The Game Awards held its annual bash last night in the US, once again hosted by Geoff Keighley, with this marking his fifth year. You may remember they used to be called the Spike Video Game Awards, and at best were pretty cringey. Not so much anymore, fortunately. This year’s event was pretty decent; we even got Phil Spencer, Shawn Layden, and Reggie Fils-Aime on stage together saying lovely things about the games industry....

There’s obviously a great deal to unpack here, and even more to analyze, so strap in for one wild ride through the dichotomy of two important video game franchises as we see what exactly separates the so-called newbie from its now exceedingly money-hungry competitor....

This article consists of nothing but The Punisher Season 2 spoilers. While the Netflix arm of the Marvel Cinematic Universe has always been happy to take some liberties with their respective area of the shared continuity, The Punisher Season 2 really seems to take that idea and run with it. Not only does it refrain from making any direct references to any major shared moments in either the main MCU or the Netflix corner of the universe (no Infinity War aftermath to be found here folks, as if that were a surprise) it also keeps a healthy distance from a good deal of its comics history....

As any action fanatic will tell you, Die Hard is among the best films of its type ever made. Tautly directed by John McTiernan, deceptively well shot by cinematographer Jan de Bont, and full of charismatic turns from Bruce Willis, Alan Rickman, and Bonnie Bedelia, it’s seldom been bettered, even by its sequels. The key to the first film’s success, and the sequels in their best moments, is hero John McClane....

Whether it be the joy of seeing them end up together, the ups and downs of a relationship, or a heartbreak....

Hockey is one of those sports that can be difficult to nail when it comes to a video game setting. There is always so much going on that it can be easy to get something wrong, and that could be the one thing that throws the entire game out of whack. Of course, things could go in the opposite direction. The developers could master the elements of their engine and produce something truly spectacular....
