Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice can be an exceptionally hard game. Even by the standards of previous From Software games, Sekiro is an often brutal experience.

With the death of Sean Connery at the age of 90, tributes from those connected to his career have begun to pour in. While the actor’s largest legacy comes from his time as the first (and some still say best) James Bond, the tributes span his career, and even come from corners of Hollywood who never worked alongside him. Here is a small sampling… James Bond producers Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli released a statement via the official 007 social media accounts....

Konami takes to Twitter, explaining that the so-called cancelled ’true ending’ of The Phantom Pain won’t be included in Metal Gear Solid 5: The Definitive Experience.

After finding tremendous success adapting the Star Wars and Indiana Jones franchises into Lego video games, Traveller’s Tales turned its sights on another beloved media franchise with its own Lego line: Batman. Despite following the aesthetic of the movies pretty closely, Lego Batman: The Videogame was notable for being Traveller’s Tales’ first Lego game with an original story. The game was a big success, both critically and commercially, so it was followed by two sequels, DC Super Heroes and Beyond Gotham, which expanded the universe to include fellow members of the Justice League....

The Fantastic Beasts franchise continues its fluttering financial returns with an all-time low opening for the Wizarding World. “Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore, the latest, most-cursed-yet installment of J.K. Rowling’s increasingly cursed Harry Potter franchise, which is now on track to post the lowest box office numbers of the entire Wizarding World series of movies. Per Variety, the film is set to bring in roughly $40 million this weekend, $22 million less than 2018’s The Crimes Of Grindelwald—a ‘blockbuster’ so fundamentally incoherent that reading a plot synopsis of it now (despite your humble Newswire writer having actually been dragged to see the damn thing in theaters back in the day) feels like stumbling into the manifesto of a flashback-obsessed psychopath....

There is a certain etiquette and level of decorum that comes with Jane Austen adaptations. They can be prideful and they can be prejudiced, but they must above all else be able to do it with the proper amount of propriety. Perhaps this is why Love & Friendship is so delightfully wicked. Playing as if all the characters have seen their fair share of Sense & Sensibility films too, Whit Stillman’s devilishly self-aware costume drama is as dangerously beguiling as star Kate Beckinsale’s scandalous Lady Susan, a woman who can be called many things, but never proper....
Mad Max: Fury Road, the award-winning fourth installment in the Mad Max franchise was both a worthy successor to the original films and a blockbuster smash in its own right.

The studio quickly announced that a prequel film was in development starring Furiosa, one of the main characters from Fury Road, and just recently, the film got an official release window....
Though the days of Ray Lewis in a Baltimore Ravens uniform or Brian Urlacher in a Chicago Bears jersey are long gone, the NFL still hosts several extremely talented inside linebackers.

A Brazilian electrician is in for a shock of a different kind as he opens a busted PlayStation 4 only to find the root cause of problems was a wayward snake. Usually, PlayStation 4 fans refer to Snake as the lead character in Metal Gear Solid, and not something that fries up their circuit boards.
