Veteran voice actor Roger Craig Smith breaks down some of his biggest roles, including Batman, Apex Legends’ Mirage, and of course, Sonic The Hedgehog.Actor Sam Heughan, known for his starring role on Outlander, has commented on the possibility of playing James Bond someday. Speaking to Esquire, Heughan said that he would be interested in the part, but he’s wary to talk about it over fear of jinxing it.
“I think any actor would never say they’re not interested,” he said. “Of course, you’d be interested. I mean, it is all rumors, and sometimes you think, should I, should we even talk about it? Because you don’t want to jinx it.”
Heughan said the producers of the Bond film series “must be sick of it” when it comes to actors throwing their hat into the ring. But the actor said he loves James Bond as a character and would be interested in getting involved in the 007 series if it ever came to be.
Microsoft’s excellent 2018 racing game Forza Horizon 4 is now available on Steam. The game was initially only available on Xbox and the Windows Store, but you can now buy it on Steam.
The Steam edition of Forza Horizon 4 features cross-play support, allowing users to race with and against those on Xbox, Windows 10 PC, and via the cloud through Android. It also includes Steam Cloud saves, though cross-saves between Steam and other platforms are not supported “due to technical limitations,” according to Microsoft.
Steam is selling multiple editions of Forza Horizon 4, including the standard edition, the Digital Deluxe edition, and the Ultimate editions, which come with various DLC packs and other extras. Also of note is that you still need an Xbox Live account to play Forza Horizon 4 on Steam.
In an article on Xbox Wire welcoming Bethesda to Team Xbox, Spencer wrote the following: “With the addition of the Bethesda creative teams, gamers should know that Xbox consoles, PC, and Game Pass will be the best place to experience new Bethesda games, including some new titles in the future that will be exclusive to Xbox and PC players.”

The news arrives as Microsoft’s $7.5 billion acquisition of ZeniMax Media has been finalized, which brings franchises like Doom, Fallout, Wolfenstein and The Elder Scrolls under Xbox’s wing.
Many fans have been interested in whether new games from Bethesda could be exclusive to the platform going forward as a result of the deal. Spencer’s comments suggest that “some” will. Previously, Spencer said that future Bethesda titles would come to “other consoles on a case by case basis.”

One of the biggest games hanging in the balance is The Elder Scrolls 6. Bethesda boss Todd Howard has said that it’s “hard to imagine” it as an Xbox-exclusive game. After the acquisition was announced, Bethesda and Lucasfilm revealed a new Indiana Jones project, which could also potentially be exclusive to Xbox.
In other Xbox news, Director of Program Management Jason Ronald recently said that there are unannounced Xbox games scheduled for release in 2021.

Peyton Royce is a former WWE Women’s Tag Team Champion and has been branching off the past year as a solo star but hasn’t received much of a chance in terms of being in the title picture. After Monday Night Raw this week, Royce, real name Cassie McIntosh, delivered one hell of a promo in arguing her case of getting a title shot.
“I’m not here to hide my talents,” she said on Raw Talk, Monday night’s post-show. “In fact, my talents are hidden by the opinions of others. Why not let me go? Why not let me go and see what happens? Our Raw Women’s Champion Asuka is out and, yes, that sucks for her, but when a talent goes down, a spot opens up. And that spot is massive. So why not me?”

Royce went on to say how difficult it was to relocate and pack up her life and move to an entirely different country with no real support system to chase this dream of being a professional wrestler, but she found herself stuck in the system.
Ubisoft has released the long-awaited online mode for Watch Dogs: Legion in its 3.20 update. The title update is now available across all consoles, though as previously announced players on PC and Amazon Luna will have to wait at least a bit longer.
The Legion Online Mode lets you construct a team of DedSec operatives, using the full suite of abilities granted by the game’s core “play as anyone” mechanic. That means there are multiple ways to deal with missions depending on the makeup of your team, like a construction worker that grants you special avenues of attack. You can also take part in co-op world events and earn exclusive rewards for playing through with your squad.
Aside from the big online update, the 3.2 patch also includes some general bug fixes. One of those is a missing mask bug that has been a community complaint recently, and all of your missing masks will automatically pop back into your wardrobe after you’ve downloaded the patch.
Almost 10 years after the first game was released, Jetpack Joyride is finally getting a sequel that once again stars Barry Steakfries in his quest to stop the latest evil scheme of Dr Brains.
Much like the original game, Jetpack Joyride 2 is an endless runner where players touch the screen to make Barry jump over obstacles and enemies, or maneuver directly over and through more devious traps by using Barry’s jetpack.
One big change is that Barry now has a gun in addition to all of his other power-ups, which can be used in segments to take out hovering robot enemies. Don’t worry though, Little Stomper is still around and there’s even a robot dog sidekick.
Epic Games has announced some crucial details about Fortnite’s Chapter 2 Season 6 update involving one of its new events, the Zero Crisis Finale. In a blog post, Epic confirmed how things will go when the big update arrives on March 16. Here’s what we know.
When the update launches on March 16, Season 5 will officially come to an end. This will involve playing through the conclusion of Agent Jones’ mission as part of the Zero Crisis Finale event. “The aftermath of this event is sure to shape Reality as we know it,” Epic said.
This Zero Crisis Finale event is a “solo experience,” Epic said, and you can play through it whenever you log into Fortnite for the first time when the update comes out. This is a big change from the past, as previous events of this nature were structured more like live events where if you couldn’t attend it, or if servers were full, you potentially missed out. Fans complained about this, and it appears Epic listened and is delivering a change.
The next Evil Dead movie will start production later this year. The news was confirmed by the horror franchise’s star Bruce Campbell, who stated that the movie will shoot in New Zealand.
Campbell gave the update about the new Evil Dead film to Knox News, while promoting a virtual screening of Sam Raimi’s classic original 1981 movie. He also stated that the film will take place “out of the woods” and will instead have a “a modern-day urban setting.”
The new Evil Dead movie will be directed by Irish filmmaker Lee Cronin. In June last year, Campbell stated that the title was Evil Dead Now, and revealed that he wouldn’t be reprising his role as hapless hero Ash. “You could have different heroes, different heroines in this case,” he said. “This one’s gonna be a little more dynamic. We just want to keep the series current. And the mantra, really, is that our heroes and heroines are just regular people. That’s what we’re going to continue.”
