Game Rant recently sat down with Kitty Calis and JW Nijman, two of the four developers of 2018 indie game Minit. In between projects, the developers of Minit have been working on Minit Fun Racer, a spinoff arcade-style 1-bit racing game, with a unique premise and wholesome goals: all of the proceeds from Minit Fun Racer will be donated to charity, with the goal of targeting specific causes as time goes on....
If you didn’t know any better, you’d think that movie distributors are still a little nervous about this whole pandemic thing not being over yet. Sure, Godzilla Vs. Kong did okay for the pandemic era, but everyone loves a monster movie. A seventh iteration Mission Impossible and a Top Gun sequel? That’s a little more… eh. So Paramount is once again pushing back the release of Top Gun 2 and Mission Impossible 7....
Minimaps have been a point of controversy since beta testing in Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare, but this is something players can celebrate. There are a number of video game franchises that feel as if they have the gaming community split. However, no franchise has a “love it or hate it” effect quite like Call Of Duty. Players of the series will defend it to the death, while those who don’t will slam it every chance they get....
Jamie Lee Curtis is on the Borderlands movie set playing the role of Tannis, the crazy archeologist who keeps putting science above the lives of everyone around her. She’s a good choice for the role, apparently matching Tannis’ look so well that it drove Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford to tears. Besides being a great Tannis, Curtis is also our window into what the upcoming film will look like. Her first snapshot shows us Cate Blanchett as film protagonist Lilith, and I gotta see, even backlit she looks perfect....
John Cena posted a fan-made Fortnite skin on Instagram this week and we desperately want it to be seen by the right people so it becomes a reality.

It was nearly a decade ago when screenwriter and director Michael Dougherty made Trick ‘R Treat, a horror anthology film based around Halloween myths that was deliciously old school in its approach to scares and laughs and surprisingly nasty under the surface as well. Trick ‘R Treat spent a couple of years in release limbo before hitting Blu-ray and DVD in 2009, but it became a cult hit and established Dougherty as a genre talent to watch....
Mortal Kombat 11 has one of the most buckwild rosters in gaming. From Robocop to the T-800 to the Joker, it’s bonkers how many beloved characters have crossed over into the hit fighter.

That’s not to say that Wright is opposed to sequels in general, because—during a conversation with Cary Fukunaga for Interview Magazine (via IGN)—Wright once more brought up the Baby Driver 2 script he’s been sitting on for a few years....
This Lucifer review contains spoilers. Lucifer Season 4 Episode 4 “Maybe you read about it in a little book called The Bible.” No matter how much any of us want Chloe and Lucifer to end up together, it’s virtually impossible to dislike the childlike exuberance of the Bible’s first woman as she re-enters Lucifer’s life after a few thousand year absence. And while Chloe struggles to rebuild her personal and professional lives after the falling out with her partner, “All About Eve” provides a delightfully introspective glimpse into the circumstances behind Eve’s departure from Heaven and her desire to party on Earth with her ex....

At long last, it’s finally Marvel’s Avengers week. For anyone who’s been playing the beta throughout August, it likely feels as if the game has been out for a month. However, its official release was this past Friday - unless you count that weird “early release” on Tuesday.

It’s no major secret that Mass Effect: Andromeda encountered a rocky launch and failed to maintain a solid amount of interest from its player base, which subsequently led to the science fiction series being put on hiatus thereafter.
