In a world where your greatest adversaries fire pistols, rifles, and other firearms, Tizo wields a simple bow and arrow, or “arco,” as the Iyo culture calls it. It is a deadly, capable weapon, but arrows are hopelessly outclassed by bullets, especially in a fight with multiple guns in play. Yet in the face of merciless killers and overwhelming odds, the only way forward is to fight back with whatever tools are at your disposal. Arco’s thrilling, compelling story enthralled me with its seamless blend of gameplay and narrative. The dialogue is sharply written and the combat is carefully tuned,…
Welcome to the MCU’s Mutant Era. On March 26, Marvel Studios confirmed the cast of Avengers: Doomsday in a live stream video on the company’s YouTube page. Every 10 to 12 minutes, an actor’s chair is revealed, signaling their inclusion in the fifth Avengers film. One of the biggest takeaways from the live stream is the additions of the X-Men. Actors reprising their X-Men characters for Doomsday include Patrick Stewart as Charles Xavier/Professor X, Ian McKellen as Erik Lensherr/Magneto, Kelsey Grammer as Dr. Hank McCoy/Beast, Alan Cumming as Kurt Wagner/Nightcrawler, Rebecca Romijn as Raven Darkhölme/Mystique, James Marsden as Scott Summers/Cyclops, and Channing Tatum…
The Madden NFL franchise is often criticized for its stagnation. With no real competition to speak of, it’s easy to see how one could conclude that the development team is resting on its laurels, opting for short-yardage plays that are all but guaranteed to move the ball forward rather than trying to stretch the field with higher risk play calls. Madden NFL 25 is undoubtedly an improvement over its predecessor, but at this point, it feels like a .500 team from last year taking home an extra win or two to barely earn a winning record this season. Stepping up…
Table of Contents Table of Contents What to expect How to watch The moon will be passing in front of the sun on Saturday in a phenomenon known as a “partial solar eclipse.” As the name suggests, it means that unlike a total solar eclipse, a part of the sun will still be visible, but the spectacle is still worth enjoying if you’re in a location from where it can be viewed. Those places include parts of North America, Europe, Africa, northern Asia, small parts of South America, throughout Greenland and Iceland, as well as much of the Atlantic and…
Star Wars is in a strange place. It began as a dedicated film and left an enduring mark on the industry. Today, it is more of an ongoing collection of television shows on Disney’s online subscription streaming service. Thankfully, the video game side of Star Wars still represents the kind of experience I personally want from one of my favorite childhood franchises – one that I only check in on every few years for a big, bold, blockbuster adventure. Outlaws does not fully live up to the excitement of only getting to see a Star Wars movie every few years,…
Table of Contents Table of Contents Night Raiders (2021) Snakehead (2021) Agnes (2021) She Will (2021) Toni Morrison: The Pieces I Am (2019) For Hulu subscribers, it’s a good thing that only a trickle of movies are leaving at the end of March. In fact, there are literally only three movies exiting Hulu on March 31. Of that trio, we can only recommend Night Raiders and Snakehead. That’s why we’ve had to dip into the movies leaving Hulu in April to fill out the rest of the five movies you need to watch before the end of March. We’ll be…
Dead By Daylight, the asymmetrical multiplayer horror game, has long rewarded players’ dedication and love for the genre with dozens of additional killers, maps, and more. Though much of the game’s expansion has been anchored in no-brainer IP like Halloween, Scream, and Resident Evil, developer Behaviour Interactive has also done a great job building its universe with original ideas. Its biggest attempt yet to expand the game’s reach arrived with The Casting of Frank Stone, a single-player adventure game set in the Dead By Daylight universe. However, despite horror-adventure veteran developer Supermassive Games developing it, The Casting of Frank Stone…
I’ve been thinking of upgrading our 2017 LG 4K C7 OLED TV for a while now. Not that there’s anything wrong with it. It still performs as well as the day I bought it. But I’m ready for something bigger and brighter. As someone who is absolutely sold on the benefits of OLED, I’ve been primarily looking at models from LG, Sony, and Samsung. These brands dominate the list of the best OLED TVs. In theory, it wouldn’t matter which one I chose — there are no losers in this category. Still, I tend to get a little FOMO when it…
Astro Bot has done a lot to prop up Sony’s recent hardware efforts. Astro Bot: Rescue Mission successfully demonstrated PlayStation’s creative potential in virtual reality in 2018. Astro’s Playroom launched as a pack-in with the PlayStation 5 in 2020, offering entertaining examples of the console’s haptic feedback features. Now, instead of only serving the hardware, Astro Bot gets to go into business for himself by fully showcasing his platforming prowess. This third act is a monumental success, rivaling and, in some aspects, even exceeding Mario’s finest platforming outings. If you played Astro’s Playroom, consider it a proof-of-concept for Astro Bot.…
There’s a lot to say about the differences between paper books and ePaper books. Paper books give us extra senses of touch and book-depth to increase memory, and (I think) even Digital Trends writers are allowed to say that the time away from a screen is pretty great. But what if there was a paper-saving, super notetaking, and even discounted eBook that was debatably better than a regular physical book? Well, then we’d have to talk about it. The latest Amazon Kindle Scribe is one of the best eReaders for notetakers, and you can get one with 64GB of storage…
