Games

There’s something special about playing older games – they show you where modern gaming came from. It’s fun to see developers trying new things, taking risks, and sometimes making mistakes along the way. These early experiments often laid the groundwork for the games we love today, and you can see the origins of entire genres. Plus, it’s amazing to appreciate how ambitious developers were, even when the technology couldn’t quite keep up. We’ve picked out three classic games that might feel a little dated, but are still worth playing at least once.

The first issue of X-Vengers is quite enjoyable, and Dani is a standout character. In the past, Captain America died and, having faith in her, passed on his shield, making her the new leader of the Avengers. This is a significant moment for Moonstar, a well-loved but sometimes overlooked hero. Captain America choosing her as his successor feels like a natural and fitting development for the character.

It’s no surprise that Chainsaw Man: The Movie — Reze Arc is so popular with both viewers and critics. Many are calling one fight scene the best in the entire Chainsaw Man series, and even one of the best action sequences in anime history – and it’s hard to disagree.

So, which slasher film really stands out as the best? While Roger Ebert wasn’t a fan, Friday the 13th wasn’t the worst movie ever made. In reality, several films in the genre are actually quite good, and they were all strong candidates for the top spot.

Recently, Microsoft has openly discussed, and PlayStation has hinted at, a theory that apps like TikTok are the biggest threat to gaming. The concern is simply that these social networks take up so much of players’ time.

Premiering on Nickelodeon on October 29, 1994, Aaahh!!! Real Monsters presented a unique school where young monsters learned the art of scaring people. Before shows like Harry Potter and Monsters, Inc., there was Ickis, Krumm, and Oblina – a trio of supernatural students. They constantly competed with each other to create the most imaginative scares, hoping to impress their headmaster, The Gromble. Failing their assignments meant facing not only The Gromble’s harsh punishments, but also the terrifying consequences delivered by the silent giant, The Snorch.

Based on Emily St. John Mandel’s 2014 novel, the sci-fi miniseries Station Eleven debuted on HBO Max in December 2021, consisting of ten episodes. Critics loved it – Rotten Tomatoes reports a 98% approval rating, with reviewers praising its thoughtful and meaningful message about the enduring power of art and connection, even after a global catastrophe. If you haven’t seen Station Eleven yet, it’s definitely worth watching.

Interestingly, the game’s release date falls between the expected launches of Battlefield 6 and Call of Duty: Black Ops 7.

Looking at the overall design, it seems like a hand is actually growing out of the back of the Grinch’s head! His sneaky face is on the top, and the inside of the clog is covered in soft fuzz, making them super comfortable for, well, running around and stealing presents. A large, three-times-bigger heart connects the back of the shoe to the top. Honestly, they’re hilariously awful and a bit of a monstrosity. But if you’re brave enough to wear them, you’re probably wondering where to buy them!

I’m really enjoying Dispatch! It’s a cool mix of managing a team and following superhero stories, but what really grabbed me is how human the heroes feel. That’s what makes the game so interesting. Yes, the team management is fun, and it looks great, but it’s the way Dispatch tells its superhero story – focusing on the characters themselves – that sets it apart. It feels different from other games or shows that try to do the same thing.
