It's been two decades since Konami and Team Silent released one of the best survival horror entries in Silent Hill 2 - a sequel that enhances everything that its predecessor laid out by giving us a much more terrifying experience into the cursed town that the game derives its name from. Released on this day in 2001 for the Sony PlayStation 2, the game introduces us to widower James Sunderland - who is drawn into the mysterious town of Silent Hill due to a letter sent by his wife Mary... Who died three years prior to the events of the game. Exploring the town to find answers, he is instead drawn to the mystery of his surroundings - encountering people with their own problems as well as creatures that are demonic manifestations of a person's own dark nature.
The backstory of Silent Hill is a convoluted case - which is built on the notes and mysterious letters that center on a town that had a cult worshipping a demon and unleashing dark energies that have remained a part of it even after the events of the first game. Silent Hill 2 and the other sequels explore in great detail other aspects of the town and expand on its lore - as well as the poor unfortunate souls like James who are drawn to go there and their "skeletons in the closet" are brought to life because of the dark energies that still reside inside the haunted town.
Gameplay of course is typical Survival Horror fare - you guide the character through a town and explore collecting items, solving puzzles, and defeating enemies to progress through the story. There are multiple endings for this entry as well - the most out of any installment, and one that is dependent on the choices you make and conditions you set about completing the game. It's this attention to detail and these design choices that among the great aspects of the games Team Silent made, and why this sequel is beloved by many fans to this day.
It's definitely going to be a BIG adventure in the Mushroom Kingdom and beyond when Nintendo and Illumination present their Super Mario Bros. animated film next year, as the cast of the movie lending their voices and talents has been revealed by none other than Shigeru Miyamoto himself - with Chris Pratt leading the charge as the voice of Mario! The Queen's Gambit's own Anya Taylor-Joy will be voicing Princess Peach, while Charlie Day has Pratt's back as his brother Luigi! Then there's Jack Black as the bad dinosaur Bowser, and Seth Rogen is going to be Donkey Kong!

Check out the trailer below and see what's in store for the trio of Hollywood stars!
Here's the official synopsis for the film from the folks at Netflix!
RED NOTICE | Official Teaser | Netflix
When an Interpol-issued Red Notice — the highest level warrant to hunt and capture the world’s most wanted— goes out, the FBI’s top profiler John Hartley (Dwayne Johnson) is on the case. His global pursuit finds him smack dab in the middle of a daring heist where he’s forced to partner with the world’s greatest art thief Nolan Booth (Ryan Reynolds) in order to catch the world’s most wanted art thief, “The Bishop” (Gal Gadot). The high-flying adventure that ensues takes the trio around the world, across the dance floor, trapped in a secluded prison, into the jungle and, worst of all for them, constantly into each other’s company. The all star cast is joined by Ritu Arya and Chris Diamantopolous. Directed and written by Rawson Marshall Thurber (Central Intelligence, Skyscraper) and produced by Hiram Garcia, Dwayne Johnson and Dany Garcia of Seven Bucks Productions, Beau Flynn’s Flynn Picture Co. and Thurber’s Bad Version, Inc., Red Notice is a stylish globe-trotting game of cat-and-mouse (and cat).
Red Notice starts streaming on Netflix on November 12!

Very Strange Consequences indeed... And what an episode of "What If?" it was for those tuned in to the animated series set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and streaming on Disney +!
Titled as "What If... Doctor Strange Lost His Heart Instead of His Hands?", the episode is an emotional ride to take in - and featured the return of Benedict Cumberbatch as Stephen Strange, Rachel McAdams as Christine Palmer, Benedict Wong as Wong, and Tilda Swinton as The Ancient One. It had very big consequences for this reality with the Sorcerer Supreme, and as the poster might clue you in... It might have slyly introduced a well known interdimensional Marvel Universe character to the MCU.
We'll find out eventually down the line, but the tentacles also made an appearance in Agent Carter's episode. SG?
Still sticking to its US release date of October 15, Sony Pictures and Marvel have revealed that "Venom: Let There Be Carnage" will be PG-13 - as well as a brand new poster featuring the cast and the two enemy symbiotes Venom and Carnage who will be played by Tom Hardy and Woody Harrelson respectively!
The film is directed by Andy Serkis, aka Gollum of the Middle-Earth movies and Ulysses Klaue of the MCU!
