Aliens: Fireteam Elite Isn’t A Great Aliens Game
23.8.2021
I’ve had many friends wish they were in my position—or offer their assistance—when it comes to reviewing video games. Much rarer is the opposite reaction, where friends demanded beers as compensation for forcing them to play a video game.Read more
James McAvoy Was Playing Too Much Oblivion, So He Destroyed The Disc
22.8.2021
I think we all have had at least one game in our life that consumes your every waking hour. A game that you stay up late playing, then wake up early and play some more. For James McAvoy in 2006 that game was The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. Things got so bad that the actor had to burn the disc...

17.8.2021
Xbox Game Pass’ initial August additions were somewhat of a letdown, thanks to a lineup anchored by Hades (amazing) but not much else. For the back half of the month, Microsoft seems to have turned up the heat...with a cloud version of Need for Speed Heat. (I’m so sorry. I can’t help myself.)...

Prime 2D Is The Coolest Metroid In Over A Decade
5.4.2021
A group of independent developers known as Team SCU recently released a demo for Prime 2D, an impressive side-scrolling remake of 2002’s Metroid Prime that has been in the works for over 15 years. After spending some time with it, I can say it was definitely worth the wait, even if Nintendo’s...
Chaos Walking Has Too Much Walking, Too Little Chaos
3.3.2021
Actually, let me take that back slightly—there is quite a lot of chaos in Chaos Walking, but only in the sense that attempting to navigate a coherent arc through its jumbled, disjointed scenes is a frustratingly messy ask of its audience. Despite its big names, Chaos Walking’s languid energy...

The Mistake That Changed the History of Blade Runner
4.2.2021
These days, Blade Runner is considered one of the all-time masterpieces of science fiction. The combination of Philip K. Dick’s idea, Ridley Scott’s direction, Harrison Ford’s performance, and a laundry list of technical masters behind the scenes created a film that has stood the test of time....
The Star Wars Kids YouTube Channel Tries to Condense the Plot of The Rise of Skywalker Into Five Minutes

Star Wars Kids does a great job of making
entertaining, accessibly bite-sized chunks of Star
Wars that are probably great for children. But this latest time they had
an unenviable task: condensing The Rise of
Skywalker, which has a… less than simple plot, into a scant five
minutes. Read more

Vetřelec se musel naučit tai-či. Co o filmové ikoně možná nevíte
14.4.2019
Propojil sci-fi s hororovým thrillerem, nabídl extrémně působivou vizuální podívanou, realističností diváka vtahoval do děje. Má náladu, napětí, temnotu, silné efekty. Film Vetřelec se stal kultem, poprvé se přitom posádka lodi Nostromo představila v kinech právě před čtyřiceti lety. Toto o filmu...
