The Top 10 Dogs in Video Games
Much like in real life, dogs often serve an important purpose in video games. They help fight enemies, recover items, provide companionship, and add a small amount of levity that benefits even the most grimdark games out there.
They span genres, appearing in everything from first-person shooters to pixelated adventure games. And, while all dogs in games are very good boys and girls, these ten are the ones who went above and beyond to be the very best.

Every parent that doubles as a gamer secretly wishes their own kids will one day pick up the controller and start going on their own epic adventures, and Insomniac Games CEO Ted Price is no exception.

Every DCEU Movie Review Score, From Man of Steel to Shazam!
With Aquaman now on Blu-ray and Shazam! flying into theaters in early April, let's take a look back at every review we've done for the current DC movie continuity that began with 2013's Man of Steel.
The fledgling DCEU (which was never the official name for this shared universe, mind you) endured a big one-two punch in 2016 with the release of two critically drubbed but still financially successful films, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and Suicide Squad.
The following year proved a mixed bag for DC films. Warner Bros. won great acclaim and scored big box office in 2017 with its highly anticipated Wonder Woman solo film, but the studio then saw a huge setback just a few months later with the commercial disappointment of Justice League.
Elder Scrolls Online’s Elsweyr Expansion Shakes Things Up
This isn’t the first time ESO has visited the beautifully sandy region of Elsweyr (pronounced Elsewhere) since some small zones in the base game let players dip their toes into the area such as Khenarthi's Roost. However, opening up the whole zone for exploration is new. And with this new zone also comes the introduction of dragons into the world of ESO.
The prequel quest should be going live soon and will serve as a direct prelude to the events in Elsweyr (out May 20 on PC and June 4 on consoles), immediately following the Wrathstone DLC’s brief narrative. The gist of it all is that some Imperials have invaded the northern region of Elsweyr with a necromancer at their helm and something that the player does may have accidentally awoken dragons under the presumed guise of aiding natives in battle. Naturally, things didn’t unfold as intended and now all hell’s broken loose.
Sandra Bullock Was Offered the Role of Neo in The Matrix Before Keanu Reeves
Lorenzo di Bonaventura, producer of The Matrix, has revealed that Neo could have been a woman, if Sandra Bullock hadn't turned down the role.
Warner Bros. reportedly demanded that the part be played by an A-lister, given that the Wachowskis had only directed a single film, 1996's Bound, prior to the project.
“We went out to so many people I don’t remember. We were getting desperate," di Bonaventura told The Wrap.
Possible candidates reportedly included Brad Pitt, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Will Smith. Smith elaborated on turning down the role in a post on his Instagram account last month.
