like a starship going to warp to avoid being sucked into a black hole, Star Trek: Discovery gets its groove back in “The Sound of Thunder.” The episode sees Saru returning to his homeworld to finally confront the nasty predator species that haunts his kind… and the systemic oppression of the Kelpiens that is a classic Trek metaphor, and one that can be parsed on several different layers.

Along the way, the mystery of the Red Angel continues to develop… slowly to be sure. But it does feel like some headway is made in this department this week which helps us start to figure out what the creature (is it even a creature?) just might be all about. Seemingly benevolent, is the Red Angel also… a time traveler?

Crackdown 3: Why a Good Deal Doesn’t Make a Game Score Better

Any time we publish a review that takes a strong stance – positive or negative – on an anticipated game, we get a lot of feedback from our community. Beyond the unavoidable differences of opinion on the quality of a given game (there’s never been a review in any publication that everyone agrees with), there are interesting philosophical questions that arise around how we make our evaluations.

In the case of last week’s Crackdown 3 review, two often-debated topics were raised: Why is a sequel that’s so similar to a well-regarded original now thought of as uninteresting, and what consideration should be given to a game that can be played for next to no cost? These are questions we actually spend quite a lot of time thinking about, and so now seems like a good time to shed light on how we approach those questions and the reasoning behind it so that you can have a better idea of how we review.
