Zombie Army 4: Dead War Is More Than A Sniper Elite Spin-Off
I have always enjoyed the Zombie Army series in spite of it feeling like a bit of a perfunctory afterthought to Sniper Elite. Zombie Army 4: Dead War adds a host of arcadey abilities and perks that help to distinguish it in this respect, but still retains the series’ trademark slow-mo kills, straightforward gunplay, and lovable B-movie narrative. My time with an early build at a behind-closed-doors E3 appointment left me chuckling and optimistic.
I kicked off the demo by taking control of series’ front man Karl Fairburne in a WW2-era Milan train station. Before I knew it, a runaway passenger car teeming with undead Nazis barreled into the station and I found myself retreading familiar ground by slow-mo sniping zombies in the head, and other less ethical places.
Former Epic Production Director Would Have Cancelled Fortnite
In an interview with Game Informer, former Epic Games production director Rod Fergusson says that if he had stayed at Epic, he “would have cancelled Fortnite.”
Fortnite: Save the World, a sort of horde mode defense game that featured the same building mechanics, was the original incarnation of the now massively popular franchse. It wasn’t until developers implemented a battle royale mode a couple months later in August 2017 that Fortnite began to explode in popularity, earning the most annual revenue of any game in history last year.

Elden Ring’s Storytelling Is Closer to Dark Souls Than Sekiro
FromSoftware’s newest IP Elden Ring is in the works as a collaboration between Dark Souls director Hidetaka Miyazaki and A Song of Ice & Fire author George R.R. Martin.
Miyazaki tells IGN that the narrative in Elden Ring will be similar to that of Dark Souls, which is known for its vague story and emphasis on environmental storytelling. Most of Miyazaki’s other works, including Demon’s Souls and Bloodborne share the same traits.
With a fixed main character and a more concrete narrative, 2019’s Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice was one of Miyazaki’s first games to derive from that formula. The 2018 PS VR adventure Déraciné was an even bigger departure from the storytelling that FromSoftware fans have come to expect from him.
Jessica Jones Season 3 Features This Hilarious Comics Easter Egg
Warning! Full SPOILERS follow for Marvel's Jessica Jones Season 3.
In Season 2 of Marvel's Jessica Jones, Trish Walker (Rachael Taylor) went through the biggest transformation of any character after her near-fatal surgery with Dr. Malus. Trish acquired cat-like reflexes, which we saw a glimpse of in the Season 2 finale, "AKA Playland."
Now, in Season 3, Trish is taking the crime-fighting business pretty seriously as she edges closer to adopting the mantle of her comic-book namesake, Hellcat. In episode 2, titled "AKA You're Welcome," Trish is recognized by an onlooker for her radio host persona. And unlike Jessica, who doesn't care if people see her face, Trish needs to find a costume in order to hide her identity. Below, you can scroll through the gallery to see all the costumes Trish tries out - one of them is a classic!
