  2. Oscar nominations are one of the few places where vampires, Bob Dylan, and two ****** reform school students can all share the same space. Today, the nominees for the 97th Academy Awards were announced, and some of the bloodiest and strangest movies of 2024 were celebrated. Alien: Romulusscored a Visual Effects… Read more...

  4. Here’s an interesting question: If the subject of a really good remaster is a bad game, does that mean the remaster is also bad, or just a good way to experience the original flawed product?

  10. The original Switch was a trailblazing device that proved you could take console-quality games on the go, but it was demonstrably less powerful than its PlayStation and Xbox competitors.
