When a movie works – really, really works – its combination of acting, cinematography, music, sound design, lighting, and editing come together so seamlessly that it can become difficult to pin down exactly why it’s so effective. Take Alien for example: beautifully shot by Ridley Scott and cinematographer Derek Vanlint, cut with razor-sharp perfection to Jerry Goldsmith’s piping eerie score, it’s a masterpiece of genre filmmaking. In the years since Alien’s release in 1979, various aspects of it have been singled out for praise: H....

Team Star fills a role in Scarlet & Violet; as is typical, each Generation of Pokemon traditionally brings a new organization/team to the table. But not all of them have the corrupt intentions of Team Rocket or share the feud held by Team Aqua and Magma. Putting a different spin on things, Team Star consists of misfit students of the Academy you attend in-game. The Team is split into five individual Bases throughout the Paldea Region, with each Base having an assigned Boss that you will defeat during the Starfall Street gameplay route....

Information regarding Dead Space 2: Severed has been surprisingly sparse. First announced when Dead Space 2 launched on January 25, 2011, little has been revealed of the DLC until now. We know that it will feature two additional stand-alone single-player chapters which focus on Gabe Weller and Lexine Murdoch as they both attempt to escape from the Sprawl. What we didn’t know is that because Gabe is a security officer, he not only has his own one-of-a-kind security suit, but also his own upgraded and more powerful plasma rifle....
As gamers we all know the feeling. Opening a present that contains a popular game console, or piece of gaming tech, only to discover there weren’t any games included. One thing that many gamers, casual and hardcore alike, will be receiving is Microsoft’s motion control peripheral Kinect, but will those lucky individuals be receiving one of the launch titles with it? I mean, you can only play Kinect Adventures for so long, right?...
Super Meat Boy isn’t just another indie game that’s looking for some bit of popularity. It’s a legitimately fun yet difficult game, one that brings back memories of the tricky platformers of the late 80s and early 90s era of gaming. Any fan of old-school gaming would certainly love it, and newer fans could certainly derive some enjoyment out of it, too. While it can currently only be purchased via download on Xbox Live and Steam, wouldn’t it be nice for such a well-received game to be sold in stores?...
Activision’s Call of Duty: Black Ops sold a record-setting 1.4 million units during its first day on sale in the UK. According to data provided to MCV by UKIE/GfK Chart-Track, unit sales were up 14 per cent over Modern Warfare 2. The game’s £58 million in revenue is a 22 per cent increase over Modern Warfare 2. Call of Duty: Black Ops is available now for Xbox 360, PS3, PC, Wii and Nintendo DS....
Quicktime Events have been both a blessing and a curse. When used correctly and with purposes, they can be incredibly immersive and can help you dive headfirst into the game, but when used for the sake of it, there is nothing worse than a QuickTime event. Some QuickTime Events can show how powerful a person is without much input from the player, such as a fast fistfight. By hitting a Quicktime Event or otherwise known as QTE’s, fights can happen in more or less real-time and be truly remarkable to see, but of course, the downside is that control is taken away from the player....
With a whole new video game generation on the horizon, we can’t help but look back on the era of the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One with fond memories. With titles like Red Dead Redemption II and God of War dominating the charts, it’s easy to forget about some of the great games that fell through the cracks. Sure, we could say these underrated titles just didn’t stack up against some of the juggernauts we saw, but we’re going to look at it a little differently....
According to Guinness World Records, the PlayStation is the best-selling platform of all time. Numerous companies competed for the top spot, but the numbers are in, and PlayStation has been bestowed the honor. A significant amount of PlayStation’s success is owed to the PlayStation 2. It sold approximately 159 million units to date; more than a third of the platform’s total sales. In the spirit of the recently awarded Guinness World Record for “best-selling home video game console brand ever,” it’s the perfect time to compile this list....
Wolverine is one of the most enduring characters in Marvel Comics’ history. We’ve been in awe of the exploits of James Howlett/Logan for over 40 years in print, and he’s one of the most famous characters in superhero movie history. After all, without the Ol’ Canucklehead, Hugh Jackman might not have had as prosperous a career as he’s had. While Wolverine is known for being able to take and dish out a lot of pain and punishment, he has a lot of abilities....
In 2018, we were treated to Marvel’s Spider-Man for the PlayStation 4. Most gamers felt that it was arguably the greatest superhero video game ever made. The gameplay, graphics, nods to Marvel lore, voice acting, plot, and almost every other aspect was praised by reviewers. The post-credits scene left things wide open for a sequel and it is something that we’re all greatly looking forward to. But when one game gets shown as much love as Marvel’s Spider-Man has, it is next to impossible for a sequel to live up to it....
The Conquering of the World — 19th century More than two centuries elapsed between the introduction of the first mechanical calculator (Schickard’s Rechenuhr of 1623) and the first large-scale and low-cost production machine (Thomas de Colmar’s Arithmometer, produced in series from 1850s). The reasons for such a delay (by the way, much longer than that of other industrial superstars as steam and combustion engines, telegraph, telephone, etc.), can be credited to several technical, social, and economic factors, most important of them undoubtedly was the lack of need or, as we would say today, of receptive markets until the second half of the 19th century....
Deadpool was released to widespread critical acclaim. The film can be seen akin to Avatar in that just like Avatar started a whole new trend of 3D movies–something that survives till today–so did Deadpool begin a trend for superhero movies becoming R-rated. Logan was commissioned with that rating after taking in the success of this film. Meanwhile several other future superhero films like The Batman or Suicide Squad 2 are rumored to be carrying the R rating in order to replicate Deadpool’s edgy feel....
Playing our favorite classic video games takes us back to a simpler time. Sure, life might have been just as bad when you first played these games, but that doesn’t mean that the playing of them wasn’t an amazing time. All characters on this list are familiar to us and remind us of some of the best games. The weird part is realizing how long ago some of these came out....
When it comes to open world games, most of us have spent more time than we’d care to admit trudging through digital worlds. We’ve all spent a few hours on the annoying mission or quest that you just can’t get through. Days being sucked in by the storylines when you play through the main quests. Genuinely grinding your way through for the new weapon or spell. While all this is fun and all, much like in real life we all need a little break sometimes....
