The Hulk Hogan sex tape lawsuit, financed by a guy who flinches at the prospect of humanity enduring, is not really my story to tell. I was merely an observer at the time. While I’m all too familiar with most of the key twists and turns in the very messy, very public trial that followed, I never worked at Gawker Media…

Fantastic Four: First Steps mostly focuses on its titular group, but Mister Fantastic, Invisible Woman, Human Torch, and the Thing aren’t the only heroes introduced in the film. One major player doesn’t get a superhero name, but is a pretty significant one in Marvel’s comics. Franklin Richards, the son of Reed…

Donkey Kong Bananza on Switch 2is a very, very good video game all about smashing stuff up and exploring gorgeous cartoon worlds as Nintendo’s favorite ape. But between all the banana eating, punching, jumping, and singing, there are loading screens featuring some wonderful retro-style artwork that I just adore.

Poor President Trump has had his ickle wickle feelings hurt again, this time by an episode of South Park that reached new heights of government-breaking satire by depicting the current president as a big stupid idiot with a tiny penis. This, implausibly predictably, bothered him so much that the White House released a…

H.G. Wells’ The War of the Worlds is a well that so many creatives have drawn from. From the infamous nation-terrifying Orson Welles radio play of 1938, through Steven Spielberg’s 2005 movie, via 1996's Independence Day, and now to a brand new movie starring Eva Lonoria and Ice Cube, it’s never not being reimagined.…

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is one of the biggest surprise gaming hits of 2025 and a traditional turn-based role-playing game that reminded many fans of the golden-era of PlayStation 1 JRPGs they still pine for. Some have even gone so far as to argue that the next Final Fantasy game should be more like Clair Obscur.…

Earlier today, after months of teases, leaks, and rumors, EA and Battlefield Studios finally unveiled the first official trailer for Battlefield 6. And what we’ve seen so far seems great.

I don’t have any room to judge all the times Naughty Dog has found some way to repackage The Last of Us and its sequel because I keep buying every new box set the studio releases. However, the newest way the company has found to print money without making a new game isn’t a bad live-action adaptation, a questionable…

Anduril Industries cofounder Palmer Luckey has pulled back the curtain ever so slightly on his retro gaming company side project’s next console.

There’s more than a few echoes of Stellar Blade in Wuchang: Fallen Feathers, which invests as much into its main character’s wardrobe as the rest of the action-RPG experience.

The Switch 2 is in that awkward early phase where most of its best games are old. Nintendo has put out a couple of big exclusives, sure, but by and large, the draw of the system largely lies in the ability to play games on the go that used to demand you be tethered to a TV. So if you’re thinking of buying the thing in…
