Despite some setbacks this past decade what with the poor launch of the 3DS and the entire mess that was the Wii U, Nintendo is steadily recovering. This is in thanks to them fixing said 3DS problem along with launching the Switch in 2017, which has continued to sell like gangbusters. Console stuff aside, there have been many franchises that debuted this past decade as well. We will look at games released between 2010 and 2019 for new stuff as long as they have at least one sequel....

Horror as a genre in all types of creative media has always had a large following of people who love it for varying reasons, be it the aesthetic, the style of story-telling, or simply the thrill.

Complex revenge tales will often do well at the cinema. Moves like Gladiator married the idea of a historical epic and a vicious revenge tale, grabbing a handful of Oscar wins in the process. Revenge is a universal subject, as everyone wants to feel they could overcome the odds to see justice done. Played by an impressive-looking Alexander Skarsgård, Amleth undergoes incredible hardship and is willing to inflict unimaginable cruelty on others in order to bury his blade in the man who killed his father....

It’s all too rare to get contemporary YA fiction that combines a focus on “social issues” with a speculative fiction twist, which was one of the many reasons we were eager to learn more about Bethany C. Morrow’s A Song Below Water.

Whether or not you’re familiar with the Resistance series, it’s painfully clear that the FPS genre isn’t lacking any content of late.
