The Island is, understandably, a much-maligned segment of Resident Evil 4. It comes after the exceptionally long Castle section, which really wears out its welcome by the end.

We’re going to be getting superhero games for a long time. AlthoughMarvelis currently wobbling andDCis going through a hard reboot, a few years ago superheroes were king, and video games are always a little behind the curve. We knowIron Man,Wonder Woman,Wolverine,Black Panther, and Captain Americagames are in development, and there’s likely plenty more besides. Whenever people ask for a superhero game, they usually just ask for their favourite - hey, I get it....

Lightfall is the fifth annual expansion for Destiny 2, and marks the beginning of the ninth year since the series began. Destiny has grown immeasurably over that time, and so much has changed since we first awoke with the Traveler’s Light. All of those years of additions and revisions have made Destiny 2 a behemoth of a game, while the occasional sacrifice of older content has fractured the story such that a new player will never be able to experience the story in its totality....

Somewhere,Martin Scorsese is sipping whiskey with a wry smile. Or would be, if he cared about any of this. I’ve long been a defender of theMCU, and always have my reliable line of ‘I’ve seen everyMarvelmovie since Iron Man 2 on opening weekend’ to fall back on. That streak continued with Ant-Man and the Wasp Quantumania, and I must say, I wish it didn’t. It’s not just a bad movie. I can live with those every once in a while as the Marvel machine keeps on trucking....
