One of the newest features of both the Xbox Series S and Series X is Quick Resume. The feature allows players to switch between multiple games seamlessly by placing them into a suspended state, effectively reducing the waiting time to get back into the action. However, it seems the feature isn't universal, as a handful of games don't support Xbox Quick Resume. In our testing, there are at least three games that apparently don't work with Xbox Quick Resume. This includes Borderlands 3, Destiny 2, and Yakuza: Like A Dragon. Borderlands 3, for example, simply reloads from the start screen after being suspended. This contradicts Quick Resume's function, which picks the game up immediately from where players left it last.There may be other games that don't support Quick Resume as well. According to True Achievements, Dirt 5, Forza Horizon 4, NBA 2K21, The Falconeer, and Watch Dogs: Legion all supposedly don't work with the feature. Loading games on Xbox Series S/Series X is still speedy, but swapping away from and back to any of these titles may result in lost progress. The problem is compounded by the fact that players aren't warned before switching away from the games in question, so players can't be sure that Xbox Quick Resume is supported.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

It's been a while since we've heard anything about the Halo TV series in the works at Showtime. After going into production at the end of 2019, the making of the series was paused--like almost every other TV show and film--due to the COVID-19 pandemic. With shows and films slowly going back into production, we're finally getting some new and interesting information about the video game adaptation.It was originally revealed that Natasha McElhone (Californication) would take on the role of Dr. Catherine Halsey, the person behind the Spartan supersoldier program, as well as the artificial intelligence construct Cortana. After all, in the game Cortana is based on a cloned copy of Halsey's brain. However, a major casting change has taken place.While McElhone will continue playing the role of Halsey, she will no longer portray Cortana. According to a report from IGN, Jen Taylor--the actress that's played Cortana in all of the main Halo video games--will portray the blue AI character. It remains to be seen, though, whether Taylor will simply voice a CGI character or actually appear in-person on the show.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

In Freaky, Vince Vaughn takes on the role of a lifetime: a teenage girl. The film, from Blumhouse and directed by Happy Death Day's Chris Landon, is essentially a slasher version of Freaky Friday. Freaky sees high school student Millie (Katheryn Newton) swapping bodies with demented serial killer the Blissfield Butcher (Vaughn).On the surface, the premise alone has a lot of great comedic potential. Still, while Vaughn was Landon's first choice for the role, the director wasn't expecting him to be interested."He really was it for me. There were so many boxes that needed to be ticked here," Landon explained. "And it was tricky because I needed somebody that was physically intimidating. I needed someone who was convincingly scary. I needed someone who had really strong acting chops, and someone who's charming and comedic. There's so many things that Vince has to be in this movie and he's, like, literally the only dude that can do all of it. And so we sent the script to him first. And I, honestly, was prepared for him to pass."Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

If you're looking to trade-in your current-gen console, here are some options to consider.GameStopGameStop is known for trading used games and hardware, so naturally, it may be the first place you look to trade-in your old console.
