Horror and television have always been a bit of an awkward fit. What’s scary and what’s bingeable are often mutually exclusive.

Still, in the modern streaming era, there are plenty of horror TV shows that get the spooky job done. Gathered on Netflix, Prime Video, Hulu, HBO Max, Apple TV+, Paramount+, and more are some truly great streaming options to elevate the heart rate....

The role-playing, dice-rolling, life-escaping fantasy known as Dungeons & Dragons has remained an incredibly popular game for decades. As Dungeon Masters direct their magical epic worlds for their unsuspecting players, the format of creating characters and meeting up in person to role-play a tale unique to the participating group has outlasted many forms of interactive entertainment.

Yes, you read that headline right. Google says they’re putting out a product for the 8-bit NES system, and it utilizes in-cartridge dial-up technology to connect to the internet.

To see Google’s one-day-early gag, simply head over to Google Maps and select ‘Quest’ as your viewing mode at the top right....

Fortnite is one of the most profitable games of all time. Both its studio, Epic Games, and players have ample opportunities to make money off of it. But most of Fortnite’s player base consists of kids that haven’t even turned 13 yet, so Epic Games has implemented rules that keep them from entering any competitive game types with cash prizes.

Eight years after directing the legendary Deathline, Gary Sherman finally stepped behind the cameras again to make a zombie film that wasn’t exactly a zombie film.
