Survivor: Game Changers Looks to Be Another Exciting Season
With its 34th season premiering tonight, Survivor continues to be the competition reality show to beat. The producers have done a fantastic job at keeping what fans love, as well adding just enough to keep the contestants on their toes. Because of this, the meta game behind Survivor is ever-evolving; where once being a strategist was considered a negative, it now may be vital to be considered for the title of "Sole Survivor."
Survivor: Game Changers highlights these subtle changes to the game. This season features contestants that have directly impacted the way the game will be approached by future players. These all-stars are from every era of Survivor; it is exciting to see how each of them have evolved since the last time they have played. No “favorite” is safe, and history shows that most of the larger personalities will be targeted immediately.
The 10 Most Ridiculous Things That Wolverine Has Survived
He’s the best there is at what he does, and what he does isn’t very nice! Marvel’s premiere mutant hero, Wolverine has become infamous for his healing factor; which has allowed him to survive almost any injury.
At least that was true until Marvel finally decided to kill Wolverine off by encasing his body in molten Adamantium. And while it’s inevitable that the original Wolverine will eventually come back to life, there’s currently an Old Man Logan version of Wolverine running around in the Marvel Universe...probably as a reaction to the film, Logan.
But for the longest time, Wolverine was practically unkillable. Fatal blows were just a nuisance, and not even the loss of his flesh and vital organs seemed to slow down Logan. Sometimes, Wolverine’s survival was simply ludicrous on all levels! That’s why we’ve assembled a list of the 10 most ridiculous things that Wolverine has survived. He may go down, but he always comes back for more.
Ape Out Is Like Hotline Miami With an Animalistic Twist
I only got to play Ape Out for about 10 minutes at this year’s Game Developer’s Conference, but those 10 minutes were packed with such a raw fury that for a few brief moments, it felt like time was standing still.
In Ape Out, you control a gorilla gone absolutely berserk for reasons that aren’t and don’t really need to be explained. Any questions I had about the “what” and “why” were immediately dashed — like an unsuspecting guard against a wall — once I broke out of my glass encasement and began my rampage throughout its first procedurally generated level.
Check out Ape Out's first trailer below, exclusively on IGN!
Ape Out was pure intensity from that moment on. With movements so fast and fluid it almost looks rotoscoped, I barreled through corridors, grabbing baddies and hurling them against walls, propelling them with the sheer force of my punches to their off-screen demise, or using them as human shields before launching them like a bowling ball towards a pair of hostiles around the corner. Every bloody splat was accompanied by an explosive cymbal crash, a musical punctuation to my violence against the frenetic beat of its drum-heavy soundtrack.

How That Aquaman Underwater Scene Was Done
Justice League director Zack Snyder has revealed how he shot Aquaman's underwater scene.
Last week Synder shared a short clip of Jason Momoa's Aquaman swimming underwater. It turns out, thanks to a behind-the-scenes photo courtesy of Batman-News, it was actually Momoa filming the scene.

Hugh Jackman Will Star as Enzo Ferrari in Biopic
Wolverine himself Hugh Jackman will now play legendary motor racing driver and entrepreneur Enzo Ferrari in Michael Mann's biopic.
Deadline reports the Logan star replaced Christian Bale for the lead role, as Bale developed health issues while putting on weight for the film. Jackman on the other hand, no longer has to worry about getting physically fit to play Wolverine.
Noomi Rapace will star alongside Jackman as his estranged wife Linda. Michael Mann's script for the film will focus on the pair's tense relationship while Ferrari was designing his race cars. The movie takes place in 1957, the most tumultuous period in Ferrari's life as the designer had to put up with failure, success, and death while competing against Maserati.
First Photo From Jurassic World 2 Revealed
Director J.A. Bayona has tweeted the first official image from the Jurassic World sequel, which has recently started filming.
In the photo, a young girl stands in front of a bunch of dino skeletons in what looks like a museum of some sort. Bayona did not say who the young girl is, and there are no obvious links to the characters in Jurassic World. Perhaps she is the daughter of Claire (Bryce Dallas Howard) and Owen (Chris Pratt), both of whom are returning for the sequel?

The Batman: Actor Calls Deathstroke an ‘Exciting’ Villain
Despite the recent changes behind the camera of The Batman, the actor portraying the film's villain Deathstroke, Joe Manganiello, continues to look forward to putting his own spin on the popular DC villain.
Speaking with The RI Magazine, Manganiello said this iteration of the master swordsman could "be a great villain" that fans will root for.
"This is my character, an exciting one, and has the capacity I think, to be a great villain," Manganiello said. "And what all the great ones can do is polarize an audience. When I was a kid I always rooted for the villain. As a kid I think I would have rooted for him and I think fans will."
