Choosing the best class in Diablo 4 isn’t as simple as choosing a class you think sounds cool. Blizzard’s isometric dungeon-crawler features six classes: Barbarian, Necromancer, Rogue, Sorcerer, Spiritborn, and Druid. Each class has a unique class mechanic along with a skill tree equipped with a variety of spells. All of their playstyles are different — and compounded by Diablo 4’s complex game of numbers — but which one is...
Lost in Starlight is Netflix’s first Korean original animated film and it’s a sci-fi romance about two star-crossed lovers. Like, literally star-crossed, because one of them is an astronaut who’s sent on a long space mission, while the other remains behind on Earth. The first trailer shows off the gorgeous setting: a near-future Seoul and the expanses of space. The two young lovers, Nan-young and Jay, meet and a romance...
It’s been a long time since a Marvel movie has felt like a Marvel movie. Sure, the characters are still recognizable, but recently, it has felt like each new entry in the Marvel Cinematic Universe is more interested in introducing us to the franchise’s future than in showing us the latest adventures of the characters we love, let alone giving us new heroes worth caring about. But Marvel’s latest theatrical...
Following up Barbarian can’t be easy. Not only was it an excellent horror movie, but it also had one of the biggest and best twists in recent memory. So instead of simply matching the surprise of Barbarian, it seems like director Zach Cregger is aiming to build something far bigger and creepier with his sophomore film, Weapons. The first full trailer for the movie released on Tuesday and it’s absolutely...

Ralph D’Amato joined Neversoft in 1998 and worked as a producer on the first eight Tony Hawk games. Then, 20 years later, he made a documentary about it. Pretending I’m a Superman: The Tony Hawk Video Game Story is the story of how Neversoft, Activision, and Tony Hawk built a juggernaut in the late ’90s and early 2000s, and between D’Amato’s access and Ludvig Gür’s direction, the film gives one...
There’s now a long and storied history of video game adaptations, from 1993’s Super Mario Bros. to, uh, 2023’s The Super Mario Bros. Movie. There’s also a litany of upcoming based-on-a-video-game movie projects, including planned adaptations of [deep breath] Gears of War, Ghost of Tsushima, Metal Gear Solid, Space Invaders, Death Stranding, and Just Dance. But of the ones already out there and watchable at home, which are worth your...
The Shrouds, the latest movie from horror legend David Cronenberg, certainly asks more questions than it answers. At the heart of it, funerary-tech entrepreneur Karsh (Vincent Cassel) is dealing with some sort of conspiracy — he’s just not sure what. See, Karsh is a widower who’s not quite ready to let his dearly departed wife go — in that she’s buried in his futuristic cemetery right next to where he’s dining...
The Switch 2 launch games lineup encompasses a bit more than just a new Mario Kart. When Nintendo formally unveiled the long-rumored Switch 2 in January, there was very little idea of what to expect at launch. Now that the June 5 Switch 2 release date is on the horizon, we have a fuller idea of what’s coming to the console on day one. Yes, there’s a new Mario Kart...
