Find out more about the Tenet characters Kat and Neil, and which Final Fantasy is Robert Pattinson’s favorite game of all time!Running for my life in Fall Guys‘ Tail Tag is already frustrating. Getting my tail stolen by a hot dog-wearing buffoon on the red team, who I thought was on my team because of my partial color blindness, is downright aggravating. Fall Guys doesn’t have a color blind mode, so players like me have to deal with the problem until Mediatonic implements an accessibility feature that makes team colors more distinct. It’s something the studio says it’s working on, but it is one of several accessibility issues that need to be addressed.
“The biggest game I have difficulty with is Team Tail Tag,” said Redditor DVDN27, who has a type of color blindess called Protanopia. “I’ve been informed by my brother that the colors of the teams in the game are Yellow, Blue, Red, and Green. However, I am unable to tell any difference between the Green and Yellow teams yet I am more often than not in one of these colored teams.”
Players with disabilities have had mixed experiences with Fall Guys. Those who are hard-of-hearing and who have mobility issues have praised the game for its simple button inputs and approachable gameplay design. Others have called Mediatonic out for a lack of basic features that help all disabled players.
Revealed formally last week as the future of the Xbox UI, the August 2020 update for Xbox One has begun rolling out with the new Xbox Experience for Microsoft’s consoles.
The UI update is part of Microsoft’s continuing effort to improve the interface on its consoles while also integrating it with new clients across PC and smartphones, following the launch of Xbox Games Pass for PC and xCloud for Android respectively. The UI has subtle visual changes that align the look of the Xbox ecosystem across the three platforms, while also now offering unlimited sign-ins across devices to make transitions between them a lot smoother.
The Guide, which Microsoft has already drastically changed recently, is getting more refinements as part of the update. This includes a slightly tweaked layout that lets you get to games and notifications as soon as you open it, as well as a more intuitive guide to help new users navigate it for the first time. One of the biggest changes is to party chat, which now allows you to set volume levels for each member of the party individually.
The world of Sherlock Holmes is about to get a little bigger. The upcoming Netflix movie Enola Holmes follows the legendary detective’s little sister, played by none other than Stranger Things star Millie Bobby Brown, and the first trailer has arrived.
Based on a book by Nancy Springer, director Harry Bradbeer–who won two Emmys for his work on Fleabag–brings the story of Sherlock Holmes’ lesser-known family member to life. Enola Holmes arrives on September 23, and you can check out the first trailer for the movie below.
“England, 1884–a world on the brink of change. On the morning of her 16th birthday, Enola Holmes (Brown) wakes to find that her mother (Helena Bonham Carter) has disappeared, leaving behind an odd assortment of gifts but no apparent clue as to where she’s gone or why,” reads the official synopsis. “After a free-spirited childhood, Enola suddenly finds herself under the care of her brothers Sherlock (Henry Cavill) and Mycroft (Sam Claflin), both set on sending her away to a finishing school for ‘proper’ young ladies. Refusing to follow their wishes, Enola escapes to search for her mother in London. But when her journey finds her entangled in a mystery surrounding a young runaway Lord (Louis Partridge), Enola becomes a super-sleuth in her own right, outwitting her famous brother as she unravels a conspiracy that threatens to set back the course of history.”
Gearbox has been teasing the next Borderlands 3 DLC featuring the Psycho character Krieg, and now has officially announced it. Psycho Krieg and the Fantastic Fustercluck will launch on September 10 and includes a free level cap increase for all players.
The DLC has Patricia Tannis testing a theory that Psychos were driven mad by the knowledge of the mythical “Vaulthalla,” and the key is in the mind of Krieg. So she sends in the Vault Hunters to investigate. A launch trailer shows the interior of Krieg’s psyche, with all the chaos you may expect from such a premise. The announcement promises that exploring Krieg’s mind will ultimately lead to the treasures of Vaulthalla, so you can certainly expect to go home with some loot.
The trailer also includes an unexpected appearance from Maya, which the announcement notes is a product of seeing the world through Krieg’s eyes and perceiving characters like Maya as he does. You’ll be able to claim loot like Vault Hunter heads and skins and, of course, new guns, all of which are usable outside of Krieg’s brain.
If you’re looking forward to Madden NFL 21 but haven’t secured a pre-order yet, you’ll want to check out Walmart’s current deal on the standard edition. Madden NFL 21 is discounted to $50.94 on both PS4 and Xbox One at Walmart, which is the only discount available at any major retailer.
If you order now, Walmart is still offering release-day delivery, so you’ll get your copy of Madden NFL 21 on August 28. In addition to the discount, you’ll also get a few pre-order bonuses: a Superstar KO uniform, Elite Player Choice card pack, and five Gold Team Fantasy packs. Walmart also has an exclusive Baltimore Ravens Hall of Fame pack pre-order bonus, which comes with Ravens legends Ray Lewis, Ed Reed, and Shannon Sharpe to use in Ultimate Team.
Walmart regularly discounts new releases ahead of launch, but usually the price is $49.94. Still, saving nine bucks on a brand-new game is always a great deal. Amazon sometimes matches Walmart’s prices on these new-release deals, but as of now that’s not the case here.
Those who plan on sinking more time into Madden 21’s Ultimate Team mode may want to consider the Deluxe or MVP editions. They come with a bunch of extra goodies, and you can start playing today. Meanwhile, EA Play subscribers have been competing on the gridiron for the past few days already. For a full breakdown of the various editions and bonuses, check out our Madden NFL 21 pre-order guide.
The original cast of the acclaimed political drama The West Wing is reuniting. The show ran for seven season until 2006, but now the ensemble cast is getting back together for a special theatrical presentation of a classic episode to encourage voter participation in the upcoming US Presidential election.
Actors Martin Sheen, Bradley Whitford, Rob Lowe, Dulé Hill, Allison Janney, Janel Moloney, and Richard Schiff will reunite on stage for the first time in 17 years to perform the Season 3 episode “Hartsfield’s Landing.” The stage production is titled “A West Wing Special to Benefit When We All Vote” and will be shot over several days at the Orpheum Theatre in LA in October, ahead of an airing on HBO Max in the fall.
West Wing creator and writer Aaron Sorkin will oversee the production, and it will be directed by Thomas Schlamme, who was a producer and director on the show. Sorkin, Schlamme, and the cast have reunited to support When We All Vote, a non-profit, nonpartisan organization co-chaired by Michelle Obama that was founded to increase participation in US elections.
If you aren’t aware, the Akira manga is amazing. You’ve probably seen the movie, which is also awesome, but the nature of feature films means so much of the story had to be cut and adapted to fit into into a digestible length. Not knocking the movie here, either: it’s a work of unparalleled art. But the story in the manga is so much deeper, I can’t recommend it enough.
[poilib element=”commerceDeal” parameters=”slug=akira-35th-anniversary-boxed-set”]
Inside the display-worthy box are 6 volumes of the complete Akira series in hardcover, each with a unique dustcover. There’s also an Akira Art Club book, filled with amazing art and a nice little addition for collectors. On top of that, there’s a patch you can sew onto your favorite red leather motorcycle jacket, to let everyone know how serious you are about your health.
This isn’t the lowest price ever, but it’s the lowest price it’s been in a long time. We’re actually closer to the 40th anniversary of Akira than we are to the 35th anniversary at this point, and the boxed set tends to go out of stock for long periods. I recommend picking it up now rather than later, but you could always wait and hope it comes down again.

There’s also the Wonder Woman Golden Armor console, an homage to the armour set worn by Gal Gadot in the upcoming movie. The console is handmade and features 24-carat gold leaves, and will be auctioned off, with the proceeds going to domestic violence charity Together for Her.
Rounding off the pack is the Barbara Minerva console, easily the most outrageous design of the lot. The hood of the console is adorned with studs, snakeskin and faux leopard fur, inspired by Wonder Woman 1984’s antagonist Cheetah. Microsoft hasn’t made clear whether this console will be made available to buy or win.
If you’d like to know more about Cheetah, check out our explainer for the character, who is played by Kristen Wiig in the movie. For all of the announcements from DC Fandome, check out our rundown of the biggest and best.reveals from the show.

Microsoft has partnered with Warner Bros. to create multiple special-edition Xbox consoles to help promote the release of Wonder Woman 1984, which just had a big showing at DC Fandome. Microsoft has created three custom Xbox consoles that are inspired by the armor and outfits of the female characters in the film.
The first of these is the Golden Armor Xbox One X console that takes inspiration from Gal Gadot’s armor in the movie. It’s made of 24-carat gold leaves, and it includes a matching gold Xbox controller. Microsoft is auctioning off this console on Charitybuzz to help support Together for Her, an initiative that is assisting victims of domestic violence during the coronavirus pandemic.
The second is the Lasso of Truth console that is inspired by Wonder Woman’s famous lasso. It sports an orange design, with the lasso draped across the front. A rainbow version of the Wonder Woman logo is also featured on the console, with the controller design matching it. You can win the Wonder Woman Lasso of Truth console by liking or retweeting a tweet from the Xbox account.
