The last week of January was packed with exciting new developments in DC Comics! We saw four main series titles, plus several tie-ins to DC K.O., featuring major events like Batman and Wonder Woman venturing into hell and Static’s long-awaited return to the main DC Universe. Before moving on to February, let’s recap the highlights from this week’s releases so you don’t miss a thing.
In a recent interview with PlayStation Blog, director Koshi Nakanishi discussed the game’s central location, a sanatorium, and how the stories of the two playable characters will diverge. This is a common element in the series, but there’s a new twist: if one character defeats enemies in an area, those enemies will stay defeated for the other player as well.
I’m so excited! Digital Eclipse just announced that The Disney Afternoon Collection is coming to Nintendo Switch and the new Switch 2 next month, on February 26th! It’s awesome because it includes the original six games, but they’re also adding Goof Troop and Bonkers! Those two were actually SNES games, released back in ’93 and ’94, so they weren’t on the NES. Basically, if you already have it on PlayStation, Xbox, or PC, it’s the same collection, but now Switch fans get to enjoy Goof Troop and Bonkers too!
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the popular children’s franchise Thomas & Friends is being updated. Instead of starting with a new TV show, the reboot will focus on things like live events, new toys, and original stories. While the newly released picture shows Thomas still looks familiar – just with a fresh paint job – this update suggests we’ll likely see a lot more of the little blue engine in the future.
Fans are excited about the possible return of Dragon Ball Super with the Galactic Patrol Prisoner arc, which will pit Goku and Vegeta against their most powerful enemy yet. This also brings the anime closer to adapting the Granolah the Survivor arc. This new story introduces a formidable warrior considered the strongest in Universe 7 – and it’s revealed to be Frieza, who has been training to achieve a godly power level surpassing even Goku and Vegeta’s.
Even though I’m really excited about this new shooting game, I keep thinking about one of the oldest: Team Fortress 2. Despite all of Highguard’s good qualities, Team Fortress 2, which came out 19 years ago (making me feel old!), still captivates me in a way that’s hard to put into words. While the two games share a lot of similarities, there’s one key difference that solidifies Team Fortress 2‘s place as a timeless classic.
Let’s examine the main villains from the first eleven Marvel Cinematic Universe films to see which ones remained memorable and impactful, and which ones were forgotten. Because Loki appeared as the main villain in two of the first ten movies, we’re including his second appearance to analyze ten distinct villainous arcs. This ranking considers how much of an impression each villain made, how well their story fit into the overall MCU narrative, and how much they shaped the events leading up to the current, multiversal storyline.
Let’s consider a fun ‘what if’ scenario: what if Spider-Man’s villains faced off against Batman? We’ll look at seven of Spider-Man’s enemies who could potentially defeat the Dark Knight. Just to be clear, I’m a big Batman fan! This isn’t about declaring these villains would win, only that they possess the tools to possibly do so. Batman is incredibly skilled, but he’s still human. Spider-Man, on the other hand, has actual superpowers. While Batman could likely handle most of Spider-Man’s enemies, these seven present the biggest challenge and might even pull off an upset. Let’s explore how these villains, normally outside of Batman’s world, would fare.
While 2026 promises exciting games for Xbox Game Pass members – including a highly anticipated open-world RPG – January’s releases have been a bit disappointing, with Death Stranding being the standout title. To address this, two new games, ANNO: Mutationem and Drop Duchy, were added yesterday to the Ultimate and Premium tiers on both console and PC. However, many subscribers voiced their concerns in the comments, questioning whether the service is currently worth the cost.
Josef Fares, the director and lead developer of the game adaptation, recently shared a brief update, indicating that the project is currently in its initial stages of development.
