Ms Marvel’s Voice Actress Thanks The Fans for Playing Marvel’s Avengers March 27, 2023

Ladies and gentlemen, Sandra Saad.
I’d like to personally thank Sandra Saad. Honestly, I was a big fan of this game and savored every day I spent playing through the main story. It was my first introduction to the Marvel character Kamala Khan (the new Ms Marvel) and I really appreciated Sandra’s performance. Since playing the game I had found myself going back and reading the original Ms Marvel graphic novels, heck I’ve ever checked out the Ms Marvel official stage play, Mirror of Most Value by Masi Asare. I also checked out the Ms Marvel series on Disney+. I don’t think I would have done all of that had I not been exposed to her character in this game. In fact, this game is my favorite depiction of the character.
Crystal Dynamics is ending their support for Marvel’s Avengers, and very soon they will be removing the game’s controversial microtransactions. This means players will automatically unlock all the random cosmetics that had previously required purchases. I cannot empathize how happy I am that this is happening.
Marvel’s Avengers is out now for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
iOS 16.4 Released March 27, 2023

Apple has just released a whole bunch of updates for all the devices they have available on the market. An important update, iOS 16.4, has just been released for iPhone. The new updates includes new Memojis on top of the usual bug fixes and optimizations.
We’ve also checked other Apple devices and can confirm similar updates have been released for the Mac, iPad, Apple Watch, and Studio Display.
The new update, depending on your device will weigh in at around 1.9GB, so you will need to free up A LOT of space on your device to make room for this update. Mac users with a Studio Display will need to install their Mac update before they can install the Studio Display update. The Studio Display’s update weighs in at only 660MB.
We did notice that this update will by default enable automatic updates on your devices. While this can be turned off after the fact, it is disappointing to see Apple is moving forward with forcing their updates.

Metroid Prime Remastered Accolades Trailer March 4, 2023
Posted by Maniac in Game News.add a comment
In 2003, I purchased my very first dedicated game console since the original NES. As a PC gamer, I wanted to pick a console I felt had the most unique games I would not be able to play on the PC. That console was the Nintendo GameCube and the first game I got for it was Metroid Prime.
This was a first person adventure game with tight controls and a fully explorable immersive environment, but more than that it showed me that I had been missing out on games outside of the PC. Now, Metroid Prime has been remastered for the Nintendo Switch, and the reviews of it have been nothing short of glorious.
Metroid Prime Remastered is out now for the Nintendo Switch
