Detective Pikachu Trailer: Mewtwo Explained and 40+ Hidden Pokemon
The second trailer for Pokemon: Detective Pikachu offers a much better idea of the plot and features the live-action debut of the OG Legendary, Mewtwo. We’re going to break down the new information we learned and see how the powerful Psychic-type fits into all of this.
Here's the new trailer if you want to give it a look:
Pikachu tells Tim Goodman that he woke up with amnesia and the only clue he had was the tag in his cap saying it belongs to Tim’s father, Detective Harry Goodman. It looks like an attempt was made on Harry’s life, perhaps because he was investigating the case of the missing Pokemon we see posters for and discovered it was linked to a larger conspiracy. So now it’s up to Tim and Pikachu to get to the bottom of it, with some help from their young reporter friend Lucy and her Psyduck.

Opinion: Now Is the Time to Subscribe to DC Universe
When it was first announced last year, the DC Universe app seemed like a dream come true for superhero fanatics. A dedicated streaming service with the best of DC's movies and TV projects, brand new DC shows and a robust comic book library? What's not to love?
In execution, though, DC Universe hasn't quite lived up to that hype. The selection of classic material is a bit thin, and the slow roll-out of new series like Titans and Doom Patrol makes binge-watching a difficult proposition.
The good news is that DC Universe has finally progressed to the point where the service justifies the price of a monthly subscription. Here's a look at how the service has improved over the last few months and why these exclusive shows are leading the charge.
Rotten Tomatoes Bans Pre-Release User Input
Rotten Tomatoes has decided to remove the option for fans to comment and "rate" films via the site's "Want to See" feature before their release in an effort to stop users trashing films they haven't seen yet.
The change is part of a site overhaul that's intended to "more accurately and authentically represent the voice of fans, while protecting
data and public forums from bad actors," explained a recent blog update. The update reads: "As of February 25, we will no longer show the 'Want to See' percentage score for a movie during its pre-release period. Why you might ask? We’ve found that the 'Want to See' percentage score is often times confused with the 'Audience Score' percentage number."
Escape Room 2 in the Works for 2020 Release
Escape Room is getting a sequel for release on April 17, 2020.
Deadline reports that Adam Robitel is returning to direct. He'll be joined by the original film's writer, Bragi F. Schut, and producer, Neal H. Moritz.
Escape Room released back in January and more than made back its $10 million budget, raking in $119 million at the worldwide box office.
Although it was filled with tropes, we gave the PG-13 thriller a 6.5/10 in our IGN review, calling it "A fun throwback to thrillers from the '00s."
$35 for Red Dead Redemption 2 and More PS4, Xbox One Deals
If you buy something through this post, IGN may get a share of the sale. For more, read our Terms of Use.
Well, well, well. Just when we thought the sale price of Red Dead Redemption 2 wouldn't go any lower, Walmart went and dropped it again. You can now get RDR2 on both PS4 and Xbox One, with free two-day shipping or in-store pickup, for $35. (Amazon has matched the price, but it's having trouble keeping it in stock.)
$35 is the lowest price we've seen yet, which is great news for anyone who's held out this long and is interested in trying this fantastic open-world western. It's unclear when the deal will go away, so grab it fast if you want it.
