As a huge fan, I truly believe Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale were a perfect creative partnership, and their Batman stories prove it. Their series really built on the amazing foundation they laid with The Long Halloween, finally showing us what Catwoman was up to in Italy – specifically, her search to find out if Carmine Falcone was actually her father. The story runs alongside the second half of Dark Victory, all happening within just one incredibly packed week. It’s full of action, mystery, and honestly, the character work is just phenomenal. Loeb always understood Selina Kyle so well, and this story showcases that talent beautifully, with a classic crime and mystery feel.

Set in 2149, the series Terra Nova takes place on a future Earth ravaged by overdevelopment and pollution. Facing the planet’s inevitable decline, scientists discover a way to open a portal through time and space, leading to prehistoric Earth. This offers humanity a final opportunity to start over. The Shannon family travels through the portal to Terra Nova, hoping to build a sustainable life, but they soon realize some members of the expedition have hidden agendas that threaten the mission to save humanity.

I remember when Genshin Impact got huge during the pandemic – it really changed things! Suddenly, a bunch of console games started popping up trying to be just like it. They all went with the free-to-play model, which is cool, but then they added those frustrating systems where you basically gamble to get characters, and honestly, keeping track of all the different in-game currencies felt like a full-time job!

Performance Mode doesn’t look quite as detailed, but that’s intentional – it focuses on running the game at a consistent 60 frames per second. To achieve this, the resolution adjusts automatically. We’ll need to test it to see how much the image quality decreases during complex, action-packed moments.

Good news for anyone hyped for the game – you can now pre-load it on Xbox Series X/S and PC! Just a heads-up, it’s a big download – around 130-135GB on Xbox and a whopping 160GB on PC (and seriously, make sure you have an SSD for PC, you’ll need it – check the full specs here). And if that wasn’t enough to get you excited, Playground Games also just revealed all the radio stations we’ll be listening to while cruising around Japan!

According to reliable leaker Dusk Golem, a remake of Resident Evil: Code Veronica is very likely to be announced next month at Summer Game Fest. This event, hosted by Geoff Keighley, starts on June 5th and will showcase upcoming games. While Dusk Golem isn’t completely sure, they believe Summer Game Fest is the most probable place for this announcement to happen.

Is it worth the price? Let’s explore what this popular character is capable of to help you decide.

Honestly, watching the season finale of Maul – Shadow Lord, what really stuck with me was how silent Darth Vader was. It wasn’t the Vader we’re used to with all the witty lines. He just appeared – like a ghost rising from the mist on Janix – and it even seemed like he was holding back the sound of his breathing to stay hidden. It was genuinely the most terrifying version of Vader I’ve ever seen – a pure, unstoppable power that just crushed everyone in his path. It made me wonder, though… why didn’t he say a single word?

The game’s recent update is a major reason for its improved success. The April update introduced cross-platform play, which allows players on different systems to play together, as well as VRR (Variable Refresh Rate) support for smoother gameplay. It also added two-on-two combat in supported games and the option to choose stages in online matches. While the stage selection and two-on-two modes are welcome additions, cross-platform play and VRR are particularly significant. Many similar games already offer cross-platform play – Mortal Kombat 1 didn’t have it at launch and suffered because of it. Without it, it’s difficult to play with friends and find matches quickly.

YouTuber xJ0nathon recently shared that initial tests, conducted on April 30th, 2026, were very poor. While the release is currently planned for later this year, he believes there’s a strong possibility it will be delayed or scrapped altogether.
