Daredevil: Why Deborah Ann Woll Is OK Karen’s Still in the Dark

Minor spoilers for the first two episodes of Daredevil: Season 2 continue below.

It's been over a season, and Karen Page still doesn't know that her boss/crush Matt Murdock is the same vigilante who has been prowling the streets of Hell's Kitchen. Daredevil isn't the first superhero show to keep some of its key characters in the dark about its central masked hero's identity, but with the first two episodes of Season 2 proving that Karen isn't a woman who is easily fooled, it's hard to imagine that she hasn't started connecting the dots between Matt's late night adventures and the person ridding the streets of crime.

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow Developers Announce Mysterious New Game

Spanish developers MercurySteam have announced a mysterious new game alongside ex-Konami Head of Studio, Dave Cox, reuniting the team that created the Castlevania: Lords of Shadow action franchise.

Almost nothing is known about the game at this point, besides what we can glean from a few concept art screenshots and a teaser website that features a countdown clock - due to end on April 15. No details of genre, intended platforms or even who might act as publisher (if anyone) have been given.

Perhaps most revealing at this point is a single file title - that of the concept art that matches the teaser website's moody interface: "Mecha Inside". Are we about to see a new entry in the rather dormant mech genre?

Xbox One Price Drops to $299 for Spring Sale

Starting this Sunday, March 20, Microsoft has announced that Xbox One will drop to $299 - and $50 will be knocked off of all official Xbox One bundles - for a "limited time".

The 10 Most Powerful Cards Leaving Hearthstone

The next Hearthstone expansion – Whispers of the Old Gods – is coming in late April/early May and will be introducing 134 new cards to the game. (Read our interview with Team 5 here.)

The big change that accompanies that release, however, is the introduction of Wild and Standard formats to Hearthstone. In Wild, any card that has ever been released for Hearthstone will be playable and available for inclusion in your decks (provided you own it, of course), whereas Standard format will only include cards from the Basic and Classic sets, as well as sets released during the previous and current calendar year.

Halo Composer Discusses Being Fired from Bungie

Marty O’Donnell’s sudden departure from Destiny developer Bungie made headlines in 2014, and for the first time the accomplished Halo composer is opening up about the ordeal.

In an interview with IGN Unfiltered, O’Donnell claims tensions had begun to rise between himself and the other studio heads at Bungie over creative and business decisions for Destiny.

here were things that were being re-jiggered, and my frustration with some of the business and creative decisions started to mean that I was on this side of the divide and everybody else was on this side,” he said of the differences between himself and other staffers. “And, as much as we tried to bridge it, it just didn't seem like it was going to get bridged.”

PS VR Bundle Pre-Orders Start Tuesday

We now know when you can put up money for PlayStation VR. According to the PlayStation Blog, pre-orders for Sony's virtual reality headset begin at 7 a.m. PT on March 22.

The bundle applies only to gamers in the United States or Canada.
