The next film to receiveDisney’s live-action treatment, whether it wants to or not, isThe Aristocats. As one ofDisney’s slightly less popular films, as well as the bane of spell checkers across the land, this film is an interesting choice to enjoy such an update....

I never promised tonotbe hyperbolic throughout this week, so you have nothing on me! But seriously, I’m not going too overboard when I say thisDead Space 2trailer is, uh, incredibly cool. Much of the video is comprised of footage also shown during EA’s conference, only it’s not quite as breathtaking when the stakes — playing a live demo in front of a crowd — aren’t as high. Even still, they show those creepy Necromorph kids again....

How Long to Beat Ape Escape Players that focus exclusively on progressing through the main story, and spend almost no time engaging with thisclassic platformer’s optional content, should expect to completeApe Escapein aroundeighthours. This length can be protracted by hunting down various collectibles, and there are some small incentives for doing so.

I never thought to invest that much time and energy into traditional competitive games when I had it....

Both games now resemble each other more closely in visual fidelity and design, and the PS5 is the best place to playThe Last of Usthanks to the performance upgrade forPart 2....

It looks like Netflix doesn’t even want to wait and see how its live-actionCowboy Bebopseries is received before moving on to bigger and spirit-sword-ier things. Now, that might bode well for the streamer’s confidence in their projects, but fans who aren’t quite into space bounty hunters and prefer dead people fighting in martial arts tournaments might want to take note of the future. Netflix still has a live-actionYu Yu Hakushoseriesin the works, and it’s… going to be a bit of a wait....
