Is the hierarchy of power in the DC Universe about to change? Dwayne Johnson seems to think so. His long-awaited superhero film, Black Adam, is nearly here, and then we’ll be able to judge for ourselves.
Black Adam, for the DC Universe, is kind of like Marvel’s Deadpool–a well-known actor fought for over a decade to get the movie made. We’re going to guess that Black Adam talks to the camera less, but it’s still noteworthy that Johnson fought so hard and for so long to make what even DC fans would consider a C-tier character in terms of popularity, and even lesser known than pre-Jason Momoa Aquaman. Now, he’s about to be one of the best-known, almost overnight, just by Johnson’s attachment to the film.
The film serves as Black Adam’s origin story, and introduces the Justice Society of America as well. Dwayne Johnson stars as the anti-hero, and is accompanied by Pierce Brosnan, Viola Davis (reprising her role as Amanda waller), Sarah Shahi, Noah Centineo, Aldis Hodge, and Quintessa Swindell.
A Plague Tale: Requiem continues the cinematic, medieval, and stealth franchise on Xbox, PC, Playstation, and Nintendo Switch. Critics are praising the bleak narrative and the well done, if predictable, additions to its stealth action. However, several critics also mentioned technical issues, including frame rate dips and graphical glitches.
In GameSpot’s A Plague Tale: Requiem review, Richard Wakeling gave the game a 7/10 saying, “A Plague Tale: Requiem excels in the same areas its predecessor did. Its stealth-action gameplay is uneven but has at least improved, introducing more tools for you to play around with and expanding in scope.” He adds that the unique setting and heart-rending story adds a lot of value to sometimes rote stealth.
You can purchase A Plague Tale: Requiem directly, as well as gain access to it through Xbox Game Pass.
Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope is the sequel to the surprise crossover tactics game Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle. Sparks of Hope brings more Rabbid versions of Mario characters, a galactic setting, and more tactical possibilities to the fray. Its predecessor was a critical hit, what are critics saying about the sequel?
Reviews are largely positive, citing the game’s innovative movement mechanics and thoughtful expansion of the original’s strengths. The GameSpot review of Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope is forthcoming, but in the meantime, you can check out our hands-on video preview.
