When Robert Pattinson’s first outing as the Dark Knight made its way into theaters, fans and critics were calling it the best Batman movie since, well, The Dark Knight. Where does that leave Matt Reeves’ eagerly anticipated The Batman 2, then? With production underway and an air of mystery still covering the movie like a smog on a cold Gotham evening, one of the newest talents joining Reeves’ world, Sebastian Stan, has made a bold comparison about how things are going, and it involves one of the greatest films ever made. During an interview with Variety, the matter of bats and men predictably came up, and Stan was careful in discussing it.
Wolverine review roundup: Frankly, we're starting to feel a little better about the whole 'PlayStation 5 exclusive' thing The new Wolverine game is fine, but it's definitely not the best there is at what it does. "Missing that crucial X-factor" GamesRadar: 3/5 GR's Leon Hurley says Wolverine's mid-game feels like the game Insomniac wanted to make: "It's lively, layered, and just a fun place to be." Alas, "the rest of the game feels thin, and largely consists of boxy corridors that top and tail Tokyo with shallow combat luges broken up by cutscene checkpoints and little else." "Good character work props up flashy combat that wears thin over time" IGN: 6/10 Keep up to date with the most important stories and the best deals, as picked by the PC Gamer team. "A gripping, emotional bloodbath" DualShockers: 8.5/10 Christian Bognar provided one of the more upbeat takes on Wolverine for DualShockers, writing that Insomniac's portrayal of the character is "a success," thanks to its "deeply personal story that explores what it means to live with trauma, loss, and regret." Christian also felt the combat in Wolverine was a step up from that of Insomniac's previous Spider-Man game, despite lacking Spidey's "freedom and versatility." "Relentless momentum" GameInformer: 8.5/10 GI's Matt Miller is clearly a fan, writing that "the high speed, brutal slashing, and unstoppable force of Wolverine are captured better than any film or game to come before." And where many other reviews found the game wore thin before its conclusion, calling it "an intense and unrelenting ride" that "doesn't wear out its welcome." "Marvel's Wolverine's claw-fueled combat doesn't feel as deep as its systems suggest, but that didn't stop me from grinning ear to ear carving through its lengthy campaign" TechRadar: 4/5 Writing for TechRadar, review Matt Cabral said Wolverine's fighting mechanics "suffer from a lack of meaningful depth," but praised the game's production values: "Supported by visceral, varied, and extremely violent melee combat, this set-piece-packed, cinema-rivaling spectacle puts you behind the claws – and mutton chops – of the fan-favorite superhero like never before." "Only aims as high as its stout hero" GameSpot: 6/10 Tamoor Hussain declared in his take for GameSpot that Wolverine is "a fun but forgettable experience that’ll entertain you for a few hours." But it also demonstrates the limitations of the character himself, especially when compared to the open world and energetic dynamism of the studio's previous Spider-Man games: "Wolverine might be the best at what he does, but what he does hasn’t let Insomniac’s developers be the best at what they do." "Uninspired gameplay leaves Logan feeling declawed despite a strong narrative: VGC: 3/5 Like many other reviewers, VGC's Jordan Middler enjoyed Wolverine's characters and story, but found everything the game's "tightly crafted and emotive story moments" to be lacking. Turns out, it often doesn’t." And a few unscored reviews, just for fun: The Verge says "Wolverine’s bloodthirsty focus on action is something that makes it stand out," Kotaku called it "refreshing in its straightforward focus" but also "stagnant," and Polygon pulled no punches, calling Wolverine "the biggest disappointment of the PS5 era." 2026 games: All the upcoming games Best PC games: Our all-time favorites Free PC games: Freebie fest Best FPS games: Finest gunplay Best RPGs: Grand adventures Best co-op games: Better together Andy has been gaming on PCs from the very beginning, starting as a youngster with text adventures and primitive action games on a cassette-based TRS80.

I've always thought there were a few characters out there who were the perfect match for video games. Batman is always my classic example: he beats up bad guys, does stealth takedowns, and has a built-in arsenal of gadgets that can be conveniently designed for any design obstacle; he has a cool car and cape for driving and/or gliding around an open world, and he has preternatural detective sensibilities to help him solve environmental puzzles - or, I dunno, press R3 to see where to go next.
A few hours into Wolverine I found myself asking, “Why did Insomniac Games make this?” There are obvious answers, of course: It has three excellent Spider-Man games under its belt; it's an opportunity to expand its Marvel Universe; and Wolverine presents ample opportunities for a brutal and bloody action game. But none of that explains why Insomniac Games , specifically, made Wolverine. Spider-Man is an ideal fit for the studio: an energetic and dynamic hero in the hands of a team known for open-worlds that are sprawling jungle gyms, where it can let players loose with thrilling traversal mechanics and varied combat systems for crime fighting fun. Insomniac also excels at crafting narratives that are as earnest as they are dramatic--perfect for the tumultuous lives of Peter Parker and Miles Morales.
A former Rockstar Games developer believes GTA 6 Online could eventually let players create and monetize their own stories through roleplay. GTA RP has transformed Rockstar’s open-world series, allowing communities to build custom characters, businesses and narratives on multiplayer servers. The scene remains hugely popular ahead of GTA 6, with NoPixel 5.0 attracting major streamers despite some familiar names not receiving invitations. According to former Rockstar cutscene product owner Joe Rubino, who worked on GTA 5, Red Dead Redemption, and Max Payne 3, the next step could be giving those players official ways to earn money from their creations.

Following on from the Legend of Zelda 40th anniversary Nintendo Direct, which gave us a look at the Ocarina of Time remake, Nintendo has now revealed even more games coming to the Switch 2 this winter. The Nintendo Direct aired on September 9, 2026, showing off everything from Metroid Ravenous to a new Switch Sports Resort and the first fully open-world Kirby title. There’s a lot of exciting annoucements to cover, so if you missed the Direct or just want a recap of all the biggest reveals, we have you covered: All games announced at Nintendo Direct September 2026 Monster Hunter Wilds Back in June, Capcom confirmed Monster Hunter Wilds was coming to Switch 2, months after the game had already settled onto PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Tomb Raider Legacy of Atlantis Crystal Dynamics and Flying Wild Hog first unveiled Legacy of Atlantis at The Game Awards this past December and pitched it as a ground-up reimagining of the original 1996 Tomb Raider, complete with Unreal Engine 5 visuals and Alix Wilton Regan taking over as Lara Croft.
The Winter Soldier himself, Sebastian Stan, recently pitched a "Sicario-esque" Bucky Barnes movie to Marvel Studios leadership. When speaking to New York Magazine, Stan revealed that he pitched Kevin Feige on a solo Bucky Barnes film in the vein of Denis Villeneuve's 2015 movie, Sicario. The film would have been smaller in scope, with a tighter budget, and focused on a more personal mission for Bucky. Stan noted that he was "half-joking" with his pitch, but Feige responded well to it and said it sounds cool.
Some possible spoilers about The Batman: Part II may be revealed in these set photos. New photos from the Glasgow set of The Batman: Part II reveal a closer look at the Dark Knight’s updated batsuit in the sequel. 🦇😧 pic.twitter.com/R2UV1ICl26 — A Geek's Viewpoint (@ViewpointGeek) September 4, 2026 Robert Pattinson’s stunt double Rick English can be seen in costume in the set photos. In his 9/10 Primetime review, IGN critic Siddhant Adlakha writes that "Robert Pattinson sets the screen ablaze as a heightened, petulant Chris Hansen in Lance Oppenheim’s Primetime, a sleazy throwback to the rise of reality TV.
The “hidden movement” genre of board games is one of my favorites and I still remember where I discovered this type of game. I was watching Wil Wheaton’s “Tabletop” series, when the game of the week was “Fury of Dracula”, a game where one person assumes the role of Dracula, spreading terror and attempting to grow his vampire forces around the globe, while the others are vampire hunters, try to track him down and drive a stake through his heart. Thankfully, at long last, the good folks at Avalon Hill have brought it back in a brand new 5th Edition, and fans around the world can once again hunt down dracula during their next board game night. For those familiar with either the Fantasy Flight Games’ 3rd or WizKids’ 4th editions, the 5th edition is largely the same but for everyone else, Fury of Dracula is a one-versus-many with one person playing as the count and up to four other players controlling the hunters.

The original Metroid and Castlevania both turn 40 years old this fall. As the two series most responsible for creating the “metroidvania,” we’re taking this occasion to take a comprehensive view of the popular genre. When many people pick up a controller to play a game, they're looking for one thing above all others: escapism. These days, open-world games like Cyberpunk 2077, Red Dead Redemption 2, and the most recent Legend of Zelda games do a lot of the work here, giving us maps full of icons to wade through.
