The New RoboCop Game Is A Fun But Shallow Spin-Off
17.7.2025
RoboCop: Rogue City - Unfinished Business is a newly released standalone expansion to 2023's surprisingly excellent and charming RoboCop: Rogue City. And while this new RoboCop game is built on the foundation of Rogue City, it lacks a lot of what made the first game so compelling. Still, it is...

4.4.2025
In 2012, renowned developers Scott Murphy and Mark Crowe launched a Kickstarter to spiritually revive their classic Space Quest series, a game to be called SpaceVenture.

14 Final Destination Deaths, Ranked From Ludicrous To Chillingly Plausible
24.3.2025
Final Destination has always been less about death itself and more about the inescapability of it—especially when you’ve cheated it once. The series turns survivor’s guilt into a blood-soaked curse, punishing those who narrowly avoid tragedy with even more elaborate and grotesque ends. And what...

28 Years Later's Emaciated Zombie Isn't Cillian Murphy After All
12.12.2024
This is an emaciated zombie from the new 28 Years Later trailer. It looks sort of, kinda, maybe like an emaciated Cillian Murphy, the star of the first movie. It turns out that is not an emaciated Cillian Murphy, however. Instead, it’s an art dealer who sometimes models and happens to be very, very...
28 Years Later Trailer Shows A Future Warped By Endless Apocalypse And Maybe Cillian Murphy's Zombie Corpse
10.12.2024
The first trailer for 28 YearsLater is here and full of dread. Its grim mix of violence and futile resistance rekindles that sense of hopelessness from the first movie, though perhaps without the same moments of humanity and levity. It also might give us our first look at the fate of Cillian...

After years of having an assembly line of Star Wars movies and TV shows, the galaxy far, far away feels like it’s slowing down.

Halo Season 2 Just Set Up The Franchise's Biggest Moment
9.2.2024
The second episode of Halo’s secondseason isn’t bad, by any means, but it’s not quite as memorable as the previous episode. Instead, “Sword” is a reminder that the Halo series is strongest when it focuses on the Spartan’s stories, whether it’s John’s attempts to set the record straight about what...

Halo Actor Didn’t Want Master Chief To Get Laid
19.1.2024
The Halo TV series on Paramount+ was always billed as a non-canon take on the universe and characters from the iconic franchise developed by Bungie and 343 Industries. That didn’t stop fans from lamenting the “changes” made to characters like Master Chief and Cortana—and freaking out when season...

For years and years, video games—especially shooters—have gotten faster and faster. RoboCop: Rogue City, out now on Xbox, PlayStation, and PC, bucks this trend and puts you in the clunky, lumbering metal boots of RoboCop himself. But the real surprise isn’t how much fun it is to be a slow-walking...
