  • 'Apocalypse Cow' is a platform game inspired by 'Wreck-It Ralph'

    One of the best things about attending GDC is that, more often than not, you come across some of the best-looking independent titles. Today, that honor goes to Apocalypse Cow, a cinematic adventure game that draws inspiration from animated films like Wreck-It Ralph and genre-classics such as Super Mario. This 2D platformer, developed by an indie studio called Monsters, features the story of a character named Penny who tries to figure out what caused a glitch in a digital universe made up of video game worlds -- hence the homage to Wreck-It Ralph.

  • Epic's long-awaited 'Fortnite' hits consoles and PC July 25th

    We've been waiting on Epic Games' fort-building monster defense game Fortnite for a long, long time. First announced in 2011, the developer's initial Unreal Engine 4 title was slated to be a PC exclusive. A trailer released in 2014 gave interested fans a bit of hope, and we even saw the gameplay at E3 in 2015. Now that we've hit 2017, though, Fortnite is poised to actually release on July 25th to PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC and Mac, along with "paid early access" to the game via pre-order.

  • 'Pokémon Go' update gives cheaters lousy monsters

    With a new update, Pokémon Go cheaters won't be banned, but instead thrown into a depressing purgatory. As spotted by Reddit's hardcore Pokémon Go site, Silph Road, Niantic is now "shadowbanning" cheaters by only letting them find humdrum monsters like Pidgey. In a statement, Niantic support said "people who violate the Pokémon Go Terms of Service may have their gameplay affected and may not be able to see all the Pokémon around them."

  • 'Creature From the Black Lagoon' Finds Its Voice, Set to Return From the Deep

    Universal has tapped scribe Will Beall to write the Black Lagoon reboot. For Beall, there must be something in the water, because this is his second aquatic movie in a row, hot off of DC’s upcoming Aquaman entry. In the 1954 classic The Creature From the Black Lagoon, the iconic “Gill-Man” was a member of an ancient race, discovered in the Amazon by a scientific expedition but long known to natives by way of legend. An abandoned remake in the 2000s reportedly updated Gill-Man’s origins, depicting him as the result of pharmaceutical pollution in the Amazon.

  • The Mummy trailer awakens an ancient evil

    ‘The Mummy’ is here and its creepier than ever. Tom Cruise looks well and truly screwed as he awakens an ancient evil in the latest trailer for ‘The Mummy’. Heading up a special forces crew that gets a bit too close for comfort with an old Egyptian tomb, it looks as though Cruise faces an evil presence as old as the pyramids themselves.

  • 'Sesame Street' seemingly disses president-elect Donald Trump on Twitter

    Did 'Sesame Street' just drag president-elect Donald Trump on Twitter? The Twitterverse seems to think so.

  • ‘X-Files’ Monster Brings Lots of Laughs

    Rhys Darby guest starred on X-Files Monday, and the comedian from New Zealand helped make it one of the most fun episodes to date. Mulder and Scully were investigating a string of recent murders when they stumbled on Darby’s character, Guy Mann. Guy appears to be a normal person but he confesses to Mulder that he is actually a lizard man that was bitten by a human causing him to become a human.

  • 'X-Files' Creator: 'I Thought The FBI Was Going To Shut Me Down'

    A mysterious man told Chris Carter that his conspiracy-themed TV classic was too close to the truth.

  • Godzilla and King Kong will share one cinematic universe

    Because everything needs a cinematic universe, Legendary Pictures and Warner Bros. have announced that Godzilla and King Kong will share one across three movies scheduled to follow the Godzilla flick released in 2014. There will be Kong: Skull Island in 2017, Godzilla 2 in 2018 and finally, Godzilla vs. Kong in 2020, while the press release dangles the possibility of other "famous creatures" joining in. While the idea of giant monsters and robots fighting is hardly new, the prospect of real-life robot combat plus an inevitable slew of spinoff toys, videogames and new effects for these movies has us more than ready. Perhaps it's even time for another Rampage -- does Warner Bros. still own those old Midway trademarks? [Image credit: Pictorial Press Ltd / Alamy]

  • Here's What That One Horrifying 'AHS' Scene Was All About

    Ryan Murphy called it "the most disturbing" thing they've done so far.

  • JXE Streams: Slaying monsters with a vengeance in 'The Witcher 3'

    You've likely seen the infamous "sex on a stuffed unicorn" scene by now, but what's the rest of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt really about? That's what I'm hoping to show you today on this latest edition of JXE Streams. The Witcher is kind of an anomaly, really: a long-running PC role-playing series (based upon Polish fantasy novels) with a dedicated fanbase, but when the console port The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings arrived on Xbox 360 back in 2012, not many people paid attention to it. Fast forward three years and its sequel is one of the most highly anticipated games of the month. We're going to dive into some caves, fight some monsters and hopefully avoid any not-safe-for-work shenanigans so you don't get into any trouble if the boss walks by your desk.

  • A dragon interloper is approaching ArcheAge

    ArcheAge is gearing up for its December update, and that means getting ready for a dragon. A long time ago in the in-game lore, the dragon Misagon tried to take the land of Erenor for himself and his kin, which led to the Nuon rising up and killing him because that's just a really rude way to move in. The dragons panicked and left, but one among them started planning for Dragon Invasion II: The Dragoning. That invasion is going down as part of the December update, with the somewhat uncreatively named Red Dragon leading his minions in an assault on Erenor. This is the same dragon who resorted to feeding on other dragons to get stronger, so you know he's... well, not a good guy. Go ahead and check out the lore post for a slightly less irreverent explanation of what flies forth on crimson wings, and get ready to undertake some dragon hunting in the game's next major patch.

  • A look at new nautical monsters from the Korean ArcheAge

    After a wait so long that more or less everyone could be forgiven for thinking it would never happen, ArcheAge has finally entered its early access period here in America. But that doesn't mean you don't have more to look forward to. Over on YouTube, InporylemQQ has taken a peek at a pair of nautical additions coming to the Korean version of the game, major PvE monsters meant to challenge players. The first foe on display is a massive sea beast that's easily larger than the vessel of the player in the video; it gets a few good hits on the ship before it slips beneath the waves. There's also a ghost ship that fires cannon at the player. Both appear to be high-end monsters meant to challenge players with adequate gear, and both were added in patch 1.7 -- which means that they're a fair way off in the game's updates in the West. Think of them as coming attractions. [Thanks to Karl for the tip!]
