The boy band to movie star pipeline seems to kicking into gear once again, and this time the rising star is none other than Harry Styles, formerly of the band One Direction. Though he made his name as one fifth of one of the best selling boy bands in history, reports suggest Styles is currently in the final negations to star in a feature adaptation of My Policeman, an LGBTQ novel by Bethan Roberts....
It’s safe to assume that nearly every fan of FromSoftware’s Souls franchise is wondering where Elden Ring is. Announced during the Xbox conference at E3 2019, only 3 months after the release of Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, Elden Ring is FromSoftware’s first foray into a pseudo-open world game design. Despite the anticipation from Souls fans since its announcement, FromSoftware has not said a word on the project’s status since June 2019....
LEGO Cuusso is a collaborative website between LEGO Group and their Japanese partner Cuusoo where blockheads are able to submit ideas on sets they would like to see from LEGO. If an idea gains 10,000 supporters it might possibly get produced. It’s no shock that Mojang, the people behind Minecraft, seized the opportunity to create some sets they’d love to see become reality. Minecraft, after all, is basically one big LEGO playground....
Back in February, Activision Blizzard celebrated its record year of profits in 2018 by laying off 800 members of its staff. Needless to say, that may affect the morale around the workplace a little bit. And that’s only the tip of the negative news iceberg for Blizzard this year. They’re also still under investigation for securities fraud, they’ve been slow to reduce their crunch time hours, and then there was that whole bizarre business about having employees share their pregnancy data in exchange for $1 gift cards....
The premise for The Elder Scrolls is already patently ridiculous. There’s a lot of super dramatic tension between elves and humans, nobody knows where the Dwemer went, gods com and go as they please, and there’s a race of living, sentient cats. The whole thing is begging to be made fun of, and not just from an outside perspective, but from people who love the mythos. I’ve spent a huge chunk of my life embroiled in the world of The Elder Scrolls and I can tell you, as a fan, the whole world is stupid....
Hitman 3’s next themed season has been revealed, and this month it’s the Season of Pride, taking place in Chongqing. The Hitman community doesn’t seem too happy about the content though. Last week saw the end of the Season of Greed, Hitman 3’s first season of content. IO Interactive has now announced that the next season will be themed around Pride, and has released a new trailer showcasing some of what to expect....
This article contains spoilers for all eight episodes of A League of Their Own. In the face of all that, the queer players and other characters in their orbit form deep bonds, supporting one another as they do their best to survive, understand themselves, and take back as much joy as they can, in a world that doesn’t provide for them. They find community with one another, with the local LGBTQ scene, and with other queers in the League....
The following article contains spoilers for WandaVision. After weeks of speculating and theorizing, the first season of WandaVision came to an end, leaving many Marvel fans disappointed. The internet wanted a surprise cameo, an explanation for what happened to white Vision, and the longest-running theory of Mephisto’s appearance to come true. However, the show didn’t offer any of that. What it did succeed at offering, apart from the epic introduction to the Scarlet Witch, was an appeal to non-Marvel fans....
As the years go on, one of the few consistents in gaming remains Mario and the quality of most of the major Super Mario Bros. games. While it sometimes feels like Mario has always been with us and will remain a video game mainstay for years to come, the character’s remarkable longevity does nothing to answer that question that has plagued us for over 35 years: “How old is Mario?”...
His newest project, Space Jam: A New Legacy, is no different. The LeBron James-led film takes elements from its predecessor and makes them feel familiar and refreshing at the same time. At its core, the movie is built around a relatable story about a Black father and son who are still learning from each other. The focus on the nuances of their relationship – even though the movie is set in this cartoony and outrageous world – is what makes New Legacy a Malcolm D....
Red Dead Redemption 2 made a huge impact when it was released and many were happy to freely roam the wild west and embody a cowboy.

Many players have enjoyed hunting elements online and there is a relatively easy way for this to become a profession in the game....

From regicidal plots to operating bathhouses as information mills, to syndicating criminals and churchgoers for mutually assured evasion from the law, Sigismund Dijkstra - or Sigi Reuven, as he is sometimes known - is one of the most ruthless, efficient, and fascinating masterminds in the world of The Witcher. Although often considered an antagonist, both the books and games see Geralt of Rivia collaborating with Dijkstra on more than one occasion....
Sigh, remember Splinter Cell? Wasn’t it fun? There was just something wonderful about stalking enemies as a master of espionage with a cool pair of night-vision goggles and the grumbly, gravelly voice of Michael Ironside. Necks were snapped, files were stolen, and the world was just a better place when Sam Fisher was lurking in the shadows. But don’t worry, Sam is back! What’s that you ask? Is there a new Splinter Cell?...
Recently, there was a rumor that a classic Fire Emblem game might be remade soon for the Nintendo Switch. I’m fully aware that Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade—Or FE7—is not the most popular installment in the series. While it doesn’t sit at the bottom of the barrel amongst Fire Emblem games, it most certainly doesn’t sit at the top either. However, after reading through a fair number of complaints that people have, I’m confident that The Blazing Blade should be more highly regarded than it is....

Fans of the game are already clamoring for more Immortals Fenyx Rising content, and it looks like the popular and successful studio Ubisoft is about to fulfill the wishes of the masses. The DLCs are going to be released in just a couple of weeks, and right now there are a couple of things that are already known about the game’s post-launch contents....
Call of Duty: Warzone is hugely popular and as a result, there are significant expectations that surround the title. The team behind the game, Infinity Ward, have given Warzone plenty of updates to keep it fresh and entertaining. However, updates can also bring bugs and glitches and Warzone has had a number of them in the last couple of months. The most recent oddity to appear in the game is an incredibly powerful attachment on the FR 5....
In Saints Row 4, you play the leader of the Saints and the President of the United States, and are tasked with fighting off aliens using a mixture of superpowers and futuristic weaponry. The Saints Row series has made a habit of trying to outdo itself in terms of ridiculousness, and apparently after introducing a certain purple sex toy that can be used as a weapon in Saints Row 3, Volition decided that aliens and superheroes were the next logical step....
According to a detailed and lengthy report from Kotaku’s Jason Schreier, unnamed sources connected to BioWare have revealed that depression and anxiety was commonplace within the studio during Anthem’s development. The game, which released on February 22, has seen no end of criticism thrown BioWare and EA’s way. Its Metacritic score of 55, the lowest since the company was formed in 1995, hardly leaves doubt that there’s lots of room for improvement....
Video game movie adaptations have a bit of a rocky reputation. Recent hits like Detective Pikachu, Mortal Kombat, and Sonic the Hedgehog have turned the tide a little bit, but whenever you hear that your favourite game is being turned into a movie, there’s always a sense of dread mixed in with the excitement. Will they do it right, will they cast the right person, will they understand the game? Binge, a new streaming platform launching in 2022, is hoping to say ‘Yes’ to all of the above....
