When G4 returns later this year, it will be in more than just name. Original X-Play host Adam Sessler and Attack of the Show's Kevin Pereira are both coming along for the ride, and their shows will be back, too.They're joining a group of new hosts that includes WWE superstar Xavier Woods, and you can expect to see many classic G4 segments when the shows are revived. In a press release, Adam Sessler specifically mentioned his "Sessler's Soapbox" segment making a return, as well as opinions on the latest gaming news and, of course, reviews. We give that news a five … out of five.Sessler had been unceremoniously fired from the network in 2013, later joining the site Rev3Games before then doing consulting and strategy for media. According to Sessler, he was never given a reason for his termination, but it looks like things were smoothed over. He also got to laugh at Esquire Network's expense, referencing the originally planned closure of G4 and replacement by Esquire Network--it ended up not working out that way, but Esquire Network itself is now defunct, too.

Halo: The Master Chief Collection continues to get new content--both on consoles and PC--more than six years after its release, and that also applies to the "flighting" pre-release program that brings new features and updates to Halo Insider members before they go live in the public game. In the next flight, a number of big features are getting added, including mouse-and-keyboard support on console.Yes, this would have seemed borderline sacrilegious in a Halo game just a few years ago, but times are changing. Around February 18, but possibly slightly later, the next public flight for Halo: The Master Chief Collection will add mouse-and-keyboard play on consoles. Other console-specific features include FOV slider support on Xbox One, as well as an unlocked FOV slider for Xbox Series X|S if you're running your devices at 120hz. This option was previously not available at this setting. Though 120hz displays are very common, they're only recently becoming more heavily used in gaming. You need HDMI 2.1 ports for that refresh rate to work with PS5 or Xbox Series X.Other features coming with the flight include a new Halo 3 map originally seen in the Russian game Halo Online, which was lost after the game was shut down. Who would have thought that we'd get a new map for that game more than 13 years after it released?Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Check the trailer out below:Boss Level also stars Naomi Watts (Twin Peaks), Michelle Yeoh (Star Trek Discovery), and Annabelle Wallis (The Mummy), and is directed by Joe Carnahan, who previously helmed The A-Team and Smoking Aces.

Mario Kart is always a good time, and if you want to bring that racing action into your life, last year's AR kart racer, Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit, is currently discounted at Amazon. Mario Kart Live's Luigi set is $90, down from its regular price of $100. The Luigi set ships from and is sold by Amazon; however, if you're interested in the Mario set, there are a number of reputable third-party sellers with stock available. $10 isn't a huge discount, but Nintendo products rarely go on sale, making this deal particularly notable. Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit $90 (was $100) Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit pairs real-world RC cars with a Nintendo Switch gaming experience. You create a track by placing cardboard gates around your living room, kitchen, or any other space in your house before taking control of your camera-equipped toy car with the Switch. From there, you'll race through each gate on the Switch as your RC car zooms around the house. See Luigi at Amazon See Mario at Amazon While you drive a real RC car around your home, AI opponents will appear on your Switch's screen. From there, it's like playing any other Mario Kart game, complete with coins, items, and hazards. And befitting the series, the RC car zips around in the real world much faster at the advanced 200cc mode than its slower 50cc predecessor.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com
