Daniel Radcliffe starring in BBC GTA Drama

The BBC has officially announced its new factual drama that will focus on the story surrounding the creation of Rockstar Games’ flagship series, Grand Theft Auto, and the controversy that was stirred up because of it. Not only that, but they’ve confirmed that Daniel Radcliffe will be in it.
Titled Game Changer, the former Harry Potter star will be taking the role of GTA co-creator Sam Houser. Starring alongside him will be Aliens star Bill Paxton, who will be playing as Jack Thompson, a lawyer and anti-video game activist. The drama is said to center on the real-life conflict between Houser and Thompson.
A description of the show was revealed via the BBC’s media centre:
“Conceived for an adult audience, this special 90-minute drama tells the story of the controversy surrounding the computer game Grand Theft Auto – arguably the greatest British coding success story since Bletchley Park.”
Original GTA developers, DMA Design have gone on record saying they’re not confident in the drama, having claimed that none of its employees had been approached or consulted prior to the announcement of Game Changer, and also stated that a dramatic retelling of the events surrounding how GTA was first conceived wouldn’t be accurate. Though maybe those worries have been alleviated somewhat since the drama is focusing more on the controversy and the relationship between Houser and Thompson rather than the actual game.
Filming is said to start on April 20th. Whether it will be accurate and down-to-earth or portray the now-disbarred Thompson as a scenery-chewing bad guy remains to be seen.

PS5 Alone in the Dark Reboot Stars Jodie Comer, David Harbour This Halloween

On October 25, 2023, THQ Nordic’s Alone in the Dark reboot will star Killing Eve’s Jodie Comer and Stranger Things’ David Harbour. Comer will play Emily Hartwood, while Harbour will play Edward Carnaby.
The demo, loosely based on the 1992 original, is available for download from the PS Store. This prologue, starring supporting character Grace Saunders, is inspired by Alone in the Dark 2’s Jack in the Dark demo and allows you to explore the Derceto Mansion.
The showcase didn’t focus on combat, but previous showings have shown a frantic over-the-shoulder shooter, and developer Pieces Interactive promises a variety of puzzles. Depending on how much guidance you want, you can adjust the difficulty.
We’re excited about the final product. Alone in the Dark hasn’t been respected in recent years, despite its huge influence. A compelling reboot that updates the 1992 classic looks to put the franchise back on track.

Warhammer RTS Realms of Ruin Masses for PS5 Invasion

Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Realms of Ruin, a new real-time strategy game where players command one of four warring factions, is coming to PS5 in the grimdark future.
PlayStation’s strategy gaming renaissance makes us feel like we’re living in the best possible time for console gamers who love command. Realms of Ruin could be a cool addition if it succeeds. As fans know, Warhammer games are unfortunately inconsistent in quality, so we’ll reserve judgment until we see some gameplay.
Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Realms of Ruin: your thoughts? What do you think of Age of Sigmar’s controversial rebranding in general?

According to Metacritic, The Lord of the Rings: Gollum is the worst-rated game of 2023, setting a new low for AAA releases. OpenCritic’s story is similar. See our video or written review to understand why.
Only eFootball was more universally hated. Balan Wonderworld and Babylon’s Fall are other villains in that awful rogue’s gallery.
