Wes Craven’s The Hills Have Eyes remains a beloved horror film due to its raw, low-budget style and genuinely disturbing atmosphere. So, it was unexpected when Alexandre Aja decided to remake it in 2006. That remake, now considered one of the greatest horror remakes ever made, became available to stream on Tubi on February 1st. The story, much like the original, centers around a family whose camping trip goes horribly wrong when they become stranded in the Nevada desert and are hunted by a brutal, cannibalistic family.

Here is an overview of the game, via its Steam page:

Players who buy the Season 3 Pass will get a five-day head start with each new character, plus a special Aurora Outfit Pack featuring new looks for Jin Kazama, Lili, and Panda. The pass goes on sale February 9th, Pacific Time. And there’s even more coming soon – we’ll have a 2nd Anniversary event next week, followed by a rank reset and gameplay balance changes in mid-March.

The game is currently receiving mostly negative feedback, with only 26% of over 1,185 user reviews recommending it. Many players have noted that the lighting, particularly around the Kubochi River, isn’t great. The developers at RGG Studio have acknowledged the issues and announced they’re releasing a patch on the game’s launch day to fix them.

I believe several DC heroes would be incredibly successful if they joined the Marvel Universe – they wouldn’t just survive, they’d really flourish. In a world focused on advanced science, characters like Plastic Man and Mister Terrific would fit right in. Blue Beetle’s upbeat personality would also make him a natural hero of the people, similar to Spider-Man. Of course, everyone has their own opinions, but I think these 7 DC heroes would particularly shine in the Marvel Universe.

Macaulay Culkin posted on Instagram with a throwback photo from the original Home Alone alongside a picture of him and Catherine O’Hara reuniting recently.

A live-action Naruto movie produced by Hollywood has been in development since 2017, and it’s now moving closer to becoming a reality. Recent updates include a new director and writer, all with the approval of the series creator. According to industry insider DanielRPK, filming is expected to begin later this year.

Many episodes of The X-Files were inspired by real-life events, demonstrating that truth can often be more bizarre than what you find in fictional stories.

The Avengers have consistently been a challenge for game developers. While many games explore the broader Marvel Universe, titles specifically centered on the core Avengers team haven’t reached the same level of success as other popular Marvel games. Surprisingly, one of the best Avengers games remains Lego Marvel’s Avengers, released in 2016. Its simple and enjoyable gameplay, characteristic of the Lego series, underscores the difficulties developers have faced when focusing solely on the Avengers over the years.
