Way back in November 2023, Marvel Studios surprise-announced a brand new production label: Marvel Spotlight. Unlike those carrying the regular Marvel Studios logo, the goal of Spotlight, which was launched on 2024’s Disney Plus series Echo, was to focus on shows (and potentially movies) that are more grounded and don’t have an impact on the greater MCU continuity. And while since that time exactly two TV shows have been launched as Marvel Spotlight series, the latest, Wonder Man, is so good that perhaps all MCU shows should be Marvel Spotlight shows.When it was first announced that Echo would be carrying…

What’s in the box? Fallout season 2’s most recent episode slowly worked its way towards revealing what was lying behind the square-shaped mainframe door in Hank’s Vault-Tec testing facility. And the answer was certainly not what we were expecting – even if it likely has far-reaching implications for both the Fallout season 2 finale and beyond.Spoilers for the Fallout season 2, episode 7 ending follow.Lucy wanted answers and she certainly got some this week. On the face of it, the morbid head-shaped cliffhanger isn’t exactly a shock to those in the know when it comes to Vault-Tec’s long history of…

Grand Theft Auto 6 is simultaneously the most anticipated game set to release in 2026 and the one I’m least sure will actually arrive in players’ hands in the next 12 months. Developer Rockstar has already delayed it extensively, and even though the GTA 6 release date is currently set for November 2026, further pushbacks are never out of the question. Now, a new leak suggests that you might have to wait even longer if you want to get your hands on a physical edition of the forthcoming open-world game. The leak comes from Polish website PPE, whose insider ‘Graczdari’…

Despite his many comments to the contrary, it seems Ryan Reynolds is indeed hard at work on Deadpool 4. Reynolds previously said “Oh god no,” when asked if he was planning on Deadpool 4, but he’s reportedly back in the saddle developing a new entry in the franchise.The report comes courtesy of Puck, citing unnamed sources with knowledge of the project. Even though Reynolds made no bones about his hesitation to dive right into the next movie after 2024’s Deadpool and Wolverine, saying he had plans to spend more time with his family, it’s not entirely surprising that he’s more…

Something really peed me off about Highguard’s launch, and it wasn’t just the inconsistent servers. As soon as the game launched yesterday, everyone raced to post Steam charts and that dreaded ‘overwhelmingly negative’ tag on social media. As is now the norm, forum threads offered users the chance to predict the game’s peak player count in the first week. But we can’t truly judge a game from just numbers and graphs, especially ones so easily manipulated. It turns out that, if you look past the review bombs from players who have hardly touched the game, Highguard’s stats tell a different…

The MCU’s new streaming series Wonder Man is a hit among critics, but there was a chance that it was almost canceled as a “tax write” off while early in production. Wonder Man director Destin Daniel Cretton opened up about the show’s unlikely path to success while navigating 2023’s WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes that temporarily shut down the US film industry.”We were halfway through ours,” Cretton says at a live event (via Laughing Place), explaining the timing of the strikes. “You know, it could have been a tax write-off for Disney, but I know for a fact that the people…

Valve’s lawyers won’t be able to file away one of the legal legalings they’ve been dealing with for a little while now, at least not yet. A tribunal have ruled that the £656m lawsuit brought against the company by digital rights campaigner Vicki Shotbolt and law firm Milberg London LLP last year – the one that could net UK dwellers who’ve bought stuff on Steam since early June 2018 up to £44 in compensation – can go ahead. As a result, Valve’s Lionel Hutzes will have to face the lawsuit’s accusations that the company have used Steam’s “dominant position” in…

Steam’s dominance as the biggest PC gaming storefront in the world is unquestionable, and for the majority of new games, not releasing on Valve’s platform is deemed a questionable move. However, Steam’s practices have been called into question by a number of lawsuits over the years, and it’s just been confirmed that another one is heading Valve’s way. Representing 14 million gamers in the United Kingdom, a lawsuit seeking up to £656 million ($897 million) in damages has been given the go-ahead following a tribunal, despite Valve’s protestations. This lawsuit was first filed with the Competition Appeal Tribunal in London…

Raiders across Speranza are eagerly digging into Tuesday’s big Headwinds update, part of the Arc Raiders Escalation roadmap. At least, they would be if they weren’t stuck slowly digging into loot containers that were much easier to plunder before the update.Through unknowable technical fumbles, Headwinds has noticeably slowed looting speed, giving countless players whiplash like they just got off the interstate and shifted to a school zone speed limit.Every loot container in Arc Raiders, from glorious red lockers to enemy backpacks, slowly unscrambles contents once you open it. After Headwinds, that unscrambling process takes (very anecdotally) about 30% longer, and…
