While 2006’s The Illusionist performed admirably at the box office, it has always been slightly overshadowed by Christopher Nolan‘s superficially-similar The Prestigethat came out the same year. However, unlike The Prestige,The Illusionistisn’t as interested in (or as good at, for that matter) explaining its magic tricks as it is exploring its theme: Illusionism as metaphor for film and for the (perhaps wishfully so) superficiality of socioeconomic structures. Starring Edward Norton as the mysterious magician Eisenheim, a man who uses his powers of illusion to save Sophie (Jessica Biel), the woman he loves, from the clutches of the evil Crown Prince Leopold (Rufus Sewell)....

Nintendo’s Shigeru Miyamoto has told investors that the large team working on The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild means the title must sell at least two million copies worldwide to recoup development costs. “Breath of the Wild has over 100 staff, and over 300 people in the credits, spending over 5 years. Our current efforts will be helpful in the next production,” Miyamoto is reported to have said during the firm’s investor Q&A (translated by Twitter user Cheesemeister3k)....

I’ve been sucked into Vampire Survivors like a stream of blood pouring into a fanged mouth. I’ve done well in the game and I’ve done badly, and what I’ve come to realise is that every time, I’m playing for one moment. One moment which entirely changes the course of the game: power evolution. I hope you read that in a dramatic voice. If you’ve lasted into the late teens (minutes), you’ll know what I mean....

Want to know how to do the 100 baby challenge in The Sims 4? This interesting objective isn’t for the faint at heart, as it requires a lot of hard work to complete. Here is everything you need to know. The 100 Baby Challenge is exactly what it sounds like—a challenge that pushes you to have 100 babies in The Sims 4. Seriously. While many challenges in The Sims 4 community also tend to have some sort of story element attached to them, the 100 Baby Challenge is far more plain and simple....

Since the first player entered the early release of Subnautica, it was clear that the game was going to be a huge success. This underwater survival game pits man against the sea in an epic battle to make it through an alien world alone. Building a complex watercraft, finding materials and supplies, and avoiding dangerous sea life all make this a non-stop underwater thrill. One thing many fans felt was missing, though, was a co-op multiplayer mode....

The Tax Collector, despite its title, is not a Hallmark channel drama about a lovelorn IRS agent, which the just-released trailer makes abundantly clear. Indeed, the film, an intense crime drama from Suicide Squad director David Ayer, is a Southern California-set tragedy with quite the ace in its hole with a maniacally unhinged performance by Shia LaBeouf. Ayer, best known for the aforementioned DCEU outing, along with Will-Smith-starring (and sequel-set) Netflix feature Bright and Brad Pitt-headlined WWII epic Fury, makes a thematic reprisal of sorts with written/directorial offering The Tax Collector, which returns him to the wheelhouse of his earlier urban-action efforts like Street Kings, End of the Watch and Sabotage....

For those exploring The Witcher universe through the Netflix show, there are a lot of unfamiliar terms thrown around, from various factions and realms to terms like the Law of Surprise. While the show does a fair job of explaining these elements throughout season 1, there’s one term it throws around towards the end of the first season that gets hardly any explanation at all. The White Flame is a term audiences will have heard from characters such as Fringilla, Nilgaard’s sorceress, and it’s army’s commander, Cahir....

Tribal decks are some of the most popular to build within Magic: The Gathering’s Commander format. Flavorful and synergistic, tribal decks provide an overall theme to a given strategy. Every tribe comes along with its own strengths, weaknesses, and identity that one can expect to see when playing against a deck of a given tribe. There are plenty of factors that go into what makes something powerful in Commander, so today we’re going to delve into the strongest tribes the Commander format has to offer!...

There is an ongoing argument in my household about who the best dog in comics is. And before you ask, yes the debate predates the arrival of our toddler. This is an important question. Anyway, we have at various times taken several positions. Sometimes it was Pizza Dog from Hawkeye. One time it was Ace the Bat-hound (it was right when the first post-Rebirth Batmanannual hit). Thori and Cosmo from Guardians of the Galaxy are non-starters even though I love them dearly (they’re more like people than dogs)....

He’s lean, he’s green, and he’s a fighting machine! Well, most of the time. Of course, we’re talking about Beast Boy, our favorite green shapeshifter. He was probably the biggest source of comic relief in the Teen Titans animated series, and he’s always a fun character to watch. What I admire the most about Beast Boy is his ability to keep smiling even through the hard times. This kid has not had an easy life, and he’s seen his fair share of pain and sorrows, but he keeps smiling through it all and brushes it off with a joke....

The PC Gaming Show focused on… you guessed it, PC games! The two-hour show was packed with trailers for upcoming games. Rather than list everything shown, I’ve curated a list of personal highlights.

He now works for Blizzard Entertainment to guide the development of Diablo....

Walking into The Darkest Minds, one does not expect to see a time travel movie. But that’s exactly what it is: a vehicle back to a time just a few years ago (circa 2009 to 2015) when movies about teens or young adults becoming revolutionary leaders against oppressive adult regimes in post-war/post-plague/post-collapse dystopias (i.e. The Hunger Games and its many knockoffs) were almost automatically assured of Number One debuts at the box office on a regular basis....

Tom Clancy’s The Division 2 is about to get a whole load of new content, a new specialization, and a bunch of major fixes. But one thing that isn’t coming out just yet is the second raid.

As for the raid, everyone will have to wait until 2020 for that....

With so many simultaneous productions, the question arises as to whether any of Howard’s projects could be affected by the Indiana Jones game announced yesterday. Bethesda Marketing Director Pete Hines denied such a fear. On Twitter, he stressed that Starfield and The Elder Scrolls 6 will not be affected by the announcement of the Indiana Jones game. “Todd is currently EP on many [Bethesda Game Studios] and other projects, such as the Fallout TV show....
