Secret Level might have been a bit naff, but a lot of people watched it anyway, so Amazon is renewing it for a second season. It seems like video adaptations are having a really good year this year – both Fallout and Arcane did exceptionally well at the time of their respective releases, and now the animated anthology series Secret Level has seemingly done incredibly well too, as Amazon is giving it a second...

While hype for The Witcher 4‘s rightly through the roof right now after it got a cool new trailer at The Game Awards last week, odds are we’ve still got a good while to wait before we can all head off on the path as Ciri. However, if you’re pining to get a bit of a taste of roleplaying as the grown up, monster slayer version of everyone’s favorite child of the elder blood right...

Without a release date in sight, Sony finally confirms who’s directing Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse, but don’t worry, they didn’t just sign up. Remember when Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse was meant to come out in March of this year? Ha! That sure was an optimistic bet from Sony.

I think I speak for many of us when I ask: Weren’t we done with hero shooters? After the market was saturated with them and Overwatch 2 turned...

I have a vicious love-hate relationship with Pokemon TCG Pocket. It is, without a doubt, my favourite mobile game released this year. It is a wonderful game, taking a snapshot out of the physical TCG and morphing it into this easy to endearing virtual collectathon. It has, also, manifested a side of me I thought died once I turned 21 years old. An angrier me, with a visceral hatred for strangers around the world. Pokemon...

Prepare yourselves, parents, as Bluey is making its way to the big screen, but don’t worry, it’s not out for a couple of years. Ever since it arrived in 2018, you haven’t been able to spend a single second with a child without Bluey cropping up in some shape or form. It’s been a massive hit with kids, though it’s also been incredibly popular with their parents and adults more generally too. The...

You might well have forgotten about Exodus in the year since it was first revealed at The Game Awards 2023 by actor Matthew McConaughey, who’s playing a mysterious “major character” in it called C.C Orlev.
