Hellboy is notable for being one of very few comic book characters outside of Marvel and DC Comics to have ever received a movie reboot. While both of the Guillermo Del Toro's Hellboy and its sequel, Hellboy II The Golden Army were great, they took a lot of liberties with the source material, changing a lot of elements from the comics. The 2019 He...
So Shazam! is a blast. It's got superheroics, it's got heart, and best of all it proves that Warner Bros. execs should have gone for the cartoony over-the-top aesthetics and tone ala Justice League Unlimited and all those other WB Animation fares. Let's talk about how it ended, and what it means for the DC Extended Universe. The climax of Shaza...
The Hellboy movie reboot in coming out soon. In anticipation of the upcoming movie, let's revisit the time when Big Red visited Malaysia and fought a Penanggalan.

Ever had one of those days where you just want to plop into an alien world and just gun down unlimited amounts of aliens and floating things while you travel from world to world?

There's quite a resurgence of horror going on these past few months. From stellar showings like Hereditary to last March's Us to even this week's remake of Pet Sematary, we are blessed and thrilled as fans and aficionados of the genre. I've decided to recount the best horror films of the past decade. That means stuff that was made from 2009 onward...
It's no secret that the best themes and music can make people remember films they didn't even watch or games they didn't even play. I know a bunch of people who haven't touched Halo and yet they remember that main theme melody in the Bungie-composed theme. The same goes for Mario, Sonic, and a slew of other retro titles. Sakura Wars for the Sega S...

You can sense things are going south for the rest of your team, and your suspicions are confirmed when a third party shows up and shoots them dead. Fortunately, they don’t see you and go a...
Marvel Studios couldn't just announce that Avengers Endgame tickets were going on sale; they had to release a new trailer as well. Running at exactly one minute long, the new 'special look' video does have some interesting bits to show. [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KCSNFZKbhZE&w=560&h=315] The new Avengers Endgame trailer begins...
2011: Eons after suffering through the many 3D Mortal Kombat games where fighters can switch between stances and pull off custom Fatalities, I was incredibly skeptical about the Mortal Kombat reboot. This was my time at GameSpot, so I was on high alert as to whether Ed Boon and his then-new studio can recapture the glory days of the simple-but-fun ...
Did you know that music accounts for a huge percentage in your video game experience? I mean, imagine fighting the dragons in Skyrim without a piece of background music, it's awkward and wouldn't deliver the same goosebump-inducing moment. So it's understandable that many of the sounds and music in video games have a certain tale behind each beat....
Who is Shazam? Is he just a magical carbon copy of Superman? Far from it. The character has undergone quite a complicated history since he first debuted almost 80 years ago. He was the original Captain Marvel, the first character ever to go by that name, and ironically not Marvel Comics' Captain Marvel (who only made his debut in 1958). B...
As much as we love being exhilarated by action RPGs and the occasional ball-buster like Sekiro, sometimes we like to shut our brains off and just press away for instant results and gratification. That's where the clicker games come in: whether they're for PC or mobile, you can count on these Skinner box tools to make you feel like you've achieved s...
My past few SoundScape videos have been focused on Japanese music composers, so it's time we changed that. In the next few months, I'll be doing these discography "best of" video features primarily spotlighting the best composers the US and Europe have to offer. First up: Jeremy Soule. Check out the video mixtape feature below to check out his h...
Games can be hard, but if you’ve played Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, you’re probably reconsidering what difficulty even means. Sekiro is a game that preys on the typical gaming habits we may have developed over the years. Dodging, a staple in action games, just doesn’t work against many attacks; to effectively win, you may have ...
After watching the live-action Dumbo remake by Tim Burton -you know, the one about the flying elephant- there's been a question that's been plaguing my mind: Where are the live-action versions of the crow brothers? I mean, if you want to talk about race representation in films back in the day, they have that by the boatload. Just not in a posit...
According to statistics provided by Newzoo, Southeast Asia (SEA) is the world's fastest-growing games market, despite only accounting for 3.1% of the total games market in 2019. That's because the SEA games market is expected to generate a whopping $4.6 billion in revenue this year, which is a remarkable 22 percent increase from 2018. Asian Publi...
In a world where live-service games are popular, it's hard not to compare each of the games against one another. Moreover, the market for such games is almost saturated. So, each of the products in the market should have a unique selling proposition. So, recently I peeled off from my daily dose of Destiny 2 to dive in the military looter shooter...
