Anthony Mackie takes the Capn's famous shield but does very little with it.

This Oscar-winning drama is the perfecr example of style over substance.

Copycat [PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PC]
A narrative driven 'game' that's sadly a bit of a dog's dinner.

A stonking new chapter in the Assassin's Creed franchise set in feudal Japan.
Sniper Elite: Resistance [Xbox X/S, PS5/4, PC]
