The Best Reviewed Movies of 2017
The year is coming to a close, and the time has come to look back at all the films that blew our minds. IGN’s film critics watched a heck of a lot of movies this year, and these were the very best.
IGN rates its movies on a scale of 0-10, and any film released between January 1 and December 31st is eligible for this slideshow, which highlights all the films that earned an 8 or above from any of our various film critics.
On this scale, any film rated 8.0-8.9 is considered “great”, any film rated 9.0-9.9 is considered “amazing” and anything that gets the coveted 10 rating is declared a “masterpiece”. And we don’t give 10s out to just anything, either. Only one motion picture earned a 10/10 rating in all of 2017. (The lowest score of the year: 1.9, yikes.)
ULTRA Rare GLOW-IN-THE-DARK SNES Cartridge Unboxed
More than 20 years after the SNES's 1990s heyday, Capcom and iam8bit have officially released a brand new SNES game: Street Fighter II 30th Anniversary Edition. As a (sold out) limited run of 5500, it's already one of the rarest SNES games ever released. In addition to a small print run of working cartridges, 1000 of the games are "Glow in the Dark Blanka Green." We tested it out in the video at the top of the page -- they really glow! The other 4500 are "Opaque Ryu Headband Red." There's no way to tell which you'll get, making the green copies impossibly hard to come by.
While there are plenty of unreleased and prototype games for the SNES, there are few official, printed cartridges from the 90s that have smaller runs than 5500, let alone 1000. For comparison, there are an estimated 2000 Star Fox: Super Weekend Official Competition Cartridges out there, and the Donkey Kong Country Competition Cartridge had a run of 2500.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance: Combat, Speech, and Stealth
All month long we're highlighting cool games that might not be on your radar, as part of IGN First: Games to Watch in 2018.
Today we’ve got a look how you can talk, fight, sneak, or even cook your way through different situations in the realism-focused RPG Kingdom Come: Deliverance.
Even though it looks similar to games like Skyrim or The Witcher at a glance, Kingdom Come: Deliverance is a slower type of RPG. You won’t find NPCs with exclamation points over their head or convenient arrows pointing out where to go, so you’ll have to listen and think through what’s around you to complete its quests.
Catherine: Full Body Announced for PS4, Vita
Atlus has announced a remake of Catherine, titled Catherine: Full Body, is coming to PlayStation 4 and PS Vita.
As reported by Persona Central, Catherine: Full Body is being developed by Studio Zero, the new internal development team at Atlus that's working on a role-playing game codenamed Project Re Fantasy.
The outlet also reports that, according the latest issue of Weekly Famitsu magazine (via Ryokutya2089 and Hachima Kikou), in addition to Catherine and Katherine, Catherine: Full Body will feature a third girl named Rin. A pianist hired at the Stray Sheep bar, Rin is a more gentle and unassertive character whose role in the narrative will be split between Catherine and Katherine.
X-Men’s Gambit Explained
There's only one X-Man who can challenge Wolverine for the title of resident mutant bad boy. And finally, it seems Gambit will get his shot at Hollywood greatness, as director Gore Verbinski (Pirates of the Caribbean, The Ring, A Cure for Wellness) and star Channing Tatum join forces for a solo Gambit movie.
As we wait for that movie to finally materialize, we figured now would be a good time to spotlight the Ragin' Cajun and tell you everything you need to know about Gambit.
X-Men don't come more cocky, self-assured or mysterious than Gambit. This master thief abandoned his shady past (mostly) in order to join Professor Xavier's school and fight for the survival of the mutant race. It may seem like Gambit is more interested in lining his pockets or flirting with beautiful women than playing superhero, but much like his colleague, Wolverine, he's got a heart of gold buried beneath all that swagger.
Get Your First Look at Into the Badlands Season 3 Images
Spoilers for Seasons 1 and 2 of Into the Badlands follow.
Into the Badlands is one of the best martial arts-based shows on television. Daniel Wu's portrayal of Sunny has been a joy to watch and it's great to see him getting more roles in feature films like Geostorm and Tomb Raider. Here's an exciting first look at what Season 3 will look like when it premieres in the Spring of 2018 on AMC.
Season 3's story looks to be a fascinating one, as Sunny must learn to raise his son (Henry) alone, now that Veil is gone. If Marvel's Iron Fist didn't satisfy your martial arts desires, then Into the Badlands is worth checking out. Season 1 is currently available on Netflix in the U.S.
