Jon Bernthal’s 121 Minute 10/10 Neo-Western Thriller Is Officially a Streaming Hit

Jon Bernthal is enjoying one of the biggest years of his career. Between high-profile roles in The Odyssey and Spider-Man: Brand New Day — two of the biggest movies of the summer — the actor has become one of Hollywood's most in-demand supporting stars. With those blockbuster films dominating headlines, fans of Bernthal's brooding presence and rugged charm have been rediscovering some of the performances that helped establish him as a cornerstone character actor, from The Punisher (and a deep backlog of appearances across the Daredevil TV franchise) and The Walking Dead to acclaimed films like Ford v Ferrari and King Richard .

Resident Evil Meets Papers Please in a Wild New Xbox Game Pass Offering

Gamers are typically afforded a certain level of privilege when it comes to the zombie apocalypse. We’re usually cast as the heroes of these stories, empowered to sneak past the terrifying shamblers or take them down with a well-aimed bullet. Quarantine Zone: The Last Check , developed by indie studio Brigada Games and published by Devolver Digital, offers no such pampering. Instead, you’re working at a checkpoint, inspecting jittery survivors for symptoms to determine whether they’re healthy enough to be evacuated. The game’s been out for several months on Steam , and it recently came to Xbox Game Pass . If you’re a fan of survival horror, this unique genre mash-up is absolutely worth checking out. source https://www.polygon.com/quarantine-zone-steam-xbox-game-pass/

Halo 4 Still Holds Up As The Best Halo Game Ever, 14 Years Later

There’s a new Halo game out in the wild. Well, okay, fine, there’s an old Halo game out — again. Halo: Campaign Evolved , a remake of 2001’s Halo: Combat Evolved , is a modern-day reminder that the original Halo game was…pretty dang good! Bungie’s Xbox launch title was a stunning display of moody tone, a massive step forward for level design, and the overall experience still holds up today . But as Halo fans wade into the nostalgia pool, I can’t help but think that Halo is far from the best Halo game. That honor goes to Halo 4 . source https://www.polygon.com/halo-4-best-halo-game/

X-Men Finally Solves a 33-Year-Old Mystery — and Changes the Meaning of an Iconic TV Episode

X-Men '97 breaks the rules of what a series revival can be thanks to a very unique set of circumstances. This is a direct continuation of the beloved 1990s X-Men: The Animated Series , but it's also working with the benefit of nearly three decades of X-Men comics that releases between the original cartoon and now. That means X-Men '97's writers can cherry pick the best plotlines and characters from 29 years of story development, while avoiding any pitfalls. It also means the series can circle back to major unresolved threads from The Animated Series with the gift of new information. (It's kind of like if there were 15 years of Scrubs comics that the Hulu revival could reference for ideas.) source https://www.polygon.com/x-men-97-x-ternal-external-gambit-explained/
