AMC’s new drama Dark Winds, based on Tony Hillerman’s bestselling series of buddy-cop mystery novels set on a Navajo reservation in New Mexico, is not the first television attempt at the property. Twenty years ago, PBS made a trio of TV-movies adapted from Hillerman’s books, starring Wes Studi as veteran detective Joe Leaphorn and Adam Beach as his young partner Jim Chee. While it was exciting to see an under-represented group at the center of a familiar genre, it was also a sign of Hollywood’s limited imagination when it…

The following contains spoilers for Episode 2 of the BioShock Infinite DLC Burial at Sea. Proceed at your own risk. It’s like I’m really there One of the things I love about games is how much they lean into genre fiction. Games have never been afraid to lean hard into sci-fi, fantasy, westerns, apocalypse stories, and so on. This means we get a lot of stories that stand out with their unique characters, mechanics, and lore, but one of my favorite aspects of games has to be how settings take on a whole personality of…

If you got a problem, yo, I’ll solve it… Well I’ll be durned, I was sure that last week’s explosive “Launcher” trailer was the last character trailer we’d be seeing for Nexon’s upcoming scrapper DNF Duel — and yet the funky looking fighter keeps on giving with a brand new video revealing the gun-toting, swooneriffic desperado, Troubleshooter. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7luVBKogBKk As you can see from the above video, Troubleshooter is another DNF Duel firearms user, though has more of an old west, gunslinger…

Capcom is developing this game on the RE Engine, which has been previously used for titles like Resident Evil 7, Resident Evil Village, and Devil May Cry 5. In addition, the Street Fighter 6 gameplay trailer was also released that showcases the unique art style of the new Street Fighter game. The trailer reveals two new game modes and…

The Boys season 3, set to debut this week on Amazon Prime Video, marks the return of some highly polarising characters — from Karl Urban's Billy Butcher to Antony Starr's Homelander — who were last seen setting our screens on fire in 2020 when the previous instalment ended with a brutal and bold final episode. While most plot details are under wraps, pretty much all promotional material released so far points to this being bolder and bloodier than the previous instalments. It might also lay the groundwork for the rumoured…

MultiVersus developer Player First Games has said it would be up for adding in characters from other fighting games if the community wanted it as well. Player First Games co-founder Chris White told NME the studio is “open to a lot of things,” as long as it feels “right for the community”. This could mean that similar fighting games like Super Smash Bros. and Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl could see their characters land in MultiVersus if everyone involved wanted to do it. “I think that leaves, from our perspective, the…

Kevin Feige is constantly walking a delicate tightrope in trying to offer everything to everyone all at once, but it’s difficult to deny that he’s been…
