Not all Zelda bosses are created equally, though. Many are easily forgotten. Others, like Ocarina of Time’s Water Temple guardian Morpha…well, we just wish we could forget them. Of course, we’re here to celebrate the bosses that often defined the games they were in and helped establish The Legend of Zelda as one of the greatest series in gaming history. You might also notice that some of the better Zelda games, namely Breath of the Wild and Link’s Awakening, aren’t represented on this list, while some of the more maligned games in the series do show up....

Actually, some of the earliest true horror games were sci-fi horror games. Right from the start, developers knew that are few things scarier than being thrown into an unknown time and unknown place while relying on unknown tools to battle unknown horrors. Of course, the best sci-fi horror games often find ways to exemplify the best of both genres. Before we dive into all of that, though, take a look at some of the rules and criteria used to assemble this list:...

The first season of the show helped parents and children alike to ponder some of the biggest issues facing classrooms across the country today. Gifted programs, lack of communication between teachers and parents, and administrative intervention in the daily lives of staff and students were all topics touched upon in the first 13 episodes. With the second season ready to start on Wednesday, Sept. 21 at 9 p.m., we thought it’d be a great time to suggest some other educational issues that Abbott Elementary can deftly handle with grace and humor that we’ve already come to expect from the Emmy-winning hit....

That’s not the way it started life. The original script by newbies Jeff Millar and Alex Stern was a black comedy with some horror elements. It was then rewritten by Alien’s Ronald Shusett and Dan O’Bannon (later a big selling point when it came to marketing the film), but remained a black comedy with some horror elements. By the time the final director’s cut was finished, that’s still what it was....

Originally set to star Cate Blanchett as the iconic Ball, Being the Ricardos went through a lengthy development process that resulted in Blanchett having to step away. Sorkin cast Nicole Kidman as Ball and Javier Bardem as Arnaz, with the usual small but loud bevy of armchair critics on social media slamming Sorkin’s choices for reasons ranging from Kidman not looking enough like Ball to Bardem being Spanish and not Cuban like Arnaz....

The good news is that, despite what some might say, The Dark Knight Rises is absolutely worth a watch, even if it doesn’t quite reach the heights of its predecessor. Just as The Dark Knight took its story from the pages of Batman: Year One and The Long Halloween, Rises is heavily influenced by three other pivotal comics: Frank Miller’s character-defining The Dark Knight Returns as well as two massive storylines from the ’90s, “Knightfall” and “No Man’s Land....

American Horror Story Season 11 Episodes 1 and 2 Season 11 of American Horror Story is going to be the most polarizing collection of episodes to spring forth from the Ryan Murphy/Brad Falchuk creative collective. Given the sheer scope of the show, that’s saying something. However, the first two episodes of AHS NYC, “Something’s Coming” and “Thank You For Your Service” almost feel like Ryan Murphy attempting to marry the more prestige TV elements of something like Murphy’s Netflix smash-hit Dahmer and American Crime Story with the very specific subculture exploration of Pose and the general ambiance of a sleazier, grimier Cruising....

With that in mind, let’s take a look at some of the most significant roles de Armas played on her climb to the top of the movie world, as well as a peek at where we’ll be able to see her on the big screen in the future. Knock Knock (2015) De Armas’s English-language debut was in Eli Roth’s psychosexual mind-fuck of a movie, Knock Knock, in which de Armas and Lorenza Izzo play underage girls who tease and then torture a hapless family man (Keanu Reeves) in his own home....

Gorr the God Butcher has always been destined to kill a lot of gods in Thor: Love and Thunder. As we saw in the trailer for the upcoming movie, the corpse of the mighty Falligar the Behemoth is evidence of the alien’s immense hatred of deities, and his bid to rid the galaxy of anyone fashioning themselves into a god. When it comes to the inhabitants of the Marvel Cinematic Universe though, you’d be forgiven for the inevitable confusion surrounding one crucial question: Who can actually be defined as a god?...

While Back 4 Blood does a surprisingly good job of balancing those cleaners in a way that makes it easy to justify inviting any of them to the party, the fact of the matter is that there are just some cleaners that feel more powerful than others (at least at this early stage of the game). So while the best Back 4 Blood character may end up being the one you feel most comfortable with, here’s our current power ranking of each of the game’s playable heroes....

Well, so far as that goes, I’ve got some good and bad news for you. The good news is that Battlefield 2042 eliminates much of the pain and confusion that come from needing to “choose” a gun by making one of the game’s weapons so absurdly powerful that there’s really no reason to use anything else. The bad news is that there’s really only one gun in the game at the moment that is worth using, which is about as dull as you’d suspect it would be....

I can think of few better ways to pass the time than to curate a marathon of the best cyberpunk movies. While the definition of the cyberpunk genre (especially on film) has traditionally been somewhat debatable, these are movies that showcase a vision of the future where technology seems to have towered above the humans who designed it just as a new breed of revolutionists prepare to counter this growing culture....

To help narrow things down, we’ve compiled a list of the best horror movies streaming on Hulu right now, from obscure indie midnight movies to tried-and-true horror staples, to genre-bending modern classics. Drag Me to Hell (2009) Sam Raimi is completely in his bag with Drag Me to Hell, one of the most kickass, hilarious, melt-your-face-off horror movies of the modern era. While most argue that Evil Dead II is his magnum opus, Drag Me to Hell may be the best Raimi film to show someone who’s never seen his work before....

In that vein, it’s a perfect time to curl up with someone and “Netflix and chill” as the kids might say. It’s also just a good time to revisit some old favorites, which Netflix is bringing back to the streaming service in droves. Here are the best of those gems. A Clockwork Orange (1971) September 1 Hardly a movie for the faint of heart—this is the type of picture that the term “trigger warning” should’ve been invented for—Stanley Kubrick’s A Clockwork Orange remains a masterful if nightmarish descent into immorality and decadence....

Through five seasons and some change combined on Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, iconic villain Gustavo “Gus” Fring (Giancarlo Esposito) is notable for always keeping his cards close to the vest. The fast food chicken magnate and regional meth lord very rarely shows any kind of emotion or realization across his stoic face. And that just makes the moments in which he does all the more significant. One such moment comes midway through Better Call Saul season 6’s most recent episode, “Black and Blue”....

The writing was on the wall early on for Marvel’s Avengers when the Crystal Dynamics team had precious little time to fix issues arising from the beta version before the game was released. Since then, despite the team behind the game working incredibly hard to correct its course, it’s occasionally been compared to BioWare’s Anthem, a title largely mocked for its notoriously troubled launch last year. Over on Twitter, Tokyo-based games industry analyst David Gibson posted that Square Enix would not confirm how many units were sold, but that “volumes were 60% of plan,” adding that this “implies game cost over $100m to make but only sold 3m or so....

Nonetheless, it should be noted that this is only the early reception for the DC Extended Universe’s most hotly anticipated film of the year, and that Black Adam’s current Rotten Tomatoes score of 52 percent (as of press time) is based on just 54 submitted reviews. Even so, there tends to be quite a bit of praise for Johnson… and plenty of criticism about most other elements in the film....

“I have been gone for too long, and it’s time for a resurrection!” Igarashi said in the video introducing the Kickstarter. “Publishers of the world told me that gamers no longer care for this style of game, but I know they’re wrong!” By the end of the campaign, Bloodstained had raised over $5.5 million, proving that fans were still hungry for this type of experience. Two years later, Bloodstained is still in development but is inching closer to a 2018 release....

No, these aren’t Buffy Season 8 comic stories, but rather ideas for the much-discussed but never actually made Buffy: The Animated Series. In development hell since the days when Buffy the Vampire Slayer was still on the air, the show would have featured episodes written by faves like Jane Espenson, Steve DeKnight, Drew Greenberg and Doug Petrie, as well as creator Joss Whedon himself. After the idea was conceived by Whedon and Jeff Loeb in 2001, a four-minute presentation (which you can now watch here) was written and drawn in 2004 with voice work completed by principle cast including Alyson Hannigan, Nicholas Brendan, and Anthony Head (but not Sarah Michelle Gellar, who turned down the chance to return)....

The buggy state of the game, especially on last-gen consoles, dominated the discussion surrounding Cyberpunk 2077 at launch. So huge was the quality gap between the PC version that CD Projekt showcased in promotional footage and the versions released on the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One that several outlets ultimately judged them separately, with the PC version receiving stellar review scores while the last-gen versions received remarkably low scores for a AAA release....
