I Have A Theory About What Joel Really Did To Eugene, Gail's Husband, In The Last Of Us Season 2

Warning: This article contains spoilers forThe Last of Usseason 2, episode 1. The Last of Usseason 2 implies that Joel killed Gail’s husband Eugene after he got infected, but I have a different theory. There’s a lot aboutThe Last of Us’ season 2 premiere that’s faithful to the game. Ellie and Dina’s trip to the supermarket is taken straight from the game, with a few little tweaks, and the New Year’s Eve dance is practically a shot-for-shot recreation of that cutscene (although it appears much later as a flashback in the game)....

I Really Love Yuji, But Jujutsu Kaisen Should Have Made Another Sorcerer Its Protagonist (and It's Definitely Not Gojo)

One of the most alluring aspects ofJujutsu Kaisenthat sets it apart from other anime of its kind is its top-notch character development. Heroes and villains alike receive thoughtful backstories and dynamic character arcs, taking the series to a deeper, more immersive level than a purely action-focused anime might. However, not everyJujutsu Kaisencharacter was created equal, and although Yuji Itadori, the series' protagonist, is certainly not a bad character, another hero from the franchise would have been better suited as the main character....

Is Max Payne 3 worth the 29 GB download on PC?

It’s hard to see your favorite series on a different platform. I’ll always playDemon’s SoulsandFinal Fantasygames on my PlayStation 3, because anything else just feels wrong. The same is true ofMax Payneon PC. Though we PC gamers had to wait a couple weeks longer, it didn’t matter that much after waiting nine years for a sequel. The concern for PC players isn’t the wait but the developer. Rockstar doesn’t have a stellar track record on PC, either botching games (Grand Theft Auto IV) or forgoing a port altogether (Red Dead Redemption)....

I’m so glad I never sold my copy of Mario Paint

Hold on to your favorites I may not replay videogamesvery often, but when I do get the urge, it feels impossible to ignore. If it’s an Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, or Wii game I feel compelled to revisit, that’s no big deal at all — there’s still enough room for those titles on my shelves. Those systems are already set up. But if I go back even one console generation further, I start running into issues....
