Venom is one of Spider-Man’s most prominent antagonists - and sometimes one of his more prominent allies, on a good day. However, despite this status, and despite the popularity of Venom more broadly speaking, the pair’s interactions on the big screen have been notably limited....

Years after its initial release, the superb indie platformer,Celeste, has essentially received a sequel of sorts calledCeleste 64: Fragments of the Mountain. Made in about a week from the originalCelestedevelopment team, the 3D platformer throws our heroine into a semi-open area with dozens of strawberries to collect (30 to be exact).
