Another X-Men Character Returning?
Direct Bryan Singer has revealed a new production image for X-Men: Apocalypse that features someone appearing to be Angel, possibly hinting at the character's return in the X-franchise.
The production art, showcased on Singer's Instagram, sees the winged figure in some sort of circus and possibly caged for the event. Warren Worthington III, a.k.a. the Angel, hasn't been confirmed as a character in X-Men: Apocalypse, and the last (and only) time Angel appeared in the franchise was in X-Men: The Last Stand (portrayed by Ben Foster).

iZombie: Liv’s Murderous New Insight
On iZombie, Liv (Rose McIver) has convinced Detective Clive Babineaux (Malcolm Goodwin) she's a psychic - because the actual truth, regarding how she gains insight (and skills) from those whose brains she feeds on is not something she's quite ready to share with him.
In this exclusive clip from Tuesday night's new episode, Liv has some important info regarding a high profile murder case going on. But while Babineaux has seen Liv show off some impressive knowledge before, he's not quite ready to embrace how much she wants him to intervene in this situation. Check out the clip above!

The End of the World: Video Game Apocalypses
There's a big advantage to a post-apocalyptic setting for a video game. You get to basically take the world as we know it and turn it on its ear. All those nice, enjoyable parts of everyday life can be corrupted and turned foul just by the application of a simple end-times formula. It's probably why apocalypse scenarios are so popular in culture. Look out your window... now imagine everything there is on fire. Pretty simple, right? We construct from our minds a vision of the future built on the ruins of what we see around us.
We've taken a look at four unique types of video game apocalypses, to try and figure out what makes them tick, and why we like these particular bleak future visions so much:
Where’s The MLB: The Show 15 Review?
Unfortunately, Sony has declined to provide pre-release review copies of MLB: The Show 15 for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, or PlayStation Vita. A Sony representative says this decision is due to this year's flagship Universal Rewards feature, which will require active servers to function. Review copies will arrive tonight at 12:01AM Pacific time, which also happens to be the public release date.
In light of that late arrival, and the upcoming Easter weekend (during which even we typically put down our controllers to spend some time with our families), our final review likely won't be ready to post until the middle of next week. Our apologies, and thank you for your patience!
Scientists In Serious Talks About Contacting Aliens

The official plot summary for Mad Max: Fury Road is as follows: "An apocalyptic story set in the furthest reaches of our planet, in a stark desert landscape where humanity is broken, and almost everyone is crazed fighting for the necessities of life. Within this world exist two rebels on the run who just might be able to restore order. There's Max (Tom Hardy), a man of action and a man of few words, who seeks peace of mind following the loss of his wife and child in the aftermath of the chaos. And Furiosa (Charlize Theron), a woman of action and a woman who believes her path to survival may be achieved if she can make it across the desert back to her childhood homeland."
