Experience the terror of Duck Hunt: The Movie

You know, when you think about it, that dog in Duck Hunt was a jerk. Always running away with the ducks, he was — and laughing, always laughing.

Still, we never realized how evil he truly was until we saw the opening entry in G4 Films’ Epictober Film Festival: The Hunt.

A dark, bloody take on the classic Nintendo light-gun shooter, The Hunt follows two hunters whose quest for game brings them face to face with a savage beast bent on slaughter. You can watch the 10-minute film below to get in the Halloween spirit (note: this video features some gory effects and at least one obscenity that definitely wasn’t in Duck Hunt):

The Hunt is directed by Sam Balcomb, and kicks off G4’s three-film series that continues tomorrow with director Drew Daywalt’s Kart Driver (guess which game that film is based on!) and concludes with Gregg Bishop’s The Birds of Anger.

No joke, we’d love to see an entry in the festival based on Donkey Kong. Just imagine the possibilities!

Is NBA 2K26 cross-platform?
A basketball character with a sweatband.

Football fans have the Madden games, baseball fans have MLB The Show, and basketball fans wait every year for the new NBA 2K entry. This year, we have NBA 2K26 with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Angel Reese, and Carmelo Anthony each appearing as the cover athlete on the various editions of the game. All the classic modes are back, including MyCAREER, MyTeam, MyNBA, The W, and more, but the big question is if you can play online with friends on other platforms like you can with Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4, or is it limited like Madden NFL 26? Before you rush the hoop and grab NBA 2K26, I'm calling a timeout to fill you in on all the cross-platform details.
