The Flash Season 7 Episode 18 The Flash Season 7 ends as it lived, with a mixed-bag finale that is generally entertaining to watch, but that doesn’t make much sense if you look at it too closely. “Heart of the Matter, Part 2” gives us some highly entertaining visuals

A new collection of Dune character posters showcase the film’s insanely stacked cast. “New character posters for Dune have upended the internet.

If you’re anything like most gamers from a certain era, you probably grew up assuming that Zelda and Link were in love. After all, he is a hero, she is a princess, he was a boy, she was a girl…can we make it any more obvious? However, the truth of the matter is that nothing

The reveal of Psychonauts 2‘s upcoming invincibility toggle has reignited an increasingly frustrating debate over video game difficulty.

This RICK AND MORTY review contains spoilers. Rick and Morty Season 5 Episode 4 There are some episodes of Rick and Morty that I’ve started calling sci-fi puzzle boxes, in which the episode introduces a “what if…?” sci-fi concept and then follows it up by asking “and then what? and then what? and then what?”

Din Djarin doesn’t want to be involved in galactic war. He just wants to find a happy life for his kid, Grogu.

Game genres go in and out of fashion all the time, but for nearly 30 years, first-person shooters have been one of the industry’s most reliable sources for blockbuster experiences that often help dictate the future of the medium.  There’s no one element that makes FPS games so brilliant, and that is, ironically enough, exactly

Once best known in superhero movie circles as a purveyor of Batman and Superman movies, Warner Bros. has found big success mining other DC comic book legends in recent years.

Even series favorites Leon S. Kennedy (Nick

This RICK AND MORTY review contains spoilers. Rick and Morty Season 5 Episode 3 It seems like Rob Schrab is nostalgic for the era of kids’ cartoons from my childhood.
