Naughty Dog first caught the public’s attention with Crash Bandicoot. People came for the cute visuals and lovable mascot, but stayed for the tight controls and imaginative level design. After leaving the bandicoot behind, they made the Jak and Daxter series for the PlayStation 2, a similarly imaginative game with unique characters and atmosphere. It wasn’t until 2007 that they tried for a more mature game with Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune....

Throughout Phase 1 and 2 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, a variety of directors have introduced the core group of heroes who have appeared in The Avengers and Avengers: Age of Ultron. Now, Phase 3 is set to launch with Captain America: Civil War, which will see conflict between two major heroes: Steve Rogers a.k.a. Captain America (Chris Evans) and Tony Stark a.k.a.

Blink and you’ll miss it, but Captain America: The First Avenger is the first MCU movie to hint at the approach of Ragnarok, the Twilight of the Gods as seen in Thor: Ragnarok. In Norse mythology, Ragnarok is the End of Days, an apocalyptic prophecy of terrifying conflict that will see the gods die and the Realms plunge into darkness. There’s a sense in which the impending Ragnarok is the overarching theme of the entire Thor trilogy....

Captain America is unsure if he can lift Mjolnir in official Avengers: Endgame keyframe concept art for a scene that wasn’t in the movie. Marvel Studios’ Avengers: Endgame hit theaters earlier this year, bringing the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Infinity Saga to a close. Since Endgame capped off the Infinity Saga, much of its focus was placed on the original six Avengers, giving them a great deal of screen time. Further, the movie concluded the stories of a few characters, particularly Tony Stark aka....

Channing Tatum could be the latest star to join Universal’s Dark Universe, with the studio setting their sights on him to star in Van Helsing. The Dark Universe has only just begun with The Mummy launching worldwide at the beginning of the summer. Thanks to the stardom of Tom Cruise and his international appeal, the movie is on its way to crossing $400 million globally despite a critical panning. Some of the disinterest in The Mummy was due to the quick world-building it was tasked to incorporate....

Marvel Studios’ recently-unveiled second theatrical trailer for Captain America: Civil War - the film that shall formally kick off Phase 3 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe - has (no surprise) gone over quite well with the Marvel fanbase, thanks to its slick presentation and construction; and of course, the appearance of the new Spider-Man (Tom Holland) at the conclusion. Question is, just how high will the third Captain America movie fly at the box office, when all is said and done?...

Warning: This Post Contains Spoilers For Captain Marvel #1 - Captain Marvel is back with her own title, and this week sees the hero back on Earth, rekindling relationships, rejoining the Avengers, and getting her own protege. Whew! That’s a whole lot for a first day back… (well, a first few weeks, to get technical about it). Until recently, Captain Marvel has been away from the Avengers, New York City, and everything happening on Earth in the Marvel Universe....

With the release of Adi Shankar’s Castlevania on Netflix, an iconic series is finally opening up to a brand new audience. It’s been over 30 years since the original Castlevania title was released on the NES, and the series has grown in a number of ways since that humble beginning. If you’re not as familiar with the Castlevania series as you are with its contemporaries, such as The Legend of Zelda, Metroid and Super Mario Bros, you may be surprised to learn just how big the series actually is....

Star Trek is doing its best to update the franchise for the modern era.

Captain Marvel won’t explicitly set up Guardians of the Galaxy, despite featuring the return of characters like Korath the Pursuer (Djimon Hounsou). The Marvel Cinematic Universe first properly explored the cosmos in James Gunn’s first film, but Brie Larson’s solo movie is set to serve as a stealth prequel for Guardians in some regards. Thanks to the 1995 setting of Captain Marvel, Marvel Studios is using the film’s Kree-Skrull war premise to bring back a handful of familiar characters....

It has been a long road for the superhero genre. The genre found blockbuster success with Superman in the 1978 and Batman in 1989, but didn’t begin to get consistent mainstream attention until the X-Men and Spider-Man franchises raised the bar in the early 2000s. However, before there could be The Dark Knight trilogy or the Marvel cinematic universe, there had to be failed projects as well. In 2003, Fox Studios was looking to build on the success of their burgeoning X-Men franchise and released Daredevil....
