Taking a page from Lara Croft GO I haven’t playedUncharted 4: A Thief’s Endyet, but Steven’sreviewconvinced me to pick it up day one. Somehow I had prevented my stone heart from becoming excited at the prospect of crouching behind cover and making quips while shooting faces, even though I loved the first two games. It’s going to be a long wait ’til Tuesday. Sony cleverly planned an early review embargo to increase anticipation, and even released a new mobile game today to help people get their Nathan Drake fix....

My Hero Academiais, like many shonen anime and manga series, heavily influenced by the behemoth that isDragon Ball. Series creator Kohei Horikoshi acknowledged this influence in a piece from a year back, although everyone seems to have missed the reference.

Modern Family’s best plot twist occurred in the show’s very first episode, and it was never truly topped. Released atthe height of the mockumentary sitcom era,Modern Familyintroduced us to three “modern” families, each with vastly different relationships, character dynamics, and first-world problems to solve. Phil and Claire were raising three stubborn children, Jay was still figuring out how to be a step-dad six months into his second marriage, and Cam and Mitch adopted a baby from Vietnam....

Mortal Kombat 11fans love to mess with the character creator to make all manner of interesting skins. One particularly avid fan managed to create a human Noob Saibot (aka Bi-Han) skin in the game, and it is incredible. In the history of theMKgames, Sub-Zero was killed by Scorpion for revenge. Sub-Zero is then raised from the dead, turning into the wraith called Noob Saibot (his name comes from the last names of the two main devs spelled backwards: Ed Boon and John Tobias)....
