The first season of Spider-Noir hasn’t even hit Prime Video yet, but showrunner Oren Uziel is already thinking of ideas for season 2 and its late ’30s setting.Based on the Marvel comic of the same name, the upcoming live-action series is set in New York City in 1933, at a time of mobsters and dames, rising crime, and financial depression. Amongst the grime, it is up to Nicolas Cage’s down-on-his-luck private investigator Ben Reilly to restore balance as he recovers from a personal tragedy.However, Spider-Noir’s setting means that future seasons would explore the Big Apple’s descent into the Second World…

I’m partial to a good ol’ trip around the universe in games like No Man’s Sky, but if I’m not on a galaxy-faring adventure, I’ll be pushing my competitive limits in the best FPS games. I’m a sucker for stressing myself out, getting pummeled online by people who play far better than I do. So, when Wildgate launched, the combination was a match made for me, and you can try this gem alongside six other shooters for just over $2 in this new Humble Bundle. Despite having an 80%-rating on Steam from user reviews, granting it a Very Positive tag…

Director Jon Favreau is doing all he can to shake off accusations that The Mandalorian and Grogu is just a big-screen TV episode.”That level of spectacle is what I was aspiring to,” Favreau told SFX magazine of the scale present during Mando’s feature-length outing. “You really want to pull out all the stops, because people are asking, ‘Okay, is this just the TV show [on the big screen]?’ Well, there’s only one way to answer that question, and that’s to sit in a movie theater and watch it. I have to make my case that we made the most of…

Before The Mandalorian and Grogu was announced, the expectation was that the story of Din Djarin and his tiny green charge Baby Yoda would continue in The Mandalorian season 4.Of course, that ultimately didn’t end up being the case, as, after the SAG-AFTRA actors’ strike and the WGA writers’ strike, the plan was retooled to bring the duo to the big screen rather than continue on Disney Plus. But, Favreau had already written all the scripts – and, as it turns out, this story would have heavily linked to Ahsoka season 2.”You can’t just take those scripts and turn them…

The Spider-Man universe could be expanding even further, according to the co-showrunner of new spin-off Spider-Noir. Oren Uziel has revealed that there are several unannounced projects featuring Spider-Man variants in the works.”I’m focused on Spider-Noir, but I know there are others in the works,” he explained in the new issue of SFX Magazine, which hits newsstands on April 22. “I’ve talked a bit to the people working on them and I think they are very exciting. They’re following a little bit of that same formula [as Spider-Noir], that same idea of taking a genre and elevating it by putting a…

Although now easily available thanks to several mainstream re-releases, Metal Slug has long been a focal point for the hardcore. Developed at a time when 3D was usurping sprites both in arcades and at home, it showcased what was still possible with 2D. It was also developed for SNK’s Neo Geo hardware, which epitomised rich and cool. Even when ported elsewhere, such as to Sega’s Saturn, it required an additional RAM cartridge to function, reinforcing the fact that it was special. Whether in arcades or as a console port, Metal Slug is something that today remains aesthetically and functionally beautiful.Yet…
