God of War Returns, and Wolverine is set for September. But so is every other game apparently. So while we all wait for GTA VI, we can now also wait even longer for Fable. Steam may have been hiding in plain sight as a villain all along, we now look to Lord Gaben for guidance. Spider-Noir is more Groucho than Cagney, but it might work in its favor. And Call of Duty is bringing us to East Asia.

Meanwhile Peaches is out of season at the Oscars, Scream 7 loses its sails, and Aquaman swims slowly to a win. Plus my most anticipated in 2024.
