The Vision (Paul Bettany) is not as he should be, not since the Mind Stone — the Infinity Gem that served as his battery, his consciousness, his intellect — was ripped right out of his head by Thanos himself. That was way back in Avengers: Infinity War, a film that already felt light-years in the…

Without dating myself too accurately, I’ve been playing video games of all kinds for several decades, and in my younger days, I enjoyed anything and everything that used a flightstick (or flight stick, if you prefer). I’m talking about old-school games like much older versions of “Microsoft Flight Simulator,” but also titles like “Star Wars:…

An unnecessary, but largely effective, remake for one of the finest video games ever created.

When the Castlevania DLC for Dead Cells dropped in 2023, many wondered if developer Motion Twin could eventually be given free rein enough to develop a full, standalone Castlevania title.

Valor Mortis from developer One More Level is a bold departure for the studio and genre as a whole. 

Some might think that Zoe Kazan’s decision to adapt East of Eden was a reckless one. The actress, screenwriter, and director is none other than the granddaughter of Elia Kazan, who in 1955 had brought the adaptation of John Steinbeck’s novel to the big screen. A film that went down in history also for the…

Tenchu: Wrath of Heaven is a solid stealth-action game that got overlooked because of Metal Gear Solid mania at the time. It was hard to compete with Kojima’s cinematics and stylish presentation, leaving perfectly fine stealth titles in the dust. As amazing as MGS 2 and 3 are, they weren’t as mechanically technical as some…
