It’s fair to say that Liam Neeson is fast becoming the go-to actor for middling action-thrillers. Don’t get me wrong, the Northern Irish Hollywood star has spearheaded some genuinely terrific pics, like 2008’s Taken and 2012’s The Grey for instance, but his sheer prolificacy in the genre has led to a seeming downturn in quality over recent years. Helmed by GoldenEye and Casino Royale director Martin Campbell, it’s clear that Memory has a lot of action genre chops behind the camera....

Without much news about the progress of the film, that leaves room for the leakers and scoop accounts on Twitter to make some news.

Some may remember the poster reveal from D23 last year featuring CIA chair Contessa Valentina Allegra de la Fontaine, Ghost, Red Guardian, Yelena Belova, Bucky Barnes, US Agent, and Taskmaster....

Blizzard president Mike Ybarra has rebuked claims that Activision Blizzard is looking to incorporate NFTs into its games. Over the weekend, it was reported that Activision Blizzard was seemingly gauging players’ interest in cryptocurrency and NFT products through a YouGov survey.

NFTs have been a constant source of news in the gaming industry of late, with many controversial choices being made across the board....

When it was announced that a game would be developed based on the popular Back to the Future franchise, many gamers balked at the idea.

The Cuphead game is one of the most brutal and beautiful indie titles you can get your animated mitts on. It’s a Contra-like a run-and-gun boss-rush that will put your platforming skills to the test. But the most distinctive feature of the game has to be its 1930s cartoon-inspired art style. The game owes a lot of inspiration to classic cartoon studios for its characters, environments, and humor. Though many different styles influenced the designs, like Fleischer Studios, Warner Bros....

Tales of Arise will be the seventeenth entry in what is considered as the third biggest Japanese RPG series in the world. It is due to release sometime this year for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and the PC.

In addition, Arise will no longer be using Bandai Namco’s in-house game engine with developers opting to use the Unreal Engine 4 instead....

Fear Street 1994’s Shadyside Mall Plus, just imagine how good the likes of Trickster, Yui, and Yun-Jin would look on this map; It totally matches their aesthetics. Shadyside mall also just seems like the kind of map that I’d enjoy being chased around, with all the retro lights, food stalls, stores, and arcade machines lining the building.
