Horizon Forbidden West Upgrade System Ignores PS5 Shortages

Sony has revealed how Horizon Forbidden West‘s PS4-to-PS5 upgrade system will work, and the details of this disappointing pre-order policy loom large over PlayStation’s upcoming September 9 PS5 showcase event. Horizon Forbidden West will launch on February 18, 2022, for PS4 and PS5. If you buy the Standard or Special Editions of the game for PS4 (which cost $59.99 and $69.99, respectively), you will not receive access to the equivalent PS5 versions of the game. You will still be able to play those PS4 versions of the game on PS5, but they will not benefit from any of the enhancements…

An A.P. Bio Season 4 Episode Guide with Showrunner Mike O’Brien

Fittingly for a show about high school, A.P. Bio’s writers are often tasked with the least enjoyable aspect of education: homework. “One of the ways we try to find new areas in stories is just by writing assignments and homework,” A.P. Bio showrunner Mike O’Brien tells Den of Geek. “We’ll all go home and write. I often call them sketches or scenes – just some little thing.” O’Brien’s homework assignments have apparently paid off as they’ve allowed the comedy to reach four seasons, the first two of which aired on NBC and the following two on streaming service Peacock.  A.P.…

How Mortal Kombat Legends: Battle of the Realms Delivers a Real Mortal Kombat 2 Movie

When Mortal Kombat II hit the arcades in 1993, it was a massive hit. It took the first game, improved the gameplay, and gave us more of the gore and dark humor we loved. Plus: more fighters, more ninjas, more Fatalities, more finishing moves, more secrets, and better visuals. It solidified the franchise’s hold on pop culture, and even convinced Nintendo that including a little blood and gore in a video game isn’t the worst thing in the world. Two other things that really helped kick things up a notch were the game’s atmosphere and story. The first Mortal Kombat…

Cinderella Review: Amazon’s Adaptation Isn’t Afraid to Be Absurd

Camila Cabello’s Cinderella is the most ridiculous movie of 2021, but that isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Entering this movie, with its cast of triple (or at least double) threats, it can be easy to let assumptions get the best of you. Cabello is an extremely talented singer, so you can assume there’s going to be some tunes. Billy Porter is fabulous, so you can assume he will continue to be so as this adaptation’s incarnation of the fairy godparent. Idina Menzel, who plays the tale’s stepmother, is a goddess amongst us all, so you can assume she will continue…

How Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings’ Inclusiveness Could Conquer the World

Looking at Destin Daniel Cretton’s filmography, he would appear to be an unlikely candidate to helm a Marvel film, especially one as pivotal as the first fresh installment of MCU Phase 4. Cretton has directed five feature films previously, all of which are real-life dramas, three being based on books, with two of those being memoirs. These seem a far cry from comics, but Cretton has a deep Marvel connection – Captain Marvel no less. Cretton’s second film, Short Term 12, was the first leading role for Carol Danvers herself – Brie Larson.  His following films, The Glass Castle and Just…

Watch Dr DisRespect and TimTheTatman Play Call of Duty: Warzone on YouTube

The Twitch streamer exodus continues. Just days after pro gamer and streamer DrLupo signed an exclusivity deal with YouTube Gaming, another big name on Twitch has followed suit: Timothy John Betar, better known as TimTheTatman, will stream exclusively on YouTube starting today. “I know it’s going to be a change and there are people that don’t like change,” Betar told Business Insider after the move was announced. “[But] sometimes change ends up being a better thing.” Betar explained that the deal would allow him to be more flexible with his streaming content, saying that joining YouTube would allow him to spend…

Shang Chi: Where to Watch and Disney+ Release Date Details

Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, the latest Marvel Cinematic Universe feature, is out today, but because of the shifting grounds on which we all live, not all MCU fans are clear on where and how to watch the martial arts superhero flick. While MCU’s previous feature film, Black Widow, got a dual release in both theaters and via Disney+ Premier Access, Disney is forgoing that strategy (which really backfired) with Shang-Chi, and instead following a traditional theatrical-only release for the superhero film starring Simu Liu, Awkwafina, and Tony Leung. Here’s everything you need to know… Where to…

Suranne Jones’ Best Roles From New Drama Vigil to Doctor Who, Gentleman Jack & More

We’ve seen her sew knickers, spew out Artron Energy, run a coal mine, solve and commit murders, and now thanks to BBC One thriller Vigil, we’re seeing her gumshoe her way around a nuclear submarine sniffing out a naval conspiracy. There’s very little Suranne Jones can’t do. To celebrate the breadth of her on-screen work, here’s a selection of Jones’ finest performances so far. Karen Macdonald in Coronation Street The Street’s where it all started for Jones, playing the mouthy, ambitious Karen McDonald (née Philips) to audiences of almost 20 million four nights a week.

Wheel of Time Trailer Celebrates the Women Who ‘Protect the World’

”The power inside you: all over the world there are different names for it. But it’s one thing, One Power, and women who can touch it — we protect the world.” So says Rosamund Pike’s character, Moiraine Damodred, in the first Wheel of Time trailer released by Amazon. Even for those who have never read the Robert Jordan novels upon which the series is based, it’s clear that the powerful women featured in this preview are the ones to be reckoned with.

Why Marvel’s Midnight Suns Gameplay Has Fans Worried

Marvel’s Midnight Suns arguably stole the show during last week’s Gamescom Opening Night ceremony, but the reveal of the upcoming strategy title’s gameplay has already caused a bit of a divide in what recently seemed to be a pretty enthusiastic fanbase. If you’re watching that gameplay reveal for the first time, you may be wondering what the big deal is. After all, most people assumed that Midnight Suns was going to be a strategy game set in the Marvel universe, and that’s pretty much what it seems to be. However, much of the controversy surrounding Midnight Suns‘ gameplay at the…

Ranking Cinderella Adaptations

A dream is a wish your heart makes, and if your wish is to see countless takes on the beloved fairy tale of Cinderella, then consider your dreams having come true many times over—including this year, with a new Cinderella by way of Amazon Studios. This latest adaptation seems to have combined qualities of many of its predecessors: it’s playfully anachronistic and eschews the traditional Disney or Rodgers & Hammerstein songs in favor of a tracklist of modern pop covers; it also engages with Cinderella’s career aspirations beyond fitting her foot into a glass slipper. But this Cinderella owes everything…

American Horror Story: Double Feature Tackles Pill-Popping, Blood-Sucking Addiction

This American Horror Story: Double Feature review contains spoilers. American Horror Story Season 10 Episode 3 One of my favorite things about American Horror Story has been the fact that if something isn’t particularly working for me, be it a character or a setting, I know that in a few episodes, it’ll be gone. Such is the nature of the seasonal anthology; if something isn’t working for you, check out for ten episodes and when you come back next season, it’ll be something completely different in tone, setting, and content, even if there’ll be members of the cast crossing over…

Marvel’s What If…? Episode 4 Ending Explored: The Ramifications of Doctor Strange’s Choice

With the last couple episodes of Marvel’s What If…?, I was able to speculate on the tangent realities. What would a reformed Thanos mean for Earth? Where do the loyalties lie in the war against Loki’s rule over Midgard? The show asks, “What if?” and I asked, “What’s next?” Well…episode 4 makes that a little difficult. There is no world to expand upon. There is no future. Dr. Strange, driven by an obsession to save Christine Palmer’s life, goes way overboard and abuses time travel and magic to the point that reality collapses upon itself and all that remains is…

And although it remains to be seen if we’ll be seeing Boyce in Stranger New Worlds, the tradition of the cranky — but wise — Starfleet doctor was started right there. After Boyce and Piper, Star Trek set the standard for cranky, wise-cracking doctors in space with the introduction of Dr. Leonard “Bones” McCoy; as played by…
