Agent 47 Is Coming to Hulu Thanks to 'John Wick' Creator
If you think about it, there really is no better man than Derek Kolstad to write the pilot script for the newly announced partnership between Fox 21 (Subsidiary of 20th Century Fox) and Hulu to develop a series around the best-selling franchise from IO Interactive, Hitman. Kolstad is the creator and writer of John Wick, John Wick 2 and the upcoming third film set to release in 2019. With his expertise in creating a character like John Wick, it should be child's play to craft a new narrative around the mythos of Agent 47.

Which Game Franchises Are Destined for Mixed Reality?
We’ve seen about two years’ worth of virtual reality gaming now, and already a couple months’ worth of augmented reality on mobile devices. Together, VR and AR make up the mixed reality medium — the hottest new thing in gaming, and something that, to many of us, represents the future.

Aliens, Assholes and Elbows: Reliving The Madness That Was 'Aliens: Colonial Marines'!
As Aliens turns 30, we look back fondly on arguably one of James Cameron's (and the Alien franchise's) best outings. So, surely a game based on the 1986 blockbuster couldn't fail to do well...right? In 2006 when SEGA announced that it had acquired the rights to the Alien franchise, our chest could've burst with Xenomorph happiness.

Sadly Aliens: Colonial Marines looked more like the Alien Atari 2600 game from 1982 than the slick cinematic game we had hoped for. This is what went wrong down on LV-426!
