10. Brawlhalla
Initial release date: November 3, 2015
Brawlhalla could be described as Smash Bros lite. It’s a platform fighter that incorporates powerful weapons and gadget drops that change your playstyle according to the specific item. One minute you’ll be fighting with grenades, then the next you’ll be riding a rocket spear into someone’s face.
Mario Kart Needs to Learn From Crash Team Racing: Nitro-Fueled’s Grand Prix Mode
I can’t stop playing Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled, and I don’t intend to anytime soon. It’s no surprise that the kart racer is a great Crash Team Racing remake, and as a longtime Crash fan I expected to put in plenty of hours on Crash Cove. But the remake’s developers, Beenox, have added such a smart additional feature post-launch — the Grand Prix — that is the primary reason for my addiction. And it’s something that CTR’s kart racing competition, namely, Mario Kart, needs to steal, stat.
Live-Action Warhammer 40k TV Show in the Works
Warhammer 40,000 is getting a television adaptation from Frank Spotnitz, the creator of Amazon Prime’s Man in the High Castle. This will be the first live-action adaptation of Game Workshop’s popular tabletop RPG.
The Hollywood Reporter says the TV series will be called Eisenhorn and will adapt the Warhammer 40k spinoff novel of the same name. The novels center around Gregor Eisenhorn, an Inquisitor and leader of a band of investigators that wages a clandestine battle against demonic and alien forces that mankind is at war with.
Mindhunter Season 2’s Images Tease Atlanta Child Murders, Charles Manson
Netflix's Mindhunter is returning for its second season on August 16, 2019. Today, members of the press were invited to an interactive website which featured over 200 images from the upcoming season that is said to be focused on the Atlanta Child Murders and will also include Charles Manson, as a way of curating a personalized first look at Season 2.
The images, of which eight are viewable in the below slideshow, begin to paint a picture of what returning FBI Agents Holden Ford and Bill Tench have in store for them as they try to solve the case of the aforementioned Atlanta Child Murders that took place between 1979-1981 in Atlanta, Georgia.
Warlander Preview: The Lightsaber(-ish) Game Where You CAN Dismember People
Warlander, in developer Clock Drive Games’ own words, is inspired by the Jedi Knight series and Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance. During my 20-minute demo, what made those aforementioned games special shined through, and I couldn’t get enough of the Lightsaber-like combat that had me chopping limbs and heads off any monster that stood in my path.
Warlander stars a resurrected hero named Bruce who wields a sentient sword that very much invokes the feel of that elegant weapon for a more civilized age. The weight behind each swing is heavy and packs a ton of force and, unlike for the majority of enemies in the upcoming Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, a successful strike will dismember limbs, heads, legs, and any other unfortunate body part that falls victim to Bruce’s wrath.
Ghostbusters Takes Over Universal Studios’ Halloween Horror Nights

Why Marvel’s Bill Sienkiewicz Is Still Excited for the New Mutants Movie
Even as Marvel Studios begins planning how to integrate the X-Men into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, there's still one holdover from the Fox era left to go. The New Mutants is currently scheduled for an April 3, 2020 theatrical release. And though the multiple delays and lack of sequel prospects may have X-Men fans dismissing this spinoff, there's one Marvel creator who's still very excited to see the team make their big screen debut. Artist Bill Sienkiewicz thinks there's plenty of reason to be optimistic about The New Mutants.
We brought up the movie while discussing Sienkiewicz's art for the upcoming X-Men: Dark Phoenix Steelbook Blu-ray. Having worked on classic New Mutants comic storylines like "The Demon Bear Saga" and having been given a chance to visit the set, Sienkiewicz is very eager to see this oft-delayed movie finally see the light of day.
