3 Xbox Game Franchises That Never Made It Past the Original Xbox

Released in 2002, Blinx: The Time Sweeper was a unique platformer famously marketed as the “World’s First 4-D Action Game.” Players control Blinx, a cat on a mission to save the world and a princess. He uses a special vacuum cleaner, the TS-1000, to manipulate time – slowing it down, speeding it up, recording, reversing, or even stopping it altogether. Despite having a memorable character, solid gameplay, and a lot of potential, the series only got one sequel, Blinx 2: Masters of Time and Space, in 2004. The Blinx franchise disappeared after that, but it would be a great candidate for a modern remake.

40 Years Ago Today, An Iconic Sitcom Ended on a Cliffhanger After 158 Episodes (But What Happened?!)

It’s unusual for a sitcom to end with an unresolved cliffhanger.

Japan’s No. 1 Spring 2026 Anime Is the True Successor to an All-Time Great

Fans loved Fullmetal Alchemist so much that finding another anime quite like it has been difficult. While many shows have tried to reach the same level of quality, most haven’t succeeded. Those hoping for a sequel or similar series didn’t realize they were actually waiting for a new story by the same creator. Eleven years after Fullmetal Alchemist concluded, Hiromu Arakawa released a new manga called Daemons of the Shadow Realm. In Spring 2026, Bones Film—the studio behind the original Fullmetal Alchemist—adapted it into an anime, and it quickly became the top-ranked anime in Japan, according to multiple reports.

Final Fantasy 9 Officially Returns In June With New Release

With no news of a remake after its 25th anniversary, and some recent rumors circulating, the last couple of years have been disappointing for Final Fantasy 9 fans. However, it’s important to remember that rumors aren’t always true, and because Final Fantasy 9 is so beloved and many people want a remake, fans are still holding out hope that Square Enix will announce one.

The Duffer Brothers’ Next Sci-Fi After Stranger Things Is Only Weeks Away

With the huge success of the sci-fi show, it’s been fascinating to watch what the Duffer brothers plan to do next after Stranger Things wraps up, especially considering the mixed reactions to its final season. While the last chapter wasn’t a complete hit with everyone, the Duffer brothers have a strong history of creating popular shows, which suggests their future projects will likely be successful as well.

3 Reasons PS6 Needs to Be Released After 2027

Although the idea of a PlayStation 6 is exciting, I believe launching one next year would be a mistake. I usually like to see new PlayStation consoles released quickly, but in this case, I think Sony would be better off waiting a bit longer before releasing the PS6.
