So all by themselves, the Morbius post-credits scenes are bizarre. But then comes the kicker. When our dear Dr. Michael Morbius asks how he got here, Vulture responds, “I’m not sure, but I think it has something to do with Spider-Man.” Now consider for a moment that Morbius, a movie which is tacitly confirmed to take place in the same universe as Tom Hardy’s Venom pictures (more on that below), has never once mentioned Spider-Man....

Developers and publishers might call it the plague of the gaming industry but the second hand market for games is as thriving as ever, despite the increased prevalence and importance of digital game purchases.

Nintendo has dominated the Japanese sales chart in the week leading up to the holiday season, with 29 of the 30 games belonging to the Switch. 2020 was a huge year for Nintendo in terms of sales.

Following in the footsteps of Minecraft, Iron Gate’s Valheim has become the new expanse to build anything you deem fit for display....

Sonic Horses will use “surprise mechanics” so that players will be surprised by how ethically Sega treats their tiny, nonexistent horses. First, we should probably get it straightened out that there is no such thing as Sonic Horses. It’s a take on Sonic Forces, the 2017 platformer that stars Sonic the Hedgehog and various other anthropomorphic animals that are less famous than Sonic.

The mystery was actually a major barrier for most games launching later this year that once the November release dates were provided, various games started to fall into place as well either as launch titles or games that were launching close by.
