Mario wasn’t always the face of Nintendo. He first appeared in the 1981 game Donkey Kong as a character simply called Jumpman. Interestingly, he was rescuing Pauline, not Princess Peach! While Donkey Kong was the villain, he was actually the main focus of the game. So, why did Nintendo eventually rename him Mario and make him the star of over 200 games? The answer is surprisingly heartwarming and connected to Nintendo’s initial attempts to become successful in the United States – Mario’s story began here.

The poor reviews of Secret Invasion might be because the people in charge don’t want to highlight past errors, and G’iah’s absence likely contributes to that. However, not every unanswered question is so complicated. There’s one existing mystery that Marvel could easily resolve to the audience’s satisfaction. Unfortunately, Avengers: Doomsday is missing an opportunity, failing to even mention this mystery in its latest trailer.

James Cameron and his team largely succeed with the new film. Avatar 3 is the most visually impressive movie in the series so far, and provides a satisfying conclusion to the story many viewers have followed. However, Avatar: Fire and Ash also has significant issues, particularly with its ending and the ideas it presents.

Tiger Electronics, famous for its handheld games, tried something new in 1997 with the Game.com. It looked good on paper, featuring a touchscreen, basic internet access, and the ability to use two game cartridges at once. It was designed to be a personal digital assistant, or PDA, that also played games – a concept similar to what smartphones eventually became. However, the Game.com was a commercial failure. It had very few games available, a black-and-white screen, and several limitations that made it unpopular. Tiger discontinued it in 2000, and fewer than 300,000 units were ever sold.

Today’s gamers might find it odd that classic characters like Mario don’t speak in their games. With realistic motion-capture technology now common, it feels unusual for these iconic figures to remain silent, especially since they often have voices in movies and other adaptations. But this silence is actually a valuable part of their appeal, and I believe it’s a major reason why these characters remain so popular with a wide audience.

Superman’s enduring popularity stems from his appearances in some truly classic comic books. For decades, the most skilled comic creators have crafted incredible stories about the Man of Steel, captivating readers of all ages. The following ten stories represent the very best of those tales and are considered among the greatest ever told.

Doom is entering the Marvel Cinematic Universe at a perfect time. Not long ago, the original Avengers team was still active, easily defeating every major villain they faced. But Doctor Doom presents a completely different level of threat. Here’s a look at how each of the original six Avengers would fare against him.

As a huge fan of dark, supernatural thrillers, I was thrilled to see Constantine finally hit HBO Max! It’s based on the classic DC Hellblazer comics and stars Keanu Reeves as John Constantine, a really compelling character. The story kicks off with Constantine having already faced the ultimate low – he tried to take his own life and actually went to Hell. Now, he knows he’s destined for damnation unless he can somehow redeem himself. The movie follows him as he teams up with a cop, Angela Dodson (Rachel Weisz), to investigate a supposed suicide, and they quickly get pulled into this massive battle between Heaven and Hell. It’s a really engaging ride!
