Right out of the gates, the 2013 UK original kicks off with a series of murders. In the aptly named Doomsday Comics shop, a pair of assassins cosh one man with a metal pipe, and gas another two men and a child to death....

The last few years have been great for fans of Norse mythology. With AAA titles like God of War and Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla, players have been able to get a look at the great north’s culture and myths in a whole new way. However, it seems that it isn’t just the blockbuster titles that have taken inspiration from the Viking way of life.

This article contains WandaVision spoilers. Monica Rambeau has officially arrived in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. She first appeared as a kid in 2017’s Captain Marvel and Teyonah Parris’s adult iteration of her has been in most episodes of WandaVision so far, but it wasn’t until the fourth episode, “We Interrupt this Program,” viewers finally got a chance to see adult Monica as “herself” (rather than her sitcom alter ego of “Geraldine”) and learn her backstory....

As Sony and Microsoft hype up the next generation of gaming consoles, the conversation comes back to speed. “How fast can games load?” is the question that many think will decide who purchases what box. Of course, PC is always going to be king in that arena. As long as you’re packing the right hardware in your build, that is.

A recently discovered EA Sports job posting suggests that FIFA 22 will have an online Career Mode, although any details beyond that are spotty at best. Career Mode is in need of a shake up, and the shift to online could be the way to achieve this - even if it falls short of expectations, it at least shows EA is willing to try something new. Career Mode has had few improvements with the exception of aesthetic tweaks in recent years....

Dragon Age 2 turns ten years old today, and it’s my favourite game in the series. Whenever I tell people that, there are two responses I typically get; “Mine too!” or “What the hell are you talking about, that’s the worst one!” Very few people have the second Dragon Age game at second in their all time rankings, with the repeated dungeons and restrictive setting making for a divisive, love-it-or-hate-it reception....

This The Orville: New Horizons review contains spoilers. The Orville: New Horizons Season 3 Episode 5 Orville fans this season have frequently discussed how much the show has departed from its original comedic roots, and that may be half true.

Zack Snyder may have launched DC’s cinematic universe with Man of Steel, but it seems he may soon be stepping away from DC once and all. Though Snyder has returned to put his own version of Justice League HBO Max very soon, Warner Bros. has already paved out a plan forward for the future of DC films, and Zack Snyder isn’t anywhere to be seen. In their rush to catch up with the unstoppable Marvel Cinematic Universe, DC launched Man of Steel with a bigger plan already in mind: Zack Snyder would set the stage for a first phase of the DC film lineup, setting the tone and style for a cinematic universe that would culminate in a 2-part Justice League movie....

One of the most popular features in The Witcher 3 was the game-within-a-game called Gwent, with some players spending all of their time playing it instead of completing the main quest. Gwent’s popularity eventually convinced CD Projekt Red to move forward with a standalone release, which is now finally coming to Steam....

Fighting game characters are broken up into various archetypes such as projectile-based zoners and grab-heavy grapplers. While each of these archetypes comes along with their own set of strengths and weaknesses, one of the most popular are “rushdown” characters. These fighters are some of the most aggressive members of their respective rosters and are characterized by their speed and potential to deal massive amounts of damage when up close and personal....

There isn’t much that has been left unsaid about the Web-Slinger himself, Spider-Man. His stories are endless and between comics, movies, and video games, Spider-Man has become a universal symbol of great power and great responsibility. Many fans of the Web-Head have been pleased with the recent output of video games, with Insomniac’s Spider-Man and Spider-Man: Miles Morales.
