Code Vein is another botched attempt at creating a Dark Souls clone that fails at capturing the beautiful world or tight gameplay of its inspiration. Code Vein is an action RPG that tries to shake up the formula established by the Dark Souls series by adding in co-operative elements and a greater focus on storytelling, but what is left is an unrewarding experience that is punishingly difficult, rather than a challenging and rewarding one....

Center Stage is so much more than a dance movie. Following the lives of several ballet students in New York City, this film touches on everything from heartbreak to eating disorders to breaking out of the mold and owning your individuality. That’s why it’s still as popular as ever, even after all this time. As much as Center Stage has our respect and loyalty, we can’t help but notice that there are still a few lingering issues that don’t make much sense....
During a conference call with JPMorgan Chase investors today, executives announced that Chase Bank has activated over one million Apple Pay accounts since the service launched last year (via AppleInsider). The bank revealed some statistics about who’s using Apple Pay with their Chase cards, and how they’re using it. Chase found that the average Apple Pay user is nine years younger and makes 21% more money than its average customers. Apple Pay users also used their credit cards more often, and were more likely to add a credit card than a debit card to their account....
Chris Evans isn’t too eager about the idea of returning to the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Steve Rogers/Captain America, but he won’t rule it out either. As the Infinity Saga came to a close in the Joe and Anthony Russo-directed Avengers: Endgame, it also marked the end of the journey for some of the universe’s most beloved heroes. However, unlike Scarlett Johansson’s Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow and Robert Downey Jr.’s Tony Stark/Iron Man, the Star Spangled Avenger actually survived the Thanos (Josh Brolin) debacle and lived a full life with Peggy Carter (Hayley Atwell)....
SNL’s Kenan Thompson is about to embark on a new sitcom for NBC calling Saving Kenan, and Chris Rock is set to direct the pilot episode. The perpetually youthful Thompson turned 40-years-old last year, but he’s been in the public eye so long that it almost feels like he should be even older. That’s of course because Thompson began his acting career in 1993, at the tender age of 15. Thompson’s first movie role came in Disney sequel D2: The Mighty Ducks, although he didn’t truly become a star until he joined the cast of Nickelodeon’s All That in 1994....

Columbo “No Time To Die” deviated from the show’s formula in a major way to produce one of it’s most divisive episodes. Actor Bert Freed was the first to play Columbo in anthology series The Chevy Mystery Show, with Peter Falk (The Princess Bride) stepping into his character’s shoes for TV movie Prescription: Murder. Falk’s initial take would differ from the one fans came to know and love, but Columbo quickly became one of the most beloved detectives in TV history once the series launched in 1971....
One of the largest Internet advertising companies yesterday told the Guardian that Apple’s implementation of Intelligent Tracking Prevention (ITP) in Safari would result in a loss of revenue amounting to hundreds of millions of dollars. ITP doesn’t block ads, but instead blocks cross-site tracking – a method used by advertisers to serve ads based on your interests by gearing them to the types of website you visit. The ad industry argues that this enables ads to be more relevant to consumers, while Apple argues that it represents an intrusion into the browsing privacy of its customers …...

It was just a couple of months ago that we reviewed the Swift X, a svelte notebook that packed performance thanks to AMD’s Ryzen 7 processor and Nvidia discrete graphics. Now Acer is adding new versions with Intel instead, specifically the just-launched 12th-generation “Alder Lake” Core processors. The 14-inch SFX14-51G is the Intel analogue to the AMD version we previously looked at, while the SFX16-52G adds a 16-inch edition to the Swift X family....

Ive will lead Charlie Rose through the secret design study for his popular show 60 Minutes on CBS.

While the markets may worry about the effect of cheaper products on Apple’s still-enviable margins, those concerns may be misplaced in the case of a low-cost iPhone, reports Fortune. There are, of course, some ifs and buts in there. Huberty is basing her numbers on a $399 price-point, which is higher than some of the estimates we’ve seen, and the figures could change depending on the degree of cannibalisation of existing models, but she does point out that the effect is seen at any price over $349....
Netflix has acquired the Chris Evans-headlined action film The Red Sea Diving Resort. While Evans has, of course, spent most of the last ten years playing Captain America, he’s continued to work on non-Marvel films on the side. Notably, the actor starred in Bong Joon-ho’s acclaimed post-apocalyptic action thriller Snowpiercer as the leader of a rebellion aboard a futuristic train that serves as humanity’s last refuge from a world ravaged by global warming....
Chris Rock says his Saw movie reboot will definitely include some humor, but is still a proper horror film with plenty of blood and gore. Like Jason Voorhees and Michael Myers, it seems the Saw movies are incapable of staying permanently dead. The franchise appeared to reach it end (after an unexpected six sequels) with 2010’s Saw: The Final Chapter, only to return in 2017 with a brand-new installment known as Jigsaw....
The latest data on U.S. iPhone sales from Consumer Intelligence Research Partners (CIRP) illustrates the ‘pause’ in iPhone sales described by Apple CEO Tim Cook in the most recent earnings call. The company’s data indicates that the iPhone 6s/Plus accounts for the largest proportion of models owned, at 34%, with the original iPhone 6/Plus just behind at 33%. The Phone 7/Plus, in contrast, sits at 26%. While CIRP puts forward a number of possible explanations for this slowing growth, Cook blamed it primarily on one factor …...
