Concord Has One Big Thing Going For It And Lots Of Stuff Holding It Back
23.8.2024
Concord is a hero-based multiplayer shooter where you run around sci-fi maps on distant planets using pistols, cannons, fireballs and knives to obliterate opponents in familiar modes like “capture the point” and “kill stuff.” There’s nothing in it that’s surprised me or blown my mind, but it’s...

James Gunn’s reboot of the DCU doesn’t start until Superman arrives in 2025, but he said the movie is already done filming to give the teams involved as much time as possible to perfect its finished look, and especially the quality of its VFX. The director’s comments were in response to growing...
Alien: Romulus: The Kotaku Review
18.8.2024
Good or bad taste is difficult to define, but easy to point out, and Alien: Romulus, from Uruguayan director Fede Álvarez (who famously delivered a fantastic Evil Dead flick over a decade ago), offers a bizarre mix of both. It’s clear that Álvarez wants to hearken back to the analog, tactile sci-fi...

Alien: Romulus Took Inspiration From This One Small Thing In Alien: Isolation
13.8.2024
Alien: Romulus looks to be a terrifying love letter to the first film in the series, released back in the late ‘70s.

The Best Part Of Deadpool & Wolverine Is The Credits
1.8.2024
Deadpool & Wolverine is meant to be both a beginning and an end. The third of the Ryan Reynolds films about Marvel’s merc with a mouth is the character’s MCU debut, but it also shuts the book on the Fox era of superhero films. It doesn’t do either particularly well, instead mostly acting as...

19.7.2024
For someone who doesn’t care about Deadpool at all, I sure have been finding myself writing about him, his movies, and playing with his ass a bit more than I anticipated. It’s with that in mind that I come to deliver my latest missive: don’t watch the final trailer for Deadpool & Wolverine if...

12.7.2024
Well, here we are, crossing over into the middle of June. Sorry, January. Damn it. I meant July. Things with the same starting letter screw me up every time (apologies to every Matt and Mike I’ve met). But hey, maybe old, stubborn, resistant-to-change habits can be convinced to take a hike and...
