Emmy Rossum has announced she’s leaving Shameless after nine seasons.
Rossum, who has portrayed Fiona Gallagher on the show since Season 1, posted an emotional letter on Facebook announcing her departure. The actress thanked her cast and crew, and the series’ fans for continuing to support Shameless since its 2011 premiere.
“Malcolm Gladwell says it takes 10,000 hours to become truly good at something. To become world class,” Rossum wrote. “Well by my calculation, 100 episodes, 7 days per episode (plus Chicago weeks), 12 hour days, we’re just at about 10,000 hours. So I guess we’re finally good at this.”
Apple has announced the date and time for its upcoming event where new iPhones, the Apple Watch Series 4, and more are expected to be revealed.
Media invites went out this morning for the event taking place at the Steve Jobs Theater in Cupertino, CA, with the tagline “Gather round” and a date and time of September 12, 2018 at 10 am PT/1 pm ET.
This year, Apple is expected to announce three new iPhones – one that is larger than the iPhone X with a 6.5-inch OLED screen, an updated version of the iPhone X and its 5.8 inch OLED screen, and a less-expensive offering that will have a 6.1-inch LCD display.
Netflix just added another high-profile animated series to its lineup of original content with Disenchantment. Unfortunately, despite being developed by animated sitcom heavyweights like Matt Groening and Josh Weinstein, we felt like this new series failed to meet the standard of shows like The Simpsons and Futurama in its first season, as we said in our Season 1 review.
We know that Netflix has at least ten more episodes of Disenchantment in the pipeline. If the series is ever going to live up to its potential, we think there’s room for a few improvements. Read on for what we think needs changing to make Disenchantment truly enchanting.
The Producers Guild of America (PGA) is officially honoring Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige with the 2019 David O. Selznick Achievement Award.
Announced by the PGA, the award recognizes the producer’s body of work in the film industry. Feige will be given the award on Saturday, January 19, 2019 during the 30th Annual Producers Guild Awards.
“Kevin Feige set for himself one of the most ambitious tasks ever attempted in cinematic storytelling, and then over-delivered on it,” said Gail Berman and Lucy Fisher, presidents of the PGA. “What Kevin has accomplished with Marvel Studios is one of the great success stories of this generation.”
Past recipients of the David O. Selznick Award include Charles Roven, Clint Eastwood, Jerry Bruckheimer, Brian Grazer, Laura Ziskin, Kathleen Kennedy/Frank Marshall and Steven Spielberg.
Our IGN First month of coverage with Shadow of the Tomb Raider has just about ended, but we’ve got one more fun little feature for you! We got our hands on the game’s Collector’s Edition, which includes, among other things, a tall, hyper-detailed Lara Croft statue.
Unfortunately this edition is sold out, but it’s too cool for us to NOT show it to you when granted the opportunity. Enjoy!
ABOVE: Check out the first 15 minutes of gameplay from Shadow of the Tomb Raider.
Shadow of the Tomb Raider is our IGN First game for August, which means we’ve editorially chosen to take a look at it all month long. Catch up on any of our coverage from the month that you might’ve missed right here.
Yacht Club Games has plenty of more Shovel Knight content to come, and the developer is now finally ready to share when the King of Cards, Showdown, and more are coming.
Yes, both to-be released expansions are debuting on the same day, because Yacht Club has also announced a physical version of Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove — the complete collection of Shovel Knight and all of its expansions, will see a physical, retail release on April 9, 2019 in both North America and Europe for the PS4 and Nintendo Switch.
With Dragon Ball Super: Broly’s release on the horizon, we started wondering: Who is the best Dragon Ball villain of all time?
We have our own thoughts, but we wanted yours, so along with our friends at Funimation, we put the question to the fans. The results… weren’t what we expected.
Here are your favorite Dragon Ball villains, with the votes tabulated based on the number of times a character was submitted and how many times those submissions were liked:
Sony has announced the games PlayStation Plus members will be able to download for free in September. As usual, subscribers get two games each for PS4, PS3, and PS Vita between September 4 and October 1. Two things about this month’s offerings are unusual. First, all six games are Cross Buy with PS4, so you don’t need to dust off old hardware to play them. And secondly, one of the games is available early–right now, in fact. Here’s what PS4, PS3, and PS Vita games PS Plus members can expect to get for free in September 2018.
The biggest game on the list–and the one you can download right now–is Destiny 2. This shared-world online shooter launched last year to wide acclaim before much of the players base ran out of things to do. All this year, Bungie has been adding content through expansions and surprise updates in order to create more endgame content. The effort has seemed to pay off. With the major Forsaken expansion launching on September 4 (sold separately), the player base seems to be coming back around in a big way.
Better yet, everyone with a copy of Destiny 2 can participate a 24-hour free trial of the upcoming PvP-meets-PvE Gambit mode, starting September 1 at 10 AM PT (1 PM ET). If you want to see your options for accessing Forsaken, take a look at our Destiny 2: Forsaken pre-order guide.
And while these aren’t specific to September’s lineup, PS Plus members can still download the smart phone-controlled trivia game Knowledge is Power through November 6 and the PSVR horror game Here They Lie for free through October 2.
It’s also not too late to download August’s PS Plus freebies. These include Mafia III and Dead by Daylight on PS4, Bound by Flame and Serious Sam BFE on PS3, and Draw Slasher and Space Hulk on PS Vita.

It feels like the Warriors series is constantly looking for a way to act smarter than its fans actually want it to be. The release of any given Dynasty, Samurai, or spin-off Warriors game will come with the promise of some new idea or other. We’ve had flexible combo systems, skill-based special gauges, weapon classes, squad controls. The last ‘innovation’ was the most sweeping of all, as Dynasty Warriors 9 swapped the series’ compact, enemy-packed battlefields for an astonishingly empty open world that, somehow, still wouldn’t run properly. The less said about that the better.
The thing is, I’d imagine the majority of Warriors fans are in the same boat as me. Perversely, this is a series beautiful entirely because of its mindlessness. Sweeping bright red enemy armies from the mini-map feels closer to the pleasure of a Tetris or an emptied pool table than the stresses of the hardcore action games Omega Force has seemed keen to copy in the past.
