It’s official: With powerful new tools like the Unreal Engine and other advanced game engines, AAA video-game titles have officially crossed the uncanny valley. They look and feel more real than ever. But at what cost? To one of the industry’s most respected OG developers, it means less AAA games to play, more out-of-control budgets […]
This writer would rather not admit how many video game systems he’s seen get sunset over the years — and years — but it’s pretty easy to admit that none of the ones I’ve seen go have been as weird as the Nintendo Wii U. (Well, maybe the Nintendo Virtual Boy.) Nintendo, for all of […]
This should’ve been such an easy slam dunk for Disney and Gameloft. A kart racer in the same vein as Mario Kart, but with iconic Nintendo characters swapped out for Disney characters? That game should’ve printed money. Alas, “Disney Speedstorm” opted to go the free-to-play route and that has opened up a can of worms […]
One of the best parts of being in a nerdy fandom when a highly anticipated movie is announced comes from the collective sense of eagerness and anticipation building up. “Joker: Folie à Deux,” the 2024 follow-up to the smash-hit 2019 movie “Joker,” is one such movie, and it didn’t take fans very long to pick […]
Spider-Man is one of the most popular superheroes in the world, across any franchise. In fact, by some metrics (like total comic book sales) skinny, little Peter Parker can stand toe-to-toe with the Batmans and the Supermans of the world when it comes to overall popularity, if not outright beat them.

A rare item sold at an auction has revealed that Superman — and potentially comic book history — could have turned out drastically different. And that’s not some multiversal nonsense. Heritage Auctions sold a number of legendary Superman memorabilia on Thursday, and they included some genuine whoppers. The crown jewel of the auction is the […]
There are two titanic pillars of the video game industry currently, and you’ve likely heard of at least one of them. “Fortnite,” a battle royale shooter, is effectively the most popular game in the world and it’s not close. The game periodically partners up with massive pop icon entities, and carries enough cultural heft to […]
As crazy as it is to think about in 2024, there was a period of time where superhero movies weren’t a dime a dozen. And while superhero movies are becoming increasingly risky ventures these days, it still clearly doesn’t take much to get any comic book movie greenlit these days. That wasn’t really the case in […]
It’s looking like the Russian government is about to develop its very own video game console. Yes, you heard that right — Russian President Vladimir Putin gave the command himself. According to a March 27 report from RT, a Russian-owned news source, Putin gave the Russian government’s Cabinet of Ministers a June deadline to consider […]
For many of President Ronald Reagan’s biggest fans, it’s likely no surprise that the upcoming “Reagan” biopic — the first-ever feature length film about the beloved Republican president — has been stuck in development for well over a decade. You don’t see too many films that paint conservative politicians in a positive light, let alone […]
