Supernatural’s 9 Best Villains

Dean and Sam Winchester have been in the business of fighting the weird and unusual for 11 seasons of Supernatural so far, with Season 12 just around the corner. They were raised to be hunters, so you could say they've been entrenched in their profession for most of their lives. The pilot episode saw the brothers fighting to take down a single ghost. The Season 11 finale saw them bag hundreds -- maybe thousands -- of ghosts at a time and give God a helping hand. They've come a long way.

Their many battles with the bad, worse, and the absolute worst have made the Winchesters more capable, though defeating the things that go bump in the night has required sacrifice and resurrection and a whole lot of spilled blood. Various beings with villainous intent have tried to take down the hunters but they haven't succeeded. Still, several of them have given Sam and Dean hell.

2 New Toys-to-Life Games Aiming at Older Audiences

Skylanders and Lego Dimensions continue to perform well for younger players but with the demise of Disney Infinity there is a question mark whether the toys-to-life experiment is in decline.

Unless you’ve been on another planet the last few years you’ll be familiar with these games that use plastic figures to unlock in-game content by placing them on a portal peripheral. Progress in the game is then saved back to the toy with no buttons or wires.

Five years on and with these young players out growing these experiences the race is on to create the next craze for the toys-to-life generation, as well as expand its demographic to mainstream gamers.

South Park will soon be returning to our screens for its Season 20, and a handful of images and trailers have been released in preparation.

Bioware Asking Fans to Voice Mass Effect Andromeda Characters

There are two minor character roles in Mass Effect Andromeda up for grabs, and Bioware is asking for fans to play them.

The scripts for the two characters are available, and if you want the chance to win a role, you'll have to record yourself reading the script (either audio or video), and send it to Bioware.

You have from now until September 28 to enter, when the judging will begin by a panel of Bioware employees. The eventual winner will be notified on or before November 30, and will then be flown to one of Bioware's recording studios, put up in a hotel for two nights, and perform in a professional recording session.

Death Stranding Will Be Open World, Have Co-op

Hideo Kojima took to the stage at Sony's TGS conference today to reveal a few tasty tidbits around his first game after leaving Konami, Death Stranding.
