Netflix announced in its January newsletter that a lot of movies and shows will be leaving the service on January 1st. That means December 31st is your last chance to watch them! Many subscribers might be surprised by how many titles are going away, particularly since a lot of them are fan favorites.
Man, I really remember those dedicated save points in old RPGs. Before games just auto-saved everything, you had to find specific spots – crystals, inns, whatever – to record your progress. It was such a rush! If I was deep in a dungeon, low on health, I’d be seriously hoping to stumble across one. I even remember desperately searching for a save point before I had to go to bed! Those points totally changed how you played – you explored more carefully, fought strategically, and really planned things out. Now, with auto-saving and quick saves, all that tension and careful planning is just…gone. It’s convenient, sure, but I kinda miss it.
The new trailer features a complete song from the game, “Under the Lights,” performed by the character Cadence. Heather Gonzales portrays Cadence in the game, while LEXXE provides the singing voice.
As a gamer, it’s seriously cool to hear about stuff like this! Frank Cifaldi from the Video Game History Foundation explained that the very first Xcavator prototype is a rare look into what it was like for a small, independent developer trying to get a game onto consoles back in the 8-bit days. Apparently, the game was way ahead of its time in 1991, and nobody really got it then. But thankfully, the developer, Oberth, saved his work, and his family made sure it ended up with people who could preserve it. Now, in 2026, we’re finally going to get to play it! It’s a really important piece of gaming history, and it’s awesome that everyone involved is helping to share it with the world.
It’s always a challenge to create a sequel or remake that lives up to the original. Capturing the same magic and improving on a beloved game isn’t easy. There are some games, though, that practically demand a follow-up. We’re going to focus on those titles – the ones players are really hoping to see continued. Unfortunately, due to issues like company decisions or projects being cancelled, these potential sequels remain elusive.
Even though some isekai stories are criticized for following predictable patterns, the most successful ones use their imaginative worlds to explore genuine human experiences like personal growth, ethics, and finding meaning in life. When well-executed, isekai can be incredibly captivating and immersive.
The Anniversary Edition aimed to improve the game with better graphics and quicker loading. It also added support for mouse and motion controls using the Joy-Con, and included all previously released downloadable content. However, many players have reported that the update actually makes the game feel slow and clunky. Delayed reactions make fighting difficult, and the game still runs at a limited 30 frames per second, resulting in stiff and unnatural movements. Frequent crashes disrupt gameplay, often at inconvenient times. Adding to these issues, the game requires a massive 53 gigabytes of storage space, which is a significant download size, especially for those playing on the go.
With recent news about games like Silent Hill f and the Silent Hill 2 remake giving fans hope, it’s easy to forget some of the franchise’s lesser-known titles. However, one game, Silent Hill: Shattered Memories, really captured what made Silent Hill special. Despite not getting enough attention, it remains one of the most thought-provoking and engaging games in the series.
Keanu Reeves, who highly praised Paul Dano as both an actor and a person, is a reliable source when discussing his performance. Dano truly brought a chilling and memorable version of The Riddler to life in The Batman. What many viewers might not realize is that Dano didn’t just play the villain on screen – he also developed The Riddler’s backstory through a surprisingly well-written comic book. It’s definitely worth checking out if you haven’t already.
I recently played this cool little game by Luckshot Games, and it’s seriously charming! You play as a young frog who gets unexpectedly taken from his home and dropped somewhere totally new. The whole game is basically about helping him find his way back – it’s a really fun adventure!
