Ten years after Bloodborne‘s release, its fans are still exploring the game and finding new secrets, while stubbornly waiting waiting for a sequel. I also wish for more stories about old secrets and the dreams of hunters. The hopes for a possible sequel only make me more eager to get in touch with anything that could even slightly hit the same notes Bloodborne does. Instead of a new game, I...
If someone had told me that my most recent hyperfixation, the Netflix phenomenon known as KPop Demon Hunters, would cross with my oldest, most beloved wire mother known as Star Wars, I’d have been very skeptical. After all, what could Cal Kestis, Bode Akuna, and Merrin from the Jedi games possibly have in common with Rumi, Zoey, and Mira from HUNTR/X? As it turns out: the desire to slay their...

The game, which is really more of an interactive screensaver, involves guiding a rubber duck around a pool filled with other plastic ducks. There are 50 rubber ducks to find and a few other things...
The 2025 edition of San Diego Comic-Con was relatively muted: Marvel skipped Hall H in favor of releasing The Fantastic Four: First Steps in all its standalone-thrills-but-pivotal-end-credits-scene glory while James Gunn only popped by to promote Peacemaker season 2, but nothing more from his larger Warner Bros./DCU initiative. But the absence of two major players in the superhero tentpole space meant there was more room than ever for the littler...
Sorry (not sorry) for rolling out this withered, ancient chestnut, but it truly is mind-blowing how good Crysis still looks today. What's even more amazing is just how advanced it looked compared to Crytek's previous game Far Cry, even though the two only released three years apart.I always figured the difference was due to technological advancements, and certainly, Crytek devised some wild new technical features to make Crysis look as...
