There’s a moment in 2013’s Man Of Steel where, in the midst of Smallville’s destruction at the hands of Zod’s alien thugs, Christopher Meloni’s US colonel says of Superman, “This man is not our enemy.” It’s a moment that could pass as merely a grace note in Man Of Steel’s second half – a breather in the midst of its city-crumbling action. But it’s a line that gets to the core themes in the filmand its central character, as played by Henry Cavill....
Fear the Walking Dead is now poised to outlive the soon-to-end mothership series from which it was spun, thanks to AMC’s renewal for a seventh season. While it’s far too early to speculate on Season 7, since the announcement only arrives shortly after the recent midseason finale of Season 6, the renewal will likely boost the rumor that the show’s original main character, Madison Clark (Kim Dickens), will make a momentous return after her presumed death in Season 4....
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt executive producer John Mamais talks Cyberpunk 2077 in the pre-show segment of the Golden Joystick Awards, hyping up the upcoming title with a strong statement. Ever since The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt started taking the gaming world by storm, gamers everywhere have been eager to find out more regarding CD Projekt Red’s next game. Named Cyberpunk 2077, the developer has been remaining very quiet on the title, as it busily works on the project in the background....
James Baldwin, who won the World’s Fastest Gamer contest in Los Angeles last year, has proven that his skills extend far beyond esports. Despite his niche expertise in sim-racing, the British gamer won his first real-world racing debut this past weekend. Last October, Baldwin walked away the winner of World’s Fastest Gamer by beating expert sim-racers in a series of digital and on-track tests for a contract worth more than $1 million....
Worms WMD is a breath of fresh air for the Worms franchise, introducing several new gameplay elements that compliment the staple 2D gameplay nicely. When we got our first in-depth look at Worms WMD, we proclaimed that that the game looked like the best addition to the Worms franchise since Worms Armageddon. Now that we’ve had more time with the full version of Worms WMD, we can set that in stone: this is the Worms game that fans have been waiting for since 1999....
The X-Files as we once knew it appears to be all but over after 11 seasons spanning the course of 25 years, two feature films, and numerous comics, books, and video game tie-ins. On a show where famously no one ever really dies, the prospect of another run with David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson is all but dead. That’s thoroughly disappointing for fans who were (to put it nicely) unsatisfied with the season 11 finale and series creator Chris Carter himself recently said he was “sorry” for how the series ended with a string of cliffhangers that may never get resolved....

In November for Black Friday, some gamers received a message through the Xbox app on their smartphone that included a code for a $5 Microsoft Store gift card.

At E3 2013, Microsoft and Sony had what arguably could be their greatest battle in the console wars ever, both vying for media buzz in the full unveilings of their respective next-gen video game consoles. For Microsoft, it was a challenging time since they were battling bad press from the initial unveiling of the Xbox One a month prior. It didn’t help that their console had a pile of “features” which much of the industry criticized for being anti-consumer, and it really didn’t help that their console require the Kinect and was $100 more expensive than the rival PlayStation 4....

Sega’s Yakuza series has been known for providing some of the best beat-em-up action around, but the latest entry is a bit different. Yakuza: Like a Dragon released last week and shifted the gameplay style from action combat to turn based RPG fighting. It’s a pretty stark change and many were puzzled why developer Ryu Ga Gotoku Studios would fiddle with something that worked so well. In an interview with YouTuber Archipel, series producer Toshihiro Nagoshi revealed that Like a Dragon didn’t initially start life as an RPG....
This Young Justice: Phantoms review contains spoilers. Young Justice Season 4 Episode 21 I did not expect, in the dregs of this season of Young Justice, that I would at any point be standing up and cheering during an episode. But that’s exactly what happened when Tomar-Re sacrificed himself to save New Genesis from a big old pile of Kirby insanity, and then his ring chose Forager as his replacement. That was awesome....
When most players call out EA Sports for how they are portrayed FIFA 21, it usually has to do with them finding their rating to be too low, as seen with Inter Milan striker Romelu Lukaku. This time, his cross-town rival in AC Milan striker Zlatan Ibrahimović has taken issue with being in the game at all. In a Twitter post, Ibrahimović blasted EA Sports for his face and name being in FIFA 21 without his permission....

This article contains spoilers for House of the Dragon episode 5. Very few things can stop a droning king midway through his prepared remarks, but as it turns out, the boldness of Queen Alicent (Emily Carey) is one of them. Arriving late and announced to a royal feast in honor of the Princess of Dragonstone and her impending marriage, Alicent pointedly enters the Red Keep’s throne room while her rapidly aging husband, King Viserys Targaryen (Paddy Considine), struggles to stand up and give his first of likely many planned toasts honoring his daughter....
There’s always something bittersweet about finishing a well-loved game. Sometimes the cure is jumping right back in and playing through it another time, but some people prefer to find something new. That’s not always easy. Some games really manage to distinguish themselves from all the rest, even within their own genre. Persona has a lot of fans that would say that about it, hailing the franchise and the most recent entry, Persona 5, as a crucial piece of RPG history....
Ubisoft gave us quite a surprise a few days ago with the announcement of Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla. It was quickly followed the next day by the first cinematic trailer, which was soaked in blood and sweet, sweet Viking action. There is a lot to unpack from the trailer, but there is still much we don’t know about the plot at this point. It could be a long time before we get answers, as the game is slotted for a holiday release window....
