Read moreIndiana Jones and the Great Circle might be first-person, but that doesn’t mean MachineGames is making it an outright shooter.MachineGames is pretty well known for its first-person shooters – in fact, it’s even lauded for them, in particular its affinity towards games that let you absolutely wreck Nazis (i.e., Wolfenstein), something Indiana Jones does a lot as well. But something Indy doesn’t do all that much is use guns (apart from that one famous scene). He’s more of a whip and fists kind of guy, and recently the game’s creative director Axel Torvenius spoke with Edge magazine (via GamesRadar) about not relying on gunplay too much, which the team views more of a “fallback solution” than anything else.To see this content please enable targeting cookies.Manage cookie settings “We do not e…

Read moreJames Gunn’s Superman film is still mostly being kept under wraps, but it seems like a certain super pup will be making an appearance somewhere along the line.As of right now, storywise, we really don’t know all that much about Superman, previously known as Superman: Legacy, other than what we’ve seen from set photos. Those set photos did raise some questions though, particularly one of a dog dressed up as Superman (which admittedly is likely just a crew member’s dog). But it seems like the number one super dog around, Krypto, might actually be in the film. As spotted by Collider, Superman comic writer Mark Waid recently made an appearance on the Capes and Lunatics Podcast, where he spoke about all manner of comics related things. In it, Waid seemed to have accidentally shared that Krypto …

Read moreVariousThere are so many ways to be a Dungeons & Dragons fan these days. The tabletop RPG mainstay has been synonymous with pen-and-paper adventuring for 50 years now, and 2024 marks a major reworking of its core rulebooks to make the game more approachable. Anyone who’s played even just a couple of sessions knows how easy it can be to covet a friend’s set of custom dice, appreciate the care a Dungeon Master has taken in setting the right ambience for a crafted campaign, or even obsess over their choice of pen and notebook — after all, it’s what you’ll be spending a large chunk of time staring into as you ponder your character’s next heroic action.But what’s amazing is that you can be a huge D&D fan without ever touching a character sheet.
