Maybe we’re all secretly masochists or something, but I’ve often found that the stories that test our tear ducts are usually the ones that hit the hardest and stick around the longest. A little while ago, a little […]

I’ve written a lot about Naughty Dog’s magnum opus The Last of Us here on The Arcade. Like, a lot. So even though Gustavo Santaolalla’s incredible score has been on my hit list for a while, I’ve put it off for as long as I could. Truth be told, this week’s High Score could have […]

"Moon Knight has always been one of those characters that given the right creative team can be incredible. The problem is though with so many different visions, incarnations and iterations of the character over the years that it can be more than challenging to find a new direction" - has Ellis found it?

‘Epic’ is a word that gets thrown around a lot these days. Originally reserved for awe-inspiring displays of enormous magnitude, ‘epic’ has since become trivialized to the point of mass delusion; frequently used to describe a well made cheese sandwich or a decent dubstep remix you heard the other day.
