The CW Releases First Teaser for Supergirl / Flash / Arrow / Legends Crossover
Ahead of The CW's big Arrow / The Flash / Supergirl / Legends of Tomorrow crossover event, which kicks off in less than three weeks' time, the network has released the first teaser for the four-part story.
Check out the 20-second clip below for a sneak peek at the big DC crossover, as Melissa Benoist's Kara Zor-El gets acquainted with the rest of her heroic team, after having already met Barry Allen in a Supergirl season 1 episode.
The four-night crossover begins on Monday, November 28 with a new episode of Supergirl. That said, Arrow and Legends of Tomorrow executive producer Marc Guggenheim maintains that it's technically a three-series crossover, with Supergirl serving as a primer before the story truly begins in The Flash, carries on into Arrow, and concludes with DC's Legends of Tomorrow.

IGN UK Podcast #357: CoD vs. Battlefield vs. Titanfall
We tried. We tried to discuss the PS4 Pro. We tried to talk about this year's blockbuster shooter trifecta. We tried to talk about Red Oaks Season 2. But Gav 'Van Helsing' Murphy just had to go and notice that Rory and Joe had something strange going on with their necks, and it all went downhill from there. Apologies in advance:

Check out These Updated Pokemon Base Set Cards
The Pokemon Trading Card Game just released XY: Evolutions, a set filled with updated reprints from the very first Base Set originally released in the U.S. way back in 1999. That's right, Charizard, Mewtwo, and the rest are all back with their original card art, now with updated health, attacks, and abilities.
Check out our card comparison viewer below. We've selected a few of our favorite cards so you can move the slider back and forth to see how the new cards compare to the classics.
As you can see, the biggest changes are the increases in health and attack damage. The game has experienced a power creep over the years with Pokemon slowly becoming stronger and stronger, so these Base Set cards have been re-balanced so they can compete in the current metagame. It's crazy to see that Charizard's Fire Spin now does a whopping 200 damage!
1.3 billion Ghost Pokemon Were Caught in Pokemon Go’s Halloween Event

Niantic says Gastly was the most popular Pokemon during the event, with Cubone and Drowzee following behind. Also on Halloween, one YouTuber made a playable Pokemon Go costume.
Watch Dogs 2 to Focus on Deeper Narrative and Characterization
Watch Dogs 2 is due for release this month, and Ubisoft has revealed what it's been doing to improve upon the niggles that players had with the first game.
In an interview with MCV, marketing director Mark Slaughter said: "There will be a more relevant narrative with deeper characterisation; a fresh, lighter tone, more creative hacking options, better driving and a seamless online experience."
"Add to this more choice on how to approach challenges," Slaughter continued, "and a great sense of dynamism and variety in the game world and the team have worked very hard to produce a strong offering that the players will love.”

Rumor: Next X-Men Movie Will Go Big on Dark Phoenix Story
Following reports earlier this week that the X-Men movie series is being reworked, a new rumor has emerged, claiming Dark Phoenix will be the focus of the next installment.
According to LRM, there's been talk of Fox returning to the Dark Phoenix storyline for the next X-Men movie, with it being the "central focus" this time around.
The outlet notes that in the event the studio isn't rebooting the franchise entirely, this could very well mean Sophie Turner will be back to star as Jean Grey, after appearing as the character in X-Men: Apocalypse earlier this year.
