Vice Studios could soon help Chains, Dallas, Hoxton, and Wolf break into the movie and TV business after acquiring the film and television rights to the Payday franchise. The company behind Gangs of London announced it was laying the groundwork to bring the popular video game franchise to a new medium as part of a partnership with Starbreeze Entertainment today. No details regarding how the pair will translate co-op heist gameplay for new audiences were revealed, suggesting it will be a while before plans materialize. “PAYDAY has a world that is bigger than the game itself,” president of Vice Amy Powell said in a statement. “There’s mythology behind the masks and a crew of characters with real history that is incredibly exciting to explore. Partnering with Starbreeze Entertainment, we’re excited to build that universe and see how far it can go on screen.” Payday got an explosive start when its first game, Payday: The Heist, launched for PlayStation 3 and PC in 2011. Set around f...

Avatar: The Last Airbender might not be the newest Universes Beyond release anymore after the recent release of TMNT , but it’s still one of the more interesting crossovers Magic has pulled off in recent memory, and right now, it’s a lot easier to recommend at such a low price point. The set’s Beginner Box has dropped to its lowest price ever online, dropping to just $18.99 at Amazon-owned retailer, Woot , giving anyone who missed it the first time a much cheaper way to jump in. That's an even better deal than Amazon , even below current market pricing at TCGplayer as well. If you want to check it out at such a low price point, I'd snap it up ASAP. The deal will expire in under five days' time, but I'd highly suspect it will sell out way before that. Most Magic deals at Woot tend to go fast, especially when they're such great deals like this one (such as the nifty MTG x Warhammer 40K precon bundle deal that's already sold out as well). And I'd hi...

If you've been playing Pokémon Pokopia regularly since launch, by now you've probably at least seen Rocky Ridges, the game's second or third area (depending on the order you choose to visit them in). The region is themed around mountains, mines, and an active volcano, and if you've been to Rocky Ridges, you've almost certainly been faced with the deep, nigh-unbearable urge to clear up every single block of Volcanic Ash on the map. Well, it's okay. Don't bother. Other people have already taken care of it for us. Rocky Ridges is a mountainous area that, unlike the other zones you visit, has very little clear room to build when you first arrive. That's because it's largely taken up by enormous mountains, and those mountains are covered in Volcanic Ash lingering from past volcanic eruptions. The ash is super easy to clear out, vanishing at a single punch from Ditto's Rock Smash move. But there's just so much of it that clearing all of it is...

Subnautica 2 is entering early access at last. IGN can exclusively reveal that both developer Unknown Worlds and publisher Krafton have agreed the game is ready for its early access release in May on Xbox and PC, though an exact date hasn't been provided just yet. Unknown Worlds head Steve Papoutsis shared the following message with the Subnautica 2 team today: Team, We want to take a moment to sincerely thank every member of the Unknown Worlds team and our partners. Over the past nine months, you have worked incredibly hard to bring Subnautica 2 close to the finish line. That effort has resulted in a game we are truly proud of, one that each of us and our partners at KRAFTON unanimously determined is ready for Early Access release in May. Thanks to your dedication and talent, we've added more story chapters, built new creatures, and created new biomes along with many other features. With this significant progress, we have passed KRAFTON's milestone review last week ...

Magic: The Gathering has kicked off its newest Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles set , but Lorwyn Eclipsed isn't quite out of sight or out of mind yet - it's still standard legal and, just as importantly, it's great. As the Turtles have arrived, though, Amazon has slashed the price of a Lorwyn Eclipsed Play Booster Box to $119.95 - that’s a 27% discount on the current set, netting you 30 packs for even less than they were a few weeks ago. That brings the price of a pack down from $5.49 at the list price of the box to just $3.99, and it’s a great set, too. While you’re much more likely (almost infinitely more) to find the set’s most valuable cards in Collector Boosters, there are some fantastic creature synergies in there . Also still discounted are the Commander decks from the set. Blight Curse is helmed by Auntie Ool, Cursewretch (or The Reaper, King No More), uses a -1/-1 counters archetype that’s fairly uncommon. It’s a fantastic deck and now has a few bucks kno...
