The Avengers Project – Road to E3 2019
Chalk it up to Avengers: Endgame and Avengers: Infinity War taking all the focus away from anything else with that hero team in the name, but the last time we saw Square Enix and Crystal Dynamics’ The Avengers Project was...the first time we saw The Avengers Project.
Square Enix debuted a teaser trailer for the Marvel Games title from Crystal Dynamics, developers of the 2011 Tomb Raider reboot, back in January 2017. The original, cinematic teaser trailer flashed over what appeared to be the fallout of a fight or some other catastrophe. Bruce Banner’s glasses, the hand of Iron Man’s armor, Thor’s hammer Mjlonir, Captain America’s shield can all be seen strewn about, before ending with the hashtag “Reassemble.”

The Lion King Opening Weekend Box Office
The Lion King dominated the North American box office this weekend, earning an estimated $185 million in its domestic debut. It grossed another $346 million internationally.
That $185 million bow is the second biggest domestic opening weekend of 2019 behind Avengers: Endgame. It's also a record for a PG-rated film and for the month of July.
The Lion King also dethroned 2017's Beauty and the Beast for the biggest opening weekend for Disney remakes of their animated classics.
Beauty and the Beast opened with a $174.8 million bow, followed by Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland ($116.1 million).
Pupperazzi is Like Pokémon Snap but With Dogs
It’s been 20 years since Pokémon Snap captivated junior photographers with Pikachu riding a surfboard, among other things, and for whatever reason, Nintendo has refrained from producing a sequel in all that time. That said, diehard fans may be in luck with the arrival of Pupperazi, a game that borrows heavily from Pokémon Snap’s core concept of photographing animals doing weird things, but this time it’s with very good dogs.
Announcing Pupperazzi: The Dog Spotting Video Game!
What We Want From Pokemon Sword and Shield at E3
I’ve waited for Pokemon on the Switch - or any home console, for that matter - for a long, long time. Sure, we got Pokemon Let’s Go last year (which we thought was great), and there were others like Snap or Colosseum, but those just didn’t carry the same weight of a full-fledged core Pokemon game - one that’s meant to carry on the torch from Pokemon Red and Blue, and the most recent Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon.
One of my very first op-eds as a full-time editor at IGN was 5 Things We Want in a Pokemon Switch Game, back in April 2017. During that year’s E3 we learned there was, indeed, a core Pokemon RPG in development for the Switch, but got no other details, not even a logo. The next year, in May 2018, we were reassured it was still coming (in 2019) and Pokemon Let’s Go Eevee, Let’s Go Pikachu, and Pokemon Quest were announced in one fell swoop, a smart move for The Pokemon Company.
The Deadwood Cast Brings You Up to Speed for the HBO Movie
Roughly 13 years after HBO canceled the award-winning series, Deadwood is finally getting the proper conclusion its creators, cast and fans have long waited for in the form of a two-hour feature film, premiering May 31 on HBO. It’s scripted by series creator David Milch and directed by Dan Minahan.
Set a decade after the final episode, Deadwood: The Movie picks up in 1889 as South Dakota becomes the 40th state in the Union. A U.S. Senator has come to Deadwood to commemorate this momentous occasion … George Ambrose Hearst.
Yes, the same rich and powerful villain who lorded over Deadwood in Season 3 and whose greedy misdeeds led to murder has returned, reopening old wounds for the remaining residents of Deadwood. Hearst now has the political might— and the ruthless gunmen — to protect him as he pursues his own personal agenda in town. Can these misfit residents, who have so often been at odds with one another for various reasons, unite to confront a common foe and protect their community?
