HBO’s new Game of Thrones spin-off, House of the Dragon, has matched its predecessor’s success as a hit with both critics and audiences. The prequel series has received mostly positive reviews and so many people watched the pilot when it dropped online that HBO Max crashed for many users. One possible reason for the spin-off’s success – besides its connection to one of the most popular shows in the history of television – is that it’s more accessible than the flagship series....

Alongside male picks for Daniel Craig’s replacement, such as Idris Elba and Henry Cavill, stars like Gillian Anderson and Jodie Comer have also been linked to the role. Despite the call for Bond to be gender-swapped, long-time 007 producer Barbara Broccoli has insisted the character remain a man because she feels women should have roles that are just as interesting.

Players wanting to unlock Horizon: Zero Dawn’s secret armor, the Ancient Shield-Weaver Armor, will need to collect five Power Cells scattered throughout the map. While most of these can be obtained relatively easily, the one found in the Mother’s Watch area is locked off if the player doesn’t get it the first time they enter. RELATED: Horizon Forbidden West Could Easily Bring Back Rost It’s worth noting that by the end of Horizon: Zero Dawn the temple will reopen and the player can get back in to retrieve the power cell....

One of the elements of Horizon: Zero Dawn that was particularly highly praised was its engaging storyline. The new easy mode is designed for players who just want to take in the narrative without too much of a challenge in terms of gameplay. Aloy will be able to deal more damage with every attack, and she’ll take considerably less damage from enemies, too. Anyone that tried to get into the game before but ended up getting stuck will definitely want to give it another look now that this patch is available....

Having established a universe around the premise of humanity rebuilding itself following the fall of civilization, Guerrilla Games left aspects of the backstory surrounding these events intentionally vague within that game. What’s more, upon the conclusion of Aloy’s coming-of-age origin story, a lot of the answers that were placed on the metaphorical table actually opened the door to even more questions. Labeled as the Old Ones by the tribes that popped up after their extinction, whenever Horizon Forbidden West releases, it’s hoped that the studio will peel back the curtain on some of the most pressing secrets surrounding these now ancient humans....

For Kidd-Gilchrist, it was yet another summer working on his broken shot, which has been an issue for him since high school. The difference this year is that Kidd-Gilchrist bunkered down in the gym with one of the best shooters ever and he never left. With the help of Hornets assistant Mark Price, Kidd-Gilchrist appears to have made the first noticeable overhaul of his shot. In the past, Gilchrist would rise for a shot, turn his arms and hips in an awkward position, enter into a hitch and release the ball on his way down....
