Avengers: Infinity War Trailer Promises Infinite Action and Heroes

The Infinity War, the event the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) has built up for the past several years, is finally here. Well, at least the trailer is, but it’s still as awesome as we hoped.

Thanos, The Mad Titan, takes center stage for the trailer and will (obviously) be the main antagonist of the movie. He has grown tired of his underlings failing to retrieve the Infinity Stones (objects of pure power that have been in the MCU since the beginning), so he plans to just take them by force. And what a force he is, as Thanos easily plows through everything and everyone in the trailer. You might wonder why Thanos wants the stones if he’s already so powerful, but I’ll get to that in a bit.

Since Avengers: Infinity War is the culmination of all the previous MCU movies, every hero from those films will take part in the action. Obviously, characters such as Tony Stark/Iron Man, Steve Rogers/Captain America, and Bruce Banner/The Hulk will play key roles, and so will those who have crossed paths with The Avengers, including Dr. Strange, T’Challa/Black Panther, Peter Parker/Spider-Man, and even The Guardians of the Galaxy. Heck, I wouldn’t be surprised if Deadpool makes an appearance, because he’s just that kind of guy.

The trailer doesn’t reveal much about the plot of Avengers: Infinity War, but we already know enough: Thanos travels to Earth to find the Infinity Stones, and The Avengers have to assemble once more to stop him. I would say it’s a simple premise; however, we all are wondering the same thing: why does Thanos want the stones? In the comics, Thanos sought the stones to become the most powerful being in existence and win the affection of Death — as in the literal (and female) personification of death. And, how does Thanos proclaim his love for her? By using the stones to kill half the universe’s population. While I doubt Thanos’ plans in the movie involve wooing a robed skeleton (who somehow still manages to have sizable breasts, because comic logic), in the trailer, he mentions “balancing the universe,” which probably means he still plans to kill off a large chunk of life in the universe. But, that’s just a theory, and we will have to wait until the movie is released to learn Thanos’ true intentions.

I have watched nearly every movie to date and am excited to see how all the plot threads tie in to Avengers: Infinity War. If the movie is even half as exciting as the trailer, it just might be the best Avengers movie yet.

All you have to do to get my attention is talk about video games, technology, anime, and/or Dungeons & Dragons - also people in spandex fighting rubber suited monsters.

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 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.
