The Walking Dead Needs an Adrenaline Boost
The big selling point with The Walking Dead these past few years has its perpetual sense of unpredictability. Ever since the conclusion of “All Out War,” the lines between good and evil have blurred significantly. The series is no longer just a story of survival, but one of humanity returning from the brink and trying to restore civilization in a world where the dead still roam. But that unpredictability can only carry the book so far. At some point The Walking Dead needs a clear, lasting conflict to take shape. And even after all these months, the Commonwealth storyline is failing to achieve that goal.
Disney Reportedly Unlikely to Rehire James Gunn
Disney is reportedly unlikely to rehire James Gunn as the director of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, which may cause the movie to be postponed.
Variety reports Disney won’t change its decision to fire Gunn after a series of older offensive tweets from the filmmaker recently surfaced. This is despite the Guardians cast recently issuing an open letter supporting Gunn.
MoviePass CEO Issues Apology, Promises Changes
MoviePass has had a rough go of it as of late, with the movie subscription service suffering widespread outages last week followed by questions about it potentially going out of business. But in a letter to subscribers, CEO Mitch Lowe issued an apology and promised that changes are on the way.
Lowe said his first priority was issuing a personal apology “for the inconsistencies and unreliability” subscribers have had to deal with as of late. He added that he regrets a failure to address these issues sooner but promised that changes were already in place to help MoviePass continue offering its theater-going subscription service.
F’ Batman?! All the Other Times Batman and Robin Broke Up
Batman and Robin may have the single most iconic partnership in the superhero world, but their relationship isn’t all sunshine and roses. Take the new trailer for the live-action Titans series, for example. When Robin isn’t smashing his boot of justice into evil’s neck, he’s shocking audiences everywhere by saying “F*** Batman!”
That may be a particularly extreme case of Batman and Robin’s relationship turning sour, but there’s definitely a precedent here. Between his antisocial personality and his habit of letting sidekicks die on the job, Batman has had quite a few nasty breakups over the years. Here are the most memorable cases in DC’s comics, TV shows and movies.
Beyond Ep. 553: Is God of War’s Final Easter Egg Satisfying?
BEYOND!
This week on IGN’s #1 PlayStation show, host Jonathon Dornbush and panelists Casey DeFritas, Tom Marks, and Mark Medina discuss how they feel about God of War’s official final Easter egg being discovered, and the intrepid players’ search for it, as well as Spider-Man for PS4 going gold, and whether the concept of a game having “gone gold” holds the same weight it used to.
Mario Tennis Aces Was June 2018’s Top-Selling Game, God of War Comes in Second
June 2018 saw an exceptionally strong period of growth in the industry, with spending across hardware, software and accessory sales up 25 percent from 2017.
According to the June 2018 NPD report, Mario Tennis Aces for the Switch was the best-selling game of June, and God of War for the PS4 continues to sell strong in second place, making it the tenth best-selling game of the last twelve months.
Speaking to IGN via email, NPD Group’s Mat Piscatella reaffirmed a sentiment Sony shared earlier this year — that God of War is the PS4’s fastest-selling exclusive. However, he went on to say that after three months God of War, according to NPD data, is actually the fastest selling PlayStation exclusive since tracking began in 1995. The previous record-holder was The Last of Us.
Madden NFL 19 Review
Madden NFL 19 keeps its focus where it belongs: its moment-to-moment gameplay. This year’s entry comes with the promise of improved player motion, a more intimate franchise experience, and the return of two hometown heroes as the Longshot story continues with a new chapter.
But does Madden ‘19 have the balance needed to stay between the uprights and keep both newcomers and long-time Madden fans happy? In short: Yes, yes it does.
In a surprisingly – yet welcomed – straight-forward call, Real Player Motion is touted as the marquee gameplay enhancement and allows more control in game-changing situations. In year two of the series’ move to the Frostbite engine, it’s apparent the development team is learning how to maximize the technology.
