Marvel reveals the answer behind that Captain America plot twist w/ Captain America: Steve Rogers #2 *SPOILERS*


Looks like the cat is out of the bag, as Marvel FINALLY reveals the truth behind the sudden change in status quo Steve Rogers, the original Captain America, when the recently returned and restored Star Spangled Avenger showed he was an Agent of HYDRA in his new ongoing series "Captain America: Steve Rogers". Needless to say, that last page caused a lot of controversy and divided opinions - with the issue selling out and a second printing coming out as a result.

With the release of Captain America: Steve Rogers #2 this week the answer to why Steve changed has finally been revealed c/o Marvel Editor-In-Chief Axel Alonso... And naturally it's SPOILERS for those looking to pic up the issue this week.

Batman: Return To Arkham has been delayed indefinitely


Looks like fans who were looking forward to Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, DC Entertainment, and Rocksteady Studios' remastered re-release of the first two Batman Arkham games are going to have to wait a little bit longer, as a report by Batman-News.com confirms that "Batman: Return To Arkham" has been delayed indefinitely.

Batman: Return to Arkham Announce Trailer

According to the official WB Games Forums post, the decision for the delay was made in order to give the developers more time to fix the remastering of "Batman: Arkham Asylum" and "Batman: Arkham City" - which are two of the finest chapters in the series. Fan made comparison videos between footage remastered and the original release showed that the older versions looked better. Looks like the delay was justified, and a better and more confident product is more serviceable than a bad one.

Batman: Return to Arkham was supposed to be released on July 26th for the PS4 and Xbox One.

Happy Birthday Tobey Maguire, aka Spider-Man!


It's been over seven years since he last appeared in the familiar red and blue outfit of a certain amazing wallcrawler superhero, but Hollywood star Tobey Maguire will always be remembered as the first big screen Spider-Man in Sam Raimi's trilogy of films, and today marks the actor's 41st birthday!



Starting out in the original 2002 Spider-Man film as the webslinging superhero, Maguire became a household name instantly when he took on the role of Peter Parker/ Spider-Man and starred alongside Kirsten Dunst as Mary Jane Watson and James Franco as Harry Osborn. All three would reprise their roles in 2004 for Spider-Man 2 and finally for Spider-Man 3 in 2007, then Sony Pictures would reboot the franchise with 2012's "The Amazing Spider-Man" with Andrew Garfield taking over the main role. Now Spidey's joined the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and the wallcrawler is now played by young British actor Tom Holland.


City Montage (Extended/Alternate Scene) - Spider-Man

Despite being done playing Marvel's iconic superhero, Maguire's tenure as Spidey will always be remembered by a generation of fans who wanted to see the hero come to life... And he certainly delivered tenfold. Happy Birthday, Tobey Maguire!

Flashback Friday: Sonic The Hedgehog celebrates 25 Years!


In what is certainly a milestone for one of the most recognizable characters in video game history, SEGA honored its most famous blue mascot Sonic The Hedgehog - as the "way past cool" hero and freedom fighter celebrated his 25th anniversary!


Naturally, Sonic's origins stem way back in 1991 with the release of the original "Sonic The Hedgehog" video game for the Sega Genesis/ Mega Drive 16-Bit platform on June 23, 1991. That game introduced us to the blue hedgehog as he fought to stop the evil Dr. Robotnik from conquering his world and enslaving his friends by turning them into robots. That platform title was a hit, and spawned an immediate sequel the next year with Sonic The Hedgehog 2, followed by a 3rd game and then more spin-offs that eventually led to the birth of a franchise.


25 Years of Sonic the Hedgehog!

To celebrate 25 years, SEGA has released a video for Sonic's birthday!

Game Of Thrones: "Battle of the Bastards" was EPIC


As one of the most EPIC shows to be seen and witnessed in television to date, the penultimate episode of HBO's "Game of Thrones" proved without a shadow of a doubt that there is much to be said about creating a medieval fantasy battle that has the stakes on and lots of gruesome deaths as a result of it... "Battle of the Bastards" was that episode, and it showcased the long awaited confrontation between Jon Snow and his mix of free folk and loyal Stark bannermen against the forces of Ramsay Bolton and those who serve under him for the right to claim Winterfell and The North.


Let's just say that episode was "Lord of The Rings meets Saving Private Ryan meets 300", and you'll get the idea on how GRAND that episode was. Much thought and production was put into this episode, and it did not disappoint... Not one bit. You see things steadily on the rise as far as storylines go, and George R.R. Martin's epic world based on his "A Song of Ice and Fire" novels is moving ahead in the television department.


A look inside the episode gives more insight on how this eclipses what happened in last season's "Hardhome", which is directed by this episode's director, Miguel Sapochnik. Now the world awaits how Season 6 will end. Come next week, the "Winds of Winter" will rise.

Game of Thrones airs every Sunday on HBO.
