Far Cry 5: Why John Seed Is Your Charmingly Deadly Enemy – IGN First
Far Cry 5 is our IGN First game of the month. Today, I'm so excited to share with you a glimpse at one of the main villains you'll be encountering in the messed up war zone that's become of the beautiful, organic setting of Montana in Far Cry 5.

Venom Movie’s Comic Book Influences Explained
It's safe to say Spider-Man fans have had a fairly mixed reaction to Sony's upcoming Venom movie so far. On the one hand, it's great to see Eddie Brock being given another chance on the big screen. On the other, lots of questions remain about a Spider-Man universe character getting a movie... without Spider-Man.
Still, the movie is definitely drawing inspiration from the source material. The film's director, Ruben Fleischer (Zombieland), has said that it's based mainly on two different comics arcs: Lethal Protector and Planet of the Symbiotes. So let's breakdown how this new Venom movie looks to be adapting Marvel's comics and those stories specifically...

THQ Nordic Buys Saints Row, Metro, Dead Island Publisher
THQ Nordic - publisher of de Blob, which is getting a Switch remaster later this year - has bought Koch Media, which owns the Saints Row, Metro, and Dead Island franchises, in a €121 million deal.
Koch Media itself runs Deep Silver (Dead Island and Metro publisher), Volition (Saints Row developer) and Dambuster Studios (Homefront: The Revolution developer), all of which will come under the THQ Nordic umbrella.
