Games

These seven films are definitely worth a watch, but they’re not the kind you’ll want to re-watch.

Masato Kumazawa, the producer of Resident Evil Requiem, recently told Well Played that familiar faces from past games will make appearances. However, he cautioned fans not to assume these will be major roles. Grace will remain the central character in Requiem, even with these guest appearances.

I’m really excited about the new anime project, Fist of the North Star: Requiem For The Fist King Army’s Weapons. It’s taking a unique approach by bringing together many of the most memorable villains from the Fist of the North Star series. The story follows a new character, Knob, who’s voiced by Hiro Shimono. He’s basically a guy looking for a job, but he wants to join the very group of villains that Kenshiro fought in the original series! It’ll be interesting to see if he can survive being one of them. The series is set to premiere on January 5th.

Harald’s quest to improve Elbaph led him to cross paths with Rocks D. Xebec, a famously powerful pirate. The story then briefly focuses on Xebec and his crew, revealing the full story behind the God Valley Incident. As more of the past is uncovered, One Piece is set to show the official character design of Rocks D. Xebec, bringing a long-held fan theory back into the spotlight.

Bill Litshauer, the company’s leader, says their main priority right now is making PlayStation 2 support better. However, in a conversation with Mystic, he also mentioned that emulating PlayStation 3 games is likely possible down the line – maybe on the PlayStation 5, and definitely on the PlayStation 6.

When Landman first came out a year ago, it didn’t generate as much excitement as some of Sheridan’s other shows. To be honest, it launched at a tough time – Yellowstone‘s final episodes were the biggest thing on TV, and that overshadowed Landman‘s debut as a streaming series on Paramount+. Now, a year later, with Yellowstone finished, Landman is perfectly positioned to take its place as the go-to show about big business in Texas, much like Yellowstone was for ranching in Montana.

I just finished binging all eight seasons of Homeland now that it’s landed on Netflix, and wow! This Showtime thriller, which originally ran from 2011 to 2020, really lived up to the hype. It was a critical favorite for years, racking up Emmy nominations, and it’s got a seriously devoted following. If you haven’t checked it out yet, now’s the perfect time – the complete story of Carrie Matheson, the complex CIA operative, is available to stream on Netflix in the US and several other countries.

Running from 2006 to 2011, Torchwood followed Jack Harkness and his team as they investigated alien threats and strange objects appearing in Cardiff through a tear in space and time—a place the Doctor sometimes visits. The show was a hit with adult and teen viewers, offering more complex and realistic storylines than Doctor Who. Although ratings decreased over time and recent accusations against John Barrowman have impacted its reputation, Torchwood still boasts some of the most compelling stories in the Doctor Who universe and deserves to be remembered.

After the huge success of The Avengers in 2012 demonstrated the potential of large, connected movie franchises, Hollywood studios started trying to replicate that model. While many attempted to create their own cinematic universes, most haven’t succeeded. So far, only The Conjuring franchise has come close to achieving the same level of success as the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

I’ll never forget the late ’90s – it felt like everything was changing, especially in gaming. We were all getting used to 3D worlds and new ways of looking at games, and for me, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time really defined that shift. It wasn’t just a good game; it felt like it completely nailed the move to 3D. It was a magical experience, and honestly, it’s when gaming truly became something special and unforgettable for me.
