22 years later, we finally know why Alfonso Cuarón left the Harry Potter franchise after The Prisoner of Azkaban

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban is widely considered to be one of the best outings of the entire franchise, and a lot of that is down to the vision that Alfonso Cuarón brought to the franchise. The auteur, who is also behind films like Y tu mamá también, Gravity, and Children of Men, […]
2019Viz Media is launching all 24 Pokemon movies into one Blu-ray collection shaped like a Poke Ball, but you’ll need $400 to catch them all

Viz Media’s new Pokemon: 24-Movie Collection is a Blu-ray behemoth. The collection was announced on the brand’s X (Twitter) page today and encompasses every single Pokemon movie on a set of 16 Blu-ray discs. From Pokemon the First Movie and even its CGI remake, Pokemon: Mewtwo Strikes Back Evolution, you’re getting all of the franchise’s […]
2019As if TCG scarcity wasn’t bad enough already, an accessory maker just introduced a chase edition binder

It goes without saying that TCG availability is dire across the board right now, but it seems as though there’s no escaping this card game rat race; even an accessory company is adding chase editions for its latest binder. Revealed on Twitter/X, accessory maker Vault X has announced that it’s celebrating its 30 year anniversary […]
2019Resident Evil Requiem is “way too scary” says Resident Evil 2 director Hideki Kamiya, who’d rather Capcom put paper bags over all the enemies’ heads: “It’s not a joke”

Hideki Kamiya, legendary Capcom veteran behind gems including Resident Evil 2, thinks newer games from the studio like Resident Evil Requiem are… too scary? Yes, indeed, Kamiya finds games like Capcom’s more recent Resident Evil entries a tad too spooky for his tastes, as per a recent interview with VGC. First declaring that “this is […]
2019Silent Hill Townfall’s atmosphere is spot-on, but slow-burn terrors leave a tepid first impression

St Amelia is where dreams go to die. Not unlike many other British towns, I think. I can tell as much as soon as I wash up on the shores of Silent Hill Townfall’s Scottish-coded (though never stated outright) island, where fog sinks into the spaces between each cobblestone. I’ve lived in the UK full-time […]
2019Lego Skylines’ blend of city building and Lego click-clack needs to be heard to be believed

The second Lego Skylines was announced, I could hear it. That click-clack of speed-building Lego sets has become synonymous with cozy joy for kids and grown-ups alike, particularly on a rainy Sunday afternoon. Lego Skylines takes the kind of setup you see in the dad’s basement in The Lego Movie and takes it city-wide, putting […]
2019Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis isn’t classic Lara Croft, but it manages to dodge the worst excesses of modern action game hand-holding

Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis has an unenviable task before it. Reimagining a 30-year-old game for a modern audience is no mean feat, but in a genre that has moved on so far and with a heroine who has become such an icon, the line that must be threaded between the new and the old […]
2019As it arrives on Disney Plus, I still think releasing The Mandalorian and Grogu in theaters was the right move for Star Wars

The Mandalorian and Grogu are coming home. Four months after the Star Wars film brought the saga back to the big screen for the first time in seven years, the Razor Crest is touching down on Disney Plus this September 2. The film arrived a lengthy three years after its (less well-received) third season and […]
2019Nvidia says it’s only targeting “photorealistic” games with DLSS 5, but am I the only one who thinks “realistic” visuals are worse?

Back in the 2010s, it felt like we were witnessing a race to the most “realistic” graphics possible. As consumer hardware and game dev tools got more powerful, the piss filter faded into obscurity as lens flare, more detailed textures, and a push to make the most of next-gen gaming PCs came to the fore.
