New TMNT 2 Character Posters Revealed

Paramount Pictures has released new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows character posters today—and in them, the Turtles get some big air.

The posters follow the film's action-packed third trailer, which was released earlier this week. Leonardo dons double blades in his poster, while Michelangelo rides a flying skateboard, Donatello flies a drone, and Raphael jumps out of a plane.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows is the followup to 2014's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles film. Alan Ritchson, Jeremy Howard, Pete Ploszek, and Noel Fisher star as Raphael, Donatello, Leonardo, and Michelangelo, respectively. Megan Fox returns as April O'Neil, with Will Arnett as Vern Fenwick.

Power Rangers Movie Costumes Revealed

The new Power Rangers may be sticking with the original characters' names, but they won't be wearing the same Spandex suits.

Revealed by Entertainment Weekly, the teenage heroes' new suits have a more artificial, almost insectile look to them.

There seems to be a good reason for that: production designer Andrew Menzies says, "Ours is an alien costume that grows on them, that’s not man-made. You can’t win everyone over, but we are trying to appeal to a more mature audience and gain new fans.”

Saints Row Dev Reportedly Working on New Game ‘Agents of Mayhem’

Volition and Deep Silver appear to be at work on a new game, called "Agents of Mayhem."

Game Informer reports that three separate sources have all referred to the title by name. The European Union Intellectual Property office has a trademark filing from last month. Joining that piece of evidence are two resume listings, one from animator John Velazquez, and another from a stunt actor Brandon Molale who lists it as a motion capture project.

In March, Deep Silver teased that it would make its "next major announcement" at E3 2016 in June. Volition has been quiet on new projects since the release of Saints Row 4 in 2013, though it did release its "Re-Elected" edition last year.

Opinion: A New Xbox Needs to Trump the PS4 Neo

With rumors now flowing from both companies, it seems to no longer be a question of whether Microsoft will roll out a new Xbox to compete with the PlayStation 4 Neo, but when, and what form it will take. With the PlayStation 4 beating the Xbox One roughly 2:1 in sales, it’s clear that if Microsoft wants to gain ground against Sony in this next round it can’t afford to just match the PS4 Neo’s system upgrades blow for blow – it has to beat it decisively.

Top 10 Secret Bosses in Video Games

Few gaming accomplishments feel quite as good as completing an archaic series of events deep into an adventure, only to find yourself face-to-face with an enemy that most players didn't even know existed. From celestial beings and playground legends, to inside jokes and series throwbacks, here are our 10 favorite secret bosses in video games.

Back in '95, the idea of Square and Nintendo making a game together seemed impossible, and yet low and behold Super Mario RPG was gifted to the world along with it’s ridiculously tough boss Culex. In the dark corners of the game’s Monstro Town resides a Culex, a foe who shrugs off Super Mario RPG's two point five D aesthetics, and goes straight up Final Fantasy on the plumber and his crew. Seeing his iconic crystals, hearing the Final Fantasy music, and finally taking down Culex was one of the most satisfying moment of the entire game.

Boba Fett Could Have Been the Main Star Wars Villain

Craig Miller - Lucasfilm's "first official fan relations officer" - has some interesting behind-the-scenes knowledge about what Star Wars could've been.

According to Inverse, Miller says "Originally Boba Fett was set up in Empire as a character, and the third movie’s plot was going to be more about Boba Fett, rescuing Han Solo and all of that... Boba was gonna be the main villain."

Lucas' original plan was to have nine films, but Miller says "While we were working on The Empire Strikes Back, George decided he was going to complete the first film trilogy and that would be it."
