When it comes to streaming, Peacock is the newest kid on the block right now. NBC hasn't spun up its streaming content machine just yet. While we're starting to get a trickle of original content--Saved by the Bell is hitting just in time for Thanksgiving--most of the content appearing on the service is anything but new. It's not that it's not good, though; if you're looking for a few movies to watch, Peacock has a lot going for it, especially considering it has a free tier.For December, we're getting classics like Beetlejuice, The Dark Knight, The Goonies, and the Tremors series. Some more obscure stuff is joining the service, too. Limetown began life as a podcast and became a web series on Facebook Watch, and is now heading to Peacock. While the service can't yet depend on a mega hit like The Mandalorian, the December lineup makes for a tempting list.Here's what's new on Peacock in December 2020.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Sony has partnered with Adult Swim's buddy scientists Rick and Morty to deliver a quirky 30-second PlayStation 5 advertisement.The two appear in Morty's parents' living room, with Rick counting what looks to be a lot of money and Morty standing to the left of the PlayStation 5. Rick tells Morty to "talk about the thing," to which Morty, stammering as he does, begins to list off some PS5 talking points."This is the PlayStation 5," Morty says, gesturing to the right, where the console stands vertically on a white Ikea-looking table. "It's really fast. It's super fast. Like, way less of those long loading screens, you know?" According to Rick, "they" really wanted the two to mention the PlayStation 5's speed because the fast loading times are "really important to them."Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

The Last of Us Part 2 is the long-anticipated sequel to Naughty Dog's critically acclaimed game surrounding an apocalyptic disease. After a string of delays, The Last of Us Part 2 finally released on PS4 over the summer, and if you missed it during those dog days, you can pick it up now at a discount thanks to Black Friday 2020. Note that if you own a PS5 with a disc drive, you'll be able to play this physical PS4 copy on that system as well thanks to backwards compatibility. The Last of Us Part 2 Best Deal: $30 (multiple retailers) The best Black Friday deal we've spotted for The Last of Us Part 2 is already live now at Amazon. You can grab TLOU2 for $30, half-off the MSRP. Starting next week, Walmart and GameStop will have it for the same price as well, though GameStop knocks off a couple more bucks if you buy pre-owned. That means that if you're out of luck at one retailer, there will probably be another where you can get it for the same price. See at Amazon See at Walmart See at GameStop The Last of Us was known for its moral ambiguity and dark themes, and The Last of Us 2 follows in its footsteps. Instead of the first game's Joel as your protagonist, you now play as a fully grown Ellie. The world is just as grim as ever in the years following TLOU, as Ellie's journey puts her face-to-face with warring factions fighting for survival and power.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

As with any annual game franchise, it's hard not to compare Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War to last year's Modern Warfare. On the campaign side, Cold War does much better than last year's outing, showing that Call of Duty fares far better when it errs on the side of fantasy. This is true within Cold War's campaign, where the inclusion of Ronald Reagan is a bizarre fit for an otherwise larger-than-life story about espionage and brainwashing, and it's true when comparing its story to that of last year's self-serious Modern Warfare.In Zombies, Cold War has a far more successful co-op mode than Modern Warfare's Spec Ops, though it's still in need of some balance tweaks. Multiplayer, however, is where Cold War struggles; it falls flat overall, and that's especially apparent in Warzone's shadow.CampaignLike any Call of Duty campaign, Cold War is theatrical. From the '80s-themed montage that opens the campaign to a Vietnam flashback set to Steppenwolf--along with plenty of explosions, helicopter crashes, and slo-mo shootouts--Cold War's campaign is as action-movie as you'd expect. It largely works with the inherent over-the-top nature of a Black Ops story, and although some bits can be kind of goofy, it's both easy and fun to buy into the spy drama and massive gunfights in equal measure.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Black Panther 2 is reportedly set to begin shooting in Atlanta in July 2021, after being temporarily sidelined after the tragic and unexpected death of actor Chadwick Boseman, according to sources that spoke with The Hollywood Reporter. The movie was originally scheduled to begin filming in March before the delays.In addition to the new production date, Narcos: Mexico star Tenoch Huerta is said to be joining the film as an unidentified antagonist. He will star alongside returning cast members from the first Black Panther, including Letitia Wright, Winston Duke, Lupita Nyong'o, and Angela Bassett.THR's sources also implied that Wright's character, Shuri, the younger sister of T'Challa, could potentially see a much larger role in the upcoming film. This would be consistent with Shuri's trajectory in the comics, where she has taken over the Black Panther mantle in her brother's stead several times.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

It's not immediately obvious, but one of the cooler things available in Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War is the ability to take on its multiplayer offerings in split-screen mode. That means you can share a TV with a friend and both dive into Cold War's multiplayer from the comfort of the same couch.But while it's nice to have the split-screen option for more than just private matches, enabling local split-screen is not exactly obvious in Cold War. There are also a few caveats for using the mode on consoles. Specifically, if you mean to play split-screen online, you're going to need two Xbox Live Gold accounts or two PlayStation Network accounts. Don't expect split-screen to be a workaround to forking over online subscription fees to console-makers.Here's everything you need to know to set up split-screen for both online and local play on consoles, in all of Cold War's modes.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

In Assassin's Creed Valhalla, you can find many different armor sets for Eivor, each of which provide different perks. In the following article, we list all of the different armor sets that you can find in Valhalla, and also let you know which will likely best work for your ideal playstyle. In total, there are nine armor sets in Valhalla. There are technically 10, but one is locked to a specific region of the game, so we're not going to count that one (we're also skipping over the armor sets in Valhalla's in-game store).Along with the information for where to find every armor set, we've listed each one's unique perks as well. Every armor set comes with two perks. The first is applied provided you have at least two pieces of the armor set equipped, while the second is only applied if you have all five pieces equipped. To get the best out of your armor, it's worth equipping all five pieces--especially since the second perk in most armor sets is the better of the two. But, this also means you can mix and match to combine the first perk of two different armor sets to further refine your ideal loadout.

Along with a soundtrack featuring guest artists like Run The Jewels, A$AP Rocky, and Grimes, it also has an original score headed up by Marcin Przybyłowicz, who previously worked on The Witcher III, along with other composers from games and film.Prior to the recent Night City Wire episode, which announced the release of the Cyberpunk 2077 EP, I had the chance to speak with the music composers P.T. Adamczyk (Gwent, Thronebreaker: The Witcher Tales) and Paul Leonard-Morgan (Limitless, Dredd, and Warhammer 40K: Dawn of War III) about crafting the sounds of Night City. Along with breaking down the creative process of making music for the game, they explained what new influences they drew from and what types of music they steered clear from to build the game's unique score. We also had the chance to get another round of hands-on time with the game, so check out our latest impressions from playing 16 hours of the full game.Editor's Note: This interview was edited for clarity and readability.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

The holiday season may be a bit odd this year, thanks to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Big family gatherings and festive parties may be impossible, but some traditions are here to stay--like spending plenty of time inside, safe from the elements, watching a completely irresponsible amount of TV while you've got some time off work. And speaking of watching way too much TV, here’s what you can expect to watch on Hulu in December 2020.December 1 is going to see movies like Nic Cage's cult classic Con Air hit the platform, which follows Cage as an Army Ranger--with a suspect accent.
