One of the most important criteria for most video games is the weapon selection available to players. After all, when faced with dangerous enemies and strong bosses, players need to have the proper tools to succeed in their objectives. When it comes to weapons, there are several varieties to choose from. There are those ranging from close quarters to long range, and even those with a balance between the two. From bladed weapons like knives, swords, axes, and spears, to projectile-based weapons such as pistols, shotguns, as well as crossbows; there are practically an infinite number of weapons to choose from in video games....

With rumors about the Cupertino company readying the next generation of high-end MacBooks for as early as this fall, Kuo has some thoughts on it. On his Twitter, the analyst posted: Last month, Bloomberg‘s Mark Gurman reported that the new M2 Pro and M2 Max MacBook Pro are already in the works....

Fantastic Four, Marvel’s first family and the first creation of the Silver Age dream team of Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, is often heralded as one of the greatest comic book series of all time. Created in 1961, many reviewers and aficionados agree that Fantastic Four established a benchmark in comic book storytelling for the modern era. It’s influenced many of the great comic writers of our time. It was considered innovative for its time for introducing superpowered heroes with very human failings....

Now is certainly the time to be alive for superhero fans, as multiple superhero movies are now released every year.

This year introduces 10 new superhero movies theatrically, ranging from Marvel Studios movies like Black Panther and Avengers: Infinity War to DC movies like Aquaman and Teen Titans Go!...

The time has come for the Hollywood Foreign Press Association to reveal the winners in film and television for the 2019 Golden Globes Awards Ceremony. Traditionally, the annual January awards show serves as a precursor to events like the Oscars and Emmys in the months to follow. Some years, of course, the majority of Golden Globes winners go on to dominate the remainder of a particular awards season, while in other years they’re the exceptions and not the rule....

Identifying what works and what doesn’t in Age of Wonders: Planetfall is difficult to do based a brief gameplay demo, but from what we got to try at E3 2019, it seems the latest installment in the Age of Wonders series is on the right path. But don’t mistake this game for Age of Wonders IV, as it has more in common with a spinoff title than a full-fledged sequel. It’s a great thing, though, as Age of Wonders: Planetfall’s sci-fi setting is just what the series needs....

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’s 2015 Fall Finale, ‘Maveth’, airs next week (at the time of writing this) and will bring the initial half of a season full of exciting storylines concerning Inhumans, HYDRA operatives, and mysterious portals to other planets to a temporary resting spot. Agent Carter shall take S.H.I.E.L.D.’s Tuesday evening spot while the latter goes on its mid-season break - and the second season of Peggy Carter’s solo adventures aims to maintain the pace established by its Marvel/ABC series predecessor of late, at the same time....

The second half of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. season 3 was centered for the most part on the resurrected Grant Ward, following his dead body becoming host to the Inhuman known as Hive. Given that ABC already had Brett Dalton in place as Ward, it makes sense that the Hive’s true from wasn’t part of the weekly adventures of Agent Coulson and his team. And, from a purely budgetary standpoint, it makes sense to eventually phase out what little makeup was put on Dalton to give him that slightly zombified look and to pull out all the stops with an emaciated chest piece just in case anyone thought he might get better....

With a successful AirPods line, it’s only natural for users to wonder when Apple will release a new generation of the AirPods, AirPods Pro, and AirPods Max. Head below as we round up the latest rumors on when expecting a new version of each of these products… When Apple will launch a new AirPods Max? For the high-end AirPods Max model, which was released by the end of 2020, Apple has no plans to release a second generation yet....

One of the finest aspects from the Game of Thrones universe that captivated the minds of viewers was its enormous attention to detail. Every time a new city was visited in Westeros or abroad, audience members would be subject to a new style of building architecture, different climates, unique styles of clothing and even new languages formulated by the crew behind the show, for example, Dothraki and High Valyrian. While viewers were treated to an array of breathtaking landscapes and bustling urban environments, there are still a number of mystical locations on the continents of Essos and Sothoryos that are yet to be discovered....

The series Hell on Wheels gets its name from a town built for workers of the first Transcontinental Railroad in the United States. This little town was called Hell on Wheels. The dramatic show portrays the lives of the workers, prostitutes, surveyors and families living in Hell on Wheels at the time of the railroad’s construction and is filled with mystery, drama, and suspense. It could be argued the convincing cast of characters is one of the main reasons the show has been so successful, as they are the ones who bring the thrilling inter-woven narratives of the series to life....

As much as we hate to think about it, the end of Game of Thrones is coming. HBO dropped a first look preview earlier this month and there will be a real trailer for season 8 at… some point. We still have four months until the final season airs, but that doesn’t mean we’re not all still thinking about the inevitable conclusion and the emptiness in our lives to follow. Game of Thrones first premiered in April of 2011 and after eight years of crying and agonizing over the show’s twists and turns, here we are, almost at its end....

Along with Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man, the X-Men franchise is long credited with the recent revival of the superhero genre. Bryan Singer’s first foray into the mythos with 2000’s X-Men combined a light-hearted feel with complicated themes that showcased many mutants and their abilities, making for a fun, yet adult, superhero movie. With the current saturation of the market, Fox and their X-Men franchise is being largely overshadowed by the powerhouse Marvel Cinematic Universe....

As the Marvel Cinematic Universe keeps busting its own all-time records and expanding to unforeseeable heights, one thing has remained the same: fan speculation. Fans are not shy about letting their imagination loose when it comes to the MCU. Every frame is an opportunity to find an Easter egg. Every line is a potential motive for bringing characters back to the franchise. Thinking back, many of these fan theories turned out to be correct, while others were squashed ruthlessly by newer Marvel installments....

Last Saturday marked the 20th anniversary of the original release of the first Pokémon Gameboy game in Japan and the birth of a franchise, which has continued to be popular until the present day. Alongside video games, The Pokémon craze of the late ‘90s spawned a hugely popular cartoon television series which continues to this day, along with over a dozen feature-length movies, a collectible trading card game, and so many toys, comics and other merchandise that it’s impossible for any fan to live up to Pokémon’s motto and truly “catch ‘em all....

When Robert Kirkman and Dave Erickson set upon the task to create the first television spin-off of The Walking Dead, they knew whatever they created would have to shine brightly in order to escape the shadow of the original series. Last August, Kirkman confidently called Fear the Walking Dead a “great appetizer” for season six of the original series. And while he promised that fans would love this show as much as they love TWD, the final product seemed to fall well short of the expectations of many....

The movie accomplished things no other movie could do in two hours. It made us feel for the villain, for the heroes, and for the fate of the entire cinematic universe. However, in order to evoke those emotions, it also had to leave us in the dust....
