Our popular predictions quiz is back on Push Square! If you’re new to these, it’s simple: we’ll ask you to guess what’s coming, and you try to get it right.

It’s become surprisingly affordable to buy a PlayStation 5 – you can now get one for less than the cost of 64GB of DDR5 RAM for a PC. Considering RAM is a crucial component for a gaming PC, building a high-end machine is getting increasingly expensive. For the same price, you could even buy a PlayStation 5 Pro, especially with deals like the Cyber Monday offer recently available on Amazon.

Man, I really remember those dedicated save points in old RPGs. Before games just auto-saved everything, you had to find specific spots – crystals, inns, whatever – to record your progress. It was such a rush! If I was deep in a dungeon, low on health, I’d be seriously hoping to stumble across one. I even remember desperately searching for a save point before I had to go to bed! Those points totally changed how you played – you explored more carefully, fought strategically, and really planned things out. Now, with auto-saving and quick saves, all that tension and careful planning is just…gone. It’s convenient, sure, but I kinda miss it.

When the backup sorcerers finally had to fight, they quickly understood how outmatched they were – none of them possessed Gojo’s immense power to easily defeat the villains. The situation escalated when Jogo forced Yuji Itadori to consume multiple of Sukuna’s fingers, causing Yuji to lose control and inflict widespread destruction. The upcoming season promises continued hardship for the main character, a concern echoed by his voice actor, Yuma Uchida.

Athelan Battlegrounds is a turn-based strategy game where players compete in teams of five or ten. Unlike many games where powerful equipment gives you an edge, Athelan Battlegrounds aims to make skill and smart choices the most important factors in winning. The developers want to create a competitive environment where newer players can beat experienced ones simply by using better tactics, not by spending more money.

Netflix announced in its January newsletter that a lot of movies and shows will be leaving the service on January 1st. That means December 31st is your last chance to watch them! Many subscribers might be surprised by how many titles are going away, particularly since a lot of them are fan favorites.

The new trailer features a complete song from the game, “Under the Lights,” performed by the character Cadence. Heather Gonzales portrays Cadence in the game, while LEXXE provides the singing voice.

As a gamer, it’s seriously cool to hear about stuff like this! Frank Cifaldi from the Video Game History Foundation explained that the very first Xcavator prototype is a rare look into what it was like for a small, independent developer trying to get a game onto consoles back in the 8-bit days. Apparently, the game was way ahead of its time in 1991, and nobody really got it then. But thankfully, the developer, Oberth, saved his work, and his family made sure it ended up with people who could preserve it. Now, in 2026, we’re finally going to get to play it! It’s a really important piece of gaming history, and it’s awesome that everyone involved is helping to share it with the world.

It’s always a challenge to create a sequel or remake that lives up to the original. Capturing the same magic and improving on a beloved game isn’t easy. There are some games, though, that practically demand a follow-up. We’re going to focus on those titles – the ones players are really hoping to see continued. Unfortunately, due to issues like company decisions or projects being cancelled, these potential sequels remain elusive.

The Anniversary Edition aimed to improve the game with better graphics and quicker loading. It also added support for mouse and motion controls using the Joy-Con, and included all previously released downloadable content. However, many players have reported that the update actually makes the game feel slow and clunky. Delayed reactions make fighting difficult, and the game still runs at a limited 30 frames per second, resulting in stiff and unnatural movements. Frequent crashes disrupt gameplay, often at inconvenient times. Adding to these issues, the game requires a massive 53 gigabytes of storage space, which is a significant download size, especially for those playing on the go.
