A roaring soundtrack, a focus on a more cinematic narrative, and that familiar demon-slaying action have kept me playing through Doom: The Dark Ages for longer than I imagined possible.

Doom: The Dark Ages doesn’t see Doomslayer cracking out one-liners or getting involved in demonic drama, but it…

Just, you know, not The Crew.All of that being said, I was genuinely surprised to learn that Skull and Bones, Ubisoft’s…

A fresh look at Nicolas Cage as Ben Reilly/Spider-Man in Spider-Noir has arrived, showing off a pulpy take on the Spidey variant, who first appeared in 2018’s Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, also voiced by Cage. And according to the man himself, he’s bringing his usual eccentricity and intensity to the role, channeling both classic film noir vibes and even some cartoonish antics.”For me, this character was 70 percent Bogart, and 30 percent Bugs Bunny,” Cage tells Esquire. “I was basically Mel Blanc doing Bogart, with that sarcastic sense of humor. But it’s a hundred percent me.””You’ll see some other influences…
