Videos Compare the Sizes of Monsters in Video Games and Movies, Smallest to Biggest
Just how much bigger is the Cloverfield monster than, say, Stay Puft?
The official bio for YouTube channel MetalBallStudios reads, “A channel of incredible comparisons in 3D, animations, shorts and special effects, machinimas and much more,” and the channel most definitely lives up to that promise with a ton of videos that compare everything from World War II deaths per country to, uh, animal penis sizes.
But we’re not here to talk about animal penises. Rather, MONSTERS.
The channel’s latest compares monsters from video games, ranking them from smallest to biggest, and another recent video gave the same treatment to movie monsters!

Open Beta on Now for ‘Mortal Shell II’ [Trailer]
Cold Symmetry and publisher Playstack have returned to Summer Game Fest with an update on Mortal Shell II, which now has an Open Beta available to players on Steam. The Open Beta provides access to the opening Prologue of the main game, as well as an early section of the game’s open world. Along the way, players will face many challenges, including dungeons, mini-bosses, and “one truly formidable foe.”
You are the Harbinger, a being prophesied to reclaim the blessed Undermether’s stolen Ova from the daunting creatures that ruthlessly guard her unborn. Mortal Shell II is a standalone sequel that significantly expands on the original with unrestricted, adrenaline-charged combat, offering deeper weapon design with extensive upgrade options, and an emphasis on free exploration. The game’s immersive, interconnected open world is expansive yet deliberately compact, designed to unfold its twisted landscapes and hidden structures while respecting the player’s time.
Once again, players will be making use of Shells — dormant forms of forgotten warriors are scattered throughout the world. Once discovered, each Shell can be awakened and possessed, unlocking their innate strengths and unique abilities. Evolve your own style of combat by harnessing the diverse unique abilities of each Shell, and unravel their secrets through the discovery of lost memories.
Mortal Shell II is slated to release later this year on PC, Xbox Series and PlayStation 5.
