Nintendo just dropped a new trailer for Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury, and Bowser looks madder than ever. 2021 has only just begun and Nintendo has already been criticized for the lack of content it has announced for the year ahead. The thing is, that isn’t Nintendo’s style. It likes to drop huge announcements a week, maybe two before a release actually hits. Take Super Mario 3D All-Stars, for instance....

In protest of this exclusivity deal, many PC gamers began review-bombing the first two entries of the franchise, Metro 2033 and Metro Last Light....

When Ian Fleming first created the character of 007, he settled on calling him James Bond because it was the “dullest name I’ve ever heard.” How ironic that nearly 70 years after that decision, and almost 60 years since the first James Bond movie, Dr. No (1962), that moniker is still associated around the world with thrilling action and exotic danger. Beginning with the first Bond film from producers Cubby Broccoli and Harry Saltzman, and which starred Sean Connery as the international man of mystery, 007 has burrowed into the global zeitgeist....

Since her scene-stealing performance as Tutar Sagdiyev in Borat Subsequent Moviefilm, Bakalova has appeared in several projects, including the Judd Apatow comedy The Bubble and the upcoming A24 slasher Bodies Bodies Bodies.

Sadly, however, Mr. Rickman died in 2016 to pancreatic cancer – the same year that Harry Potter and the Cursed Child made its debut. The two events happened only a few months apart from each other. As such, when JK Rowling attended a dress rehearsal for the play, she was ambushed with a deep sense of sadness the moment Snape took his place on stage....

This article is presented by: It seems pretty odd to have survived a serious accident only to proclaim, “I cannot wait to do a superhero show,” but stranger still is the fact that that’s exactly what actor David Julian Hirsch is now doing as Richard Conrad/Blue-Bolt on Jupiter’s Legacy. Born in Canada on October 26, 1973, Hirsch had every intention of becoming a lawyer, having studied criminology at the University of Toronto....

Over the past few weeks, we’ve seen a new trend in video game Kickstarters really start to take off; the original developers of well-loved series taking to crowdfunding platforms, with high hopes of finding funding for a spiritual sequel. It’s a strategy that we first saw used in conjunction with a high-profile franchise when Mighty No. 9 was funded back in 2013. That game sought to bring back the classic gameplay of the Mega Man series, whereas now it’s Castlevania and Banjo-Kazooie that are being resurrected....
