Eric Abent | Oct 2, 2018

There have been a lot of Harry Potter games throughout the years, and overall quality has generally been hit or miss. Some Harry Potter games have been well-received by critics and fans alike, especially those in the LEGO Harry Potter series, whereas the video game adaptations of the novels have received more mixed reactions. After years of waiting, Harry Potter fans could soon be getting the big-budget offering they've been waiting for.

Minecraft movie delayed with directorial change

JC Torres | Aug 5, 2018

How can you make a movie out of a game like Minecraft? Better yet, how long will it take to make a movie out of a game like Minecraft? Apparently much longer than originally planned. The full-length film was slated for a May 2019 release but that date is no longer on the table for the very important reason that, with less than a year to go, the film is changing hands with director and co-writer Rob McElhenney dropping out of the production.

First Aquaman trailer revealed at SDCC

Adam Westlake | Jul 22, 2018

DC superhero Aquaman hasn't been seen since his appearance in last year's Justice League, but he's finally getting his own movie this fall. The film is also the first since Warner Bros. announced a revised approach for its franchise of DC hero film, with less focus on an interconnected universe as Marvel Studios. Director James Wan was at San Diego Comic-Con this weekend to reveal the first trailer, and it looks like Aquaman is doing all it can to avoid the dark and gloomy world of some of the recent DC films.

Hitman 2 launches later this year with a new co-op game mode

Eric Abent | Jun 7, 2018

It was something of a risk to release 2016's Hitman reboot as an episodic game, but between solid reviews and a rather positive reaction from fans, it seems to have paid off. Developer IO Interactive is going to try to recreate that success later this year, today announcing Hitman 2 for a November release. This time around, it'll be serving up the exploits of Agent 47 with the help of a new publisher: Warner Bros Interactive.

Instagram Music: not what you might think

Chris Burns | May 8, 2018

New code was discovered this week in the deep depths of Instagram - and it's interesting. The code mentions Music - but not music like we see rolling in Spotify and Tidal and such. Instead, this music in Instagram is closer to what we've seen with YouTube's Open Source Music feature brings. That means the Instagram Stories you're already making could be tricked out, and soon.
