As Bethesda was wrapping up its E3 2018 press conference, it graced us with a pair of big reveals. The first of which, which we will be discussing here, is Starfield, their first new game franchise in 25 years. It was a very soft reveal, mind you. The build-up was more interesting than the payoff. This […]

A new Wolfenstein game was revealed at Bethesda's E3 2018 press conference.

But a short Scribblenauts Unleashed: A DC Comics Adventure clip shown at E3 by Nintendo, appeared to highlight the much-neglected-of-late Stephanie Brown. Or rather Scary Stephanie Brown. Here are some screencaps as proof. I hope Dan DiDio wasn't drinking a foamy cup of coffee […]

If you are a fan who has been saying for years that Street Fighter deserves a live action adaption made by people who actually care, now is your chance to put your money where your mouth is.

I have never played Dead Island, but from what I […]
