The PlayStation 5 exclusive shooter has received almost universal acclaim, with overwhelmingly positive reviews appearing across the board.

The classic game R-Type is returning on April 30, 2026, after being unavailable for years. We first mentioned its comeback back in September 2025, but a release date wasn’t known then. Now, we have an update: R-Type DX: Music Encore is coming to modern gaming systems. This isn’t just a simple re-release of the 1999 Game Boy Color game R-Type DX; it features plenty of new content alongside the original, making it a worthwhile experience. The game is being developed and published by City Connection.

Wolverine hasn’t fought all of Marvel’s villains yet, but he could definitely defeat a few of the most iconic ones. Despite their reputations, he’d be a strong match for these seven top-tier Marvel baddies, proving why he’s considered the best at what he does.

While the movie Blues Brothers 2000 isn’t a masterpiece, the video game based on it is significantly worse. Released two years after the film – a red flag in itself – the game simply wasn’t very good and shouldn’t have been released. It barely resembles the movie and isn’t enjoyable to play. It’s a short, dull platformer with unimpressive graphics that feels like a cheap copy of other, better 3D platformers already available, leaving players regretting their purchase.

If you want to watch The Rugrats Movie on Tubi, you’ll need to do it soon! This animated film, originally released in 1998, brought the popular ‘90s TV show about Tommy Pickles and his friends to the big screen. It was a huge hit, earning $140 million worldwide and becoming the first non-Disney animated movie to make over $100 million domestically. The Rugrats Movie arrived on Tubi on April 1st, but it’s already been announced that it will be leaving the platform soon, although a specific date hasn’t been given.

The popular franchise My Little Pony began captivating fans with its toys in 1982. After numerous TV shows and movies, the characters now have their own Trading Card Game (TCG). My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic is a new TCG created in partnership between Kayou and Hasbro. It was first released in China in April 2025, and will become available to U.S. fans on May 1st. Look for the beautifully designed cards at major stores like GameStop and Barnes & Noble.

In Season 5 of The Boys, the new superhero character, The Worm, acts as a mouthpiece for the show’s writers’ anxieties. He previously alluded to difficult series finales, even mentioning the controversial ending of Lost. Now, a conversation at Vought Tower brings up the poorly received finale of the in-universe show Lamplighter: Light of Justice, which The Worm wrote and received a D- grade from The A.V. Club. While he attempts to defend his work, it comes across as showrunner Eric Kripke directly addressing the audience’s potential concerns.

I finally got around to checking out Valkyria Chronicles III, or Senjō no Varukyuria 3: Unrecorded Chronicles as it was originally called. It came out back in 2011 for the PSP and plays a lot like the first two games, which I loved. The story takes place at the same time as the original Valkyria Chronicles, but it follows a totally different squad – a black-ops unit made up of soldiers who’ve messed up, fighting for Gallia during the war. It was a big hit in Japan and even got an anime and manga, but it never officially made its way over here. Luckily, Valkyria Chronicles 4 did come to the States, and some amazing fans actually translated VC3 into English if you managed to snag the Japanese version. It was a lot of work, but totally worth it to experience the full story!

Just so you know, all three Steam games are completely free to download and keep – you don’t need a subscription or have a limited time to play. These aren’t trial versions or demos; they’re the full games. While they might not be the newest releases, any recent game on Steam usually requires a purchase.

When the new Joe and Anthony Russo film was announced, many fans were doubtful, especially given the complicated nature of the Multiverse Saga. The news that Chris Evans would reprise his role as Steve Rogers didn’t fully ease concerns that the movie might negatively impact the satisfying conclusion of Avengers: Endgame. However, the trailer shown at CinemaCon for Avengers: Doomsday seemed to change opinions. Robert Downey Jr.’s return isn’t about bringing Iron Man back from the dead; he’s playing a different character – Doctor Doom. But a recent announcement from Marvel Studios now makes it possible for Stark to reappear in the MCU in some form.
