If you didn’t play this game when it first came out, it introduced some really new ideas for its time. You could hack computers, experience a story that changed based on your choices, take damage to specific body parts, disarm enemies up close, and battle genetically modified mutants – all pretty groundbreaking stuff back then.
Before the Nintendo 64 became a hit, another innovative game starring Mario proved how versatile the character could be. Released in Japan on March 9, 1996, and in North America a few months later, Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars combined the classic platforming gameplay with the style of role-playing games from Square. Though not as well-known as another Mario title released that same year, Super Mario RPG was a significant step forward for the Nintendo franchise.
Many Spider-Man fans consider the “Clone Saga” to be the biggest misstep in the comic’s history, even more so than the more recent “One More Day” storyline. It severely damaged the Spider-Man comics for years, which was particularly shocking given how well they were selling beforehand. Having read the series when it originally came out, I think it’s actually not as bad as its reputation suggests. While it definitely has flaws, revisiting the issues reveals it wasn’t consistently terrible – in fact, it was genuinely good at times throughout its lengthy run.
Netflix is removing five of its original shows over the next few weeks. The lineup includes a variety of genres – documentaries, comedy specials, and dramas. Keep an eye out for Magical Andes, Demetri Martin: Demetri Deconstructed, Sirius the Jaeger (Season 1), The Ruthless, and Fern Brady: Autistic Bikini Queen, as one will be taken off the platform each week in March.
Things are looking up for the studio now that Pascal Blanché has joined as art director. He’s a veteran artist who’s worked on popular games like Assassin’s Creed (2008), Far Cry: New Dawn, and Splinter Cell: Conviction, as well as the indie title Hooked On You.
What are we expecting from the announcement? It’s likely to include extra content – things like unlockable items and small additions – for either the fun Tomb Raider 1-3 Remastered or the somewhat imperfect Tomb Raider 4-6 Remastered.
Get ready to revisit the spooky world of Courage the Cowardly Dog! All four seasons of the classic Cartoon Network show are now available to stream on Tubi. After disappearing from HBO Max last summer, all 52 episodes returned on March 1st. The series, which originally aired from 1999 to 2002, follows Courage, a fearful dog who bravely defends his elderly owners against strange and terrifying creatures from the worlds of the paranormal, supernatural, and science fiction.
Fantasy isn’t limited to stories with swords, magic, and dragons. Many great fantasy series explore different themes, like horror or science fiction, or take place in realistic historical settings. Some of the most popular ones even blend fantasy with horror. Here are 5 fantasy series that have stood the test of time and continue to gain fans, including one that’s still being released.
The Super Smash Bros. series is a fantastic example of innovation in the fighting game genre. The original game was a surprise success on the Nintendo 64, and Super Smash Bros. Melee continues to be popular with professional gamers. While Super Smash Bros. Ultimate felt like the series’ high point for many, Super Smash Bros. Brawl – released in North America on March 9, 2008 – is arguably the best game in the series and a nearly flawless fighting game experience.
