Almost every announcement in the September 2021 Nintendo Direct broadcast tried to one-up the other reveals. Audiences finally got the long-awaited Bayonetta 3 gameplay trailer (it was every bit as exciting as we hoped), minutes after the internet was left to decide whether to shout “Wahoo!” or “Mamma mia!” over the Super Mario movie voice

By its very title, Netflix horror hit Stranger Things has promised some, well, stranger things.  Still, through three seasons of nostalgia-tinged spookies, Stranger Things has mostly stayed in the realm of monsters.

Silent Hill 2’s legacy has only grown in the 20 years since its release. While Konami’s follow-up to one of the best horror games of the PS1 era was a critical hit out of the gate, it’s taken years for people to fully grasp the brilliance of Silent Hill 2’s atmosphere, characters, and story.  Silent

As surreal as it might seem to newer Star Wars fans, the omnipresent franchise once fell into a decade of relative dormancy until the late-1990s. It was a natural effect, since the Original Trilogy phenomenon played itself out upon 1983’s Return of the Jedi. It was subsequently kept afloat on television, first with two Ewoks

The sunk cost fallacy is a powerful thing.

By now, Marvel’s Venom is principally associated with Tom Hardy’s hulking symbiotic solo-starring anti-hero movie protagonist.
