This review contains spoilers. 1.8 Betrayal Before anything else, the feet have to be right. Whether you’re performing a dance move or throwing a jab, everything springs from the feet. In this finale, His Dark Materials was able to pull off balletic pirouettes and land every punch, all because, months ago, it put itself in a solid stance by casting the remarkable Dafne Keen. Keen is remarkable. She has been throughout, but she’s especially so in this finale....

Someone has managed to complete Hitman 3’s opening Dubai mission in an incredible eight seconds. After the usual dry spell between the last of the holiday releases and the first big game of the new year, Hitman 3 arrived last week to freshen up our game libraries. The final game in IO Interactive’s trilogy has been a big hit with many who have played it so far despite the issues with IO’s servers on release day....

At the very least, Horizon Forbidden West fans have known since the game’s announcement that San Francisco would be a part of its overall setting. The Forbidden West announcement trailer displays two very famous elements of the city: the Ferry Building, and the Golden Gate Bridge, or at least the remains of the landmark Thanks to the September 2020 issue of Offical PlayStation magazine, however, gamers now definitively know every region in Horizon Forbidden West....

As gaming has become increasingly corporate-focused, with massively increasing budgets and higher stakes for every endeavor, the reaction of publishers has been mixed. Some, like Devolver Digital, have responded with diversification to fend off any loses, but the number of such developers is dwindling. The more common response is frustratingly cynical: hide from new IPs, market to the largest crowds possible, and input the least amount of effort for the most gain....

The historic Hotel Figueroa accidentally advertises downtown Los Angeles with a screenshot of Los Santos from Grand Theft Auto 5 on the hotel’s website. The Hotel Figueroa in downtown Los Angeles has paid an unintended compliment to Rockstar Games. Recently, the hotel’s website posted of picture of what they thought was a picture of downtown Los Angeles, but the photo of the city skyline in question was actually a screenshot of downtown Los Santos, the setting of Grand Theft Auto 5....

This Beckett article contains spoilers. You could be forgiven, going into the new Netflix thriller, Beckett, for expecting a vibe not dissimilar to John David Washington’s last big movie, Tenet. Like Tenet, Beckett is a conspiracy thriller about someone who finds themselves out of their depth, with chase scenes and gunplay aplenty, and Netflix probably doesn’t mind you making those associations when you’re choosing what to watch. But while Tenet was a film that very much harked back to classic Bond movies, Beckett’s inspirations are quite a bit older....

A successful kart game needs history to pull from to be successful, and Crash Team Racing has that in excess. This past weekend, we finally got our hands on Activision’s remake of Crash Team Racing. 20 years after the original was released on the original PlayStation, the minds behind the Crash N.Sane Trilogy have followed up with Crash Team Racing: Nitro-Fueled. Not only is the game a remaster of the CTR we all know and love, but it also includes tracks and characters from the follow-up games of Crash Nitro Kart and Crash Tag Team Racing....

The following contains Legends of Tomorrow spoilers Legends of Tomorrow Season 6 Episode 15 Legends of Tomorrow season 6 has certainly been a mixed bag. The overarching framework of displaced aliens spread through time never really clicked in the same way that many of the series’ other ridiculous setups did. (I mean, c’mon, they made magical creatures work last year, what the heck happened?) The problems were multiple: Sara was separated from the group for half of the season, the show struggled to really integrate new character Spooner into the team until the season’s final pair of episodes, and entirely too much time has been dedicated to finding a reason to write off Matt Ryan’s Constantine....

Final Fantasy 7 Remake is by no means an easy game on either normal or classic difficulty, but there are always those players that are looking for more of a challenge. For hardcore gamers that want to get more replayability out of the game, they should turn to the game’s hard mode. Final Fantasy 7 Remake does feature a hard mode, but it must first be unlocked before being accessed, and even then it is more than just a standard difficulty increase....

I started writing a piece this evening about how The Game Awards don’t quite do it for me - no awards ceremony ever has. To be honest, I couldn’t really give a shit about these types of events. The Oscars? I’ll look up who won the following morning and maybe feign interest for a few seconds. The Grammys? Nah. The Game Awards? Same deal - I’ll watch it for the trailers, but I’m not too fussed about who wins what....

It’s annoyingly appropriate that GLOW, despite its earlier renewal by Netflix, has had its fourth season cancelled due to production delays from COVID-19. Loosely based on the real-life 1980s female wrestling promotion, these Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling were always scraping by and struggling to keep their silly little all-women wrestling show alive. But it was that tenacious attitude that made GLOW so endearing, always packing a surprising emotional wallop within its funny digestible half-hour episode seasons....

Next-gen consoles and upgraded hardware are dominating the conversation in gaming, but that doesn’t mean that current generation tech is done just yet. For example, the remastered version of Indigo Prophecy—or Fahrenheit if you played it in Europe—is getting a physical release for PS4. Indigo Prophecy was revolutionary for its time. It wouldn’t be a stretch to call it the Death Stranding of 2005, delivering unique mechanics and a captivating narrative....

Information about an upcoming Mega Bloks set could be hinting at a future story event in Destiny 2 featuring an invasion of the Last City’s Tower by the Cabal. Any concrete news or leaks of Destiny 2 have been relatively scarce. Despite some concept art that proved to be a rejected pitch for Destiny’s sequel, there is not much to go on about what might happen in the game’s narrative. But it’s possible that Mega Bloks, who has created other Destiny sets in the past, may have spilled the beans just a bit about what will be coming in Destiny 2....

This is a guest post from Jacqueline Carey, author of the Kushiel’s Legacy series. Tor Books is releasing reissues of the epic fantasy series this summer. Kushiel’s Dart and Kushiel’s Chosen are already out, with the reissue or Kushiel’s Avatar set to drop on August 25th. “Is this a kissing book?” Everyone who’s seen The Princess Bride, which includes pretty much everyone I know, recognizes that line, uttered by a young Fred Savage to his grandpa, the ever-charming Peter Falk, who’s come to read a story to his grandson....

On the one hand, it feels like we are all clamoring for Mario Kart 9 and GTA 6. The sales figures of GTA 5 and Mario Kart 8 tell a very different story. The continued advancement of technology has severely shortened the attention span of consumers. As soon as we have our hands on a new piece of tech, we look up at its creators and ask “what’s next?”. That is no different in the video game world....
