Every year more and more games are adapted into TV shows, and hardly a day goes by without a new adaptation deal being announced, from a second Resident Evil movie reboot to a film based on Split Fiction to the Just Cause movie—announced way back in 2011—once again getting a new writer and director.It's easy to see why. All those previous Resident Evil movies grossed over a billion dollars combined,...
I had a lot of fun over the years with Skull and Bones—all before it came out, that is. It grew from a simple idea—Assassin's Creed: Black Flag's naval battles made multiplayer—into a bona fide white whale for Ubisoft, which struggled so mightily to get it released. And when it finally showed up, seven years after it was first announced, it was fine, and quickly forgotten by most of us.But...
The co-op creepy company sim, REPO, is officially on my long list of beloved spooky pastimes with friends, accompanied by other horror games like Phasmophobia and Lethal Company. Much like the latter, there's quite a scene for fan-made customizations, and we've drummed up a list of some of the best REPO mods to check out before loading up the truck.Don't let concerns over bans or broken installs worry you, either....
One of my favorite things about Souls games is that sometimes the best method for dealing with tragic, corrupted knights and primordial horrors is simply hitting them very hard with a large object. It's an ideal embodied by the Raider, the subject of Bandai Namco's latest Elden Ring: Nightreign character reveal trailer, who seems just as comfortable using himself as a bludgeoning implement as anything else.At first blush, the Raider...
Stories about A Minecraft Movie’s viral “Chicken jockey!” audience response meme continue to roll out on a regular cadence. Minecraft Movie star Jack Black showed up at one screening to warn the audience not to yell or throw things during the scene where his character Steve shrieks at the arrival of a baby zombie riding a chicken, which his new buddy Garrett (Jason Momoa) has to fight in a wrestling...
Solo Leveling season 2 just ended, which means it’s the perfect time to look back at where the anime started. Crunchyroll announced on Tuesday that it’s giving Solo Leveling season 1 a special Blu-ray treatment, with a conventional standard edition, as well as a limited edition release that looks absolutely gorgeous. According to Crunchyroll, both the standard and limited edition Blu-rays of Solo Leveling season 1 will include all 12...
The extraction shooter discourse has been dominated in recent days by Marathon, Bungie's upcoming kick at the can, but there's another game in the mix with the potential to steal its thunder: Arc Raiders, which PC Gamer's Jake Tucker said in 2024 "could be the extraction shooter that finally brings the genre to the masses."Whether or not that happens remains to be seen, but we'll all move one step closer...
Palia is a life simulator and fantasy adventure game where players build up their own homesteads. As players explore the nearby Kilima Valley and Bahari Bay, they learn recipes, catch rare bugs and fish, and make friends with the villagers. The player adventures out into the world, but they always return home to make new furniture, place down a cute plushie, or cook some delicious meals. As the Elderwood update...
It’s easy to forget that Stephen King doesn’t always write horror stories. There’s sci-fi stories like Under the Dome, coming-of-age tales like Stand By Me, and a few nicer stories that fall somewhere in-between. But with his horror-first approach, it’s probably fitting that King’s short story The Life of Chuck is getting a movie adaptation by Mike Flanagan, someone who also does most of his work by scaring people. In...
It’s not easy to be Henry, the protagonist of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. I spent my first 15 hours or so getting my ass beat around every corner of Bohemia; I’d either perish to a pack of wolves, stumble upon a lone soldier, or fail to subtly steal a slurp of soup. That experience looks like a balmy day in the park compared to the new Hardcore mode, which has...
