Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is one of the most stunning video game success stories of the year so far, but actor Charlie Cox, who plays the inventive expeditioner Gustave, had no idea just how massive its impact would be.
Expedition 33 is a role-playing game from Sandfall Interactive that pays homage to classic JRPGs like Final Fantasy while forging its own unique path. Rooted in French culture and art, the game is Sandfall's first video game, built on a relatively tight budget by a small team of developers, yet it sold 3.3 million copies during its first 33 days after release and has become a frontrunner for Game of the Year awards. It's an underdog success story that's taken the gaming world by storm.
There are a lot of reasons why Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is so well-received, from its gorgeous environments to its polished gameplay, excellent writing, absurdly beautiful soundtrack, and deeply resonant story about grief,...

An ex-lawyer and his crack team run an underworld service; they seek the most desperate and greedy to become fake criminals to take the fall for the rich and powerful elite’s felonies… In an undisclosed location, over one night, they will put three individuals through hell to find the perfect candidate for their latest assignment. But their world is turned upside down when they face lies, deceit, murder and a very dangerous new client auditioning for their biggest job yet.
Written by Luke Kaile, who also plays Ryan in the film, Criminal Audition began life as a one-act play in 2009, inspired by stories of doppelgangers going to prison instead of the true criminals in exchange for cash payouts.

“Infection Is Coming…”
Here in the UK, when it comes to zombie and infection films, we are mostly treated to comedic entries such as Shaun of the Dead, Doghouse and Cockneys vs Zombies. Don’t get me wrong, the films mentioned have their own merits, but am I the only one who is sick of films of the like going in that direction? Of course, films like 28 Days Later and Doomsday brought something new to the table and replaced cheap gags with genuine tension and atmosphere.
