Indeed, after all the Space Ponchos dimmed to lifelessness, many of us were left wondering how it would feel to finally control an on-screen avatar using just our body-movements. Freed from the shackles of controllers and peripherals, how exactly would the Kinect experience feel? Well, wonder no more. A splinter group of Game Rant’s San Diego Comic Con team put the upcoming Kinect title Dance Central through its paces. The answer to your question is possibly somewhere in this video....

Or perhaps YOU are that friend? In which case, you now avoid playing online at all costs because you fear the verbal beat down you’ll receive from your compadres when you inevitably screw up. “Maybe this time will be different?” you think to yourself. Believe me, it won’t. No amount of practice or coaching will ever correct your awful play. But it’s all in good fun, right? That brings us to Game Rant’s Video of the Week....

And it’s not always with regards to the game itself. We’ve collected four recent examples of fans expressing themselves through art and creativity, giving fans a little something cool for four very important video game franchises: Pokemon, BioShock, Mega Man and Halo. Our first example blends one of our favorite brands of toys (LEGO) with a franchise that’s launching one of our most anticipated games of the year (BioShock Infinite)....

[HTML1] Grand Theft Auto 5’s journey from consoles to PC was a long and rocky one (although not as rocky as Batman: Arkham Knight’s). It took months for Rockstar to confirm the PC release date and gamers were writing petition, begging on Reddit, and screaming from the rooftops for a PC port. The PC version of Grand Theft Auto 5 eventually did arrive and with it came all the mods and performance min maxing that comes along with the PC elite territory....

Windows Central Senior Editor Jez Corden suggested on Twitter that GTA 5 will not benefit from Xbox Series X capabilities, and will be locked at 30 FPS. This applies to the current version of GTA 5 using backwards compatibility, but Rockstar has previously announced enhanced standalone GTA 5 and GTA Online ports are coming to next-gen consoles in 2021. The standalone GTA Online port is expected to release in the second half of 2021 and be a PS5 timed-exclusive, with PlayStation Plus subscribers able to play the game free by claiming it in the first three months....

Following Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - The Definitive Edition’s launch on PC on November 11, Rockstar had an emergency on its hands. It took down the Rockstar Games Launcher and delisted the PC version of Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - The Definitive Edition from its storefront. Buyers had no access to the game, and still don’t, and didn’t know why it was happening, either. Rockstar’s social media simply said it was working on the issue....

According to a recent interview with Bloomberg, the chief executive of AMD seems to be maintaining an air of positivity and has said that availability of the company’s graphics cards could improve due to an increase in chip supplies which she believes will be happening soon. She believes improvements will be on the up and up throughout the rest of 2021, adding that AMD is working with partners and that the situation could be under control quicker than expected....

Last December the elder Connick was indicted for returning betting sheets to bookmaker Walton Aucoin following Aucoin’s arrest a year earlier. By so doing, the government argues, Connick allowed Aucoin to continue collecting debts and running his gambling business. Connick says Aucoin had a legal right to copies of his accounting records. He maintains that his accuser, local U.S. Attorney John Volz, has a vendetta against him. The feud goes back to 1974, when Connick became D....

Gotham Knights has a small but well-rounded roster of villains, including Clayface, Harley Quinn, and Mr Freeze. Facing off with these villains caps off most of the game’s cases, and each of them offers a tricky boss fight or two before the case can be closed.

With Gotham Knights’ release date finally here, it’s time for players to step into the shoes of Nightwing, Red Hood, Bat Girl and Robin to take down the criminal underworld in Gotham City. Following a tragedy involving the Caped Crusader, players need to step up and overcome various challenges and foes lurking in the shadows. There are two main ways for players to unlock new suits in Gotham Knights. One of the easiest methods is just to play through the game....

RELATED: Gotham Knights Review Beat the Main Missions Perhaps unsurprisingly, completing main story missions and missions featuring major villains is a very effective means of acquiring EXP, with each section of a case file dishing out a large chunk of EXP on completion. Investigating Batman’s last case and tracking down villains like Mr. Freeze and Harley Quinn is a fantastic way of getting lots of EXP very quickly, assuming players are able to clear the more difficult combat encounters that these offer....

The Court of Owls made their debut in Batman issue #1 of the New 52 by Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo. In the comics, Batman needed the help of the bat family to fight against this foe, however, in Gotham Knights, the team of sidekicks will have to deal with the Court of Owls on their own. Although the Court of Owls debuted in Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo’s Batman run, the antagonist has also made its way to other Batman media, such as the animated film Batman vs Robin, and the series Gotham....

PlayStation Plus is PlayStation’s paid subscription service, similar in nature to Xbox Live Gold. After roughly ten years of only having one subscription option, Sony introduced multiple tiers to PlayStation Plus, each at different price points and with their own benefits. PlayStation Plus Premium is the highest tier and includes all the benefits from other tiers as well as access to a catalog of classic games, cloud gaming, and free trials to games such as The Last of Us Part 1....

Gotham Knights is set to release in October and puts fans into the shoes of Robin, Nightwing, Batgirl, and Red Hood, with just about every aspect of its marketing so far being focused on these characters. Many hoped to see some new villains for Gotham Knights at Gamescom, and host Geoff Keighley and publisher Warner Bros. Interactive delivered on that, plus a little more.

Gotze, 26, has endured a steady fall from a grace since firing his country to the ultimate glory with an extra-time winner in the final in Brazil four years ago. The injury-prone playmaker left Bayern Munich to re-join Borussia Dortmund in 2016 but the move has not gone to plan, with a metabolic disorder limiting his playing time and new boss Lucien Favre yet to afford him a Bundesliga start this term....

The first chilling possibility, which you probably haven’t even dared think about, is this: What if they are telling the truth? No, I mean, really. I know it is about 99 percent unlikely, but what if we actually are being governed at each end of Pennsylvania Avenue by a bipartisan complex of incompetents who have not the vaguest idea of what they are doing, who actively engage in crass and crooked things and then seem always to have no recollection, sleepwalker-like, of having engaged in them?...

Another week, another huge push in the rankings for Massachusetts pro Nicholas Petrangelo (GPI No. 5) who moves up to a career-best #5 ranking this week, moving past four others just one week after cracking the World Top 10 for the very first time of his career on the live tournament circuit. Petrangelo, who began 2015 ranked in the 900’s, has enjoyed immense success this season thanks to nine Top 10 finishes, including his first gold bracelet victory in a preliminary event at the World Series of Poker in Las Vegas in June....

“Portal Kombat” is a blend of the Portal and Mortal Kombat series. The 2:56 video tells a quick little tale about an average Joe, your everyday guy, walking into an everyday shop of used media, to find himself a new game. The video features GLaDOS’s s0ng, “Still Alive,” which is about the sinister AI from Portal and Portal 2 singing to Chell (the protagonist of the Portal games) about about the upcoming events of Portal 2....

As Thomas Mann wrote, ““A man’s dying is more the survivors’ affair than his own.’’ Since Tupac was murdered last September, his multimillion-dollar legacy has become the contentious affair of kin, colleagues and alleged opportunists from L.A. to Australia. In his lifetime, Tupac’s profane rap lyrics and violent encounters made him controversial, helping to swell by tens of millions of dollars the coffers of Death Row and its corporate benefactors, Interscope Records, Time Warner and Seagram’s Universal (formerly MCA)....
