A recent post on X (formerly Twitter) revealed that PlayStation 4 games now require a license check every 30 days to confirm they are legitimate copies. It appears the PlayStation 5 has a similar system, though it’s less noticeable.
As a total film and TV buff, I was thrilled to see the show from the team behind Baby Reindeer really clean up at the awards! They won three prizes: best series overall, a special award recognizing the amazing work of the entire cast, and a student award – which is always fantastic to see. It’s great when a show gets that kind of across-the-board recognition.
Apex, a new action thriller now streaming on Netflix, follows Sasha (Charlize Theron), a skilled rock climber, as she’s pursued by a dangerous serial killer named Ben (Taron Egerton). It’s a gripping and suspenseful film.
The mystery drama is currently being filmed on the French Riviera, and creator Mike White is crafting a new story with a fresh group of vacationers.
The new action thriller starring Academy Award winner Charlize Theron and Golden Globe winner Taron Egerton is set in Australia. Theron plays Sasha, an adventurous rock climber, and her trip takes a dangerous turn when she meets Ben, portrayed by Egerton.
I was really struck by what she said recently. She explained that the key to understanding people, especially when it’s difficult, is to just avoid judging them altogether. She told TopMob that as an actor, judgement is actually one of the worst things you can bring to a role. You have to be completely open to becoming someone else, and that means letting go of your own opinions and simply being that person, without criticism.
She says in the new Netflix documentary, Should I Marry a Murderer?, that the experience felt special, even though she recognized it was terribly wrong.
Ubisoft has released its new free-to-play action RPG, available now for download from the Ubisoft Store. It’s also included if you have a Ubisoft+ subscription. In the game, you and your friends play as Agents working to save New York from a dangerous enemy. Expect fast-paced, intense combat with a focus on tactical cover and plenty of options to customize your character.
We recently mentioned an upcoming update that would reveal some characters, and now we can share details about Blacklisted. It features Julia Black, a highly skilled assassin, sent to Redrock to eliminate two important targets. She’s working for the Meridian agency, which is dealing with problems from both inside and outside the organization. The storyline feels a bit too relevant to current events, but we’re hoping it will revitalize MindsEye.
I’m really excited because it sounds like Spiders is working on something new! If you don’t know them, they made both the GreedFall games and Steelrising. We actually really loved Steelrising when we reviewed it, even though it wasn’t perfect. And GreedFall: The Dying World was a pretty great RPG too – it built on what made the first GreedFall so good and definitely stood out. I’m hoping their next game is just as solid!
