Section 20 is back once again for Strike Back: Revolution, which can only mean more gunfights, car chases, one-liners and needless property destruction.

This season (billed as Strike Back season 6 in the U.S. and season 7 in the U.K.), which is now airing on Cinemax, opens with Mac (Warren Brown), Wyatt (Daniel MacPherson) and Gracie (Alin Sumarwata) being reactivated to chase down a stolen nuclear warhead....

Having just released the final entry in the recent Sam & Max adventure series, The Devil’s Playhouse, you’d think that TellTale Games would put their feet up and take a well-deserved break.

Revealed earlier this year, not much is yet known of the Back to the Future game’s final plot....

The Terminator franchise was never about John Connor. Not really. Beneath all the guns and cyborg skulls, and even beyond the original two movies’ unending chases, they were about Sarah Connor, the young woman who discovered she was sci-fi Mother Mary. Her son was just the MacGuffin, and then the T-800’s playmate in the sequel. To its credit, Terminator: Dark Fate gets that. It even calls her Mother Mary, but, you know, with a shotgun....

In 2015, Supermassive Games released Until Dawn, which defied the odds after a rough development cycle and became a surprise hit for the PS4. Despite this, Supermassive hasn’t really returned to the Until Dawn-style of gameplay since, instead focusing on virtual reality projects and a PlayLink game. The Dark Pictures: Man of Medan, the first in a planned horror anthology series from Supermassive, plays like a successor to Until Dawn, and is certainly one of the better games from the studio....

This The Good Place review contains spoilers. The Good Place Season 3 Episode 8 I remember reading a book that had a big impact on me in middle school. Granted, it wasn’t a big enough impact for me to actually remember the damn thing’s name.
