  29-11-2017 21:48 via gamespot.com
  
  The one thing people simply can't stop talking about when it comes to Justice League isn't the world's most famous superheroes teaming up or even getting to know big-screen versions of The Flash (Ezra Miller), Aquaman (Jason Momoa), or Cyborg (Ray Fisher). Instead, nobody can get over the use of CGI to remove Henry Cavill's mustache for his portrayal of Superman.Cavill had grown out his facial hair for a role in the next Mission: Impossible film and was unable to shave it off when it came time t

Or, through the power of imagination, you could attempt to truly visualize it and then discuss at length how absolutely absurd it truly is. With that in mind, it's time I say it: Forza Horizon 6 and the previous entries in the series do not make sense, and the longer we think about it, the weirder it gets.If you're unfamiliar, each game in the Forza Horizon series is set at the Horizon Festival, a car show-

  Baldur's Gate 3 is an absolutely massive game, and as such, I've come to terms with the fact that we're simply never going to find every single reference, Easter egg, wink, and nod developer Larian has tucked away within its code. In many ways, there's something exciting in knowing that, despite sinking 400+ hours into the game, there is inevitably going to be something that surfaces and surprises me. That said, I can't say I was expecting anything quite like this "one more thing."Following a po

  Snowpiercer is a fun watch, but I don't think I ever would have thought to use the concept of the movie for a PvPvE first-person shooter. But that's what Enginefall feels like, and it makes for one of the more interesting shooters I've previewed over the past year, especially with how it uses mechanics and features from the extraction subgenre. When it comes to Enginefall, so far, I most enjoy how it creates incentives for players to approach each new area with either violence or peace, and rewa
