Naughty Dog then decided to release this as a stand alone spin-off of the series. With Nathan Drake’s story ending in A Thief’s End, Lost Legac...[Read More]
Yakuza Kiwami is a complete remake of the original Yakuza, but also a sort of sequel to the recent prequel, Yakuza 0 (that was a mouthful). The original game was released over a decade ago in 2005, and has now been built from scratch with the Yakuza 0 engine. While remakes are going to implement a sense of nostalgia for fans of the original game, this remake also serves as a continuation to the fr...[Read More]
Well, apparently we are getting a video game based on the Planet of the Apes series. Did anyone really ask for this?

If there’s one film that I’m most excited for this year, it’s the new adaptation of Stephen King’s IT. While I’m extremely excited, I’m also pretty nervous for this upcoming film as Stephen King’s horror epic is one of the greatest works of literature I’ve ever experienced. For anyone who’s read the novel knows that this story is much more than...[Read More]
It’s very rare for a trilogy nowadays in just about any medium to come around and absolutely nail it from beginning to end. When the original Rise of the Planet of the Apes was announced, it was met with much skepticism as we all had that sour taste in our mouths from the Tim Burton remake.
