Over the past two decades, moviegoers have come to expect certain things from an M. Night Shyamalan movie. Chief among those is the Shyamalan twist, made famous in The Sixth Sense and continued in almost every film the director has made. That twist is generally a shocking reveal or turn of events that upends the rest of the movie, making a second and sometimes even third viewing essential--for his good films, at least. Where does Old fall on that spectrum? Read our review, or find out for yourself, since it's out now.It's understandable, though, if you don't actually want to do that. Many of Shyamalan's movies have been unwatchably terrible, and one glance at Old's general reviews reveals that this movie is divisive. So maybe you don't want to spend your precious time and money to go see it in a theater. Maybe you just want to know what the twist is, and move on with your life. OK, fine. You asked for it.Spoilers ahead.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

On the jet, he finds none other than Cobra's second-in-command Baroness (Úrsula Corberó) approaching him with an offer to join their organization. While he doesn't outright accept, he does rechristen himself as Storm Shadow. Of course, anyone who knows the GI Joe franchise even a little bit knew where this was going, but watching him embrace his villainous alter ego was exciting.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

It seems the global semiconductor shortage may continue until 2022 or 2023, according to IntelDuring a Q2 earnings call earlier this week, CEO Pat Gelsinger said that because computing and AI are proliferating, especially in the wake of the ongoing pandemic, the semiconductor supply chain will take a couple years to catch up with demand now that things are being digitized."While I expect the shortage to bottom out in the second half, it will take another one to two years before the industry is able to completely catch up with demand," Gelsinger said. "With major fab construction projects underway in Oregon, Arizona, Ireland, and Israel, we are investing for the future, but we are also taking action today to find innovative ways to help mitigate industry constraints."Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

After a delay earlier this month, a patch for Chivalry 2 aimed at fixing the game's PC party issues, among other things, is releasing today. Update 2.0.1 will be available for players to download starting at 10 AM PT / 1 PM ET.The biggest change coming in this patch is a fix to Chivalry 2's PC party systems. To join a multiplayer match together, players have to get into a party. However, since the game launched, that feature hasn't been working as intended. Players would appear offline when they were online or even in-game, requiring some to restart their computers to fix the problem. Today's patch addresses that issue directly. Additionally, parties should no longer be disbanded and sent to the main menu after a match ends anymore.Consoles aren't being ignored in this patch either. While all platforms should have performance improvements during the Lionspire banner stage and should no longer be negatively impacted by corpses, the Xbox Series S is getting a little something extra. Starting today, the smaller Xbox console will be able to run Chivalry 2 at 60 frames per second as intended.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

When Warcraft 3: Reforged released last year to disastrous reviews and missing features, fans were left to wonder what went wrong with the remake of one of the most legendary RTS games of all time. A new report sheds light on alleged mismanagement and a reduced budget resulted in Blizzard's maligned remake.The report comes from Bloomberg's Jason Schreier, who talked with numerous developers who either worked on the project directly or were close to the game in some way. He also reviewed an internal "postmortem" document produced after the game's release that was Blizzard's attempt to understand what went wrong.There was plenty that didn't go according to plan. The initial scope of Warcraft 3: Reforged when it was first announced in 2018 was a complete reimagining of Blizzard's 2002 RTS. Blizzard planned to redo Warcraft 3's in-game cutscenes and rewrite and rerecord all the game's voice-overs to more closely align with the updated lore of World of Warcraft, the MMORPG sequel to Warcraft 3 that for many was a gateway into the Warcraft universe.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

In many ways, Panic's Playdate feels like a device from a different era. Thanks to its simple layout and non-backlit screen, playing the handheld conjured up memories of the original Game Boy, as I jumped between its black-and-white games and maneuvered the system around until I found the ideal lighting. That, of course, is all part of the Playdate's charm, and it makes the system feel unique in an era of ubiquitous handheld games.Panic provided us with a preview unit of the upcoming system, which included work-in-progress versions of four of the 21 free games coming as part of season one. Even before booting it up, the system feels very charming and playfully designed. Unlocking it to access the main menu requires two clicks of the lock button, each click causing a cartoony eye to open on the screen as if the handheld were waking up. It's a clever and endearing touch that illustrates how much thought has gone into the system's design. The handheld also boasts a small slot on its side, allowing you to tuck the crank's handle neatly inside when you aren't using it.The aforementioned crank is the Playdate's most distinctive feature, and it's used cleverly in most of the included games in our preview unit. Whitewater Wipeout, for example, is a surfing game in which you move the crank back and forth to ride waves and pull off tricks once you've built enough momentum. It's a straightforward but satisfying high-score chase, and it utilizes the crank well.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com
