The 1960s TV sitcom The Addams Family was brilliant, but could only go so far because of the sensitivities of the times. Barry Sonnenfeld’s 1991 creature feature comedy classic The Addams Family, which celebrates its 30th anniversary this month, is marvelous, but Raul Julia is far too handsome to capture the repugnance of Chas Addams original drawings. The Addams Family 2, an animated sequel recently released in theaters and on demand, turns Cousin It into a plush toy....

Childe is Genshin Impact’s newest playable character, having been added to the game as part of its massive update a little less than two weeks ago. As a 5-star character, he’s highly sought after, to the extent that I spent the equivalent of almost $200 trying to get him (reader, I did not get him). The reason Childe is so desirable is primarily because of his unique combat style. As opposed to using either a bow or a melee weapon, Childe’s elemental abilities give him access to both....

When Crash Bandicoot N Sane Trilogy was revealed in 2016 Playstation fans rejoiced, as the series had been on a long hiatus....

Accessible stages receive a lot of attention while inaccessible areas usually look generic. In some cases, however, developers include crazy places without letting you explore them. This is a bold strategy. By giving players a present they can’t open, developers risk mass disappointment. However, smart developers turn an inaccessible location into its own reward....

Hiroshi Matsuyama, CEO of CyberConnect2, voiced his heightened anticipation for an unannounced project in a Twitter post on Saturday. Makers of many beloved anime-based experiences, such as Naruto Ultimate, Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot, and the .hack series, CC2 clearly has something special planned for its fanbase, given Matsuyama-san’s emotionally charged remarks.
