If you were a Pokemon fan back in the 1990s, you probably have a fair few old Pokemon Trading Card Game cards stashed somewhere in the back of your closet. We all had a few Caterpies and Rattattas lying around from this trend, and if you managed to collect a coveted card like a holographic Charizard, you were the talk of the school playground and truly got lucky. New Pokemon cards are still being produced to this day, making many of the oldest Pokemon cards even harder to find....

Fire Emblem: Three Houses is the first home console release for the series since Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance – a direct sequel to Radiant Dawn on the GameCube – in 2007. A sister series to the developer Intelligent Systems’ Famicom/Advance Wars series, Fire Emblem was considered something of a niche title amongst RPG fans. It wasn’t until Fire Emblem: Awakening on the Nintendo 3DS that the series finally hit its stride with mainstream gamers in 2012....

This post contains heavy spoilers for THE BOYS “Herogasm” If an hour of television ever deserved a “don’t try this at home” warning, it is “Herogasm,” the sixth episode of The Boys season three. The episode brings the titular characters to an annual superhero orgy, in which Supes use their abilities to pursue all manner of unusual sexual activity. But some things simply cannot be done, even if you have the amazing abilities of characters in the show....

Capcom can boast having some of 2021’s hottest gaming properties with the recently released Monster Hunter Rise and the promising Resident Evil Village, nevertheless, the company is shutting down one of its sales avenues as the American Capcom Store will cease operational activities on May 1.

Do you remember the first time as a child you got frightened by a nightmare? Or maybe the hundredth? It’s a common experience for most humans, just as it is for the parents who have to calm them down. Which is one of the many reasons you’re left to wonder if the characters in The Curse of La Llorona are in fact that… human? They may look like you and I, and they might be played by members of the homo genus class, but don’t let looks deceive you....

The entire film industry has been impacted by the coronavirus pandemic, with a myriad of films and television shows being delayed as a result. Now it appears that this extends to the entirety of the CW television network, which has announced a major delay for its fall 2020 season of premieres. So far, television shows haven’t had it quite as rough as films, as the shuttering of movie theaters has put all but a few direct to streaming movies on hold....

The Sopranos was the premier gangster series and it changed television. The HBO show drew from David Chase’s memories, expertise, and love of mob movies of the past. The Many Saints of Newark has all those things, but it won’t just be a big screen version of the influential small-screen hit. It will be a fully formed gangster movie. During an interview on Late Night with Seth Meyers, Jon Bernthal, who plays Tony’s father Giovanni “Johnny Boy” Soprano in The Many Saints of Newark, admitted he hasn’t yet seen the film, and couldn’t give too much away even if he wasn’t upholding the tradition of omerta....

Marketing is a fickle practice at the best of times. One can never be sure what an audience will respond to, and must attempt to read the feelings of an entire culture. There are certain marketing strategies that have been proven to work. Bright colours, genuine comedy, eye candy and absurdity all leave lasting impacts on a viewer, even if they don’t consciously realize it. If you remember an ad, it’s a successful ad....

Jill Valentine is starring in the remake of Resident Evil 3, and the model who provides Jill’s new face would love to return for future entries in the series.

This Star Trek: Discovery review contains spoilers for Season 3, Episode 8. Star Trek: Discovery Season 3, Episode 9 The Mirror Universe works best when we know the characters and world it warps well. The fascinations of visiting the Mirror Universe often come in observing the characters (and actors) we know and love exhibit wildly different behavior (and looks)—for example, the franchise’s original visit to the Mirror Universe came in Season 2 of The Original Series, only after we had properly gotten use to a Spock without facial hair....

Well, there are a few things it makes pretty clear that will give you an idea of what the final product will possibly be like....

There is no shortage of behind-the-scenes stories about the making of the Star Wars Sequel Trilogy. Plenty has been written about how it was J.J. Abrams and Michael Arndt’s idea to excise Luke Skywalker almost completely from The Force Awakens, ditching the notes and outlines George Lucas had handed over to Disney during the Lucasfilm deal. And how Rian Johnson returned to some of Lucas’ original Sequel Trilogy ideas for The Last Jedi, especially when it came to Luke training a new generation of Jedi....

For example, one player turned a flock of sheep into a screen to play Doom in the game. Of course, many creations in Minecraft are smaller in scale. It’s often used to create smaller versions of other games, or entirely new games. Sometimes the things made in Minecraft stem entirely from a player’s imagination....
