World War Z Studio Wanted To Do a Remake of Half-Life 2
Saber Interactive, the developer behind World War Z, approached Valve with the possibility of having it remake Half-Life 2. However, Valve responded that if a remake does happen, it will be done internally.
GameWatcher spoke to Saber Interactive CEO and co-founder Matthew Karch who discussed that after Saber worked on Halo: The Master Chief Collection, the team then turned its eyes to Half-Life 2.
"After we did Halo Anniversary and Halo 2 Anniversary, as part of the Master Chief Collection, I reached out to Gabe Newell personally, because I knew him from a past life, and I said I want to remake Half-Life 2," Karch said. "That's all I want to do. I won't charge you anything for it. I'll do it for rev-share and doesn't even need to be a big rev-share. I just really want to do because I love that game so much."

Celebrate 25 Years of Earthworm Jim With This Fully Functioning SNES Cart
Earthworm Jim, the space-faring, head-whipping sci-fi dirt eater from the 16-bit days of yore, is getting a special Super NES cartridge reissue from iam8bit.
It seems almost quaint now, but there was a time when no video game company worth its salt didn't have a cartoon mascot. Some of those mascots, like Aero the Acrobat, haven't been heard from in years, while others like Sonic and Mario are considered icons.
One of nature's lowliest creatures, the earthworm, was an unlikely choice for a mascot, but Earthworm Jim persevered, starring in four different games in the 1990s, and even a short-lived Kids' WB animated series.

Critics Praise Once Upon a Time in Hollywood on Twitter
Now that the Avengers: Endgame hype has died down a bit, the Internet can turn its attention to some of the other hotly anticipated releases of the summer, including Quentin Tarantino's Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Tarantino's ninth film recently screened at the Cannes Film Festival, and the early responses seem very positive.
Critics appear unanimous in their praise for Tarantino's latest, even as they point out that it's a very different and much slower-paced film than most of Tarantino's work.
WorldOfReel.com's Jordan Ruimy goes so far as to compare the film to 1994's Pulp Fiction, placing it among the best of Tarantino's career.

Just Cause 4: Los Demonios DLC Announced Alongside Spring Update
Square Enix announced the second DLC expansion for Just Cause 4 today.
Entitled "Los Demonios", the expansion drops Rico Rodriguez into "an all-out battle against the demonic forces from an ancient past," according to a release from the developers.
Promising new missions, skills and tools, including a "Demon Crossbow and Demon Egg Supply Drop", Los Demonios reintroduces the Liberation system that originally appeared in Just Cause 3. While the release doesn't explain what, exactly, this means, we assume that it will replace the regional Front Line mechanic from the main Just Cause 4 campaign in favor of focusing on individual townships and cities.
The announcement comes alongside the patch notes for the Spring 2019 update to the game, which contains a handful of additions and improvements. "After listening to the Just Cause community," the developers said in a blog post, "We wanted to release an update with a number of improvements and additions that you have been asking for."
