Also, theI, Robotdirector’s got his first film since 2009 Nic Cage flickKnowingand it looksterrible.

Over the past few years, it’s been difficult to get in the mood for the month living way out in the sticks as I do, not to mention COVID throwing a wrench into everybody’s plans....

Far Cry 3 meets World War II Enemy Frontis the upcoming World War II shooter that feels a whole lot likeFar Cry 3. That’s a good thing! For one, it’s nice to go back to a World War II shooter.
