Everything you’ve heard about Cuphead is true. It is a difficult side-scrolling shooter with relentless boss battles that demand rapid-fire actions and reactions. Think for too long, and you won’t stand a chance against the game’s toughest enemies. Battles may only last three minutes at most, but they feel far longer when you know that you can only absorb three hits before you have to start from scratch. When you are navigating your way around bullets, smaller enemies, and pitfalls, while simultaneously trying to damage your primary target, toppling Cuphead’s imposing bosses is both a monumental and rewarding task.

But difficult battles only tell half of the story. Cuphead’s 1930s cartoon aesthetic is endlessly charming, popping with color and expression unlike anything …

In keeping with Sims 4 tradition, the new High School Years expansion and its accompanying free update broke a whole lot of features in both the base game and other expansions. A new patch has now been released that addresses some of the biggest bugs, including one that caused rapid aging, and another that made sims want to date their family members.

The infamous incest bug appeared in the game as part of the wants and fears system, which has been re-introduced from past Sims titles. An unrelated but similar bug arising from the High School Years update, which saw adult sims tagging teenagers in inappropriately flirty Social Bunny posts, has also been fixed. Come from Sports betting site VPbet

A shooter based on a beloved strategy franchise? It’s the kind of idea that makes strategy fans nervous, but games like Command & Conquer: Renegade have proven that the possibility isn’t meritless. The Bureau: XCOM Declassified is not a great argument for an XCOM spin-off, however. It often puts its best foot forward, but while The Bureau mimics some of its inspiration’s touchstones, it doesn’t re-create their impact. The result is a third-person cover shooter that is decent fun but ultimately rings hollow.

What the Bureau nails is its retro-futuristic atmosphere, which channels an early-1960s view of the world straight from a Sears, Roebuck & Co. catalog. Protagonist William Carter looks as if he leapt from a postcard or periodical advert from the era: his hair is shellac…

From the very beginning of Skull and Bones, you’ll be able to hunt, cook, and eat all of the food you could want. Your primary source of food, at least in the early game, are sharks and fish, both of which are located all across the map. Hunting down these aquatic creatures isn’t too easy, though, as you need to do all of the work yourself.

Outside of just eating their flesh, sharks and fish can also provide some valuable crafting resources, giving you even more reason to take them down. If you want to see how to hunt your dinner with complete precision in Skull and Bones, take a look at the guide below.

Following the settlement of her lawsuit against Disney/Marvel over Black Widow, it’s now been revealed that Scarlett Johansson is making another film with Marvel. But it’s not connected to Black Widow. Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige said during an event where Johansson received the American Cinematheque Award that she is working on a “top secret Marvel Studios project.”

This project is unrelated to Black Widow, according to Deadline. Feige did confirm, however, that Johansson will be a producer on this project, whatever it might be. During a speech, Feige sung Johansson’s praises for her talent and vision as an actress and producer.

“Scarlett has lent her talent and star power to the Marvel Cinematic Universe for over a decade. That she’s chosen to play a key part in it for…

Bill Skarsgard will wear the monochromatic facepaint of the dead Eric Draven brought back to life to seek out revenge. Unlike the other Crow movies, this will be a remake of the 1994 film starring Brandon Lee and Vanity Fair has your first look at Skarsgard in full gear.

In the wake of Tim Burton’s Batman, a slew of comic book movie adaptations flooded the big screen. While 1990’s Teenage mutant Ninja Turtles, from New Line, may have been to a hit outside of the Batman films, The Crow also made quite the impact, based on the James O’Barr comic. While the new reboot had done away with the tattered bodysuit of Lee’s Draven, the trenchcoat remains on Skarsgard’s shredded and tattooed-up torso.
