With high profile TV shows such as Fargo and the Walking Dead spin-off World Beyond being indefinitely delayed due to the coronavirus (COVID19) outbreak, it's refreshing when a highly anticipated series moves forward. It has been announced that the third season of BBC America's stylish thriller Killing Eve will arrive two weeks earlier than initially announced.Killing Eve Season 3 will now premiere on Sunday, April 12, on both BBC America and AMC. The new season was originally set to arrive on April 26. In addition, a new trailer has been released. The trailer is more comedic than we've come to expect from the show, although, of course, the laughs are very dark. It focuses on psychopathic assassin Villanelle coming to terms with the fact that the object of her obsessions, MI5 agent Eve Polastri, isn't quite as dead as she thought she was. Check it out below.Ahhhhhhhhhhh. #KillingEve returns two weeks early, Sunday, April 12 at 9pm on @BBCAmerica and @AMC_TV. pic.twitter.com/lNJlfjCoPr — Killing Eve (@KillingEve) March 27, 2020Killing Eve stars Jodie Comer as Villanelle, Sandra Oh as Eve, and Fiona Shaw as MI6 operative Carolyn Martens.

Professional wrestling isn't filled with the greatest movies about the sport. Most notably, there was Ready To Rumble, a bonkers movie about poop cleaners helping Oliver Platt beat up DDP. There was also The Wrestler, an incredibly dark movie about the life of an indy wrestler. Now, WWE and Netflix have a movie coming out called The Main Event, which lands somewhere between the worlds of comedy and horror, depending on how you look at it.Arriving to the streaming service on April 10, the film follows a young boy played by Seth Carr (Young Killmonger in Black Panther) who finds a magical mask that gives him superpowers. However, instead of fighting crime, he enters a WWE tournament and uses his abilities to Gorilla Press Slam Keith Lee. Watch the trailer below.Sure, this is a movie geared more towards families and children, but it still looks pretty fun--and completely bonkers. It's full of NXT and WWE superstar cameos as well.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

The free-to-play first-person shooter Warface--which originally came out in 2013 for PC and 2014 for Xbox 360--has reached one million players a month after launching on Nintendo Switch, publisher My.Games announced.Developers Allods Team and Crytek shared some interesting in-game statistics alongside this announcement. These include players completing nearly 500,000 PvP matches, and PvE missions and co-op Special Operations being the Switch's most popular modes. Further, total playtime on the Switch has surpassed 83,000 days since launch. Earlier this year, My.Games' head of global publishing Alexey Izotov said a lack of shooters could benefit Warface--and this new player milestone seems to corroborate this.In addition to this announcement, Allods Team confirmed plans to release Warface's next big update on all three platforms--PlayStation 4, Switch, and Xbox One--simultaneously. While what this update will contain remains unknown for now, the studio said it will arrive sometime this summer.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

It was August 1990, and there was no more popular franchise than the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. The comic book that two creators--Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird--created as a joke and printed in their garage had spawned a hit animated series and, now, a blockbuster movie. Following a March 30 release, the first Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie went on to earn over $202 million at the box office. The sky was seemingly the limit on what could be done with this property. Then the next step for the franchise was revealed: The Ninja Turtles were becoming a band and going on a live stage tour that would eventually take them around the world, pitting them nightly against their archnemesis The Shredder and his gang of Foot Clan thugs in an attempt to save rock and roll.It was unlike anything that had ever been done before. This wasn't a Broadway musical about a cartoon character like Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark or a touring show akin to Disney on Ice. This was a concert with a storyline. On the surface, the move to give the characters instruments, release an album, and go on a concert tour heavily sponsored by Pizza Hut seemed like a quick cash grab; a chance for the creators of the Ninja Turtles and a company that serves up their dish of choice--there's a song on the album called "Pizza Power," after all--to capitalize on the mainstream popularity the property was enjoying. The real story behind the Coming Out of Their Shells tour, though, is very different.In reality, this entire endeavor was born out of a desire two "punky little kids" had to change musical theater. "I started out as a musical theater performer in New York, working as a dancer and a singer in musical theater and industrials," Bob Bejan, who co-wrote the album and wrote and produced the live show, told GameSpot. At the time, though--the mid-1980s--Broadway musicals were a lot different than they are in 2020, and Bejan had the first-person experience to know it after performing in revivals of both West Side Story and Grease. "There really [was] not, other than like Andrew Lloyd Webber musicals, a lot of rock and roll in the theater like it is now," he said.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

I love almost everything about Doom Eternal, including those tough Marauders that some people have a disdain for. But there's an optional aspect of the game that is thrust upon you from the start and can negatively impact the experience--those pesky tutorial messages.Whenever you first encounter a new enemy type in Eternal, you're immediately presented with a pop-up notification explaining virtually everything you need to know about them, including weaknesses and how to most effectively deal with them. This doesn't happen after being killed by such an enemy (although the loading screens do default to enemy-specific tips depending on how you died), but before you've even had the opportunity to fire a shot, let alone begin to examine their behavior or prod for weak spots.Part of the joy with Doom Eternal is the speed with which everything happens, and--as discussed in our review--the mindfulness with which you make decisions. You need to carefully consider what your most urgent resource needs are and how to best deal with whatever foe is in front of you, and it would be fun to mix in the occasional puzzle of figuring out the best way to tackle a new enemy type. Given most of these first-time encounters happen in a one-on-one fight where little else is happening, it wouldn't necessarily be too overwhelming.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Predator: Hunting Grounds will have an open beta this weekend, across both PS4 and PC. The asymmetrical multiplayer title will also support cross-play during the weekend, giving you a chance to play with a wider pool of players during its test.Predator: Hunting Grounds borrows ideas from developer Illfonic Games' previous multiplayer title, Friday The 13th. Four players assume the roles of four different human classes, ranging from a standard assault class to a sneaky scout and supportive medic. You'll have to fight against a range of AI enemies and complete objectives to escape the tropical horror, while a fifth player assumes the role of the iconic Predator to hunt you down.Players can attempt to take down the Predator or complete objectives fast enough to escape, while the Predator needs to use sophisticated weapons to pick off other players without being caught in a trap. Predator players will have three distinct configurations to choose from, each with their own tools and weapons that inform your method of hunting.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Gearbox has been steadily raising overall power level of Borderlands 3 with events that offer more generous drops and level cap increases. Still, you may be missing out on some high-level gear, so the developer--just after the release of the Lovecraft-themed Guns, Love, and Tentacles DLC--has made it easier than ever to get great loot for a limited time. Until April 2, you can just buy it.A "Door Busters Mini Event" in the game adds legendary weapons and items to vending machines. That applies across all types of gear, so you can get legendary mods and shields from med vending machines, and legendary grenades from ammo vendors, in addition to legendary guns.Some legendary items are one-of-a-kind collectibles with special properties, which you can usually tell if the name of the gear makes some kind of reference to another piece of Borderlands lore or even other video games. Others are just super-charged versions of epic or rare guns with stronger stats or more modifiers. Note that some special legendaries are locked to story missions, and as a result probably can't be found in vending machines. As usual for vending machines, the gear offered will be roughly matched to your current level, so the higher your stats the better loot you can buy.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com
