In the mobile game world, there’s a common strategy that a lot of small devs will use to try to build success very quickly.

People scream as they are abducted, larger machines stalk the waters behind your village, while smaller robots prowl the area to uncover any survivors that may be hiding. It’s easy to draw parallels betweenPlanet of Lanaand HG Wells’ The War of the Worlds, so much so that I was dreading the idea of later discovering that the collected humans were being squelched into some form of goo....

Ten years ago this week,Pixarreleased Monsters University. The prequel to 2001 classic Monsters Inc., it followed Mike and Sulley as they attended MU, and grew from rivals into close friends. Over the years, Monsters University has found itself in the bottom half of Pixar’s filmography, standing shoulder to shoulder with the likes of Onward, The Good Dinosaur, and, by the look of things, Elemental.
