Gibson recently told the BBC that the line between playing a video game and watching a TV show is becoming increasingly blurred. While this might not immediately come to mind when thinking about IO Interactive’s Hitman trilogy, especially since it originally released in episodes, the new First Light installment shows the developer prioritizing storytelling. It uses a more straightforward, linear approach to move the plot along.

Martin Scorsese makes a cameo in Star Wars: The Mandalorian & Grogu as the voice of Hugo Durant, a four-armed alien who runs a food stand on the planet Shakari. When the Mandalorian, Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal), asks him about a bounty, Hugo quickly gives a lot of information, delivered with a noticeable New York accent, and strongly warns Din Djarin about the dangers of being an informant in the criminal world. Though Scorsese voices this alien fry cook for just a few minutes in the first couple of scenes, the character is surprisingly detailed and complex.

Ming-Na Wen, known for her role as Fennec Shand in the 2021 series, thinks there are still stories to tell with The Book of Boba Fett. While on The Sackhoff Show, she told fans she’d be happy to reprise her role and work alongside Temuera Morrison again if another season happens.

As a huge fan of Kingdom Come: Deliverance, I’m so excited that Warhorse Studios is making a game set in Middle-earth! Right now, we don’t know a ton about it, but the possibilities are amazing. I’m really hoping they’ll use this chance to show us parts of the world we haven’t seen much of in other games, create some fresh faces, and maybe even play around with the existing stories in cool and unexpected ways. Here’s what I’m most hoping to see – and one thing I think they should probably steer clear of!

Season 9 of Rick and Morty is here, and the new season is focusing on ongoing plotlines. Notably, Evil Morty – the show’s biggest villain – has returned after a three-year absence. However, it appears he’s been defeated again, possibly for good this time, and may not be appearing in Rick and Morty for a long while.

When Cable became the team’s leader, he transformed them into a more powerful and dangerous group. He trained these young mutants into an active fighting force, and brought in new members willing to use deadly force against their enemies. Here’s a ranking of the original 10 X-Force members, based on their power levels.

Look, I love the big superhero spectacles like The Dark Knight and The Avengers as much as the next person, but sometimes the smaller, less flashy comic book movies are just as great. There are these hidden gems that didn’t launch huge franchises or break box office records, but they’re seriously fun to watch. And one of the best, in my opinion, is Dredd from 2012. It was a really faithful adaptation of the classic 2000 AD character, which fans had been wanting for ages. It didn’t do well in theaters at first, but it’s gained a real following over the years. Luckily, it’s going to be available to stream again soon, and it’s free – which is awesome!

I’m not referring to the popular Call of Duty game made by Treyarch. I’m talking about a lesser-known PlayStation 2 game by Eurocom, which has gameplay similar to the original Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune.

The update also addresses crashes that sometimes happened when disconnecting from multiplayer games or while exploring the final areas of the game. Players using the highest graphics settings on PC should see better performance, and the game’s Terms of Service have been updated based on player feedback.

Numerous Star Wars games have introduced a lot of characters, but Cal Kestis has become particularly popular. The main character from the Star Wars Jedi games quickly gained a dedicated fanbase, and many fans have expressed wanting to see him in other Star Wars projects. Recently, a fan on X (formerly Twitter) shared their hope to see Cal Kestis appear in live-action, and the response was overwhelming – a lot of Star Wars fans want Cameron Monaghan, the actor who plays Cal through motion capture, to play the role in a live-action series or movie.
