John Carpenter’s Toxic Commando Review – So-So, Commando

Experiences with this game will differ, but the story isn’t worth paying much attention to. While Toxic Commando doesn’t need a heavy focus on narrative, it surprisingly tries to deliver one. You control a squad taking on a mysterious delivery job, and things quickly fall apart. They become infected and team up with a new ally to destroy the source of the infection. It sounds straightforward, but the game is filled with bad dialogue (“Is there a Mr Gallagher?”), clumsy attempts at humor, and characters that feel like tired stereotypes. It’s strange why the developers include so many cutscenes, but thankfully you can skip them.

Marathon Review – Runner’s High

I’ve spent a good amount of time playing both the Server Slam and the full release of Marathon, and I’m genuinely having fun with it. It’s not just that I like it more than expected, but I actually want to keep playing, even after losing all my progress. That said, it’s probably not for everyone, especially if you’re looking for a highly competitive or constantly updated live-service game – we don’t need any more of those.

1 Year Ago, Netflix Released a Terrifying Masterpiece That’s Now it’s Second Highest Watched Show Ever

A year ago today, on March 13, 2025, Netflix quietly released the thriller series Adolescence. While it didn’t generate much initial buzz – typical for the platform – the show quickly resonated with viewers. Despite being released alongside the big-budget movie The Electric State, Adolescence proved that compelling storytelling can triumph over sheer spending. It rapidly became one of Netflix’s most popular shows, surpassing the performance of the company’s most expensive film and captivating audiences with its fast-paced and insightful narrative.

An Underrated Remake of a 50-Year-Old Sci-Fi Cult Classic Is Now on Peacock

Let’s discuss Death Race, Paul W.S. Anderson’s updated version of the 1975 film Death Race 2000. The original is a beloved cult classic from the ’70s, known for its campy style, low budget, satirical take on a dark future, and excessive violence. However, the remake is a surprisingly good film that doesn’t get enough credit. It’s set in a grim future and stars Jason Statham as Jensen Ames, a wrongly convicted man who’s forced by a scheming prison warden to compete in a deadly, televised race of armored cars for a chance at freedom.

PS5 Pro Adding Support for 2 Game of the Year Winners

I was so excited to hear that Remedy Entertainment is going to use the new features of the PS5 Pro to upgrade both Control: Ultimate Edition and Alan Wake 2! Control first came out on PS4 back in 2019, and the Ultimate Edition on PS5 was fantastic – the game was a huge hit for the studio and won a ton of awards. Alan Wake 2, which came out in 2023, was just as successful, getting amazing reviews from everyone. I can’t wait to see how these upgrades will look!
