Some people do not respect Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid.

Even though the two walked the runway for Victoria's Secret's iconic annual Fashion Show and have secured many high-profile deals, they aren't respected by some of the company's former models.

Movie studios regularly mine comic books for their built in audiences, merchandise tie-ins, and action-friendly storylines. They've routinely turned to games for the same opportunity. There's just one problem. Many of them are terrible. Uniformly terrible.

Players, critics, and audiences are all routinely disappointed by video game movies. Читать дальше...

That honor goes to the men.
