Zombie Army 4: Dead War Is More Than A Sniper Elite Spin-Off
I have always enjoyed the Zombie Army series in spite of it feeling like a bit of a perfunctory afterthought to Sniper Elite. Zombie Army 4: Dead War adds a host of arcadey abilities and perks that help to distinguish it in this respect, but still retains the series’ trademark slow-mo kills, straightforward gunplay, and lovable B-movie narrative. My time with an early build at a behind-closed-doors E3 appointment left me chuckling and optimistic.
I kicked off the demo by taking control of series’ front man Karl Fairburne in a WW2-era Milan train station. Before I knew it, a runaway passenger car teeming with undead Nazis barreled into the station and I found myself retreading familiar ground by slow-mo sniping zombies in the head, and other less ethical places. At the most basic level, Zombie Army 4: Dead War plays very similarly to the preceding installments. Zombie grunts are still slow-moving fodder, holding shift slows down time and prompts a forgiving real-time reticle, and you have access to an array of WW2 armaments beyond the iconic sniper rifles.

Universal Orlando’s New Harry Potter Roller Coaster: Everything You Need To Know About Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorb
Do theme park rides need spoiler warnings?
Universal Studios Orlando has added yet another iconic Harry Potter location to their Wizarding World area in the Islands of Adventure theme park: The Forbidden Forest, home to all sorts of whimsical creatures big and small, has become a part of the land, and it’s brought with it a brand-new attraction. The extensively named Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure is a “story coaster” thrill ride which takes visitors on a high-speed tour of the Forbidden Forest’s many magical residents during a Care of Magical Creatures lesson gone totally awry.
Situated outside of Hogsmeade with a spectacular view of Hogwarts proper, the ride is the first of its kind for the Wizarding World parks–a narrative-driven roller coaster with absolutely no motion simulation or video elements on the ride itself. Of course, that doesn’t mean there isn’t a recorded pre-show featuring some familiar Harry Potter universe faces–but if you’re worried about the potential motion sickness that comes from staring at a stationary screen on a moving ride (a la Wizarding World’s other two key attractions: Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey and Escape From Gringotts) you’re in luck.
Of course, simulation elements or otherwise, that doesn’t mean this ride is for the faint of heart. We took a trip to Universal Studios Orlando to experience the ride. Here’s everything you need to know to make sure your trip to the Forbidden Forest is a successful one.
Stranger Things 3: 15 Behind-The-Scenes Photos From The New Season
While you won’t be able to see the new season of Stranger Things until July 4, production on the episodes is already long over. Filming first kicked off in May 2018 and ran until November 12, lasting almost six months. And yet, somehow, most of the plot of Season 3 remains a mystery.
However, we’re getting even more hints about what to expect. Netflix released a series of episodic photos with no context, leaving us to speculate wildly about what they could possibly mean. The streamer also debuted a series of photographs taken behind the scenes, showing the cast and crew had at work–and play–as they filmed the new season.
At first glance, the behind-the-scenes images don’t give away much about the new episodes, outside of some costume and location choices. However, it’s easy to tell how much fun everyone seems to be having when creating the new season.
As for what they created, you’re going to have to wait to find out. Stranger Things 3 arrives July 4 on Netflix. Until then, sit back and check out these photos while drinking a New Coke to prepare yourself to travel back to 1985.
11 Jessica Jones Season 3 Easter Eggs And References You Might Have Missed
Jessica Jones Season 3 spoilers ahead!
Jessica Jones Season 3 is the final series produced as part of Netflix and Marvel’s partnership that saw characters like the Alias Investigations detective, the blind lawyer Daredevil, the murderous ex-soldier Punisher, the bulletproof Luke Cage, and the annoying brat Iron Fist together on the small screen. This is it, folks!
The good news is that Jessica Jones Season 3 is a great send-off for a universe of shows that, admittedly, went through plenty of ups and downs. Jessica Jones’ final season is a high note to end on.
It’s also full of Easter eggs and references. These are the ones we’ve caught so far–we’ve only seen eight of Jessica Jones Season 3’s 13 episodes, so we’ll keep updating this list as we go.
Elden Ring’s Storytelling Is Closer to Dark Souls Than Sekiro
FromSoftware’s newest IP Elden Ring is in the works as a collaboration between Dark Souls director Hidetaka Miyazaki and A Song of Ice & Fire author George R.R. Martin.
Miyazaki tells IGN that the narrative in Elden Ring will be similar to that of Dark Souls, which is known for its vague story and emphasis on environmental storytelling. Most of Miyazaki’s other works, including Demon’s Souls and Bloodborne share the same traits.
With a fixed main character and a more concrete narrative, 2019’s Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice was one of Miyazaki’s first games to derive from that formula. The 2018 PS VR adventure Déraciné was an even bigger departure from the storytelling that FromSoftware fans have come to expect from him.
The Sinking City: Sherlock Holmes Meets Cthulhu
The Sinking City has one of the most intriguing settings of any game I’ve played in some time. You take the role of a private investigator in the 1920s who’s come to the coastal city of Oakmont, Massachusetts, where something dark and strange is afoot. Water levels are rising, flooding many of the city’s streets, leaving citizens (and you) to navigate them by boat. Worse, Lovecraftian horrors are emerging from the depths and killing people on land. It’s up to you to discover what’s going on and try to stop it. Along the way, you’ll have plenty of other murders and mysteries to solve.
In my hands-on demo at E3 2019, the investigator had an appointment to meet a man at a theater. When I arrived, I found a police barricade blocking the entrance. “I’ll have to find another way in,” my character said to himself, because that’s how video game characters give hints to players. This would turn out to be one of the more obvious nudges I encountered. For the most part, The Sinking City trusts you to figure things out for yourself.
