    Another AAA live-service crown jewel from Sony, everybody

    game thoughts

    Marathon just had its Season 2 free week and the SteamDB numbers are pathetic. Sony and Bungie are watching their big-budget live service walk off a cliff.

    entertainment

    The big one is here. James Gunn's Superman has landed, tasked with rebooting an entire cinematic universe.
