The Invincible Preview At Least The Planet Isn T Named Hell 5

I’ve held some grudge against Stanislaw Lem’s The Invincible since reading it as a teen. It’s one of those Hatfields vs. McCoys deals: I barely remember the reason why. So imagine how I felt when I discovered that the demo of the game I was to preview was based on that book. Maybe it having the same name as the book would have clued me in if could remember more than two things (three if you count the grudge) about it!...

The Last Of Us Part 2 Walkthrough Collectibles And Items Locations Guide

The Last of Us Part 2 is the long-awaited sequel to the PS3 post-apocalyptic adventure from Naughty Dog, and one of the last hurrahs for the PS4 - releasing months before the arrival of the PS5 later in 2020. At first, Part 2 feels more of the same - tasking players with fighting their way past the infected with bottles, bricks and what few rounds of ammo they can get their hands on, in a story which follows Joel and Ellie several years after the events of the last game....

The Latest Star Wars Novel Makes A Final Fantasy 10 Sport Canon

If you’re watching the new Obi-Wan Kenobi series and want yet more backstory, it sounds like you could do a lot worse than read this month’s latest Star Wars novel, Brotherhood. Brotherhood takes place during the Clone Wars, and stars both Anakin Skywalker and Kenobi off on another adventure. But it’s the novel’s cameos which have sparked some extra attention - seeing as they acknowlege a couple of well-known video games (thanks, GamesRadar)....

The Legend Of Zelda Link S Awakening Hands On With The Remake

The Nintendo Switch was such a good idea. Not only is it a home/handheld hybrid console great for couch co-op as well as your morning commute, but it’s also the perfect platform on which to re-release classic games because of said functionality. From Skyrim and Castlevania to The Witcher 3 and Resident Evil, the Switch has become the go-to place to showcase a new way to play familiar titles. Interestingly enough, Nintendo has been a little shy about using the platform to re-release its own legendary lineup of classics....

The Other Princess 25 Things About The Anastasia Movie That Make No Sense

After Don Bluth left Disney and set off to work doing his own animation, one of the movies he made was a retelling of the story of Russia’s last imperial family. Anastasia came out in 1997 and was a pretty good success in the box office. Part of this may have been because the studio wanted a typical princess movie. While widely different from the historical figure she’s based on, Bluth’s Anya makes a journey to discover herself....

The Voices Review

I’m still not sure what to make of The Voices, an oddity starring Ryan Reynolds and directed by Marjane Satrapi, the Iranian graphic novelist turned director after the animated Persepolis and live-action Chicken with Plums. I’m not certain what she and screenwriter Michael R. Perry were going for with this tale, which veers all over the map between comedy, romance, satire, and quite gruesome horror with varying degrees of success and failure....

It’s no longer Halloween season, but that clearly hasn’t stopped Mojang.
