Set for release on June 25, Judgment is the latest title from Sega’s acclaimed Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio (generally known in the West as Yakuza Studio). While it does share some similarities with the Yakuza games, such as their satisfying combat system, play spots and strong narrative, Judgment is actually quite different: It’s a legal thriller, casting the player as private detective Takayuki Yagami as he investigates a series of murders on the seedy streets of Kamurocho.

IGN Japan awarded the game a score of 8.8 when it was released in Japan in December, praising its “superior legal suspense” and “top-notch action entertainment”.

Netflix’s Unicorn Store Review: Brie Larson’s Directing Debut

If you couldn’t get enough of Brie Larson and Samuel L. Jackson’s buddy-cop comedy vibes in Captain Marvel, you’re likely as pumped as I was for their reteam in Unicorn Store. Hot off the success of her MCU hit, Larson is rolling out her directorial debut exclusively on Netflix. This quirky coming-of-age comedy wears its glittery heart on its sleeve and boasts a stellar supporting cast that includes Deadpool’s Karan Soni, Party Down’s Ryan Hansen, Superbad’s Martha MacIsaac, Get Out’s Bradley Whitford, and comedic genius Joan Cusack. Plus, it gives us the sensational spectacle of Samuel L. Jackson in a bright pink business suit and an afro streaked with tinsel. Yet somehow this promising comedy is an astounding misfire.

Doom Patrol Finds Joy in Superhero Misery

Warning: Full spoilers for Doom Patrol Season 1, Episode 8 below. If you need a refresher on where we left off, check out our review for Season 1, Episode 7.

Titans and Doom Patrol offer what is easily the darkest vision of the DC Universe we’ve ever seen on the small screen. But both shows (and Doom Patrol in particular) have gotten away with the grim and gritty approach by ensuring there’s plenty of humor and self-awareness to balance out the misery. This week’s Doom Patrol episode stands out because it goes one step further. The series isn’t just self-aware and goofy this week, it shows that it’s possible to find great joy in the unhappy lives of these metahuman misanthropes.

Poll – Who Will Die in Avengers: Endgame?

With Avengers: Endgame almost upon us (three weeks!), we’re biting our nails wondering just which heroes are going to make it out alive. After all, the filmmakers have teased that this movie will be a literal ending for some characters, and given that the heroes are going up against Thanos equipped with a wicked new edged weapon, we have no problem believing that not everyone is going to make it out alive.

We want to know which hero you think is most likely to die in Avengers: Endgame. Yes, multiple heroes may fall, but to keep things focused we want to hear which single hero you think won’t survive. Your choice should be the one currently-living hero you’re confident will be permanently dead by the time the credits roll (and who will stay dead even after the mid-credits and post-credits scenes).

Yu-Gi-Oh! Tournaments to Penalize Players for Being Smelly

Konami is cracking down on poor hygiene at its official Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG tournaments, with the implementation of a new rule that penalizes players if they or their clothes are “dirty or bad-smelling.”

The new rule, posted to the official Yu-Gi-Oh! blog as part of a wider tournament policy update, can be found under a subsection labeled “Hygiene.” It reads: “This is a new section, requiring all persons attending a tournament to be clean and wear clean clothing. If you or your clothing is excessively dirty or bad-smelling, you can be penalized.”

The new rule appears to be a welcome policy update, judging by players’ reactions online. A post linking to the new policy on the Yu-Gi-Oh! subreddit is overwhelmingly, if not entirely, filled with messages of support. “Best timeline,” reads the post’s top comment.

The Suicide Squad Drops Deadshot, But Idris Elba Is Still Involved – Report

Suicide Squad escaped the DC jailhouse in August 2016 but found itself locked in less-than-favorable reviews. Despite the negative critical reception, David Ayer’s movie grossed a worldwide box office total of $746.8 million. With that kind of gross, a new Suicide Squad movie was bound to happen. However, it’s not a sequel. It’s a total reboot, and it’s officially called The Suicide Squad–and newcomer Idris Elba’s role is changing.

According to Comic Book, producer Peter Safran (Aquaman, Shazam) said, “It’s not Suicide Squad 2. It is not a sequel. I will leave that alone but, yes, it’s called The Suicide Squad.” That reiterates what was announced previously.

The return of Gunn has coincided with at least one big casting change. Will Smith, who played Deadshot, has dropped out of The Suicide Squad reportedly due to scheduling issues. In his stead, Idris Elba (Star Trek Beyond, The Dark Tower) will pick up the guns. [Update: Variety now reports that the Deadshot character will instead be dropped, with Elba set to play someone else instead. Just who that will be remains to be seen, though Variety notes this leaves open the door that Smith could return as Deadshot in the future.]

James Gunn (best known for helming the first two Guardians of the Galaxy movies), who was fired and rehired to write and direct Guardians 3, will also write and direct The Suicide Squad.

Additionally, as Comic Book reports, Jai Courtney (Alita: Battle Angel, Terminator Genisys), who played Captain Boomerang, and Viola Davis (Fences, Widows), who played Amanda Waller, are expected to reprise their roles. There are currently no other casting announcements. Margie Robbie (I, Tonya, Terminal), who played Harley Quinn, is currently working on the femme fatale’s solo film, Birds of Prey.

The Suicide Squad is scheduled to release on August 6, 2021. This week brought with a trailer for the new Joker movie starring Joaquin Phoenix, as well as the debut of Shazam.

Pokemon Go’s Second Legendary Lunch Hour Set For Next Week

Last month, Niantic hosted Pokemon Go‘s first Legendary Lunch Hour, a new, experimental event intended to give players more opportunities to challenge Raid Battles alongside their colleagues and classmates. The developer has now announced a second Legendary Lunch Hour, which is set for next Wednesday, April 10.

Just as before, the second Legendary Lunch Hour will take place from 12-1 PM local time. During that window, there will be more five-star Raids featuring Giratina in its Origin Forme, which started appearing for the first time in Pokemon Go earlier this week. Unlike Giratina’s Altered Forme, its Origin Forme is serpent-like in appearance and has more attack-oriented stats.

Niantic has said it ultimately plans to turn the Legendary Lunch Hour into a regular weekly event, but for the moment, it appears the developer is still experimenting with and refining the event based on player input. “We are continuing to test this event to make it even better,” Niantic wrote on the Pokemon Go website. “We understand that not every Trainer can participate in every event, but these tests are the first step in creating more events focused on different play styles.”

In the meantime, players still have a few more days to participate in the Bug Out, a Bug Pokemon-focused event running until April 9. Until then, Bug-types like Wurmple, Yanma, and others will appear in the wild more frequently, and you’ll have an opportunity to catch Shiny Scyther. There are also special Field Research tasks focusing on Bug Pokemon to complete, and Incenses will last twice as long as normal and attract even more Pokemon.

Pokemon Go’s next Community Day is set for April 13, with this month’s featured Pokemon being Bagon. Niantic also recently announced it is bringing Pokemon Go Fest back for another year as part of its Summer Tour series of events. This time, the developer will also host Go Fests in Germany and Asia in addition to Chicago.

The number of required reservations has now been adjusted to 3000 and, as of the time this article goes live, around 15% of those reservations have been claimed.
