Longtime players of EA Sports games may recall how the publisher’s famous slogan, “It’s in the game,” is actually a shortened version of the full sentiment one would hear upon booting up any of its many sports games across several decades: “If it’s in the game, it’s in the game.” This simple phrase worked well for a long time as a way to tout authenticity. If you’re seeing it on the field (or rink, court, et al), you can bet it’ll be in the video game simulation. That was the promise anyway.
But it worked. The soundbyte is iconic; I can still hear it in my head even as EA dropped the first half of that slogan years ago, and today, the Madden team’s North Star is, arguably more t…
It’s been seven years since Paddington 2 charmed audiences and briefly held a perfect 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes. But now it’s time for Paddington to come home in the latest trailer for Paddington in Peru. However, Paddington’s plans for a simple family reunion with his aunt Lucy quickly turn into a quest with his human family, the Browns.

When it comes to portable gaming devices, it’s hard to beat the Nintendo Switch. This handheld gaming console gets a lot right, but if it does have a weakness, in that it’s not the most comfortable to use for long stretches. Fortunately, there’s a pretty good Prime Big Deal Days special–if you’re a Prime subscriber–on one of Hori’s Split-Pad controllers, as you can get one decked out in Pac-Man colors for $38 (was $$60).
This particular model is a nice compromise between the regular Joy-Con that comes with a Switch console and other third-party controllers that adopt a more traditional design. Hori’s controller is designed to nestle in your hands more naturally, and it comes with several extra features like programmable turbo buttons for when you need some rapid inputs …

There was a time when there were a few games based on The Matrix movies, and they were even pretty good at times. Today, while video game adaptations are tougher to come by (although you can be Neo or Trinity in Fortnite), fans shouldn’t sleep on a tabletop opportunity to delve into the Matrix, with Upper Deck’s Legendary Encounters: The Matrix deckbuilding game, available on Amazon.
