Given the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s tendency to include nods to other films and TV shows, it’s not surprising that the new Disney+ series Wonder Man does the same. The show centers around Simon Williams, an actor trying to make it in Hollywood, so incorporating these references felt natural. However, closely examining the real-world franchises mentioned in Wonder Man actually creates a significant inconsistency in the plot.

Competitive online games like Fortnite, Fall Guys, or Marvel Rivals can be a great way to connect with others. However, the pressure to win or maintain a good reputation can sometimes ruin the fun, making cooperative games a better option for everyone. Before suggesting the latest competitive shooter to your friends, think about playing games that focus on teamwork and achieving common goals instead.

Released near the end of the NES’s lifespan—the same year as the Super Nintendo—Metal Storm didn’t reach a large audience, which is a shame because it’s a really enjoyable game. This action-platformer is unique for its gravity-reversing mechanic, used to overcome obstacles throughout the levels. Despite receiving positive reviews, Metal Storm wasn’t commercially successful, probably because of its late release. However, it’s found a new fanbase among retro gaming fans and was re-released in 2019 by Retro Bit, giving players a chance to experience it today.

In a recent interview with Game Informer, creative director Mikael Kasurinen explained that the open-world version of Manhattan in the game is packed with secrets, optional stories, and different ways to play—all content that feels purposeful. He also emphasized that the game will continue to be an action RPG with a focus on character progression and impactful decisions, allowing players to create unique character builds.

The development team announced on Twitter that they’re releasing an update tomorrow based on player feedback. This update will include popular requests like adjustable field of view settings for consoles, options to toggle aim-down-sights and crouching, and more graphics settings for PC players. They’ll share a full list of changes once the update is available.

According to Kasurinen, what will really set their game apart is how players move around – despite the intense action and strange worlds, including a frightening version of Manhattan after the Hiss escaped from the Oldest House.

I’m really excited about the first reactions to Wonder Man! Critics are loving it, giving it almost a perfect score on Rotten Tomatoes. But it’s also got people talking – in a good way! A lot of us are trying to piece together exactly where this fits into the larger MCU timeline, especially with those flashback scenes. And honestly, everyone’s buzzing about Wonder Man’s powers. What can Simon Williams actually do? It’s a great mystery!

The biggest draw of Star Trek: Starfleet Academy is watching a new generation of characters discover the meaning of Starfleet’s values and history, especially when those ideals have almost been forgotten. Interestingly, this show has been in development for years! As you’ll see below, Starfleet Academy has a surprisingly complex and winding backstory – one of the longest of any Star Trek TV series.

Yahya Abdul-Mateen II plays Simon Williams, an actor with superpowers who is struggling and determined to become known as “Wonder Man.” The first season is cleverly self-aware, as it tells the story of a man with powers trying out for a superhero part. Despite receiving almost perfect reviews on Rotten Tomatoes, the question remains: will Wonder Man get a second season?

A group of lawmakers has written a letter expressing strong concerns about the potential purchase of Electronic Arts (EA) by Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF), along with Silver Lake and Affinity Partners. They are worried about the deal’s impact on American workers, competition in the job market, and the future of the U.S. video game industry, and are asking for a careful review of the proposed acquisition. They are committed to protecting fair competition and American jobs.
