Nintendo games are full of memorable character designs, many of which even non-gamers recognize. Out of all of those designs, though, Link and his green tunic are arguably the most recognizable (right behind Mario and his overalls, naturally). Nintendo makes it a point to ensure nearly every Legend of Zelda game includes the iconic tunic,

The internet has been a-flurry with Willow chat this week after Deadline (written by Nellie Andreeva) announced that the series was to be “Canceled After One Season On Disney+”, with fans and viewers alike offering differing opinions on the news. Now, series showrunner Jon Kasdan has taken to social media to address the matter, first
This article contains spoilers for Swarm. There’s an old African proverb that says “the child who is not embraced by the village will burn it down to feel its warmth.” Prime Video’s surreal horror series, Swarm, takes that proverb and tweaks it to a modern context. Throughout Donald Glover and Janine Nabers’ ode to dark obsession,
I was hopelessly addicted to Diablo 4‘s recent Early Access beta, and I’m already looking forward to losing myself in the game once more during its upcoming Open beta weekend. Then again, that’s always been Diablo‘s thing. It’s the franchise that turned classic role-playing into an addictive action experience. Competitors have come along that do
Released: 24 March (in cinemas) Director: Brandon Cronenberg Writer: Brandon Cronenberg Cast: Alexander Skarsgård, Mia Goth, Cleopatra Coleman, Jalil Lespert and Thomas Kretchmann Distributor: Universal Infinity Pool begins in the dark.

This article contains spoilers for the Attack on Titan anime. Attack on Titan is spattered with gore. Both humans and Titans are decapitated, ripped apart, burned and left to bleed. Some even explode. Spoiler alert: many of the fatalities in Attack on Titan are humans who are able to transform into Titans but meet their
This Lucky Hank review contains no spoilers. Bob Odenkirk’s journey to stardom has been unconventional to say the least. He was first known as a legendary comedy writer on massive hits like Saturday Night Live and Late Night with Conan O’Brien. His biggest role in front of the camera during this time was on the
“I’m gonna be judged! I’m an actor. We don’t like that!” These are the amusing first words of Golden Globe-winning acting legend John Lithgow when he appeared on Celebrity Stand Up To Cancer Bake Off back in 2019. And he’s got a point. Because, aside from the fact most Hollywood stars have a packed schedule,
In the early days of home console and arcade gaming, many studios developed titles based on movies and TV shows. Actually, they tried to develop titles based on pretty much any movie and TV show s they could find. While this trend eventually faded away, Retroware is trying to rekindle the licensed game boom with
Diablo 4‘s beta is here, and those who pre-ordered the game (or bought a chicken sandwich) can play the game now via Early Access. Those who are lucky enough to dive into the game’s Early Access period will probably wonder which of the three available classes (Barbarian, Rogue, and Sorcerer) is best for them. The
Can a festival have swagger? Because it felt like SXSW was swaggering in 2023. This should not be a total surprise for a weeklong conference that’s an intersection between film, television, music, gaming, technology, and arguably innovation itself. As per one industry insider, SXSW has long been perceived as “the cool kids festival.” Nonetheless, one
A weird thing happened to me at the start of March. After weeks of grinding the CCG Marvel Snap, I had finally climbed the ranks during the game’s ‘Into the Quantum Realm’ season. Previous seasons had seen me hit rank 50 or 60 at best, but as I crested 90 I realized that this was
It’s no secret that the MCU is in a state of flux. Even as movies such as Black Panther: Wakanda Forever and Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania continue to do well at the box office, a type of fatigue has set in, with people feeling a bit overwhelmed by the constant stream of new media
Much of the fun in Diablo 4 comes from trying different builds and watching your character grow, though the limited nature of the game’s beta does hinder that experience somewhat. Even across the Early Access and Open betas, many players just won’t have a lot of time to really experiment with all the possibilities. As
Norman Bates is haunted by many demons, but the one which tortures him the most is not loneliness or fear or even his questionable past. That demon is his mother. Norma Bates (at least what remains of her) is glimpsed in the shadows of Alfred Hitchcock’s horror classic Psycho, and later heard through Norman’s own
This article contains nothing but Shazam! Fury of the Gods spoilers. Shazam! Fury of the Gods is a big movie. It’s essentially a team movie, with not only Billy Batson, but his entire foster family bringing a total of six superheroes to the table (not to mention the presence of Djimon Hounsou’s Wizard). And they’re
The Dungeons & Dragons universe spans vast underground realms, impossible outer planes, and kingdoms as beautiful or corrupt as you can imagine. It’s fertile ground for our imaginations, where player characters can overcome almost any plot or puzzle your dungeon master can throw at you. But along the way, there are many dangers to face.
To coincide with the release of tense claustrophobic horror, Play Dead, out now in UK cinemas, we have an exclusive sneak peek from the film! Watch it here. On a mission to save her brother from the consequences of a crime gone horribly wrong, Play Dead follows criminology student Chloe, who fakes her own death
Star Trek hasn’t always been great about introducing new characters in legacy stories. Sure, Lieutenant Saavik was pretty great, at least in her first incarnation, but no one wanted to see more of David or William Dekker (bullet dodged on that last one). But like an odd-numbered Trek movie that everyone loves, Star Trek: Picard‘s
Blizzard isn’t letting Diablo 4 beta participants keep their characters after the limited trial. This news will no doubt disappoint anyone who acquires powerful loot from the world boss Ashava, but Blizzard is providing a few consolation rewards for anyone who sticks with the beta long enough. Gamers who participate in Diablo 4‘s Early Access

The following contains Shadow and Bone spoilers. The second season of Shadow and Bone is absolutely jam-packed with big moments of both the emotional and the magical variety, adapting the events of two of Leigh Bardugo’s Grishaverse novels (Siege and Storm and Ruin and Rising) and adding multiple shocking new twists entirely of its own
To be honest, I was feeling a little apprehensive about the roughly five-hour-long Dead Island 2 demo I recently got the chance to play. I enjoyed (but certainly didn’t love) the original Dead Island, and the sequel’s rocky development certainly raised a few red flags. Besides, we’re not exactly hurting for zombie games. I just
This article contains spoilers for season 1 of Shadow and Bone Based on Leigh Bardugo’s Grishaverse novels, Netflix’s fantasy series Shadow and Bone is set in a world where a shadowy vale full of monsters known as The Fold divides the land. The country of Ravka suffers the most from this division. Not only is
Crossplay may very well be the future of multiplayer. However, while many modern games support this feature and use it well, some are still lagging behind. Plus, there’s no guarantee a title will ship with crossplay intact. You don’t have to worry about that with Diablo IV. The Diablo IV Open Beta is just over
We said that The Kaiju Preservation Society “brings a welcome dose of impish heart and humour to a story with grand scale and grand scales” in our review and now author John Scalzi is back with Starter Villain, another unique sci-fi caper set in the strangest of all worlds: present-day Earth.

One of the many exciting announcements recently made by DC bosses James Gunn and Peter Safran in their initial ‘Gods And Monsters’ phase was the fact that we’re getting a new Superman movie, Superman: Legacy, and that James Gunn will be writing the script.

Diablo 4 releases on June 6, 2023, but when you’re waiting for an anticipated game like that, any amount of time can feel like forever. So to help make the wait feel a little less hellish, Blizzard is holding a special Diablo 4 beta event to give players a taste of things to come. During
