25 Years Ago, PS2 Fans Got Their Answer to Legend of Zelda

Released in North America in 2001, Dark Cloud was a promising action RPG with fantasy and adventure elements. Its mix of exploring worlds and fast-paced combat felt similar to the hugely popular The Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time.

After 44 Years, Star Wars Finally Brings a Classic Toy Ship To The Movies

The beginning of The Mandalorian & Grogu features the INT-4 Interceptor, a small Imperial scout ship. In this scene, Commander Barro, an Imperial leader trapped at a remote outpost, tries to escape in the ship after Din Djarin destroys all of his AT-AT walkers. Din then uses the last walker’s weapons to shoot down the interceptor, ending the pursuit.
