Bond is shot down by a mysterious and well-equipped enemy group focused on a camp hidden on the other side of a mountain – information he receives from MI6. The game begins by teaching players how to move, take cover, and hide in tall grass to avoid being seen. After falling off a cliff, Bond discovers the camp is actually the site of a large-scale recovery operation led by MI6.
Okay, so with Pokemon heading into its tenth generation, I really think the new game, Pokemon Winds & Waves, needs to shake things up with battles. Pokemon Legends: Arceus and Legends Z-A were steps in the right direction, but I’ve been playing the Like a Dragon series, and they’ve totally nailed how to modernize turn-based combat. Games like Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth and Yakuza: Like a Dragon let you move characters around the battlefield, set up combos, and actually use the environment during fights. It’s not just picking moves from a menu! That kind of dynamic, hybrid approach is exactly what Pokemon Winds & Waves needs to feel fresh and exciting, while still keeping that classic turn-based Pokemon feel we all love.
Reports from Deadline suggest that The Mandalorian and Grogu is expected to earn between $96 and $97 million in the U.S. over the holiday weekend, and could potentially reach $100 million depending on Sunday’s numbers. Globally, the film is projected to earn around $167 million. While this is a better start than initially predicted, it marks the lowest box office opening for a Star Wars film since Disney acquired the franchise.
Get ready for My Royal Nemesis, a funny and fantastical story about Sin Seo Ri, a former royal concubine who was sentenced to death. Now reborn as a struggling actress in the 21st century, she’s determined to make a new life for herself. But things get complicated when she clashes with Cha Se Gye, a powerful and cold businessman. Their rivalry quickly turns into a fiery love-hate relationship that could rewrite history.
Mamoru Hosoda’s latest film, Scarlet, was released last year but has only been available for streaming outside of the US until now. Fortunately, it’s coming to Netflix in the United States on June 6th, as reported by What’s On Netflix. The film launched in some international markets earlier this month.
Nicolas Winding Refn hadn’t directed a film since The Neon Demon until this year, when he premiered his sci-fi thriller Her Private Hell at Cannes. Now, Deadline reports he’s taking on a remake of the 1988 cult horror film Maniac Cop, which is a significant change of pace for the director.
Considering how popular both The Boys and Invincible are, and the fact that both Homelander and Omni-Man are dark twists on the Superman archetype, it’s natural to wonder about a potential crossover. While a TV show crossover is unlikely now that The Boys has finished, many fans may not realize the comics actually had a very subtle connection. A special variant cover for The Boys #18 featured a bloodied hand, which co-creator Darick Robertson later confirmed belonged to Invincible. The comic depicted The Boys killing Invincible, but raises the question of whether that’s how things would really play out.
I’ve been really enjoying Apple TV+, and I’m always a little frustrated when great shows don’t get the attention they deserve. There are already a few hidden gems like Dickinson and The Crowded Room, but I just finished watching the first season of Margo’s Got Money Troubles, and it’s absolutely fantastic – it definitely deserves to be talked about more! It’s quickly become one of my favorites.
Amazon Games recently cancelled its long-in-development Lord of the Rings MMO. Though disappointing for the team who worked on it, it’s likely a good thing the game won’t be released. The next Lord of the Rings game appears to be a different type of RPG, which is probably a better fit for what gamers are looking for right now.
The comic Swamp Thing #37 (1982) is widely known as the first appearance of John Constantine, though there’s some discussion about whether it’s truly his debut. Regardless, this issue marks the first time readers meet him as a character, and it’s a fantastic introduction. Recently, ComicBook acquired a highly-rated 9.6 copy of this iconic comic from Rick’s Comic City in Clarksville, Tennessee – a store famous for its huge selection of both current and older comics. We were fortunate enough to obtain this piece of comic book history from them, and now, thanks to our new Vending Machine, you have a chance to own it too! You can watch ComicBook’s Chris Killian purchasing the comic in the video below.
