So, I’ve been playing Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds – it came out on September 25th for pretty much everything: PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PS4, Xbox One, Switch, and even PC through Steam and the Epic Games Store. And get this – it’s already sold over a million copies! That’s awesome to hear, and it’s a really fun racer.
When a player criticized the maps as being small, lacking good views, and too straightforward, Sirland pointed out that not all maps are like that. He explained that Battlefield games feature a variety of map designs. However, he did admit that some of the criticism directed at the recently released Blackwell Fields map from Season 1 is justified.
The second season of Percy Jackson and the Olympians will be based on the second book, The Sea of Monsters. Several new actors will join the cast, including Andra Day as Athena, Daniel Diemer as Tyson the cyclops, and Tamara Smart as Thalia Grace. Sandra Bernhard, Kristen Schaal, and Margaret Cho will play the Gray Sisters. Sadly, following the passing of Lance Reddick, Courtney B. Vance will now play the role of Zeus.
With the release of Doomsday nearing, it’s becoming apparent that the film will significantly shape the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. This has sparked rumors about potential character deaths in Avengers: Doomsday, with several established heroes considered at risk in the 2026 film. However, some characters seem protected from this fate, as ending their storylines now would feel pointless and rely solely on shocking the audience.
The manga series Baki The Grappler is known for featuring real-life people as characters. Throughout the story, Yujiro Hanma, Baki’s father, has met numerous famous figures, including Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, and George W. Bush. Recently, he had a contentious meeting with President Donald Trump and Elon Musk. According to artist Yuki, these appearances aren’t random; they’re used to emphasize Yujiro’s incredible power and to reinforce the idea that Itagaki, the creator, views the world of Baki as very real. We can expect to see even more real-world personalities show up in future installments.
The game was originally released on the PS3 and was generally liked. It let players experience the story from two different perspectives – playing as either the ‘good’ or ‘evil’ side – and had a solid selection of characters to choose from.
Here is an overview of the game, via its Steam page:
It’s a bit ironic, but the decision to postpone the game was made just a few hours before it was announced. Director RJ Lake explained he was writing the announcement immediately after the meeting where the delay was decided. The reason for the delay, which he described as “very boring and frustrating,” was a critical technical issue discovered the night before that made releasing the game impossible.
As a huge fan of The Emperor’s New Groove, I’m thrilled to share that it’s coming to 4K Blu-ray on December 9th! You can already pre-order it on Amazon and Walmart – keep an eye out for potential price drops, as pre-orders will automatically reflect any discounts. It’ll also be available digitally on platforms like Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, and Fandango at Home on the same day. But here’s the really exciting news: if you’re a superfan like me, you can actually see it on the big screen! It’s playing at the El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood from November 21st to 24th – the very same theater where it premiered back in 2000!
