Dirt Rally 2.0 is heading back to the series' roots with the upcoming Colin McRae: Flat Out pack. The nostalgia-tinged DLC is due out on March 24, 2020 on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC, and will be free for all season pass owners.Outside of the US, Codemasters' long-running off-road series started back in 1998 as Colin McRae Rally, before eventually becoming Colin McRae: Dirt in 2007. Following the rally star's untimely death in the same year, McRae's name eventually stopped appearing in the title after the release of Dirt 3.The Flat Out pack selects some of the highlights of McRae's career by letting you relive 40 of his greatest moments in Dirt Rally 2.0's Scenarios mode. The DLC also introduces his iconic Subaru Impreza Rally S4 and Subaru Legacy RS to the game, along with 12 new routes that undulate through Scotland's Perth and Kinross.Info from Gamespot.com

Narcos: Mexico is the spin-off from the popular Netflix drama Narcos, and it's about to return for its second season. While the original series focused on the illegal drug trade in Colombia, Narcos: Mexico--as the title suggests--explores the growth of Mexican cartels in the 1980s. The first trailer for Season 2 has now arrived.The show stars Diego Luna (Star Wars: Rogue One) as cartel boss Félix Gallardo, who is looking to increase his control of the drug trade south of the border. "The Colombians are no longer in charge. It's my turn," he says in the trailer. Scoot McNairy (Argo) plays the DEA agent attempting to bring him down, and the first look at the new season seems to offer the same mix of violence and intrigue that made Narcos a hit. Check the trailer out below.All 10 episodes of Narcos: Mexico Season 2 hit Netflix on February 13. The series also stars Teresa Ruiz, Mayra Hermosillo, Sosie Bacon, Andrés Londoño, and Alex Knight.In an interview with El Pais, Luna spoke about the challenge of portraying a compelling real-life character such as Gallardo without glamourising his criminal lifestyle. "I don't think it glorifies them," he said." It shows a very dark world that I don't want to belong to. But this profile always arouses interest. Characters who are willing to cross a line that you and I never would. As long as their stories are not given a hero's arc, you are doing a good job."We humanize Félix's journey because it is important that he not be one-dimensional, that he is not just the bad guy. He is moved by the same things as everyone: love, pain, anger, jealousy, friendship, freedom. He even questions the business. But I am against inviting the public to participate. That is horrifying."For more, check out GameSpot's guide to the biggest upcoming TV shows of 2020.Info from Gamespot.com

Super Bowl weekend is nearly here, and as is tradition, EA Sports is gearing up to use the latest Madden game to predict the outcome of the Super Bowl. Apart from the Madden simulation, there's a nice discount on the game itself this week. For a limited time, Madden NFL 20 is on sale for 50% off on PS4, Xbox One, and PC, dropping its price to $30 from $60. This offer is mostly digital, available in the PlayStation Store, Xbox Live, and EA's Origin, but you can also find the same discount at GameStop.The standard edition is cheapest and just includes the base game, but the Superstar and Ultimate Superstar editions are discounted as well to $40 and $50, respectively, on consoles. These special editions come with bonus in-game content, including Gold Team Fantasy Packs and Small or Large Training Quick Sell Packs. The special editions are even cheaper on Origin, going for $32 and $40, respectively.The latest installment in the long-running football series earned an 8/10 in GameSpot's Madden NFL 20 review, with critic Eddie Makuch praising its new X-Factor abilities, week-to-week challenges, and more."Madden NFL 20 is an improved version of the annualized professional football series that excels in some areas and leaves something to be desired in others," he wrote. "The new QB1 career mode--which includes a barebones NCAA football experience--overall feels like a half-baked idea that doesn't deliver anything meaningful or interesting. When it comes to the on-the-field action, however, the new X-Factor and Superstar abilities shake up the familiar gameplay formula to give seasoned players and newcomers alike a fresh way to scheme plays and orchestrate strategy on both sides of the ball."Madden NFL 20 Super Bowl deals Get it for PS4 Get it for Xbox One Get it for PC Get it at GameStop Regardless of whether EA's Super Bowl 2020 prediction comes to pass this year, there's one thing you can count on, and that's that we'll get some truly entertaining commercials.

After a series of tumultuous mishaps, such as allegedly changing user's passwords and charging the bank accounts of deactivated users, MoviePass and its parent company have submitted documentation for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, according to The Hollywood Reporter.The move comes after an announcement on Tuesday, January 28, in which Helios and Matheson Analytics Inc.--MoviePass' parent company--confirmed plans to allow for the liquidation of all its assets. The company found that "after considering strategic alternatives," MoviePass no longer seemed viable as a business to continue. With bankruptcy moving forward, a trustee will be assigned to clean out MoviePass, Helios and Matheson Analytics, and all other affiliated companies in the coming months."As a result of filing the Petition, a Chapter 7 trustee will be appointed by the bankruptcy court to administer the estate of the company and to perform the duties set forth in Section 704 of the Code," the filing said.Despite MoviePass' myriad slipups, including the introduction of Peak Pricing and the limitation on movie availability, the company paved the way for the movie ticket subscription service concept. While MoviePass may no longer be around, the spirit of what the company hoped to achieve continues through competitors like AMC's Stubs A-List, Atom, Cinemark's MovieClub, and more.MoviePass put an end to its subscription service in September 2019, with the service's parent company looking for financial assistance at the time. During the closing of MoviePass, Helios and Matheson Analytics stated there was a possibility the service could make a return. However, the Chapter 7 bankruptcy filing all but ensures that MoviePass will not make a comeback for the foreseeable future.Info from Gamespot.com

Netflix is taking another gamble on developing a beloved manga and Japanese anime series to live-action. The streaming service announced today that One Piece will be getting an original show in the near future.The first season of the series will consist of 10 episodes. Back in early 2019, a listing for a One Piece series popped up on Netflix, and recently, a new synopsis has been added on the One Piece Netflix page: "A live-action adventure story based on the bestselling manga by Eiichiro Oda." At the time, there was no official announcement of the series or it being tied to Netflix. The original synopsis from 2019 made mentions of Monkey D. Luffy and pirating, which no longer exists on the new listing.The official One Piece Netflix series page on Twitter sent a message to the world announcing its arrival, which you can check out below.Oda-sensei will oversee the live-action #OnePiece series by @stevemaeda and Matt Owens. @NXOnNetflix pic.twitter.com/rFrDOvakLc — onepiecenetflix (@onepiecenetflix) January 29, 2020Steven Maeda (Lost, CSI: Miami) and Matt Owens will serve as showrunners for the series.

Pokemon Home, a new cloud storage service in the vein of Pokemon Bank for 3DS, is set to launch on Nintendo Switch and mobile devices next month. While we've known about Home since last June, The Pokemon Company has only recently shared full details about the service, including how much it will cost and what kind of features it will offer.Ostensibly the biggest appeal of Pokemon Home is being able to bring over monsters you've caught in previous games to Pokemon Sword and Shield on Switch, but the service provides other functionality as well. As we recently learned, Pokemon Home also allows you to trade Pokemon with other players outside of the actual games, and you can use it to check information about Pokemon as well as battling stats.To help catch you up on everything the service entails, we've rounded up all the most important details about Pokemon Home below, from its price and features to all the games that are compatible with it. You can learn more about Pokemon Home on its official website.Table of Contents [hide]What Is Pokemon Home?How Much Does Pokemon Home Cost?Do I Need Nintendo Switch Online To Use Pokemon Home?What Games Are Compatible With Pokemon Home?What's Different Between The Switch And Mobile Versions Of Pokemon Home?How Do You Trade Pokemon Through Home?When Does Pokemon Home Launch? What Is Pokemon Home?Like Pokemon Bank, Pokemon Home is a cloud service that allows you to store Pokemon you've captured from various games in one place and easily move them between titles. The service also offers a handful of other ancillary functions, such as the ability to trade Pokemon, view detailed information about your monsters, and check battle data for online competitions happening in Sword and Shield.How Much Does Pokemon Home Cost?Pokemon Home will be available in two tiers: free and premium. The former can be used at no charge and gives you access to most of the service's features, albeit in limited capacity; for instance, you will only be able to store a maximum of 30 Pokemon in the cloud using the free plan, and you can only deposit a single Pokemon in the Global Trade System at a time.The premium plan, on the other hand, carries a subscription fee and offers more benefits, including greater storage capacity. With a premium plan, you will be able to deposit 6,000 Pokemon in Home, and you can place three Pokemon in the GTS at a time. A premium plan also gives you access to some additional perks and features, such as the Judge function, which allows you to view your Pokemon's base stats.The premium Pokemon Home plan will cost $3 USD for one month, $5 USD for three months, and $16 USD for 12 months--slightly less than the price of a Nintendo Switch Online subscription. You can see the full breakdown of features for each tier of the service below.DescriptionBasicPremiumMoving Pokemon from Pokemon BankUnavailableAvailableNumber of Pokemon that can be deposited30Pokemon6,000PokemonNumber of Pokemon that can be placed in the Wonder Box at once3Pokemon10PokemonNumber of Pokemon that can be placed in the GTS at once1Pokemon3PokemonRoom TradeParticipateParticipate and hostJudge functionUnavailableAvailable Do I Need Nintendo Switch Online To Use Pokemon Home?Pokemon Home is a separate service from Nintendo Switch Online, so a subscription for one does not grant you access to the other. You don't need to have a Nintendo Switch Online membership to use Pokemon Home, but you do need a Nintendo Account, which can be created for free on Nintendo's website. However, a Switch Online subscription is required to use the online features in Pokemon Sword and Shield.What Games Are Compatible With Pokemon Home?The Nintendo Switch version of Pokemon Home is compatible with both Let's Go Pikachu and Eevee and Pokemon Sword and Shield. Additionally, both the Switch and mobile versions of the service are able to connect with Pokemon Bank, allowing you to bring your Pokemon over from 3DS to Switch. However, you will need to have a premium Pokemon Home subscription to transfer Pokemon from Bank.Pokemon you've moved from Let's Go Pikachu and Eevee to Home can either be retrieved in those games or in Pokemon Sword and Shield, provided they appear in the Galar Pokedex; however, any Pokemon from Let's Go that you've taken into Sword or Shield can no longer be used in their original game. Similarly, Pokemon you've transferred from Bank to Home can no longer be returned to 3DS. In addition to those titles, Pokemon Home will also be compatible with Pokemon Go; however, support for the mobile game will not be available when the service launches and will implemented sometime in the future.What's Different Between The Switch And Mobile Versions Of Pokemon Home?You'll have access to both the Switch and mobile versions of Pokemon Home, provided you own the appropriate hardware and have linked them to the same Nintendo Account. While many of the service's features are available across both platforms, each also has some unique functionality. For instance, only the Switch version of Pokemon Home is compatible with the Switch Pokemon games. The Switch version also allows you to exchange Pokemon Home Points--which you can accumulate by using the service--for Battle Points, a type of in-game currency used to purchase special battle-focused items at the Battle Tower in Sword and Shield.The mobile version, meanwhile, offers the ability to trade Pokemon and receive exclusive Mystery Gifts. On top of that, the mobile version displays more detailed information about a Pokemon, such as its Abilities and what moves it is able to learn. You can also use the mobile version to check news updates as well as battle data for Sword and Shield's online competitions, although this functionality will be added sometime after the service launches. You can see which features are available in each version of Pokemon Home below.FeatureNintendo Switch versionMobile versionMove Pokemon with Pokemon: Let's Go Pikachu and Let's Go EeveeAvailableUnavailableMove Pokemon with Pokemon Sword and ShieldAvailableUnavailableMove Pokemon with Pokemon BankAvailableAvailableJudge PokemonAvailableAvailableTrade PokemonUnavailableAvailableReceive Mystery GiftsUnavailableAvailableCheck Battle DataUnavailableAvailableCheck NewsUnavailableAvailableExchange Pokemon Home Points for Battle PointsAvailableUnavailableHow Do You Trade Pokemon Through Home?As previously mentioned, the mobile version of Pokemon Home offers you the ability to trade Pokemon with other players. The service features four different trading options: the Global Trade System, Wonder Box, Room Trade, and Friend Trade.The Global Trade System allows you to offer up a Pokemon in exchange for a specific monster. You can specify which particular Pokemon you're looking for--even if you don't have it registered in Pokemon Home's National Dex--down to its gender and level. When another player offers a Pokemon that matches your criteria, the monsters will automatically be traded. You will also have the option to search Pokemon other players have put up on the GTS and seek out potential trades yourself.Wonder Box, meanwhile, functions much like the Surprise Trade feature in Pokemon Sword and Shield. A Pokemon you place in the Wonder Box will be traded for a random one offered by another player. The free version of Pokemon Home allows you to place three Pokemon at a time in the Wonder Box, while the premium plan gives you the ability to place 10.Room Trade allows you to set up a room and trade with the other players who join. Rooms can host up to 20 players at a time, and you won't know which Pokemon you'll be receiving until the trades are complete. All Pokemon Home users will be able to join rooms, but only those who have a premium plan can create one.Finally, Friend Trade allows you to trade Pokemon directly with other players you've registered on your Pokemon Home friends list. The Pokemon Company notes, "The features related to adding and managing friends in Pokemon Home cannot be used by users under the age of 16."

Ahead of Super Bowl LIV taking place this Sunday, February 2 at 3:30 PM PT, the creators of Adult Swim's Rick and Morty have shared a new fourth wall breaking commercial set to air during the big game.The TV ad, posted to Adult Swim's official YouTube channel, begins with a deadpan commercial for Pringles. Rick and Summer are chitchatting about the ad as Morty, carrying an assortment of Pringles cans, enthusiastically asks if anyone wants to stack Pringles flavors to make new ones. Rick sniffs out the elephant in the room, which happens to be Morty who is revealed to be a Pringles-controlled robot, and comes to the stark realization that he and Summer are trapped in a Pringles commercial. It's short, lasting only 30-seconds long, but it's hilarious and unsettling in the way Rick and Morty typically is. Check out the ad below.This Sunday's Super Bowl will be between the Kansas City Chiefs (14-4) and San Francisco 49ers (15-3) and takes place at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida. Jennifer Lopez and Shakira are scheduled to perform during halftime, with pop artist Demi Lovato singing the National Anthem.Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland wrapped up the first half of Rick and Morty's fourth season on December 15. The season, which kicked off on November 10, consists of 10 episodes and is part of a 70-episode deal with Adult Swim. Simultaneously, Roiland is working on a new claymation series with upcoming streaming service Quibi (short for "quick bites"), a Hollywood-based start-up targeting mobile devices.The second half of Rick and Morty Season 4 is said to return "sooner than later," according to an interview with Summer's voice actor Spencer Grammer. An official date has yet to be announced.Info from Gamespot.com

The Grammy awards red carpet is known for its daring fashion choices, and this year some of those signature looks have been immortalized--as Pokemon fanart. Some fans noticed that the wild styles and bright colors looked a lot like the fancy duds worn by Pokemon trainers in the games and anime series.The trend started when Twitter user Gatelygate matched four music stars with their red carpet styles--Billie Eilish, Lil Nas X, Ariana Grande, and Billy Porter--to Pokemon types. The comparison took off, and then user Refrainbow took it a step further with fanart of each musician drawn in the Pokemon style, and matched with a coordinating monster. They were dubbed the "Grammy League Elite Four."

The feature sets are slightly different for the Switch and mobile applications, but altogether the tools seem fairly robust.

It won't be in theaters until February 7, but the first social media reactions to Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation Of One Harley Quinn) have arrived, and they sound very promising. This is the first DC film since 2019's Shazam, which was well-received, and it seems like Warner Bros. may have another winner on its hands."Just saw [Birds of Prey] and am happy to report that it's my favorite modern DC movie yet," GameSpot's own Michael Rougeau said in a tweet. Like Shazam, it carves its own path with totally unique aesthetic, action, and tone. Margot, Ewan, and all the rest are 100% fantabulous."GameSpot's Meg Downey echoed his thoughts, tweeting, "So [Birds of Prey] was an absolute blast. Harley feels exactly like the human Looney Toon she ought to be, Black Mask is a scene-stealer; Dinah, Helena, Cass, and Renee all rule. This was everything I want from DC movies and then some."You can take a look at even more reactions from critics and press below.Just saw #BirdsofPrey and am happy to report that it's my favorite modern DC movie yet.

Microsoft has released its latest earnings report, detailing how the business is performing across all sectors. Overall, business is good for Microsoft, but the Xbox division is (mostly) struggling.Gaming revenue at Microsoft for quarter ended December 31--the holiday quarter--dropped by 21 percent, which works out to a downturn of $905 million. Revenue from Xbox One console sales dropped by a significant 43 percent due to fewer systems sold and lower prices.Revenue from game sales and services fell by 11 percent, or $295 million. Microsoft said it was a particularly tough quarter to compare against because Holiday 2018 was so strong due to a "third-party title." It wasn't specified, but analyst Daniel Ahmad said it was Fortnite, while noted Microsoft reporter Tom Warren said it was Red Dead Redemption 2.Microsoft gets a cut of all games sold on Xbox, so when a title does exceptionally well as both those games did, Microsoft benefits as well. Similarly, when their sales moderate, Microsoft sees a drop-off in its third-party royalty payment.There was some good news for Microsoft during the quarter, as subscription revenue grew. This is no surprise, given Microsoft is ramping up Xbox Game Pass.Looking at the six-month period ended December 31, gaming revenue overall was down 16 percent, or $1.1 billion. The downturn was driven hardware sales that were down 40 percent, and content and services revenue dropping 6 percent, or $302 million, overall.Microsoft no longer officially reports monthly active Xbox Live users, but CEO Satya Nadella said on an earnings call that Microsoft set a new record for the most monthly active Xbox Live users during the latest period. He also said xCloud is off to a good start with "hundreds of thousands" of people signing up for the beta. He also said Xbox Game Pass subscriptions doubled during the quarter. Across all business categories, Microsoft posted revenue of $36.9 billion for the quarter, which is up 14 percent. Net income was also strong, as Microsoft made $11.6 billion in profit during the three-month period.It is expected that Microsoft's gaming revenue is slowing down, as the Xbox One is at the end of its lifecycle. Microsoft's next system, the Xbox Series X, releases this holiday with Halo Infinite as a launch title. That should help improve Microsoft's fortunes, while the company will also continue to expand Xbox Game Pass and xCloud as revenue-drivers.The real money in gaming for Microsoft is in software and services, not console sales. "The business is around software and service growth. That is the profitable part of the business; selling the hardware is not the profitable part of the business," Phil Spencer has said.Looking ahead, Microsoft CFO Amy Hood said she expects gaming revenue to continue to decline in the "low double-digit range" in the lead-up to the Xbox Series X release this holiday. She also explained that the results announced today regarding the downturn in sales for Xbox were in line with what the company was expecting.Microsoft is the first of the major gaming companies to announce earnings for the quarter. Nintendo and Electronic Arts will announce their latest results on January 30, while Sony, Take-Two, Ubisoft, and Activision Blizzard will report next week. Info from Gamespot.com
