That’s right, friends, the official Minecraft site may have beaten us to the snarky “blockbuster” puns, but it’s true: we’re actually living in a world where a live-action Minecraft movie is a thing that’s happening. If you’ve broken out in a cold sweat just reading those words, we can totally empathize. As all gamers know, video game adaptions of movies or other licensed titles don’t tend to end well. The world will never forgive or forget Superman 64, for instance....

This The Outsider feature contains spoilers for the finale. In the end, The Outsider’s slow burn appears to have been worth it. HBO’s Stephen King adaptation has always been a good, well-crafted show. But few would argue that its nine episodes leading up to this finale have been chock full of adrenaline-pounding moments That all changes in this final hour. “Must/Can’t” is the thrilling and kinetic finale that a story so patient and beautifully-made deserves....

This The Simpsons review contains spoilers. The Simpsons Season 31 Episode 15 The Simpsons season 31, episode 15, “Screenless,” gives up is Wi-Fi to gain the series’ soul.

It takes children to smaller places where they can only get in virtual trouble and Robocalls keep you near a device with a reminder every 18 minutes....

The movie adaptation of Sleeping Dogs is still very much alive and kicking, Donnie Yen has confirmed. The Star Wars: Rogue One actor took to Instagram over the weekend, where he posted a shot of him apparently mimicking Sleeping Dogs protagonist, Wei Shen, alongside the caption ‘Sleeping Dogs is motion, you guys ready for this?’ News on the martial arts-flavoured flick has been thin on the ground since the announcement of Yen’s casting last year, leading many to believe the project had been shelved....

Video games as a platform offer something that most other mediums cannot. When you watch a film, you are the observer of the events happening. This is also the case for most books (yeah, I see you Goosebumps with your select-a-journey). However, when it comes to video games like The Suicide of Rachel Foster, it becomes much more important for you to be in the quasi-driver’s seat due to the nature of the experience....

It’s not easy to imitate what FromSoftware has done with their games. The tight pacing, tense fights, and careful progression they offer have made them some of the most beloved games of this millennia. The Surge 2 once again sees Deck13 trying their best to deliver their take on the Souls-like formula. It’s a fairly big game with a wide variety of gear and locations, plus a lot of ways to tweak your build for the dangers you face....

This Walking Dead article comes from Den of Geek UK. Before you saw the girl, you saw the sword on her back and the gun in her hand. Even before that, you’d witnessed what she was capable of. Five clean headshots felling five snapping zombies, creating an escape route for a group of overwhelmed strangers. “Come on, this way,” she shouts. “It’s clear.” They run towards the sound of her voice and are saved....

The video showcases Gears 5, The Outer Worlds, Devil May Cry 5, and then The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt at the very end....

Developer Supermassive Games filed a trademark for a game called The Quarry late last month. Details beyond that were sparse, and it was unclear how long we’d have to wait to find out more. Thanks to a countdown posted on 2K’s website, we now know that an official reveal for The Quarry is less than 24 hours away. The reveal will take place on Thursday, March 17 at 12 PM ET....

This reviewer doesn’t know if androids dream of electric sheep; however, Dean Winchester dreams of being locked in a forever cage in the depths of the ocean. The claustrophobia of that opening scene alone was enough to give me the willies. It also puts a dab of extra terror into Dean’s plan to put Michael — and himself — in an undersea death trap. It’s also very fitting in this episode of Supernatural that drowning is a bit of a theme in the case the Winchesters investigate — one of the victims was even drowned in salt water....

However, this time the story dovetails with that of Dana Roze, a 17 year old trainee pianist at the start of the Second World War. You’ll control both characters across both 1937 and 2004 as both women unveil a mysterious plot in “traditional Syberia fashion....

There’s a problem at Nightdive Studios with their System Shock reboot, a problem that happens a lot when a company raises large amounts of cash on Kickstarter, it’s feature creep. In June of 2016 Nightdive raised over 1.3 million for what should have been a reasonably straightforward project, a remaster of the original System Shock. The development team appears to have got carried away with their ambitions and the first sign of something possibly about to go wrong was a change to the game engine from Unity to Unreal....

This is one of the reasons that the console has created a legacy as one of the best of all time....
