Charlie Cox Won't Take Credit For His Clair Obscur Performance

"I'm thrilled for this nomination," Cox said. "I've said this before, and I think it's important to say, there's an amazing French actor by the name of Maxence Cazorla who did almost all of the motion capture for that role in that game. So any nomination or any credit I get, I really have to give to him because I kind of believe that the performance of that character is really down to him, and my voice is just part of that process."

Dispatch Review - Fantastic Superhero TV

Dispatch feels like it harkens back to the early 2010s--a time when Telltale Games was creating incredible episodic adventure games inspired by graphic novels, superhero stories were beginning to fill to the brim with quips to counterbalance the angst of the genre in the 2000s, and office-based TV comedies were everywhere. If not for snippets of gameplay, Dispatch would simply be a great TV show that I would want to tune into every week.

Metroid Prime 4 Reveals A Chatty NPC Problem

At least for the game's opening areas, the stoic bounty hunter Samus Aran isn't alone. Instead, she's accompanied by what is reportedly a very annoying Galactic Federation trooper named Myles MacKenzie. A new trailer reveals he's not the game's only sidekick, either.

Why Is Mario Being Such A Jerk In The Galaxy Movie Trailer?

In today's first trailer for next year's The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, there's one aspect that stuck out as very peculiar. Throughout the two minutes of footage, the titular star speaks only two words (unless you count a "Wahoo!"), and they're incredibly out of character for the mustachioed good guy. "It's trash," sneers Chris Pratt voicing Mario, looking at Bowser's painting while sanctimoniously closing his eyes in the least Mario-like moment I've ever seen.
