The overhauled visuals of Gears of War: Reloaded take a classic 2006 Xbox 360 game and transform it, creating a classic title with modern graphics for new systems. Although the gameplay hasn't changed from the original, the reworked visuals significantly upgrade the title in almost every regard, providing a fresh experience. This remaster approach could benefit many titles from the same era, including one I would love to see return. from Screen Rant https://ift.tt/LBvwiYV

When it comes to classic rock music , I've been an enthusiast of the genre for many years . Growing up, I was well-educated in the melodic arts, such as some of the most underrated, must-listen classic rock albums of the '70s and '80s , as well as the musicians of the "classic" era who left their bands behind in favor of starting an ultimately successful solo career . Whether it was through radio airplay or the work of CDs, vinyl, and cassettes, my personal music library has long included a classic rock wing of a significantly large and ornate size. from Screen Rant https://ift.tt/TE6zXiG

After decades in the commercial wilderness, metal music is currently enjoying a sizable renaissance. With both Ghost and Sleep Token enjoying number 1 albums in the United States for the first time in eons, there is more cause for optimism for heavy bands than there has been in some time. from Screen Rant https://ift.tt/H6zopLj

Prime Video and Jensen Ackles' Countdown premiered today, and it's already dividing critics and audiences on Rotten Tomatoes. Countdown follows Mark Meachum (Ackles) as he investigates the murder of a Homeland Security officer and uncovers a massive and deadly plot. It has also already gained some notoriety, and there's even been discussion of Countdown season 2 even before season 1 premiered. At this early stage, however, the reviews for Countdown season 1 are one of the most important factors in the show's renewal, and they're already divided between critics and audiences. from Screen Rant https://ift.tt/o4hQ5dG

With Pedro Pascal's Marvel Cinematic Universe debut getting closer this summer, The Fantastic Four: First Steps star remains coy about Avengers: Doomsday . Although the MCU timeline has been building up to the introduction of Marvel's First Family, fans will be seeing a lot of them in Phase 6, as the Fantastic Four will return in Avengers: Doomsday . from Screen Rant https://ift.tt/VAwpGu4

While the Xbox Series X|S isn't selling as badly as the Wii U, it's clear from reports that it'll be tough if it even matches the total lifetime sales of the Xbox One, but that's where the Next-Gen Xbox comes into play. Just last week, Xbox announced its partnership with AMD regarding the next generation of Xbox, both in the living room and in your hands. It looks like the Next-Gen Xbox will be more akin to a PC than a console , not being limited to one storefront or a single device. from Screen Rant https://ift.tt/f5uKBZa

One of the biggest contributing factors to Suits LA ’s failure was the lack of a Mike replacement, but the West-Coast spinoff wasn’t without any options. Patrick J. Adams’ Mike Ross was arguably the most important character in the original series , and his dynamic with Gabriel Macht’s Harvey Specter helped Suits achieve universal acclaim during its initial airing. Though many had high hopes for the California-based spinoff, Suits LA was canceled before its first season had even finished airing on NBC. from Screen Rant https://ift.tt/tmHyEvj

When people talk about Studio Ghibli’s finest work, a few titles always dominate the conversation as Spirited Away, My Neighbor Totoro , and Princess Mononoke tend to top most lists, and for good reason. These are films of deep artistry and emotional impact, with visuals and themes that have rightly become iconic. But for all the love these masterpieces receive, there is another film in the Ghibli catalog that deserves just as much attention, and arguably even more admiration for how ahead of its time it was. from Screen Rant https://ift.tt/HmTPl7G

The FBI franchise is growing with the new series CIA , and Tom Ellis' new reveal makes me more excited about it. The series already had me by casting Tom Ellis in the lead role, but this character sounds more interesting as details come out. At the same time, it also sounds that this isn’t just another FBI TV series , which adds to its appeal. from Screen Rant https://ift.tt/YjD4yop

Swift shared an update about her re-recordings and her masters in a letter on her website on May 30th celebrating the reclamation of all her original work.

Spaceballs 2 's 2027 release window means that the film won't be hitting theaters until 40 years after the original Spaceballs , and while that has been a long time for fans of the parody film to wait, I am convinced that it is a good thing. Although legacy comedy sequels don't have a great track record, Spaceballs 2 seems incredibly exciting , with the existence of the Star Wars sequel and prequel trilogies giving the film a lot of material to work with. However, this is just one of the many reasons that the four decade wait could improve Spaceballs . from Screen Rant https://ift.tt/4FpqY7Z

2025 has been an awful year for Xbox Series X|S physical media, and following this year's Xbox Games Showcase, where many titles received pre-order details, the situation is looking even more worrying. Not a single first-party game will receive a proper physical release on Xbox, except for perhaps Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4 , which is releasing on July 11 . Xbox's physical media support has been this way for years, but especially now, with every game receiving the same treatment, many people are only just realizing that it's the end of an era. from Screen Rant https://ift.tt/m9zsgQP

The Jedi rule against attachments may be one of the most well-known concepts in Star Wars , but Master Yoda was actually fine with romantic relationships for Jedi—just not the way Anakin Skywalker and Padmé Amidala were doing it. Padmé and Anakin's secret marriage became one of the biggest issues in the prequels, not only because of its impact on Anakin's Star Wars timeline , but also because it effectively doomed the galaxy. Yet, as forbidden as that relationship was, the High Republic series revealed that Jedi Avar Kriss and Elzar Mann had a romantic relationship, and Yoda shockingly approved . from Screen Rant https://ift.tt/CAFwhMN

It's pretty well-established that Larian Studios isn't interested in making a sequel to Baldur's Gate 3 , but that doesn't mean Baldur's Gate 4 won't get picked up eventually by another studio. If and when that happens, I'd be interested to see one particular character given a complete personality overhaul: Wyll. This devilish NPC has an enjoyable enough storyline in the grand scheme of things, but his personality itself could have used a bit of complexity. This becomes even more glaring when compared to how they approached Wyll's character in the early access versions of BG3 . from Screen Rant https://ift.tt/TblJCc4

Superman movie director James Gunn gets brutally honest about the pressure being placed on his DC Universe movie. Following the conclusion of the DCEU movie timeline , DC Studios has been working actively on their new DCU franchise, which will introduce a new era through Gunn and Peter Safran's superhero reboot.

Cole Hauser gives one of the best performances in Yellowstone as Rip Wheeler, but he was originally intended to play a completely different character. Premiering in 2018, Yellowstone quickly became one of the most popular shows on television, and its success eventually led to Taylor Sheridan building out a shared universe that explores various moments in the Yellowstone timeline . With several spinoff projects in the works, the Yellowstone universe doesn't look to be slowing down anytime soon. from Screen Rant https://ift.tt/9Q2SGuB

It's no exaggeration that metal has one of the most notoriously difficult-to-impress fanbases across all of music 's fandom.

Alan Moore’s epic Watchmen series is often cited as the best superhero comic book of all time, but according to horror author Joe Hill, another one of Moore’s classic graphic novels deserves to be lauded as the author’s masterpiece: From Hell , the surreal Jack the Ripper story that truly pushes the limit of the comic medium. from Screen Rant https://ift.tt/0qZlEWM

Iron Man 's first real suit in the MCU is almost perfectly believable, according to an expert, " except for the arc reactor. " After launching the MCU with his first solo movie in 2008, Iron Man's iconic look became synonymous with the franchise and the superhero genre as a whole. At a time when superheroes were still expected to be somewhat grounded in reality, the introduction of a genius with no superpowers to speak of was the perfect inroad to a cinematic franchise that is now replete with fantastical elements, such as magic and space gods. from Screen Rant https://ift.tt/s4Wzk0X

Warning: Contains spoilers for Kagurabachi. With little warning, it looks as if Kagurabachi will be going on a sudden break in Shonen Jump . Despite how much of its early popularity was largely ironic and meant to make fun of it, Kagurabachi has slowly become one of Shonen Jump ’s biggest hits thanks to its incredible action and surprisingly strong writing, and with My Hero Academia and Jujutsu Kaisen both over, it’s easily one of the main stories supporting the magazine right now. from Screen Rant https://ift.tt/xtGM4US

Three movies from Alfred Hitchcock - all of which are classics in their own right - share a surprising connection that binds them all together. During the 1950s, the critically acclaimed and celebrated filmmaker helmed a handful of now-legendary films, including To Catch a Thief , Rear Window , The Man Who Knew Too Much , Vertigo , and North by Northwest . Three of these all star James Stewart, who had worked with Hitchcock in the prior decade via the 1948 thriller, Rope . from Screen Rant https://ift.tt/OAo5zKy

The latest installment in one of the biggest action franchises today, From the World of John Wick: Ballerina , debuted in theaters last weekend, drumming up a disappointing box office opening for the latest spinoff. The new film makes the Baba Yaga scary again , and has been met with positive reception from both audiences and critics. However, it only scored a $25 million opening and came in below tracking, which was set at about $35 million. Following the growth of the John Wick franchise, this is not a strong start, although the film is not yet doomed. from Screen Rant https://ift.tt/vl3Fc5e

While there are quite a few ongoing games and future projects in the works using the Marvel IP, Arc System Works surprised everyone with the reveal of Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls , a 2D tag-team fighting game. Following in the wake of Marvel Rivals , it seems that Disney is content to lend the heroes and villains of Marvel to Eastern developers, and Arc System Works is one of the best possible choices for fighting games. While not as famous outside the genre, Arc System Works is famed for the consistent quality of its fighting games, and Marvel Tōkon doesn't seem like an exception. from Screen Rant https://ift.tt/PmzJBr5

Warning: Spoilers ahead for Doctor Who season 15, episode 8, "The Reality War." Doctor Who season 15, episode 8, "The Reality War," brought about an unexpected end to Ncuti Gatwa's reign as the Fifteenth Doctor, and although the show wrapped up some of its more recent storylines, it left several loose ends unresolved and even introduced brand-new arcs. While Doctor Who season 16 isn't yet confirmed , it's largely expected to happen whether Disney ends its collaboration with the BBC early or otherwise. What's most up for debate is exactly when the saga will continue. from Screen Rant https://ift.tt/LaMoc0x

Rory's boyfriends – Dean, Jess, and Logan – each had a part to play in Rory's development in Gilmore Girls , but there was always one who understood her better than the rest. Though Gilmore Girls' main goal was to chronicle Rory and Lorelai's development as mother and daughter, women, and friends, their respective romances played a major part in their narrative arcs. Rory was never one for a short relationship. Each boyfriend impacted her life deeply, both positively and negatively, even when she was still just a teenager. from Screen Rant https://ift.tt/N9ExrLp

While Yellowstone may currently hold the heavyweight belt for Western TV shows , there are plenty of series in the genre that aren't a part of the Taylor Sheridan experience. The Taylor Sheridanverse of TV shows now includes everything from Old West legends like Lawmen: Bass Reeves , to gritty gangster dramas like Mayor of Kingstown , to modern action-thrillers like Special Ops: Lioness , but it's in the Western genre where the showrunner and writer appears to be most comfortable, with several shows taking place in the setting. from Screen Rant https://ift.tt/w7rFMN9

As a fan of platformers, I'm eagerly awaiting any announcements about a new Mario game coming to the Nintendo Switch 2 . However, I'm not terribly concerned about the state of the next 3D Mario title. Don't get me wrong, I've loved all the 3D games up until this point, and I'll be excited to play what comes next. That said, a great 3D Mario game like Super Mario Odyssey is essentially the norm for Nintendo, so I'm more worried about the future of a different type of Mario game. from Screen Rant https://ift.tt/JfpecRh
