Nintendo Officially Comments on Zelda Remake's Divisive Graphics
Nintendo's upcoming remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time looks drastically different from the Nintendo 64 original. That's understandable, given the nearly 28 years that have passed since the first 3D Zelda debuted. Beyond the graphical advancements, however, the Switch 2 remake of Ocarina of Time makes some bold character design choices, some of which have divided longtime Zelda fans.

2024's Best Action Game Is (Mostly) Just as Good in Stunning Switch 2 Port
Shift Up’s Stellar Blade is one of the decade’s great action games, blending together quick-paced sword combat and powerful parries. A sequel is on the way, but before it arrives, Shift Up isn’t done with the first game. It arrives on Nintendo Switch 2 later this week, the latest in a long line of satisfying Switch 2 ports, even if it shares the same issues as most of them.

Daniel Craig's Taut 92-minute Thriller Is Blowing Up on Streaming
Daniel Craig has established himself as one of Hollywood's most reliable leading men, particularly when it comes to action movies and suspenseful thrillers. From his gritty breakout role in Layer Cake to the high-stakes mysteries of Knives Out and The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, Craig has built an impressive filmography outside his best-known role as James Bond.

Jurassic Park Meets Outlast in Terrifying Steam Game Coming Next Week
For some reason, there haven't been that many truly great dinosaur video games throughout history. Ark: Survival Evolved had plenty of success despite the fact it was quite janky, and The Isle has spawned myriad viral videos thanks to its proximity chat. Jurassic World Evolution 3 is by far the best licensed dinosaur game, but it focuses on managing the theme park, as opposed to fighting and surviving.

One of the GameCube’s Great Cult Classics Gets the Remaster It Deserves
When I was a kid, there were some games I only knew through magazines. I never played them, but they were all over the pages of Electronic Gaming Monthly and Nintendo Power, so I knew everything about them anyway. Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee was firmly a “magazine game” when it was released for the GameCube in 2002. I even had a free poster of it on my wall as a kid, one I kept hung up even after a wave of middling reviews eventually dropped.

Luke Skywalker's Single Greatest Star Wars Line Hits Harder Than Any Sci-Fi Quote Since
Since its 2018 debut, Rian Johnson’s The Last Jedi has sparked heated debate over whether it was a fantastic or terrible Star Wars film for Luke Skywalker. Still, whatever your opinion, it’s hard to deny that Johnson’s take on the greatest Jedi ever came with some truly epic quotes. And no, we’re not talking about the zinger, “Amazing. Every word of what you just said was wrong.”

Quentin Tarantino’s First New Movie in 7 Years Officially Arrives in Theaters Next Month
Quentin Tarantino fans have spent the better part of seven years waiting to see what one of the best filmmakers in the industry might do next. Since the Oscar-winning Once Upon a Time in Hollywood hit theaters in 2019, Tarantino has kept himself busy with books, interviews, and plans for what he once described as his final film. That milestone was initially meant to arrive in 2024 with The Movie Critic, but Quentin Tarantino famously shelved the script before production could begin, leaving fans

While Mizora technically does hang out in camp, she does so only on her terms — and when you see her, generally, you want to shove her back into whatever pocket of the Nine Hells she's crawled out of. Unless, of course, you can recrui

10 Best Classic Shooters That Are So Good They Never Need A Remake
The 2000s represented a golden age for shooter games. Both first-person and third-person shooters saw a plethora of all-time classics released across a number of platforms during the aughts, while the immense success of consoles such as the PlayStation 2 and 3 and Xbox 360 helped spearhead the genre's push into the mainstream. More than two decades later, many of those games remain standard-bearers for shooters as a whole.

Penguin Colony was made to 'put the games industry on notice'
The latest game from Origanme Digital (Umurangi Generation) reimagines H.P. Lovecraft's At the Mountains of Madness through the eyes of Antarctica's indigenous inhabitants, transforming a seemingly absurd premise into a deeply personal work of psychological horror. For Tali Faulkner, a Māori developer from New Zealand, the monsters of Penguin Colony aren't nearly as frightening as the real-world atrocities that inspired them.

8 Years Later, a Buffy Star's Obscure Thriller Is Waiting to Be Discovered on Free Streaming
There was a time in the distant past when good things could occasionally come out of Twitter. Back in 2017, novelists Sam Sykes (the Aeons’ Gate series) and Chuck Wendig (Blackbirds, Star Wars: Aftermath) got on the website currently known as X to co-write an improvised horror satire. The result was a firmly tongue-in-cheek deconstruction of slasher movies, concerning Sykes' unnamed character’s new job as a camp counselor and an unfolding massacre in the woods. The story quickly went viral. (Whi
