How many Assassin’s Creed games are there now, I’ve lost track? Why pick on Assassin’s Creed when there’s so many other FPS franchises like Halo, Call of Duty and Battlefield that get pumped out on a near annual basis? Because I used to LOVE Assassin’s Creed.

I don’t really get the excitement when it’s announced that an upcoming Venom movie from Sony may be titled Venom Carnage, what is…

So yesterday’s pretty obvious news tease was indeed correct, and we have an All New Captain America: Sam Wilson AKA The Falcon.

NOTE: MILD SPOILERS FOR RICK REMENDER’S RUN ON CAPTAIN AMERICA Yesterday the world was introduced to the new Thor, whose gender will have to get a rewrite on the Mjolnir incantation “if HE be worthy.” Not twenty-four hours from that announcement, it looks like we’ll be hearing soon about who will take up the mantle…
