48 Years Later, the Underrated Thriller That Made Hannibal Lecter Possible Is Finally Getting Its Due

As a big film buff, I find it fascinating how the Hannibal Lecter stories came to be. Most people know him from the films and the TV show, and Thomas Harris wrote four novels featuring the character between 1981 and 2006 – all of which have been adapted for the screen, sometimes more than once! But what’s really interesting is that none of that would have happened without his very first novel, Black Sunday, and the movie version that came out in 1977. It was that story that really launched the whole Hannibal universe as we know it.

Okay, so a lot of us gamers are starting to worry about Xbox. There was a ton of talk a few months back that they might just stop making consoles altogether – I even heard stories about stores pulling them off the shelves!

Today marks the 25th anniversary of the first SpongeBob SquarePants Christmas special, “Christmas Who?”, which premiered on December 7, 2000.

This Game Might Be the Most Clever FPS Nobody Played

Prey is a remarkably smart shooter that somehow didn’t get the attention it deserved. From the very beginning, it’s intriguing and makes you think about what’s actually happening. It doesn’t rush you into action; instead, it encourages you to explore, experiment, and understand the world around you. Even now, years after its release, Prey feels fresh, bold, and more intelligent than many modern shooters. It’s a subtle game, but one that truly deserves to be recognized.
