Henry Cavill Swears He’s Still Superman
Though reports would have us believe that Henry Cavill’s time as Superman has long been over, the Man of Steel actor says that the role is still his.
"The cape is in the closet," Cavill told Men's Health in an interview. "It’s still mine."
In September 2018, industry insiders reported that Warner Bros. chose to end Cavill’s time as Superman. Cavill starred as Superman in Man of Steel, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, and Justice League. There were plans for Man of Steel 2 that never materialized. The Shazam! movie featured a Superman cameo, but when fans saw that it didn’t feature Cavill in the role -- a body double was used and Superman’s face was never shown -- they took it as confirmation that he had indeed left the cape behind. Shazam! producer Peter Safran explained it away at the time by saying Cavill didn’t do the Superman cameo because of a scheduling conflict.

IGN’s Staff Reviews Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order
As you all know, IGN’s official Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order review score is the opinion of an individual reviewer who has played to completion, and not a consensus among the entire staff. That’s been standard practice among virtually all review outlets for decades, largely because of the challenging logistics of having so many people play so much of a game in such a short period of time. But what if, hypothetically, a whole bunch of IGN editors and hosts just happened to play Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order so intensively that a bunch of us finished within the first week? What if they all told you what they thought at once with brief reviews and personal scores, and we rounded them all up in one place instead of spreading those opinions out over our numerous shows and over weeks or months?

Metal Slug: The Ultimate History Is a Must-Own for Fans of Retro Gaming and Pixel Art
I've long been a fan of Bitmap Books, having supported its NES/Famicom: A Visual Compendium on Kickstarter (after its return from a DMCA takedown strike back in 2016). I own three different books from Bitmap Books: the aforementioned NES/Famicom Compendium, the follow-up Super NES/Super Famicom Compendium, and Super Famicom: The Box Art Collection.
There are hundreds of enthusiasts out there today, crafting beautiful books expressing a deep admiration for the art of games, but the books Bitmap makes are far and away the best such examples. They're true labors of love: meticulously researched, gorgeously laid out, luxuriously bound and overflowing with information both visual and written. I own a lot of books about video games, and Bitmap's easily beat out books from bigger publishers when it comes to quality.
