Read moreGrand Theft Auto V Review
Where do you begin talking about Grand Theft Auto V? Do you start with the vast, varied, beautiful open world? Do you start with the innovative structure that gives you three independent protagonists you can switch between on the fly? Maybe you talk about the assortment of side activities you can engage in, or the tremendous number of ways in which you can go about making your own fun. Or perhaps you dive right into the game’s story problems, or its serious issues with women. GTA V is a complicated and fascinating game, one that fumbles here and there and has an unnecessary strain of misogynistic nastiness running through it. But it also does amazing things no other open-world game has attempted before, using multiple perspectives to put you in the thick of cinematic heist sequences and other exhilarating, multi-layered missions like no open-world game before.
Those perspectives come courtesy of Michael, Franklin, and Trevor. Michael’s a former crim…

Read moreKingdom Come- Deliverance Review- The Past Comes At You Fast
No matter how much a textbook, TV show, or video game strives to depict the reality of what life was like in ages past, the end result is usually sanitized. The medieval era is a great case in point. Think of this long-ago time today and you imagine noble knights, maidens fair, and fat kings waving around legs of lamb. In truth, the period was more about robbers knifing you in the streets, wenches plying their trade, and lords working you to death on their manors.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance is dirty. Filthy, in fact. This expansive RPG from indie developer Warhorse Studios ditches cliches for a brutal portrayal of the Middle Ages that wastes no time proving how difficult life was in the early 15th century. Every romanticized notion of the era is extinguished through storytelling and a setting that captures the unfairness of existing when life expectancy hovered around 30 years–if you were lucky. Aspects of the game can be a little too unforgiving even for this vicious era due …
Read moreFunko Has Laid Off Mondo Staff, But Its Movie Poster Business Will Continue
It’s the end of an era for movie fans, as Mondo will reportedly no longer produce unique and stylish movie posters. Mondo’s parent company, Funko, has apparently laid off most of the staff at the Austin-based company and killing off its poster division. [Update: While the layoffs have been confirmed, a representative also told GameSpot that Mondo’s poster business will continue.]
According to sources who spoke to TheWrap, Mondo co-founders Rob Jones and Mitch Putnam were also laid off and the company’s division for cutting-edge experiences and products, The Lab, has been shut down. Only the toys and records divisions remain, but as the sources explained, it’s not clear how long they’ll be around for. Senior creative director Eric Garza has also been let go.
Funko purchased Mondo less than a year ago from Alamo Drafthouse, adding a brand to its portfolio that had built a cult following over the years by producing cinematic fine art across limited-edition …
Read moreJohn Lithgow Returns As Trinity Killer For Dexter Revival
Actor John Lithgow will be revisiting his role as the Trinity Killer in the upcoming Dexter revival season, according to Deadline. It’s also being reported that Lithgow will “only film for about a day or so,” which, if true, indicates the character’s return will not command a sizable amount of screen time.
Even if that proves to be the case, regardless, it’s safe to assume Trinity Killer’s presence will be pretty impactful in the next batch of episodes. In the show’s previous run, Lithgow’s character loomed as a revered, feared, and twisted father figure for the titular character’s serial killer trying to make peace with his demons. Deadline is also reporting Lithgow’s filming will take place next week, which means it’s reasonable for further details–including, for example, a longer shoot than initially reported–to come out after the fact.

Read moreKit Harington Explains Why His Game Of Thrones Jon Snow Spin-Off Never Happened
Kit Harington famously played Jon Snow on HBO’s Game of Thrones, and he was working on an idea for a new TV series that would bring the character back. It never happened, though, and now Harington has discussed part of the reason why.
Speaking to Collider, Harington said the he and his collaborators never found a story that lived up to his standards. “It was just about not finding the right story and not finding something that was worth doing, to bring me back to it and to stay in it. It just made less sense, the longer we went on with it, so we recanted,” he said.
He went on to say that his thought process was, “I don’t want to do this unless it’s the most astounding idea and unless it makes total sense.”
Harington said he was “annoyed” by the fact that his plans for a Jon Snow TV series got reported in the press before he was ready to discuss it. He said he hoped to work on the project quietly in the background so that “if it didn’t work, we could just pretend no…
Read moreLego Star Wars- The Skywalker Saga's Delays Have Reportedly Led To "Extensive Crunch"
While we might have grown accustomed to thinking delays are a good thing for developers, granting teams ample time to create the best game possible without resorting to crunch, it turns out that’s not always the case. According to a recent report, this is precisely the situation several TT Games employees found themselves in during their work on Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga–despite the game’s numerous delays.
Per Polygon’s report, more than 20 current and former TT Games employees have come forward with frustrations over “tight development schedules, the company’s crunch culture, and outdated development tools” while working on The Skywalker Saga. Some even said they remember “breaking down outside of work hours because of the workload and some of the stresses they were under.”
