The internet exploded yesterday with the news that Ben Affleck would return to his role as the DCEU Batman for The Flash movie, his first time in the Dark Knight’s cape and cowl since 2016’s Batman v.

Disney is all in when it comes to streaming and its bets have been paying off quite handsomely, as seen with the overwhelming success of shows like The Mandalorian and WandaVision.

There’s a certain type of person that’s going to totally click with Black Legend. I know, because I’m one of them. The problem with Black Legend is that if you’re aren’t in the very narrow band of people that love the 17th century aesthetic, Bloodborne, and low-sim tactics games, you’re simply not going to be willing to put up with all of the frustrating things about Black Legend. If, like me, you really like all three of those things, Black Legend has an interesting way of blending its influences into something that feels fairly original....

Aside from oozing nostalgia and adding some updated textures to the 2009 classic, the Borderlands remaster added a golden chest which has been supported by Gearbox for over a year. Despite most Borderlands players replaying the second game or redeeming Golden Keys in Borderlands 3, Gearbox is still dropping shift codes for the fans that are still exploring the remaster....

BPM: Bullets Per Minute is addictive, deeply challenging, and equally as rewarding. It is by no means perfect, but what it lacks in visuals and polish it makes up for with its rock-solid concept and spot-on fundamentals. A unique blend of genres, BPM’s core elements mix together to create a rhythm FPS rogue-like in which players will shoot, reload, jump, and dash in time with an adrenaline-pumping hard rock soundtrack. Both FPS gameplay and the rhythm elements are executed near-perfectly, which helps to make up for the game’s terrible visual style and occasionally grating rogue-like randomness....
