Last February, Xbox’s Obsidian Entertainment released Avowed, a new fantasy role-playing game. While it wasn’t their best game so far – reviews averaged between 77 and 81 on Metacritic – it was still one of the better RPGs of the year, though not a contender for the top spot. Originally available only on PC and Xbox Series X, Avowed is now also on PS5, and players there are enjoying it. It currently has a 4.65 out of 5 rating on the PlayStation Store, based on over 1,000 reviews.

Even now, many science fiction fans consider Dark to be a nearly flawless series. It masterfully explored the unsettling idea that our lives are predetermined and the lasting emotional impact of trauma passed down through families. Unlike most time travel shows which often ignore plot holes, Dark built its story around a meticulously crafted, self-contained timeline, treating every cause-and-effect loop and paradox as an integral part of its design.

Certain anime from the ’80s have become hugely popular and define the decade. But there were many other excellent shows from that era that deserve recognition, even if they’ve been forgotten over time. Now is a perfect time to rediscover these fantastic, lesser-known anime classics from the ’80s.

As a huge fan of Mike Flanagan’s work, I’m really excited about his next projects! He’s tackling Stephen King again, this time with adaptations of The Mist and Carrie. I think it’s smart he’s choosing these stories, because they’re both classics that have been remade a few times already, so there’s a built-in audience and a lot of potential to do something really special.
Under the shadow of the Mexican sun, the global standard-setter for anti-money laundering, countering the financing of terrorism, and countering proliferation financing, unveiled its fifth Plenary, a gathering of weary officials who seemed to have more wrinkles than a used dollar bill.
