Games

Square Enix stands out because they’re willing to try new things creatively, even with their established and popular game series. Some of these series are incredibly well-known, while others have a dedicated, smaller fanbase and continue to influence game creators today. These franchises are fundamental to how modern role-playing games are designed, impacting everything from small independent projects to big-budget titles. While Square Enix has also released some excellent standalone games that didn’t get sequels, the following represent the very best of their core franchises.

Surprisingly, Primate received positive reviews. And to finish the month strong, Sam Raimi is back with the horror film Send Help, which looks very entertaining. However, Send Help might overshadow the month’s standout horror movie, 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple. This raises a question about what’s next for the 28 Years Later franchise.

Before we begin, let’s define what makes a supervillain. Batman originally fought ordinary criminals, but they don’t quite fit the ‘super’ category, so we’ll focus on those with more elaborate schemes. It can be hard to draw the line, but we’re considering anyone with a defining theme – something beyond simple crime, like using advanced technology or building an identity around a specific concept. While a costume isn’t essential, it often adds to the effect. Now that we have a definition, let’s look at Batman’s first ten supervillains.

No matter who wins the fight between Dabura and Mahoraga, Yuka is almost certain to die unless someone intervenes. She’s already very ill, confined to a wheelchair, and losing her vision. With only three months left to live, Yuka has accepted her fate and is willing to sacrifice herself for the sake of the jujutsu world. Surprisingly, the other sorcerers seem to have come to terms with her death and haven’t tried to save her.

The horror film M3gan 2.0 didn’t fare as well as its predecessor. While the first M3gan was a huge success, earning $181 million worldwide, the sequel only brought in $39 million despite costing between $15 and $25 million to make. After a brief and unsuccessful run in theaters, M3gan 2.0 initially streamed on Peacock, but it was unexpectedly removed on January 26th and is now available exclusively on Netflix. The film features the rebuilt AI doll battling a human-like military robot named AMELIA.

Here are 10 Spider-Man characters we want to see Sony share with Marvel in the future.

The new Funko Pop for Hololive Vtuber Mori Calliope is incredibly cute! Calliope is known for her rapping and her design as the Grim Reaper’s apprentice, and the Pop perfectly captures her look. I especially love the pink eyes and the inclusion of her signature scythe – it wouldn’t be complete without it! All of Calliope’s fans – affectionately known as ‘Dead Beats’ – should definitely grab this for their collections.

In a recent interview with the Los Angeles Times, Sophie Turner discussed how much effort she put into preparing for the show. She explained that her portrayal of the character will focus on her inner life and motivations, rather than just her attractiveness, which is a common focus in the games and films. Turner wants to highlight the character’s strength and confidence, stating, ‘It’s about her and her story and what drives her.’ She emphasized that this character is ‘so unashamedly capable’ and doesn’t shy away from showcasing her abilities.

The anime That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime will return on April 3rd in Japan. Previously announced for an April release, the latest update confirms the specific date. This upcoming season is set to be the longest one yet, following the release of a new movie in Japan this February, making it a highly anticipated event for fans.

With Marvel Comics having such a rich and complex history, fans naturally compare the characters they see in the movies to those from the comics. It’s often surprising to see how much the movie versions change their comic book origins. These changes can be small, like a difference in personality, or major, completely rewriting a character’s background, abilities, and core identity.
