For a super hero who speaks few words and throws many punches, Hulk was a delightful addition to the Marvel world. For my part at least, I rarely read comic books in order to know about the day-to-day minutiae of my favorite character’s secret identity. I always cared more about the action and the adventure, which typically occurred more often when my heroes were transformed into heroes. Or in the Hulk’s case, when my hero was transformed into a monster....

The Batman introduces a new, grittier take on the Dark Knight, one who definitely doesn’t mind beating criminals to a pulp. In the trailers released thus far, we’ve watched as Robert Pattinson hands out all manner of savage punishments, from turning a gang leader’s face into mush to electrocuting henchmen and knocking them out with their own guns. There’s no telling just how far he’ll go to deliver his brand of justice....

The right tools, or in this case weapons, make completing a task so much easier. Watch Dogs: Legion handles weapon acquisition a little differently than other similar games. Weapons cannot be picked up from fallen enemies in Watch Dogs: Legion, as they are primarily acquired via recruiting new people. Some weapons are switchable, but usually only of the same type – like switching one submachine gun for a different submachine gun (if it has been unlocked)....

ITVX is the new name for ITV Hub, and with that name change, we get a whole new batch of streaming content. The Confessions of Frannie Langton, an adaptation of Sara Collins’ 2019 novel of the same name, tells the tragic story of a former slave who is sent from Jamaica to London and ends up working for a wealthy couple, where she falls in love with her mistress. Set in Georgian London, the show is a beautiful, painful and queer story....

On the heels of the game changing update 1.4 for Tom Clancy’s The Division, Ubisoft details and reveals first gameplay for the next major expansion known as Survival. It’s been an interesting year for Tom Clancy’s The Division, which rocketed out of the gates to massive sales numbers, only for the game to become overhwelmed by issues after the launch of its first expansion in the summer. Surprisingly, Massive Entertainment took a step back to take the game back to the drawing board by fixing issues, gameplay mechanics, and generally improving the experience for players....

The developers at Ubisoft Massive assure fans a patch is in the works to fix problems from the implementation of Update 1.3 in Tom Clancy’s The Division. According to a State of the Game post for Tom Clancy’s The Division, Ubisoft Massive is currently in the process of putting together a new client patch that will eliminate a lot of the problems reported by players that came about with the third-person shooter’s Update 1....

This The Flash review contains spoilers. The Flash Season 4 Episode 21 To quote the formerly brilliant Harry Wells, “This was a colossal waste of time.” Right after I spent last week talking up how solid the second half of this season has been, The Flash drops “Harry and the Harrisons” on us, perhaps the single greatest argument for condensing the episode orders of, not just The Flash, but the entire Arrowverse....

There will always be King Arthur movies, just like there will always be big screen riffs on Robin Hood. Characters with such mythic pedigree—and so readily available in the public domain—make this almost a given. Nevertheless, the King Arthur movies of the last few decades have left something to be desired, no? Whether it’s Antoine Fuqua and Disney’s questionable choice to produce a King Arthur movie without any of the actual magic or fantasy that made those legends enduring, or Guy Ritchie’s bizarre attempt to turn Arthurian archetypes into another boys-will-be-boys gangster movie—but now with medieval chainmail!...

Warning: contains The Handmaid’s Tale spoilers. It’s going to take June Osborne some time to get Gilead out of her system. Season four of The Handmaid’s Tale may have finally brought her to Canada, but the years of abuse and violence she’s suffered, not to mention her forcible separation from her daughters Hannah and Nichole, have taken a deep toll. The season four finale showed June let down by international law and forced to seek vigilante justice for the pain caused to her by Commander Fred Waterford....

Snaktooth Island is a wonderous place, filled with friendly faces, colorful environments, delicious treats, and…imminent danger? Between conflicts among the grumps and the mysterious Snaxsquatch sightings, perhaps Snaxburg isn’t as fun and carefree as it first appears to be. The world of Bugsnax is a curious one, uncovering increasingly puzzling clues as the player makes their way through the game. With all the twists and turns Lizbert and Eggabell’s tale takes the player on, it can be easy to miss a few hidden gems here and there....

This article comes from Den of Geek UK. The relationship between humans and cats over time has given way to a number of cultural impressions and outright superstitions. Ancient Egyptians associated them with gods. In the Middle Ages, they were linked with witches and killed en masse, which probably hastened the spread of the Black Plague through the rodent population. And in the modern day, it’s interchangeably lucky or not if a black cat crosses your path....

This article contains existential spoilers At the time of writing, the internet at large is still arguing about whether Harry Styles spit on Chris Pine at the premiere of the pair’s beleaguered new thriller, Don’t Worry Darling. It’s only the latest juicy (but in this instance probably not that delicious) slice of drama from the film’s production and subsequent review-panning debut, which has included the kind of intriguing nonsense that expensive PR bods spend considerable time micromanaging on big budget projects so it never sees the light of day, but because Don’t Worry Darling has a much, much lower budget than, say, last year’s Eternals, which also (briefly) starred Styles, the wheels have basically completely come off now, with a new tidbit emerging from the cast and crew on average every few hours....

Joel is one of the main protagonists in The Last Of Us and players already know a lot about him. However, there is so much more to Joel besides smuggling, fighting, and surviving. In The Last Of Us 2, Joel remains a character who is a driving force of the game’s plot. He has a rough past and a deep personality. Players control him through the post-apocalyptic United States. They watch him persevere through monstrous creatures and mysteries, all while protecting those he loves around him....

The moment Matrix fans have been waiting for has finally arrived. The next chapter of Neo, Trinity, and Morpheus’ story is almost here and Warner Bros. has a trailer to prove it. It’s an action-packed first look at Resurrections, a sequel that seems to take the franchise in new directions, and introduces quite a few new mysteries to the already complex lore of The Matrix, all accompanied by Jefferson Airplane’s “White Rabbit....

The Medium is finally out and fans are exploring their way through the creepy, supernatural world Bloober Team has created. Early sales figures for the game have been very impressive, as The Medium has already recouped development cost after less than a week. Unfortunately, The Medium’s release has not been the absolute smoothest experience, especially on PC. According to reports from DSOGaming, the most recent PC patch for The Medium has seemingly made the game run much worse than before, with CPUs and GPUs being under-utilized in the current build....

The next major exclusive release for the Xbox platform and one of the biggest game releases of 2021 yet will be The Medium. The third-person horror game officially launches January 28 on Xbox Series X/S as a next-gen console exclusive. But while The Medium’s console release has been a major focus due to its exclusivity, it’s also a highly anticipated PC release. With that in mind, developer Bloober Team is now ready to share The Medium’s PC specifications with everyone....

Like many aspiring screenwriters in the 1990s, Hannibal creator Bryan Fuller eventually became aware of Star Trek’s remarkable open submission policy and pursued an opportunity to write for the popular franchise, but after seeing the way things played out in the writer’s rooms on both of Trek’s beloved series at the time, Deep Space Nine and Voyager, things didn’t go quite the way he’d hoped. “I got wind of the open submission policy at Star Trek, which was to encourage writers to bring in ideas because it was syndicated and nothing had to connect, so there were a lot of standalone episodes and they were searching for people outside of their writing departments,” he told Post Mortem with Mick Garris....

This Star Trek: Discovery review contains spoilers. Star Trek: Discovery Episode 5 If you want to measure someone’s interest in Star Trek: Discovery, “Choose Your Pain” is a good place to start. For me, this was the least successful episode yet, taking us away from a starship and crew we’ve just begun to meet in favor of a Klingon prison storyline. However, as someone who has genuinely enjoyed Discovery so far, there was still enough here to keep me interested, from Harry Mudd’s waxing poetic about the little people to Stamets’ sacrifice for Ripper....

This article contains spoilers for Star Trek: Picard and the wider Trek universe. Star Trek: Picard Season 2 Episode 1 As season premieres go, Star Trek: Picard’s Season 2 debut — “The Star Gazer” — is a banger. If anyone had any doubts if this new season was going to be exciting and different than what was expected, it feels like this episode will easily silence the haters. With an utterly familiar Star Trek-y feeling and a fantastic and complex new plot, Picard Season 2 feels like the Star Trek: The Next Generation sequel everyone was waiting for....

Today, during the second day of the Star Wars Celebration weekend, the video game developer Respawn Entertainment held a panel at the Chicago event in which it officially revealed the release date and supported platforms for Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. For those looking forward to the forthcoming title, they will do well to mark their calendars for its November 15, 2019 launch, and they can play it on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One....
