From our Review: Disney's return to the story of The Jungle Book might feel bigger and look better than anything that's come before, but at its core is a very human tale that resonates just as strongly no matter how spectacular its visual wrappings.

From our Review: It's beginning to look as though Arrow's best days are behind it. The show reached its current peak during Season 2 thanks to the compelling rivalry between Oliver Queen and Slade Wilson, but the third season failed to continue that momentum, despite the addition of Ra's al Ghul to the mix and a generally wider DC Universe canvas on which to paint. The fourth season made some significant strides, but ultimately failed to address the show's fundamental problem and, in some ways, Season 4 was the weakest yet.

- See it on Amazon for $48 (PS4, Xbox One) with Amazon Prime; $60 Without
From our Review: Attack on Titan is a peculiar beast, and I’m not just thinking about the disturbingly naked giants that prance around and try to bite your head off. Developer Omega Force’s third-person action game interpretation of the franchise goes through the plot of the anime and takes the first stab at adapting a bit of the manga that the anime has yet to cover. While it does a great job of capturing the brutal essence and fast action of the show, it has mixed results presenting the manga’s content and its own slog of an original ending in an interesting way.
