I know both of these stars are so used to being the top guy in their respective films, but after Cruise's recent comments about their friendship and his respect for Keanu Reeves, a movie with the two of them needs to happen. They've both defined the most recent eras of their career with their dedication to authentic filmmaking. Imagine combining the stunts of Mission: Impossible with the action of John Wick, with both stars using their respective skills. 

For me, this would have to come down to a Soulsborne or Souls-like game. I've been playing a lot of Elden Ring recently so that would have to go up there, but I also want to shout out Jedi Survivor, which I think has some really underrated mechanics. As a Star Wars fan, it's such an immersive experience that feels like being a jedi.

I'm a particularly casual gamer, so my answer will probably differ from many others, but I absolutely hate the rats in Elden Ring. I know they're really easy to kill, but there's nothing more frustrating than them coming out of nowhere and cornering you. I also absolutely despise any enemy that shoots you with magic, a catapult, or some other ranged weapon from far away.

I feel like so many people will have different answers, and a lot of it will have to do with which era one started playing. I would say that gameplay-wise, Heart Gold/Soul Silver probably claims the number one spot due to the fact that you can travel to multiple regions. However, Let's Go Pikachu & Eevee has the gameplay advantage of couch co-op, which is a ton of fun. Aesthetically, Gen 3 is my favorite, with Emerald likely being my favorite overall game.

I think both of these series have enormous potential for sci-fi on television, but I'm personally looking forward to Warhammer a bit more right now just due to the involvement of Henry Cavill. There are some talented people working on Mass Effect, and the world-building in that series looks fascinating to me, but I feel a lesser degree of personal excitement.

I have a lot of friends who prefer 2049, and while I certainly understand why, I'm partial to the original. 2049 is flashy with vibrant colors and modern visuals, but I never really felt as strongly about the narrative. The original Blade Runner is just so prolific, and the level of craft in so many different areas that went into creating its aesthetic and atmosphere in 1982 is unbelievable. The final cut is also such a brilliant work of storytelling, and I think it's one of the pinnacles of science fiction in any medium.
