If the difference between a cult and a religion is the number of members it has, then after the 1,116 casualties they’ve racked up in the past few days of me playing Far Cry 5, the Project at Eden’s Gate will probably never be able to file for that coveted tax-exempt status. That’s a big body count, which is fitting, as Far Cry 5 is one of the biggest open-world games I’ve played in a while in terms of the amount of things to do. After five days of play my story progress sits at 57%, and the online component, Far Cry Arcade, has just gone live for reviewers, so I haven’t even had a chance to jump into that mode yet. Hence this review is still in progress until I put more time into it, but here’s what I think so far.

A New Street Fighter TV Show Is In The Works, Aims To Be “Inclusive And Engaging”
A TV show based on Capcom’s Street Fighter franchise is on the way. Media company Entertainment One is producing and financing the show, which is being developed by the same team that made the live-action internet series Street Fighter: Assassin’s Fist.
According to Deadline, the new TV show will focus on Street Fighter’s “World Warrior” story, focusing on four main characters: Ryu, Ken, Guile, and Chun-Li.
“Together, they fight to take down M. Bison, the evil mastermind who runs Shadaloo, a global criminal organization,” reads a line from the show’s description. “Though on different journeys, our heroes’ paths will cross as they are drawn into the World Warrior Tournament, a competition devised by M. Bison to find the most powerful and capable fighter in the world. On the journey they come to share, they must draw on their strength, skills, intelligence and loyalty in a battle to survive and emerge as the World Warrior.”
eOne president Mark Gordon said part of what makes Street Fighter appealing to a wide audience is its diverse cast of characters. “A particular strength of Street Fighter is the wide range of ethnically diverse characters and powerful women featured in the game,” he said. “It will allow us to build an inclusive and engaging TV universe.”
For his part, Street Fighter series producer Yoshinori Ono said Capcom arrived at eOne after “long search” for the right partner. According to Ono, eOne has “the credentials to help us launch a faithful adaptation of Street Fighter as a major TV series.”
As mentioned, Assassin’s Fist creator Joey Ansah is returning for the new show. Producers Jacqueline Quella and Mark Wooding from Assassin’s Fist are back as well. There is no word yet as to who will star in the show or when it will premiere, or where.
The Street Fighter series has a history of transmedia efforts. Jean-Claude Van Damme starred in the 1994 movie Street Fighter, while 2009’s Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li starred Oscar nominee Michael Clarke Duncan, Kristin Kreuk, Chris Klein, and Neal McDonough.
The next Street Fighter game is a compilation package called Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection, which comes out in May for PS4, Xbox One, and Switch, as well as PC. According to Capcom’s public data, the Street Fighter franchise has sold 40 million copies across 84 titles since the series debuted in 1987.
Why I Still Play Chrono Trigger Today
There have been some absolutely brilliant video games released over the last few years. I’ve battled on the streets of Numbani, I’ve scoured the ruins of Libertalia, and I’ve explored far and wide across Hyrule. And yet, as memorable as those experiences are, I still find myself going back to a title that’s over two decades old: Chrono Trigger. To some, it is an old game that was recently given a sub-par release on Steam; to me though, it is a deeply nostalgic experience and the most important video game ever.
Chrono Trigger is a reminder of my adolescence, and a game in which I see countless little parallels to the life I once lived in a rural Australian town. The very beginning, for instance, in which Crono is woken by his mother so he wouldn’t miss the Millennial Fair, takes me back to how excited I would be when my mum told me that the annual amusement park show was finally in town.

The Walking Dead Keeps the Action and Gore Flowing as Hilltop Gets Attacked
Warning: Full spoilers for the episode below.
Even though there was no direct follow up with regards to Negan’s fate (yup, I could sure go for a big Negan backstory fill-in right about now), “Do Not Send Us Astray” kept things lively, maintaining the action-adventure pace of last week’s “The Key” with an all-out attack on the Hilltop – which included Negan’s bio-warfare plan actually being put into practice!
Before I pan for gold here though, let’s address the Henry in the room.
Uggggh Henry. Unfortunately, young kids in TV crisis situations can apparently only be A: boring, or B: massive mistake makers. Either way it means you’re either indifferent to them or you hate them. I wish someone could crack this particular code because it’s a real bummer.
