Press X To Scream In Space: Every ‘Alien’ Video Game Ranked By Alex Riviello/May 16, 2017 8:30 am EST Ridley Scott’s Alien has had a marked influence on the video game industry, but it’s mostly just that – influence. I’s James Cameron’s Aliens that feels like a video game itself (in a good way), and developers have “borrowed” from it liberally for their titles.

Who Survives Raccoon City and What’s Left of Them? Sony Pictures While “Raccoon City” feels like a love letter to the games, Roberts definitely took some liberties to keep fans on their toes. Arguably the biggest change comes in the form of Albert Wesker, the S.T.A.R.S team leader historically revealed as a double agent for Umbrella. In the film, he’s still a S.T.A.R.S. leader, but betrays his team in a move of financial desperation and for his own survival....

Hayao Miyazaki’s New Film Still Has Years Of Animation Left To Complete, Studio Ghibli Boss Toshio Suzuki Says By Hoai-Tran Bui/May 14, 2020 5:00 pm EST Hayao Miyazaki is a notoriously meticulous director.
