During an interview with Marc Maron on the WTF podcast, Mann said the sequel is already underway. “Yes,” Maron responded when asked whether the film was in the works (via The Playlist). “I can’t talk about it, but yes… this is a book, but it’s also going to be a very large movie.”

In an Empire Magazine interview, Mann spoke at length about his view for how the new novel will crack open a kind of Heat cinematic universe. The novel Heat 2, which he co-wrot…

And honestly, some days, it’s been hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel.”

Staten said it is his hope that Master Chief’s story in Halo Infinite helps lift your spir…

A Halo Infinite developer has responded to a gameplay video making the rounds about the sci-fi shooter’s use of aim assist on PC. Lead sandbox designer Quinn DelHoyo shared some important context about what’s actually happening in an attempt to downplay concerns about it.

There’s something timelessly scary about cornfields. Their impenetrable depth and intimidating height can quickly disorient anyone who stumbles into one, leaving them desperate to find an exit path, and turning a simple field of grain into the setting of a horror story. Villainous Games leans into this universal truth as the centerpiece of its folk horror game, Harvest Hunt. Pitted against a ceaseless monster hellbent on corrupting and consuming a village, it’s the game’s interlocking systems that make it worthwhile, even when the creature leaves something to be desired.

In Harvest Hunt, you’re tasked with amassing enough ambrosia over five-night-long runs to secure your village’s immediate future. The deeper you get into a harvest season, the higher the requir…

Comedian and actor Amy Schumer has set a new unscripted series at HBO Max, according to a release. Spanning eight half-hour episodes, Amy Learns To… sees Schumer “step out of her comfort zone and into someone else’s.” This is the comedian’s second unscripted series for HBO, after the 2020 docuseries Expecting Amy, which chronicled her pregnancy journey.

As a synopsis, that’s still admittedly pretty vague–all that’s known is that the show promises to have Schumer “learn a new skill, craft, or trade from a local expert in her husband’s hometown of Martha’s Vineyard.” This show extends a brand Schumer has been building for herself since the start of the pandemic, when she pivoted on the Food Network to with the aptly titled Amy Schumer Learns to Cook, in which she simila…

If you’ve ever stepped into Samus Aran’s boots for a Metroid adventure, you’ll instantly recognize parallels in Headlander’s world structure, outfits, and animations. It doesn’t beat around the bush: you shoot laser guns, explore sprawling maps, and hunt for hidden power-ups–Metroid in a nutshell.

On the other hand, years of experience with Samus can’t prepare you for Headlander’s lead character: a head in a rocket-powered jar. Without a body to call home, you have to decapitate robots and steal their bodies to fight back. This is but one of many refreshing concepts on display, not the least of which is a stylized 70s sci-fi aesthetic that’s immediately appealing. Headlander is dripping with color, laced with humor, and anything but typical.
