According to Seamus Blackley, a co-creator of the original Xbox, the recent changes in Microsoft’s Xbox leadership are a direct result of the company’s strong focus on artificial intelligence.
Amazon announced this week that it will shut down the cooperative platformer King of Meat in just over a month. The game, developed by Glowmade and released in October 2025, allowed players to build and share their own levels. While players who tried King of Meat generally enjoyed it, it didn’t attract a large enough audience. As a result, Amazon will end support for the game in early April and will provide refunds to purchasers.
Steam Next Fest is a lot of fun, but with so many demos, streams, and announcements, it can be hard to know where to start. While checking the trending charts is helpful, you might miss some great games that aren’t getting as much attention.

The hugely successful Mission: Impossible franchise began with the original television series created by Bruce Geller for CBS in 1966. The show ran for seven seasons, until 1973, and stood out from typical procedural dramas by focusing on the details of the heists themselves, rather than the agents carrying them out. Led by the calm and collected Jim Phelps (played by Peter Graves), the Impossible Missions Force operated like a precision instrument, using disguises, advanced technology, and clever psychological tactics to defeat dictators and criminal organizations. The show’s distinctive Cold War style—complete with Lalo Schifrin’s famous theme music in 5/4 time and self-destructing tapes—helped it become a pop culture icon. While there was a later attempt to revive the series, it wasn’t very successful and has largely been forgotten. This 1988 sequel, which continued the story from the original 1960s show, struggled to capture the same magic and ended after two seasons on February 24, 1990 – 36 years ago.

The second season of Buffy the Vampire Slayer is when the show really hit its stride, largely thanks to the dramatic change in the character of Angel, who became the villainous Angelus. He’s considered one of the show’s best villains, and the latter part of the season focuses on his cruel manipulation of Buffy. This culminates in Episode 17, “Passion,” where his psychological torment of her reaches a devastating peak with the shocking death of Jenny Calendar.
2025 had a surprising number of excellent, but overlooked, RPGs – so many that it’s easy to have missed some. Luckily, one of those games is gaining popularity again, and I think it deserves the attention. That’s why I highly recommend Avowed, the fantasy RPG from Obsidian Entertainment, to everyone. Especially since 2026 hasn’t offered many strong RPGs yet, it’s a great time to appreciate everything Avowed does well.
