KALLAX STORAGEBORN, a free creation for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim™ from IKEA. - YouTube Watch On The brands are at it again but this time I'm inclined to let it slide, because it's so nonsensical (which is a nice way of saying dumb) that I can't help but be charmed. Ikea, the Swedish…

Warner Bros.Tom Cruise movies are tentpole events by the very nature of having Tom Cruise in them. But in his latest movie, Digger, he’s pushing the limits of what a “Tom Cruise movie” even means. Directed by Alejandro G. Iñárritu, of Birdman and The Revenant, Digger is about an oil tycoon who…

Paramount Television/Kobal/ShutterstockFor the first 20 years of Star Trek’s existence, the entire canon consisted of 79 episodes of the classic show, which fans held up as a kind of modern scripture. Yes, there was The Animated Series in 1973, and the first four films, but in many ways, before The…
Onimusha: Way of the Sword dropped last week, and we’re of the opinion that it’s a 10/10 masterpiece. If you’ve already jumped into the action or are generally curious about the story side of things, it's worth checking out the official companion web comic. The story serves as a direct prequel to…

Fans of the Nintendo Switch 2 have seen an increasingly diverse library of horror games, including Capcom’s Resident Evil 9: Requiem, one of the best games in the series and one of the hottest horror games right now.…
Only downside is you can't have a moat Truth be told, I'm still not sold on "bullet heaven" as a genre. Name notwithstanding, the genre is certainly here to stay, and there always seems to be funny new takes on it despite the fact that Vampire Survivors did kind of start it off without much room…
The console wars looked incredibly different back then, with many of the big names we know today not being as popular as they are. There were even consoles that no longer exist today, such as the Sega Dreamcast. But Sony completely redefined the console wars 31 years ago when it launched its new…

Warner Bros.M. Night Shyamalan has always marched to the beat of his own drum, as the delightfully demented Trap reminded us all in 2024. The director that pundits once heralded as “The Next Spielberg” is a different kind of artist entirely, one whose moves are far harder to predict. At this point,…
Call of Duty has joined Microsoft's bid to reinvigorate interest in Xbox consoles, today announcing a Modern Warfare 4 gun skin that you can only see if you're playing on an Xbox. You read that right: The Inner Circuit blueprint is an M4 skin granted to those who pre-order Modern Warfare 4 on any…
Bloodborne players can pick up a brand new gameplay twist thanks to this new mod, which changes how fog gates work. Aptly titled 'Fog Gate Randomizer', the mod works similarly to fog gate randomiser mods which populate other FromSoftware games like Dark Souls and Elden Ring. The mod changes the…

New competitors in the field like Sony needed their own answers to those kinds of characters, a drive that led to the creation of plenty of platformers. Spyro, Banjo-Kazooie, Rayman,…
