James Wan In Talks For Creature From The Black Lagoon Reboot
This year marks the 70th anniversary of Creature from the Black Lagoon, a film that introduced one of the few Universal Monsters who hasn’t been endlessly remade. But the Gill-man may finally be getting a chance for a comeback, with reports that horror veteran James Wan is in negotiations to direct and produce a new Creature from the Black Lagoon remake.
Via Deadline, Wan’s take on Creature from the Black Lagoon will be “a grounded modernized retelling that leans into visceral horror while paying respect to the original classic.” In the 1954 original, Ben Chapman and Ricou Browning played the Gill-man, a creature of unknown origin who ran afoul of an expedition in the Amazon. The creature also displayed a very obvious infatuation with a young woman named Kay Lawrence (Julia Adams), who did not return his affections.
Two sequels to the original film were made, but there hasn’t been a new Creature from the Black Lagoon movie in nearly six decades. Numerous directors have a…
Call Of Duty Warzone Could Use More Than Just A New Map
Call of Duty’s long-teased Warzone event may finally come to fruition on April 21, with a nuke threat that might bring an end to the map of Verdansk as we know it. A fresh battleground would definitely spice things up, but I think Warzone needs more than just a different map.
Originally, the rumor mill was brewing with talks of Warzone getting a completely new, Cold War-themed map based in the Ural Mountains. Now, leaks and teases have surfaced to show Warzone is likely getting a 1980s-themed reskin for Verdansk. Regardless of whether we time travel back to the ’80s or get surprised with a completely new map, there are some ways to improve the quality of life for Warzone.
For being such a huge contender in the battle royale space, Warzone can oftentimes feel very stale. Personally, I expected more drastic changes to be implemented with Black Ops: Cold War’s integration, but we mostly just got the Cold War weapon pool added into the…

Lawbreakers PS4 Review
Ever since the introduction of jump pads in shooters, an FPS that offered greater freedom of flight was inevitable. Lawbreakers feels like one such result. There’s a moderate learning curve to maneuvering and surviving in-air and within the myriad anti-gravity spheres of the game’s arenas. When you do manage to adapt to sniping on the fly or boosting down a corridor with strategic purpose, the resulting outcomes can feel sublime even if you rarely receive the post-match MVP award.
Even with the possibility of vertical movement, FPS maps are wasted if there aren’t adequate weapons and abilities to play with. Lawbreakers addresses this challenge through an intelligible diversity in the armaments and specialities spread across its nine classes. There’s a reasonable assortment of advanced finesse fighters, beginner-friendly gateway classes, and well-rounded combatants who are useful in any map/mode combination. Even after about 100 matches, it was pleasing to s…

League Of Legends MMO's Executive Producer Is Stepping Down
Riot Games’ unnamed MMORPG has lost its lead this week, with executive producer Greg Street announcing his departure from the project and the company due to “a combo of personal and professional considerations.” Street has been at Riot Games for nine years, and previously worked on major franchises including Age of Empires and World of Warcraft.
The MMO set in League of Legends’ world of Runeterra was announced by Street in late 2020 while hiring for the project, and details about the game have been thin on the ground since then. Street has talked candidly on Twitter about the development process from time to time, claiming that the MMO may not be released if it doesn’t meet Riot’s strict standards, as well as promising it will respect its players’ time.
Street said the decision to leave Riot was down to both personal and professional reasons, explaining that he “experienced some devastating personal losses last year and I want to be closer to my surviving family.” Stree…

Layers Of Fears Isn't The Sequel You Were Expecting
Layers of Fear developer Bloober Team has dipped its toes into a few other franchises over the last few years, but as announced during Summer Game Fest Live, it’s returning to its signature horror series with Layers of Fears. No, that’s not a spelling error–the studio is opting to reimagine its previous games using new technology.
Built using Unreal Engine 5, Layers of Fears uses the basic components of Layers of Fear, Layers of Fear 2, and Layers of Fear: Inheritance, but with “an expanded plotline and gameplay direction,” according to a press release. It’s not just a remake, however, with a new story chapter that you can see in the official reveal trailer.
