Although George Lucas always planned to turn Star Wars into a multi-part saga, he had to make the 1977 original as much as a standalone piece as possible, because there was no guarantee he’d get to make one sequel, let alone a couple of sequels and then also some prequels. When Star Wars was a global phenomenon and Lucas returned to a galaxy far, far away to fill in Vader’s backstory, there was no such worry, because 20th Century Fox executives were eager to funnel every penny they could into Lucas’ intergalactic empire....

The launch of the Steam Deck will have to wait a couple more months. According to Valve, the Steam Deck will not be able to meet its December 2021 shipping date, and instead, every order will begin to be fulfilled from February 2022 onward… Add that to the pile of games and hardware that is going to be released that month. Nevertheless, Valve’s statement on the matter was made on a blog post that reads as follows:...

Earlier this week, Capcom set tongues to wagging when they launched a good old-fashioned countdown website, set to expire this coming Monday. Needless to say, everybody started throwing out their favorite Capcom franchises, from Devil May Cry to Dino Crisis, but what are they actually teasing? Well, on the most recent episode of Jeff Grubb’s Grubbsnax, he made it pretty clear what to expect – Street Fighter VI. Street Fighter VI was already a top guess, as it’s about time for a new game in the series to be announced, and next Monday also happens to play host to this year’s Capcom Pro Tour Season Finals....

The start of this piece has had around eight different versions simply because I’m confused, more than anything else. It’s pretty common to see tone-deaf statements from the heads of gaming companies; it’s been particularly rife surrounding Activision Blizzard and Ubisoft, surrounding the disgusting culture of rape, abuse and sexual predation within the companies. You don’t often see the head of a company express how bad the working conditions of their studio are....

Just a few years ago, King Shark was an unknown in the mainstream conscience, as even self-proclaimed pop-culture nerds probably weren’t aware of DC’s lumbering underwater monarch. Despite appearing in comic books from 1994, King Shark has never been a top-tier member of any Justice League characters’ rogues gallery, which is a bit of a shame. As such, it may be a bit of a surprise to see him in Rocksteady Studios’ Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League....

The Adam Project director and producer Shawn Levy laid out the rules of time travel that are prominent in his and Ryan Reynolds’ latest Netflix movie. Way before the creative pair were attached to the film, T.S. Nowlin’s spec script had been obtained by Tom Cruise. Cruise did have the original intention to star in the film.

The gaming world is rife with cosplay, and it’s no wonder why. Something about video game characters and their imaginative appearances inspire players to create the outfits they see on-screen. As games have gotten bigger and bolder, so too have cosplays, and countless images of new and creative cosplays get uploaded to the Internet every day. Whether it’s the main character of an adventure platformer, the antagonist of an MMO, or even an obscure indie game side character, there’s a cosplay for just about every character....

To this day, one of the most intriguing characters in The Hobbit films and book is Beorn. Very little is known about him and his ability to shape-shift, other than the fact that his people were some of the first to live in the mountains before the goblins came down and took over. He is left deliberately mysterious as a character, in order to keep the audience tantalized. But beneath his gruff exterior, there is a pain and a tragedy that is hinted at, and it makes him a much more sympathetic character....

Prior to launch, there was plenty of debate over The Last of Us HBO series – would the show fall victim to the dreaded video game adaptation curse? Were stars Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsay up to the task of playing Joel and Ellie? Was TLOU’s story really all it was cracked up to be in the first place or just good by video game standards? Well, the first episode of The Last of Us debuted this past Sunday on HBO and the HBO Max streaming service, and it seems those questions have been pretty definitively answered....

However, the most recent installment, Breath of the Wild, takes the iconic series in a whole new direction. With a sequel to Breath of the Wild in development, fans are excited to see the Zelda world continue to evolve....

Making movies with mass appeal is obviously the goal for any major movie studio. Transformers, despite having a fairly successful live-action run under Michael Bay’s supervision, have always struggled to find this mass appeal. Beyond simple numbers, even these Transformers films saw lower-than-desired scores across review sites. Part of what makes it so difficult to make a truly good Transformers film likely comes from the fact that the original point of Transformers on screen was to sell the toys....
