Exclusive: Marvin Jones III (Halo), Michael Xavier (Wild Cards) and Dominic Burgess (Palm Royale) have joined the cast of Prime Video‘s graphic novel series, Criminal, in recurring roles. They join the previously announced leads: Charlie Hunnam, Adria Arjona, Richard Jenkins, Kadeem Hardison and Logan Browning.
Criminal is an interlocking universe of crime stories based on the multi-Eisner Award-winning graphic novel series created by Brubaker and Sean Phillips.
Jones III will play Chester, crime boss Sebastian Hyde’s (John Hawkes) fearsome chief enforcer. Much like a seven-foot-tall man becoming a basketball player whether he likes it or not, Chester was drafted into the criminal life for his size and fearsomeness. He’s no sadist, relying on his reputation and intelligence to get his way. He speaks softly most of the time, but the threat of sudden and deadly violence is always there.

Amazon’s Fallout TV series is arguably one of the best video game adaptations we’ve ever seen. Due to show’s incredible success, many have been wondering if any other Bethesda games will make a similar leap into the world of streaming.
Of course, the top contender on everyone’s tongues is The Elder Scrolls franchise. Although Bethesda’s creative director, Todd Howard, has already shot down multiple pitches for its adaptation, there’s only one actor who can make it a reality, and that’s Henry Cavill.

IGN decided to stop Howard on the red carpet of Fallout’s LA premiere, and ask him a few interesting questions. Although the main topic of the interview was the post-apocalytpic show, the interview also asked whether Bethesda is considering adapting The Elder Scrolls series to small screens.

The latest Doom game has a medieval twist to it. Recently revealed at the Xbox Games Showcase after months of rumors and leaks, the game is set to launch next year on Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC.
But that hasn’t stopped modders from already including one of its best new weapons into the original Doom game – the new shield. This isn’t just any old shield. It’s practically turning players into a brutal and bloody version of Captain America.
The New Shield Has Already Been Modded to the Classic Doom
The upcoming Doom game will have flyable mounts as well.
This shield isn’t just for blocking attacks; you can actually use it as a weapon, throwing it at enemies and watching them get wrecked. The shield looks great, and it’s got this rugged, battle-worn design that fits perfectly with the whole medieval vibe of the game.

As with every week, another Major Order has arrived in Helldivers 2. However, unlike previous orders, this one forces players to decide between two objectives in a rather controversial manner. On one hand, players have the option to rescue a group of survivors that the Automatons have captured.
Alternatively, they can decide to liberate a planet from these robots to acquire anti-tank mines that could be very useful in future missions. Players’ reactions on social media are quite divided, but in the end, it seems that they will make the right choice.

Elder Scrolls 6 was announced in 2018 by Bethesda. Since then, we have heard little to no news about the game, except it officially entered production in 2023 after the studio finished its work with Starfield.
Fans are turning impatient for the upcoming title and criticizing Todd Howard’s studio for not timing the game’s announcement well enough. Fans are comparing the upcoming Elder Scrolls to titles announced simultaneously, which are almost at the end of their lifespan.
Halo Infinite and Elder Scrolls 6 Were Both Announced on the Same Day in 2018
Bethesda cannot risk making the same mistakes as Starfield with The Elder Scrolls 6.
Halo Infinite was a title that challenged the norms in the Fps shooter franchise. This included the game’s multiplayer following a free-to-play model, unlike any others in the franchise, which required gamers to play for the entire game. The game also faced a lot of criticism from purists and series veterans.

The Helldivers 2 community has been waiting for Arrowhead Game Studios to add a vehicle to the game for quite some time since the game’s files hinted that 2 new vehicles will be added soon. Recently, players also suggested that Arrowhead should add a tank similar to Automaton’s Annihilator tanks as the Automatons stole the idea from Super Earth.

The upcoming Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 has already generated a lot of hype among PvP fans with the recent reveal of its 6v6 multiplayer mode. However, to truly make itself stand out from competitors like Helldivers 2, the game needs to introduce another, more PvE-focused feature that has proven to be a massive success in other franchises: a dedicated Horde mode.
Horde Modes have been incredibly popular across many titles, such as Gears of War, Call of Duty: Zombies, and recent Halo games. The mix of arcadey action, wave-based survival gameplay, and co-op fun has resonated with players, providing a thrilling and highly replayable experience.
By taking inspiration from these successful implementations and leveraging the unique strengths of the Warhammer 40K universe, Space Marine 2 could create the ultimate Horde Mode that leaves Helldivers 2 in the dust.

Yahya Abdul-Mateen II will lead the cast of Netflix’s upcoming thriller series “Man on Fire.” He will also executive produce the project alongside Steven Caple Jr., who has been set as director of the first two episodes under showrunner Kyle Killen.
“Man on Fire” is based on A.J. Quinnell’s first two novels about former French Foreign Legion solider John Creasy, titled “Man on Fire” (1981) and “The Perfect Kill” (1992). This is not the first adaptation of the Quinnell novels; Creasy was played by Denzel Washington in a 2004 “Man on Fire” film and by Scott Glenn in 1987.
The logline for Netflix’s adaptation reads, “Once a high functioning and skilled Special Forces Mercenary, known for surviving even the most desolate of situations, Creasy (Mateen) is now plagued with intense Ptsd.

However, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle offers a potential solution to the disappointment of the underwhelming reaction to Bethesda’s current key title. In this article, we’ll examine why the Great Circle could be instrumental in Bethesda regaining the favor of gamers.

The Xbox Games Showcase is one of the biggest events of the gaming calendar, and after PlayStation’s State of Play and Geoff Keighley’s Summer Game Fest, it presents the last big opportunity for gamers to see what’s in store for the following couple of years, at least until Gamescom in August.
Geoff Keighley (of Summer Game Fest fame) went public with his attempt at downplaying the hype around his own showcase this year, which was a first, and with the poor showing of PlayStation, many believe this points to a bumper year for the Xbox Games Showcase.
As with any other showcase, we’ve taken the time to try and figure out the most, least, and completely unlikely predictions for what we may see in the showcase!

Halo has done most of the heavy lifting for Microsoft and its gaming division for Xbox and it appears that the company is interested in sharing the franchise beyond their platform. Rumor has it that the iconic first-party franchise will be remastered and shipped on PlayStation.
The console wars have waged on for many years and the supporters of each platform would often use the strengths of each side such as the hardware and first-party content. The franchise has carried Microsoft for years but it seems like the era of platform exclusivity is nearing the end.
Halo Is Rumored to Be Heading to the PlayStation Platform
The gaming community has mixed feelings about Halo being shipped to a rival platform.
It is unsurprising to see Microsoft pull this move given the track record of the company sharing many first-party games like Sea of Thieves, Hi-Fi Rush, Pentiment, and Grounded. Some...

Is Halo seriously coming to the PlayStation? Right now, Xbox is not in the greatest state. The console company had to shut down three of its subsidiary development studios as a cost-cutting measure. That too, after a historic merger deal with Activision Blizzard worth a staggering $69 billion.
Xbox is thriving right now through some of its exclusive titles and its Game Pass. However, recently it has broken its exclusivity to surface four popular first-party titles on its arch-rival platform, PlayStation. Even popular titles like Starfield and Indiana Jones are rumored to be on PlayStation pretty soon. Now, if Halo joins the party too, then it might well be the final nail in the coffin for Xbox.

After delays and a shift in production from Belfast to Prague, the sci-fi spin off series Blade Runner 2099 is now taking shape. Production is currently underway, and it was announced in May that Michelle Yeoh had joined the cast.

Welcome to Streamers on the Rise, where we find streamers who are growing their channels, content, and audiences in extraordinary ways. Each week we’ll talk with a creator about what goes into livestreaming–both on and off camera.
StreetGrind is a lot of things. A Florida man, a fitness enthusiast, a full-time software engineer, the proud owner of over 120 pairs of nerdy socks–and, over the past couple of years, he’s become a regular fixture in the fighting game community on Twitch.
Life before Twitch was “monotonous,” Street tells Tubefilter. He graduated college in 2012 with a computer engineering degree, and at that time knew nothing about Twitch.
“If I knew it was around, would I have started streaming? Possibly, but there’s no real guarantee that I would’ve had success,” he says. “It would’ve changed my whole life outlook.”

While Microsoft’s current console strategy almost seems directionless, there was a time when the Redmond-based company was on the verge of conquering the North American console market. The Xbox 360 kicked off the seventh generation of consoles in 2005, launching a full year ahead of the PlayStation 3 and Nintendo Wii with a solid lineup of exclusives, an easy-to-use dashboard that was arguably still better than what most systems have today, and an online infrastructure years ahead of its competitors.
And it just got better from there, as the Xbox 360 kept up a steady stream of exclusives across multiple genres, popularized digital distribution with console gamers and greatly expanded the system’s capabilities with the revolutionary Kinect camera. This was the best time to be an Xbox gamer, though it’s a distant memory at this point. The Xbox 360 hasn’t seen a new game in years, and at the end of July,...

It is not new for Sony to hold their exclusives just for PlayStation. Although, in recent years Sony has given access to some of the games but that too after years of its initial release. Sony’s habit of gatekeeping has garnered criticism from fans in recent years and as usual, they fail to reciprocate timely.

Whether exploring post-apocalyptic wastelands or the far reaches of space, it’s easy to get lost in the visual language of a video game world. Transitioning that experience into a cinematic storytelling form is no easy task, but this season has seen more than a few production designers square up to the challenge.
Fallout takes some visual models from the Bethesda game series for an entirely new story, Halo grounds the sci-fi game universe with real world architecture, and although The Witcher exists as a video game series, the Netflix series version focuses on finding depth in Andrzej Sapkowski’s original fantasy novels.

A few matches into a preview demo of Star Wars Hunters, the new multiplayer hero shooter from developer Zynga, the mobile touch-screen controls really start to click. Let’s be clear up front: I almost exclusively play on consoles with a controller, so it takes me a pummeling or two (or three) in the 4v4 shooter to get the hang of the movement, aiming, and special abilities on an iPhone screen. But it’s easy to get hooked by the world of Hunters even before you get good, especially if you’re already Star Wars fan. From the few hours I played the game with developers and fellow members of the press, it’s clear that the team at Zynga have made something that really feels like it belongs in Star Wars.

There was once a time when Xbox was hailed for its exclusives compared to its competition. In the 2000s, we saw the release of Halo, Gears, and Forza games, which defined an entire generation of gamers and changed how we played games. However, something happened in the 2010s, and Xbox’s quality of first-party titles took a massive nosedive.
Xbox’s slump of bad exclusives didn’t end with Series S/X either, and it worsened. In response, Microsoft started buying studios, left and right, and assembling new teams to work on major console-exclusive games for the Xbox family of consoles. 2024 was supposed to be our first look at how Xbox exclusives have improved, and it seems like we’re in for a rollercoaster yet again.

The history of Hollywood adapting video games in movies and TV shows has been a little spotty, to say the least, but in recent years, I think the tide has been turning. With shows like The Last of Us and Fallout, video game fans have developed a little hope to see their favorite adapted into a great piece of art and while there will still be wasted efforts like Netflix’s The Witcher and Paramount+’s Halo, they are still only two shows. So, in keeping with that spirit of hope we created a list of the 10 best TV shows that were adapted from video games, they can be original stories in the world of video games but they have to be connected to the original IP.

Star Trek, like most properties over at Paramount+, is ramping up production to keep up with Hollywood’s increasing demand for franchise entries in established IPs.
