Tommy Wirkola’s new shark thriller, Thrash, is coming to Netflix on April 10th after a long wait. While similar to his previous film with a natural disaster, Thrash features a hurricane unleashing a swarm of deadly sharks on a city.

Similar to how boxing inspires character designs, wrestling characters are often based on famous real-life wrestlers. For instance, Alex from the Street Fighter series draws inspiration from “heels” – the villainous, yet popular, characters seen in professional wrestling like WWE.

Hamster Corp is bringing the classic shoot ’em up game Sonic Wings Special to PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch on March 12th as part of their “Console Archives” series.

Thankfully, even the best video game series usually only have a few weak installments among many excellent ones. But even the most popular franchises sometimes have games that just don’t measure up – they either fail badly or feel completely out of place. It’s always fascinating to figure out what went wrong with these games, why they stand out from the rest, or even why they’re so bad, and to see if they offer any value at all, even if it’s just a little.
Some comic book crossovers are just really odd. While these strange team-ups don’t necessarily make for bad stories or comics, the initial concept can be quite bizarre. You’ll find everything from sci-fi favorites joining forces with the X-Men to soap opera characters gaining superpowers. Here are five of the strangest crossovers that actually came to life.
We’ve got a new look at the game, and it strongly suggests this sequel will be as good as, or even better than, Returnal.
At first, Toxic Commando lived up to expectations. Developed by Focus Entertainment and published by Saber Interactive, the game quickly gets you into the action, emphasizing teamwork and survival against relentless waves of enemies. It truly captures the core elements of the genre, creating a constant, desperate fight for survival.
