Any show which can make a genuinely original joke about Justin Theroux's large penis gets my vote.
But seriously while Legion, Saul and Handmaids Tale had great seasons this year and Twin Peaks surprised me by how good it was even after a 26 year break, nothing for me compared to the final season of The Leftovers. This…

I haven't even bought a PS4 yet.Despite the fact that I desperately want to play the final games in two of my favorite series of all time, Uncharted and Arkham games.

Finally I am halfway through Resistance 3 now and it might me the most underrated game of the 7 generation. The campaign is brilliant filled with a compelling story, an atmosphere that is bleak yet never overbearing and an amazing weapon arsenal. The Health system was a brilliant choice forcing me to play smartly…

For me Arkham City was the best in the series because what it lost in atmosphere from Asylum it more than made up in that empowering feeling of being Batman being Batman. Flying around Arkham City, hearing someone getting harassed by thugs and then diving in and beating up the thugs is what Batman is for me.
Besides…

I also played Batman Arkham Asylum after MGS4 and holy sweet Jesus the game still holds up very well outside the Killer Croc section. It has a brilliant atmosphere, both the combat and the stealth were nearly perfect from the beginning and unlike Arkham Knight I really really enjoyed dicking around the island throwing…

So I am going through my PS3 backlog these days -

The thing about false accusations I never got is that why would a woman ever falsely accuse someone if she very well knows the amount of shitstorm that is about to be thrown at her.
It takes a huge amount of courage to reveal those horrible experiences that happened to her and yet still the people blame the women…

I think Putin might be the most dangerous Russian leader USA ever had to face. Neither Stalin nor Khrushchev nor Brezhnev had the balls to interfere in the democratic processes of America nor did they have the cunning to understand the huge divisions present in America and exploit it so well.
On November 9th 2016…

PS3

I am hoping that there isn't a 3 year cycle between Last f Us 2 and Uncharted 4 just like there was between Uncharted 4 and Last of Us. All the same there is a very good chance it will get delayed to 2019.
Seriously though why is it that the game development cycles have been so long this gen ? There would be a 5 year…

Also I finally played my first RPG this week. I am not a RPG person because I despise being stuck in clunky menus and the reading huge texts of exposition. However something like Bethesda Open World games had interested me for a long time and I finally gave in and bought Oblivion and Fallout 3

Red Dead Redemption 2 and Last of Us 2. Those two alone will make 2018 quite a year.
I want to be hopeful for Assassin's Creed again but I have only loved two entries in the series and one of them because it was more of a Pirate's game than an Assassin Creed's one.

Although considering that say PS4 or Xbox one offers old games as Classics, doesn't it make sense to play the most recent console since that will provide not only that console's library but also past games?

PS2 I guess. It has the biggest library and the games were actually quite innovative in that generation.

Well recently I completed Max Payne 3 and I liked it quite a lot. I had never played the first two games but I am familiar with Rockstar's work and I enjoyed playing as a fat depressed drunk ex-cop in South America.
I know not everyone likes the Houser brother's dialogue but I enjoyed Max making self depreciating…

I haven't watched this show but I like the cast and the premise seems interesting. The thing I was wondering about was that say The Leftovers which while a bleak show mixes enough humour and weirdness that it never feels overbearing to watch and overall is a strangely optimistic show.

The New Order and Doom 2016 are easily the best FPS of this generation because they dare to break out of the standard Call of Duty military shooter mold and just be kickass violent and fun experiences with perfect gunplay.
It's amazing to see the return of two classic retro franchises to blow every other game out of…

I have to say watching this video and realizing that our oldest ex president (HW Bush) turned 93 today made me wonder about the times when politics wasn't a cesspool of toxicity and hatred, when there wasn't this sports team mentality about teams and sides that has divided this country into half, when people were…

But still considering the previous generation lasted for 8 years which allowed devs to use the systems to their maximum capabilities I feel it's stupid to have new hardware every three years.
It's a hard and a time consuming process to make a game this generation and adding new machines to the mix when devs have gotten…

Is someone else here watching the E3 conference?
I wish AV Club would make a live chat about it so that we can snark about it .
