Roguelite city-builder Against The Storm found wide popularity during its year in early access, but developers Eremite Games are now ready for a full 1.0 release on December 8th. The game will also be hitting PC Game Pass, for those of you looking for a ‘no extra cost’ gateway.

 An Israeli spyware company that was sued by WhatsApp Inc. four years ago over an alleged malware-hacking scheme failed to persuade a US judge to move the dispute to its home country.

There’s a correct method to jamming two corncob holders into a teenager’s ears for maximum terror. Eli Roth has known the way since he was a kid in Massachusetts, shooting horror movies in his backyard and coming up with kills that would eventually find their way into his new slasher, Thanksgiving, 40 years later. The gag is simple: Start with the corn picks tucked in the screen victim’s ear, yank them out at full-speed, and make sure the actor is screaming at the beginning and surprised at the end. When it’s all played in reverse, the practical effect looks absolutely gruesome — or, for a horror movie, perfect.

The list of truly great horror-comedy movies is surprisingly short. Making something funny that’s also convincingly tense and satisfyingly gory takes a delicate touch, which is probably why Wes Craven’s Scream movies are the finest examples we have of hilarious slashers. While the most recent Scream movies have certainly dabbled in bits and pieces of Craven inspiration, they’ve never quite been able to capture the combination of fright and fun that makes the original four movies great. Thankfully, Eli Roth’s goofy, genuinely creepy new slasher Thanksgiving (which originally started as a joke trailer within the Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino double featureGrindhouse)is here to give Scream and its immediate sequels the follow-up they truly deserve.

No matter how gory Eli Roth's films may be, the Thanksgiving director doesn't believe in the animal violence trope that remains prevalent in the horror genre.

Director Eli Roth says there's a much darker, more serious message behind his fun slasher Thanksgiving.

At least once a year, a new Call of Duty skins rolls into town looking to cause trouble. Arriving at the tail end of Modern Warfare 2's run and bleeding into last week's release of Modern Warfare 3 is Gaia, a premium skin on the Season 6 battle pass that transforms your operator into a humanoid plant monster. You get Groot-ified, essentially, and players are arguing it's an unfair advantage.

Though it took a few years (or 10), Director Eli Roth says he's been wanting to make a Thanksgiving-themed slasher film since he was a kid.

Battling cheats in Call of Duty must be a thankless task, akin to an infinite game of Whac-A-Mole. But Team Ricochet — Activision’s in-house anti-cheat team for CoD games — seems determined to have some fun with it. The developers, who were last in the headlines for making cheaters hallucinate imaginary players, have unveiled their latest anti-cheat measure for Warzonebattle royale, released in tandem with Modern Warfare 3: They call it Splat.

With the remake of Mario’s debut RPG just a little over a week away fans are getting ever more excited with every passing ounce of information Nintendo is willing to share. This time the news doesn’t come in just a short teaser trailer, but we’ve finally gotten a great look at the official overview trailer in English to tide us over while we wait. We get a great taste at things we’ve seen before such as the playable cast of characters all the way from Mallow to Peach and a great look at more of the available skills at their disposal as well. The trailer also specifies how the new style of timed hits work as there are two key styles to knock it out of the park. The first is a timed hit that does additional damage to an enemy, while a perfectly timed hit will manage to do splash damage to every enemy in battle. This is a great incentive to get players trying to master their skills at timing attacks and blocks for both avoiding and dishing out damage best they can! The trailer also highlights the new Breezy mode which makes fights and leveling up easier in addition to a brand new monster list that will detail all their strengths and weaknesses for maximum planning skills for Mario and friends!
