They Will Kill You is the perfect movie for Ready Or Not fans

As someone who watches a lot of film and TV, I’ve found the only way to be surprised is to go in knowing as little as possible. A lack of surprise doesn’t necessarily affect enjoyment, however. There’s a certain joy in recognizing familiar tropes and pinpointing them on screen as the story continues, to the point that when the credits roll, you’re left satisfied. It’s in recognizing these narrative beats that you find it so much more satisfying when the unpredictable…

Overwatch’s New Hero Is Hot For A Reason, Not To Be Gooner Bait, Devs Say

Overwatch's next season, Into the Tiger's Den, has officially kicked off, and brings with it a new, hyper-violent femme fatale in Shion.  As the first playable, female Omnic in Overwatch history--and a hard-hitting glass cannon with impressive mobility--Shion presents exciting opportunities in regards to both gameplay and Overwatch's current story arc, Reign of Talon. Through her hero trailer, we were offered a brief look at Talon's latest recruit, and what we discovered is certainly enough to classify her as a major…

It looks like we’ll have to wait just a little bit longer for the truth. In a recent press release, Disney announced that, on June 11, it would debut a new director’s cut of the 2008 movie The X-Files: I Want to Believe on Disney Plus. But as of June 16, I Want to Believe is no longer listed on that press release, and it’s still not on the streamer, either. Don't worry, though, Polygon can confirm that it's still coming,…

Nintendo Switch update finally fixes eShop bug fans complained about for 9 years

If you own a Switch, you might want to charge the console and get it connected to the internet ASAP. The latest patch for the portable system is not one of those disappointing updates that vaguely promises to improve system stability. Version 22.5.0 actually fixes something that Nintendo should have addressed back in 2017, when the Switch was originally released.

But recent reports surrounding The Batman Part II are beginning to pick up steam, and while none of them should be taken as fact just yet, they offer a compelling glimpse into what Reeves may have…
