During our interview with Mike Tyson, he indicated he'd like to make a new boxing game with Tyson Ranch branding, which sounds like a plan to us. Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!! debuted on NES 33 years ago, so we're due for a new rendition of it. At least, that's what Tyson himself thinks, and we agree. During our interview with the boxing legend, he expressed interest in a new Punch-Out!! title, or at the very least a game by way of his cannabis licensing and branding company, Tyson Ranch. And honestly,

The 2020 Money in the Bank match was a dumb, ridiculous spectacle with tons of fan service and an action film soundtrack. But most importantly, it was funny and entertaining. It felt surprisingly spontaneous for something that was pre-taped. WWE needs to do more matches like this for the remainder of the COVID-19 pandemic.The dialogue between the fans and performers is indispensable in a professional wrestling event. This is not a dramatic play, where the audience sits quietly and holds its applause for the final bow. In professional wrestling, fans

Sometimes life gives you strange opportunities that you had not planned for. This was the case for Shacknews on Thursday, when we received a call about a potential interview opportunity with Mike Tyson. I was invited to be part of the Facebook Gaming and State Farm's Play A Part Together FIFA livestream this week with a very special interview with Iron Mike. Now Mike doesn't really stay on topic the best, so a lot of the interview was not fit for the livestream. Luckily, Shacknews doesn't have such stringent standards

The game’s director took to social media to address the criticism, saying he recognizes and understands

Doom Eternal executive producer Marty Stratton has penned an open letter that doubles as a statement in response to the game's original soundtrack release.

Greetings, Guardians. It’s Thursday, which means another This Week at Bungie is landing in our laps to discuss the state of the game we all love. Today, and hopefully every week going forward, I’m going to do my best to read between the lines and sift through the public relations coating that Bungie’s weekly post has. This week we’ll be focusing on Guardian Games and the seasonal model since that’s what Bungie has opted to discuss. Guardian Games shenanigans? Bungie took a lot of time to discuss how the scoring
