Ghostwire: Tokyo Is an Immersive Visit to Japan of the Paranormal Variety
In the crowded landscape of video games known as Spring 2022, Ghostwire: Tokyo serves as the only paranormal vacation to Japan. Of course, since it’s made by the Japanese horror masterminds at Tango Gameworks, digital travelers better be ready for some visits from spirits, demons, and various other creepy crawlies (often based on Japanese folklore) on their trip. After all, the version of Tokyo presented in Ghostwire: Tokyo is nearly devoid of regular human life — instead filled with “Visitors” who aren’t always the friendliest of guests. With a unique take on modern Tokyo and a variety of ghastly enemies to take down, the first-person action-adventure title veers pretty far from Tango’s previous Bethesda-published entries in The Evil Within series — and simultaneously separates itself fro...
Sequel to ‘The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild’ Officially Delayed to 2023
In what appears to be a constant stream of delays in the video game industry, Nintendo has now suffered the same fate with its planned release of the sequel to the critically acclaimed The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, pushing its original 2022 release window to 2023.

However, the expanded world goes beyond that, and there will be an even wider variety of fea...

Sony Officially Turns PlayStation Plus Into Games Subscription Service to Rival Xbox Game Pass

Judge Approves Activision Blizzard’s $18 Million USD Settlement in Harassment Lawsuit
A California judge has approved an $18 million USD settlement between Activision Blizzard’s and the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). The settlement stems from a complaint that the EEOC filed in September following a multi-year investigation, in which Activision Blizzard employees alleged that they faced sexual harassment and pregnancy discrimination at the company and were punished if they complained. In February, a federal judge denied the request of California state regulators for a delay in the settlement case made by the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH). The DFEH had argued that the settlement would hurt its own case against Activision by allowing the company to destroy relevant evidence. As part of the new agreement with the EEOC, Activis...
Kevin Morby Shares New Single ‘Rock Bottom’
Kevin Morby has released a new single “Rock Bottom,” with an accompanying video this morning. The song comes from his forthcoming album This Is A Photograph which was announced earlier this month. Along with Morby himself, the “Rock Bottom” video features jewelry artist and TikTok star Ariel Kellogg along with Tim Heidecker. The playful video uses bright colors and modern scenes to display a modern, parodied version of a western.

Nigo ft. Lil Uzi Vert “Heavy,” Uncle Murda “Diet Coke Freestyle” & More | Daily Visuals 3.29.22
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Victor VIRGILE / Getty While Nigo isn’t exactly a well-known name to the current Hip-Hop generation, OG’s are more than familiar with the man who created the A Bathing Ape brand that had the streets on smash for a minute back in the day. Now that he’s tapping back into the music game we can’t help but respect his choice to work with some of the biggest names in music at the tender age of 51. This time around the Japanese designer links up with Lil Uzi Vert for his visuals to “Heavy” where he, Uzi and A$AP Rocky go shopping for bricks of ice while enjoying the VIP treatment at the spot that Jim Jones was denied at the Gucci store a few weeks back.

Watch: PUDDLE OF MUDD Covers BLACK SABBATH’s ‘War Pigs’ At Oklahoma City’s HONEYMOON ROCK FEST
Fan-filmed video of PUDDLE OF MUDD performing a cover version of BLACK SABBATH‘s “War Pigs” during the band’s headlining set on March 18 at the Honeymoon Rock Fest in Oklahoma City can be seen below. Last November, PUDDLE OF MUDD frontman Wes Scantlin made headlines when he walked offstage midconcert at the EPIC Event Center in Green Bay, Wisconsin after complaining about the venue’s lights. Wes had almost non-stop problems with the law, alcohol, finances and other issues, before claiming to have gotten sober in 2017. Scantlin said that he ended up going back to rehab and receiving treatment “because there’s really nowhere else to go.” He also credited his family and fans for giving him the strength to try to get better. Scantlin was arrested...
DANNY LILKER Says ‘Decibel Magazine Metal & Beer Fest: Philly’ Could Turn Out To Be NUCLEAR ASSAULT’s Last U.S. Show
Bassist Danny Lilker of New York thrash veterans NUCLEAR ASSAULT says the group’s June appearance at the Decibel Magazine Metal & Beer Fest: Philly could turn out to be their final United States performance. The band will play its seminal 1986 “Game Over” debut in full at the event. In a recent interview with Decibel magazine editor-in-chief Albert Mudrian, Danny touched upon why NUCLEAR ASSAULT has resisted the ongoing trend of bands playing their popular albums front-to-back in a live setting. “It’s funny,” he said. “There’s this thing now what they call ‘deep cuts’ and everything. Musicians laugh at that expression because that means ‘shit you never wanted to play live’ because you have an hour to play and you p...
SEX PISTOLS: ‘The Original Recordings’ To Arrive In May
For the first time in over 20 years, 20 of SEX PISTOLS‘ recordings from 1976 to 1978 are collected together to tell the story of one of the world’s most influential and extraordinary bands. “Sex Pistols: The Original Recordings” covers a historic period when the band were rarely out of the news or the charts. SEX PISTOLS left the British establishment shaking when they exploded onto the music scene, kickstarting what later became known as punk — a term the band was never comfortable with. Young people ripped up not just their musical forebears but their social ones too and SEX PISTOLS were the snarling, ferocious figurehead of the revolution. They made one perfect, 40-minute album for the ages in 1977’s “Never Mind The Bollocks” and from its artwor...
