Hey everyone, just a heads-up! You can snag The Stone of Madness for free on the Epic Games Store right now until April 23rd at 11am ET. It’s normally $29.99, so it’s a pretty sweet deal. It came out in January 2025 and is made by The Game Kitchen. I’ve been checking it out, and it’s a really cool mix of stealth and strategy. You control five different characters, each with their own unique powers, which makes things interesting. Plus, the whole game has this awesome hand-painted look that really sets it apart on the Epic Store. Definitely worth grabbing if you’re looking for something a little different!

Spy Drops is an indie game currently out on Steam and Switch that doesn’t try to reinvent the genre. Instead, it deliberately recreates the experience of playing Hideo Kojima’s classic 32-bit game from 1998.

This update gives players more control over image sharpness when upscaling images. It also fixes some issues with frame generation. You can find a complete list of changes in the patch notes linked below.

In 1998, two strikingly similar disaster movies competed for the same audience. Just before Armageddon became a blockbuster, Deep Impact – a space-themed disaster film – was released and is now available to stream on Paramount+. The movie, with Steven Spielberg as an executive producer and a cast including Robert Duvall, Téa Leoni, Elijah Wood, and Morgan Freeman, tells the story of a dangerous attempt to destroy a massive comet on a collision course with Earth, one that could cause a global extinction event. It began streaming on Paramount+ on April 1st.

Michaela Jill Murphy is a voice actor who has worked on popular animated shows and movies like Naruto, Meet the Robinsons, Brother Bear, and Medalist. However, she’s probably best known for voicing Toph Beifong. Recently, footage from an upcoming movie featuring an adult Toph leaked online, and Murphy has asked fans to stop sharing or discussing it. She explained that respecting the creators, cast, and the art means waiting to watch the movie when it’s officially released. She asks fans to refrain from sharing, editing, or commenting on leaked material. You can watch a video of Murphy addressing the leak below.

Paramount announced a new Star Trek movie at CinemaCon, but didn’t offer any specifics about the project. This lack of detail has left fans feeling unimpressed. In a discussion on Reddit, many said they need more than just an announcement – they want to see real progress like a budget, cast, and script. One user commented they won’t get excited until there’s something substantial to share, and another said they’re waiting for a trailer before believing it will actually happen.

KeplerL2 points out that the YouTuber is misunderstanding how chip power increases translate to gaming performance. The YouTuber seems to think a chip ten times more powerful will triple the framerate – for example, getting 300 FPS in a game that currently runs at 30 FPS. This is like assuming a future PlayStation (PS6) would outperform today’s most powerful Nvidia graphics card (RTX 5090) simply because it’s a newer console and potentially more powerful.

The game weaves a captivating story around a strange mystery, challenging players with complex puzzles that can be solved in multiple ways. It doesn’t offer much guidance, pushing you to figure things out on your own as the challenges grow harder. Just like its unsettling atmosphere suggests, The Cosmic Abyss hides deeper secrets beneath its mysterious surface.

GungHo announced today that Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter will be released soon, sharing a new trailer with the news. Originally launched on PC in 2006 as The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky SC, the game came to PSP in 2007 and was later available on PS3 and PS Vita. While popular in Japan, it wasn’t widely released in other regions until 2015, meaning it’s often missed when people talk about the best RPGs on the PSP.

The movie centers around Ulysses, played by Odenkirk, who takes on the role of interim Sheriff in the seemingly idyllic town of Normal, Minnesota, after the previous Sheriff’s death. While the town initially appears charming and quaint, Ulysses soon discovers a darker side beneath the surface. The previous Sheriff didn’t die of natural causes, and Ulysses quickly finds himself in danger, including being targeted by Mary-Beth, a seemingly harmless elderly woman known as “Knitting Needle,” who has been tasked with eliminating him. You can see a clip of the action below.
