I mean, I know that this is an actual thing that is happening, but for anyone who remembers Nintendo’s once-staunch opposition to mobile gaming, it’s still a weird photo to process.

Character Creation Is The Best Part Of The New Skylanders
The idea was to show folks a quick five minute video of the character creation process in Skylanders: Imaginators while I work on our review. What I ended up is a nearly 20 minute testament to how deep and compelling this year’s gimmick turned out.

Snooker Champion Is Not VR Champion, Falls Over
Ronnie O’Sullivan is one of the greatest snooker players to ever pick up a cue. In the real world, he would kick your ass. In a virtual game of snooker, though, the dude has some problems. Mostly with the floor.

First Trailer for Horror Thriller 'The Unspoken' with Jodelle Ferland
“Let me introduce you to Adrian… Just so you know, Adrian isn’t your typical nine-year-old…” Paladin has released a trailer for a supernatural horror thriller titled The Unspoken, from director Sheldon Wilson. Jodelle Ferland stars as a young babysitter of a nine-year-old boy whose father was killed years earlier in the same house their still living in. Obviously things start to get scary. The cast includes Sunny Suljic as Adrian, plus Neal McDonough, Pascale Hutton, Matt Bellefleur, Rukiya Bernard and others. This looks like yet another typical evil-child horror movie, similar to The Omen or The Bad Seed or Joshua or Orphan. There’s plenty of them already, and this one just doesn’t look like it has anything different to offer. ›››

Another Super Creepy Teaser for Horror 'The Autopsy of Jane Doe'
“This autopsy will be conducted in four stages…” IFC has debuted another teaser trailer for the upcoming indie horror The Autopsy of Jane Doe, which received some rave reviews out of Fantastic Fest last month. We posted the first very brief teaser for the film then, but this new teaser sheds even more light on the creepy ghost story. Emile Hirsch and Brian Cox play father-son coroners who receive a mysterious homicide victim with no apparent cause of death. “Perfectly preserved on the outside, Jane Doe’s insides have been scarred, charred and dismembered.” As they begin to go to work, things start to get very creepy – as you’ll see in this trailer below. This film also stars Ophelia Lovibond, Michael McElhatton, Parker Sawyers, and Olwen Kelly. The footage in this new teaser was enough to seriously scare me and make me fearful of ever watching this, and it probably doesn’t even show much of what happens. Take a look below. ›››

Watch: Shane Carruth & Mackenzie Davis in Sci-Fi Short 'Memory Box'
“Be careful, Izzy… People are fragile.” Another intriguing sci-fi short to watch. This one is titled Memory Box, directed by filmmaking team Aaron Aites and Audrey Ewell. Sadly, Aaron Aites passed away from cancer and this is his last film as a director. Ewell is keeping his memory alive and has started an Indiegogo for extra funding to release this short (beyond the internet). It first premiered at Fantastic Fest last month and is now out online. Described as a “psycho-sexual sci-fi tinged short film”, Mackenzie Davis (from The Martian, Breathe In, “Halt & Catch Fire”) stars a young mother who works at a memory-recreation facility where actors recreate clients’ memories. Fellow sci-fi filmmaker Shane Carruth also stars. Love the score. ›››

Four More Games Added to Xbox One Backwards Compatibility Program
Four more Xbox 360 games are now playable on Xbox One.
Microsoft’s Larry “Major Nelson” Hryb announced the four new additions to the program on Twitter. These include Jurassic Park: The Game, Battlestations: Midway, Dragon’s Lair, and Tour de France 2011.
If you already own any of these games on Xbox 360, they should show up automatically in your Xbox One game library. If not, you can buy them on your Xbox One or through the links below.
One thing to note is that Tour de France 2011 is not available in all regions. The game does not appear to be available in the United States.
- Jurassic Park: The Game ($20; 1.58 GB)
- Battlestations: Midway ($20; 4.76 GB)
- Dragon’s Lair ($10; 988.61 MB)
- Tour de France 2011 (not available in the US)
The Xbox One’s backwards compatibility feature launched in November 2015 with the New Xbox One Experience update. Microsoft has added new titles on a regular basis since then–you can see all 250-plus games in the catalog here.
Since backwards compatibility launched, the response has been “overwhelming,” Microsoft recently said. Users have collectively spent 145 million hours playing Xbox 360 games on Xbox One.
In other news, Criterion Games has confirmed that it continues to work on backwards compatibility support for Burnout Paradise.
