There have been video game adaptations of pretty much every major movie franchise and brand name. Even Cheetos of all things has a game. So, why not Shakespeare? The bard’s themes are universal, yet also allow for interpretation on the audience’s part. Surely a smart game designer could find a way to insert intriguing game mechanics into a Shakespeare story. It turns out they can, and developer Golden Glitch did. Elsinore re-imagines Hamlet as a supernatural point-and-click mystery, and delivers a fine fusion of gameplay and story....

Bungie and Activision have released a new trailer that takes a quick look at the return to the Crucible, the competitive multiplayer mode in Destiny 2. This time around the Crucible will focus on on 4v4 battles, rather than the original Destiny’s 2v2, 3v3 and 6v6 modes. This makes for some intense and chaotic battles.

There are hopes from the organisers, however, that this pilot will be successful, with the theory being it will draw in a younger audience to the games themselves....

When Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End was released back in 2016, I immediately downloaded The Nathan Drake Collection and played through the entire series.

It’s safe to say I’ve been waiting forever for an Uncharted movie....

The idea of going to sleep next to Ted Bundy is a chilling thought. But despite being infamous now for the brutal murder of at least 30 women in the 1970s, there was a time—including during much of his trial—where many folks mistook him for a smiling, handsome law student. Liz Kendall (Lily Collins) is one such person in Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil, and Vile. At the beginning of Joe Berlinger’s new movie, Bundy, played ever so disarmingly by Zac Efron, seduces Liz to take him home to her infant daughter in a crib, and then watches over both as she closes her eyes for a late night cuddle....
