Billy Joel has made it clear that an unauthorised biopic does not have his approval, nor rights to his music or his life rights – calling it “legally and professionally misguided”.

The latest version of the popular Gacha game Genshin Impact has apparently added Nintendo Switch to the in-game account login manager internally presumably meaning you can link your Nintendo Account to the game.

Embracer founder and executive chair Lars Wingefors, the main architect behind the company’s infamous $2b disaster from 2023 that resulted in thousands of lost jobs, canceled games, and shuttered studios, says the restructuring has been about giving a select number of developers and IP the chance to “prove themselves.” It’s irresponsible and unfair to pin

If I were to ask you about Lucio Fulci’s The House By the Cemetery, it’s likely that the first thing to come to mind would be Bob. Played by a then young Giovanni Frezza, the character is known amongst horror circles as one of the most obnoxious kids to ever appear on screen. Well, Fangoria
By the time she was 40, Jesmyn Ward had won two National Book Awards for her novels Salvage the Bones and Sing, Unburied, Sing—the first woman, and first Black American, to do so. Ward grew up poor in the poorest part of Mississippi, and as a young writer, she was determined to tell the stories

My Rating ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rating: 4 out of 5. “Perceptions” The men set a drift upon the flotsam, bobbing in the Mediterranean Sea as their ship sank beneath the waves. For days their thoughts lingered in desperation. Would another ship venture into the trade route bound for Spain? What caused the Gloria to capsize in tranquil
Fantastic Four: First Steps was not a hit in my household, so I haven’t exactly been clamoring for new figures of Marvel’s first family since the movie hit last summer. But Hasbro evidently knew exactly what comics-based iteration of the team I would buy—and this month, they’re sweeping in for the kill! Based on the landmark
Glen Powell is a certified star these days. After breaking big with the cast of Top Gun: Maverick, he’s solidified himself as a Hollywood star and heartthrob thanks to movies like Anyone But You and Twisters (among others).

I once made someone watch The Fly on a third date. They stayed. That is either the best thing that ever happened to me or a sign that my judgment cannot be trusted, and honestly both of those things might be true. Horror romance is a specific kind of damage. Here are five films that

When it comes to the RPGs I’m anticipating at Summer Game Fest 2026, I’m trying to think quality over quantity. There’s an impressive number of upcoming RPGs in development right now, and many supposedly launching in the next 12 months still lack release dates. That feels like a great place to start when trying to
