There have been so many movies turned into video games in the last several decades that it’s hard to keep track of them all. On the other hand, television-to-game adaptations have been a little more sparse. This might be because game developers don’t know what genre to fit specific TV shows into. Turning a 1990s
This article contains House of the Dragon episode 3 spoilers. It is no small thing when a king goes hunting. As author George R.R. Martin is no doubt relieved to see—after previously suggesting the depiction of a king’s hunt in Game of Thrones was one of his great regrets—King Viserys’ chase during last night’s House
There is no franchise that is so big that it’s immune from some bizarre footnotes that become a forgettable part of its history. It’s inevitable. By the time The Empire Strikes Back had come out, Star Wars had already given us a bewildering TV special about Chewbacca’s version of Christmas, a comedy sketch of Richard
Warning: contains spoilers for The Capture season 2 episode 3. At the end of The Capture season 2 opener, DCI Rachel Carey revealed her real reason for having accepted the job with MI5. Hers wasn’t a case of “Can’t beat them, join them”, as she’d been accused by DS Flynn, but rather ‘join them so
While seventh anniversaries aren’t usually considered to be milestone moments, the seventh anniversary of Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain has been getting a lot of love today. In fact, it seems that MGS creator Hideo Kojima has been feeling especially nostalgic for his days with the famous stealth franchise he created and turned
Most fans know BoJack Horseman for its wacky animal cast, quippy puns, and moving exploration of mental illness. But as creator Raphael Bob-Waksberg once told Variety, BoJack Horseman is also a series centered on “showbiz satire.” A crucial element of the critically beloved hit is how its storylines critique the entertainment industry’s seedy underbelly. BoJack
Reactions to the reveal of Naughty Dog’s The Last of Us remake were decidedly mixed. Some were impressed by the remake’s completely rebuilt visuals, others were irked by changes to some of the character designs, and many were flabbergasted by the fact that a remake of a 2013 game is selling for the retail price
In Community season 3’s Halloween episode, “Horror Fiction in Seven Spooky Steps,” Jeff Winger (Joel McHale) proclaims that he’s not a sociopath because he always knows what he’s doing is wrong. But, crucially, he does it anyway. So while he may not be a sociopath, he’s an almost textbook psychopath – which might also explain
Crossovers are a popular event in any video game. Introducing characters and gear from fan-favorite franchises into an established game is a great way to keep things fresh and the playerbase engaged, especially when the crossover features more than just a few rewards. The best crossover events feel like they’re seamlessly adding to the core
This article contains MCU spoilers If there’s one character who has really increased their stock by jumping off the comic book page and into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it’s Wong, the current Sorcerer Supreme. No, wait. Actually, it’s M’baku of the Jabari Tribe. But after him, it’s probably Wong, the current Sorcerer Supreme. A character
As I continue my look at the history of video games that were ahead of their time, I have to admit that initially dreaded the idea of writing the Nintendo 64 entry in this series. Mind you, that’s not because the N64 library wasn’t filled with innovative games, but rather that the N64 library was
This Lord of the Rings article contains spoilers for The Rings of Power. As J.R.R. Tolkien‘s books and the films of Peter Jackson already showed, not all of the races of Middle-earth are preoccupied with dark lords, wars, or magical rings. During the Third Age of The Lord of the Rings timeline, while the Elves,
This article is sponsored by Sneak Energy It is time to discuss something important. Something that, thanks to the many distractions and responsibilities this world concocts, becomes even more important with age. In the wise words of the once-great Canadian Philosopher, Drake, I got a lot of people trying to drain me of this energy…to
Sometimes, telly’s only job is to make us feel better about ourselves. We tune into things to tune out of others, and root for someone that has it worse off. Watching Euphoria’s Rue space out or Cassie dress up as an extra from Oklahoma! is now TV’s messy binge-watch of choice. For early 2000s Brits,
Ever since three of its key members died or retired in Avengers: Endgame, MCU fans have all had the same question: who even are the Avengers anymore? MCU chief Kevin Feige has been pretty tight-lipped about when we’ll see the next lineup or who’s in consideration, but a mainstay of the comic book team will
If the Saints Row reboot didn’t quite do it for you and you’re still looking for a crime game to tide you over until the release of GTA 6…well, you’ve got quite a few options. You could even just dive into the world of GTA Online (if you dare). However, for my money (which, in
Is the truth still out there? Do we still want to believe in 2022? Yes, says one pop culture fandom in particular, who even after facing many disappointments with the recent revival series, continue to clamor for more seasons of The X-Files. Creator Chris Carter may have wrapped up the four-part “My Struggle” saga that
This article contains spoilers for She-Hulk: Attorney at Law. There’s a terrific little scene at the end of Episode 3 of She-Hulk: Attorney at Law when Jennifer Walters, aka She-Hulk (Tatiana Maslany), is walking through a deserted parking lot at night and is suddenly attacked by a quartet of extremely rough-looking customers. It’s a scenario
By many accounts, Halo Infinite is an overall fantastic, if notably flawed, game. Gamers and critics alike hailed the game’s campaign as a return to greatness, especially after the disappointment that was Halo 5: Guardians. However, despite some overall improvements, Halo Infinite shipped incomplete, and its developers promised that those missing features would eventually be
This month Disney will be hosting Disney+ Day, which means the streamer’s list of new releases for September 2022 is more jam-packed than usual. Keeping with tradition, however, the biggest release this month is of the Marvel of Star Wars variety, with Star Wars taking its turn after Marvel did with She-Hulk in August. Prequel
Developer FromSoftware has historically enjoyed what certainly seems to be a great relationship with Sony and PlayStation. FromSoftware’s first franchise, King’s Field, was exclusive to the PlayStation, PlayStation 2, and PlayStation Portable, and PC fans aren’t going to let you forget that Bloodborne remains a PS4 exclusive. Over the years, though, the studio has shown
The Prime Video series The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power is set during the Second Age of Arda in the fictional world created by J.R.R. Tolkien. Most people are only familiar with the lands of Middle-earth that we see in Peter Jackson’s The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings trilogies, but
