I was totally cracking up at what Among Us did on social media! They basically put out a plea for a second season, posting, “I hope someone picks us up for a season two!” It’s only been a few weeks since the first season dropped, so it’s hard to say if Paramount+ will renew it. But honestly, we’ve seen other shows get saved by streaming services like Netflix, Hulu, or Amazon Prime Video, so there’s still hope! It’s a total mystery where the next chapter of Among Us will land, or even if it will, but I’m keeping my fingers crossed!

I was really excited to see that Biolab Wars is now available on PlayStation! It originally came out in 2019, but it only hit the PlayStation Store in 2022. It’s a classic 2D platformer, and while it didn’t get a lot of attention from critics (it doesn’t have a Metacritic score), players seem to really like it. It’s got an 89% approval rating on Steam after over 100 reviews, and even better, it’s averaging a 4 out of 5 star rating on the PlayStation Store with over 300 reviews! It’s not a huge, AAA title, but it’s well-regarded and now it’s basically free – definitely worth checking out if you’re a fan of old-school platformers.

This week, EA announced that it will be taking down GRID Legends from the PlayStation and Xbox stores. Released in February 2022, Legends is the newest racing game in the popular GRID series created by Codemasters. When it first launched, the game received generally positive, though not outstanding, reviews, averaging a score of 76 out of 100 on Metacritic.

In Japan, the manga currently has 11 volumes available, but English readers can only access the first seven. Because of the time it takes to license and translate each volume, English releases are slower. As fans anticipate the upcoming anime, a new design for the main character, Chihiro Rokuhira, has been revealed in a short, 20-second trailer. Voice actor Taihi Kimura, who previously played Fuji III in Nippon Sangoku: The Three Nations of the Crimson Sun, will be voicing Chihiro.

A new PlayStation 5 exclusive game called Bancho the Chef promises to really showcase the DualSense controller’s features. First shown off at the June State of Play event, it’s also coming to PC. Recently, the developers at Mintrocket explained how this unique combination of adventure and cooking simulation will utilize the controller in impressive ways – more games, especially those involving activities like cooking or fishing, should take similar approaches! It’s easy to see why they chose that event to first reveal the game.

An internal report suggests the military shooter failed to meet internal goals because of overly ambitious deadlines and ineffective planning. Project leaders also haven’t been receptive to feedback, despite Ubisoft emphasizing the game’s importance. While Ubisoft praised the game’s core foundation, an insider indicated that such positive messaging often signals significant problems within the development process.

Similar to the first game, FOLLOW quickly brings us back to Anne, who is now grown up and more mature. She’s dealt with the bullying she experienced and is now more confident and able to stand up for herself. This is a good way to continue the story from the first game while also hinting at darker things to come.

Many Marvel fans agree that some heroes are currently falling short. But it’s not too late to improve things – these characters aren’t beyond saving! Here are seven Marvel heroes with issues that could be addressed and fixed.

As a big Marvel fan, I think the trouble with the Blade reboot really highlights where things have gone wrong for Marvel Studios after Endgame. It felt like this one should’ve been a slam dunk – introducing a cool, established character! Instead, it’s become this long, frustrating saga of delays and problems. Honestly, ever since they announced the release date and started filming, it feels like the whole project is stuck in development hell, and I’m starting to worry we might not even see Blade join the main MCU lineup.
