It’s been a year and a half since Game Of Thrones aired its final episode ‘The Iron Throne’ (although it feels a lot longer thanks to 2020 time dilation), and now a ‘Complete Collection’ box-set has arrived. It’s slightly odd to behold these 33 discs, squeezed into eight Blu-ray cases, snuggled up in a lovely box, with a little booklet nestled in. So much time has passed since the world watched that finale and the online discourse erupted with the fiery ferocity of Cersei’s attack on the Sept Of Baelor....

Sonic Mania sees the return of the iconic hedgehog in a way that has thus far only been seen in fan-made remakes of the original Genesis games. Instead of being a high-speed rodent in a 3D world, Sonic Mania goes back to those simple sprites zooming at insane velocities in a world as 2D as paper....

Lately, it seems like every video game is getting a movie adaptation. Two that seem to be on everyone’s mind are the Resident Evil reboot, and the upcoming Borderlands movie. Resident Evil is directed by Johannes Roberts of 47 Meters Down and The Strangers: Prey at Night, both of which were small-scale horror films. 47 Meters Down is a shark movie, which admittedly doesn’t seem hugely promising, but a lot of fans think that with the nature of 47 Meters Down being a creature feature, it showcases how Roberts would likely be successful at portraying the zombies and other various monsters present from the video game....

Unlocked after completing 30 stages, the Engineer is a powerful character that will take some time to earn. That unlock requirement is for the best, however, as much of the Engineer’s abilities require great game knowledge to use well. Everyone can place down two turrets and shoot down monsters, but it takes practice to strafe around the map and use your primary attack well. Engineer’s versatile and damage-oriented kit makes him perfect for solo or group runs alike....
