Resident Evil director Zach Cregger says early test audiences loved the movie, but thought it was way too funny for a straight-up horror movie. “I learned that people really liked the movie, but they thought it was too funny.

The Legend of Zelda 40th Anniversary edition of the Switch 2 was pretty and sold out – in other words, a prime target for scalping. But don’t let the scalpers win. Nintendo just confirmed it’s restocking the fancy Zelda Switch 2 in the UK. Worldwide, unscrupulous resellers have been driving up the special console’s price […]
