The Last of Us 2is keeping fans waiting since it andmany other games were delayed last October, but that has not stopped many super fans from digging through what is available and formulating ideas about the game.

Video game movies have a turbulent history, with many being absolutely forgettable at the end of the day. Whether it’s the classicMortal Kombat, Mario,or other titles, there’s a common belief in the “video game movie curse,” or that they are always bad, for a reason. Some recent movies, likeDetective Pikachu, break the video game movie curse, while others seem doomed by it (such asUncharted, which hasn’t had the best public reception thus far and isn’t even out yet)....

Solar Oppositesis back and bigger than ever, promising all sorts of crazy hijinks and wacky adventures for the kooky alien family at the center of the show, and there’s a trailer that promises it all.

Many movies are classified as both horror and thrillers, which can be confusing since they’re actually different genres. But since these stories have so much in common, it can be tough to tell them apart and see what they each have to offer. It’s interesting to think about what makes a thriller tale different from a horror film, especially since both are so popular and there are new releases in each genre coming out all the time....

Some have extraordinary, world-altering abilities,like Jean Grey or Storm.Others are a bit less influential, with abilities that aren’t all that powerful, like the kid fromX2who can change TV channels by blinking, or Wraith, whose only ability is to make his skin transparent. However, there are times when a powerful mutant from theX-Mencomics is adapted for a live-action movie and becomes…a bit less powerful....

There’s no understating the popularity of thePersonafranchise. The fifth entry in the series,Persona 5,has been especially popular since its release in 2016. Fans and critics alike hail the game as one of the finest in the series for its mechanics, story, and overall tone. The game’s publisher, Atlus, has another long-running franchise that fans ofPersonawould be wise to try out:Disgaea. At first the similarities between theDisgaeaandPersonafranchises seem superficial. Both games share anime-inspired visuals that seem clearly inspired by anime likeYu Yu HakushoandCowboy Bebop....

Pokemonfeels like a franchise that has struck an endless supply of gold. After more than 25 years it continues to produce movies, shows, trading card sets, and probably the most important, video games. Even after eight generations, each new story feels unique while still building upon the original premise that started on the Game Boy. But just asPokemonhas remained popular, so have clones of the franchise. Pokemon’sformula is fairly easy to adapt, and while not every fan-made game or inspired title is necessarily a clone, some releases are pretty exact in their replication....
