Games

I think several things are contributing to this, but it seems like the game is really trying to attract Call of Duty players by focusing on short, fast-paced content. The core game includes several modes designed for infantry combat on smaller maps. For example, the map ‘Saints Quarters’ is only accessible through these smaller game modes, and many players might not even realize it exists because it’s not featured in the main playlists.

Okay, so this new Lord of the Rings game sounds promising! Hogwarts Legacy really nailed the whole ‘stay true to the source material but also be a great game’ thing, and that’s what this new LOTR game needs to aim for. We’ve had some amazing Lord of the Rings games before, and to get back to that level, the developers need to learn from what didn’t work recently. I’m hoping they really deliver on the potential and give us the epic Middle-earth experience we all want!

While there aren’t any confirmed release dates yet, several Star Trek movies are currently being developed. Zachary Quinto, who played Spock in the recent films, is pushing for Star Trek 4 to finally happen. Paramount is considering different options for the future of the franchise, and they should revisit an old idea: a Star Trek movie script written by Mark L. Smith and previously developed by Quentin Tarantino. This script could be a great way to revitalize the series.

During the 2020 COVID-19 lockdowns, when movie theaters were closed, many studios sold films to Netflix. They needed money, and Netflix wanted to attract viewers. One of those films was The Mitchells vs. The Machines, an animated movie from Sony Pictures Animation created by the producers of Spider-Verse, Phil Lord and Christopher Miller. Now, Netflix and Sony have announced that a sequel is coming six years later.

This week, HBO Max added two recent films from A24, both featuring Pedro Pascal. They are Celine Song’s romantic comedy, The Materialists, and Ari Aster’s political thriller, Eddington, which blends neo-Western and suspenseful elements.

Before Lewis Pullman became known for his role as Bob Reynolds/Sentry/Void in Thunderbolts – a role he’ll be revisiting in the next Avengers: Doomsday film – he starred in a little-seen science fiction romance called Press Play. This movie, about a couple whose love for music defines their relationship, features Pullman as Harrison and Clara Rugaard as Laura. After a tragedy, Laura finds a way to revisit the past through their shared mixtape. Directed by Greg Björkman’s first feature film, Press Play currently has a 67% rating from critics and a 62% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, but it will no longer be available on Hulu after October 16th, and will only be available for rent or purchase.

Although Scarlet won’t be widely available in English until early 2026, it will be screened at film festivals in late 2025 to qualify for awards. For those lucky enough to see it early, Scarlet is clearly another beautiful film from director Mamoru Hosoda, though the story isn’t always as strong as the visuals.

The second season of Gen V ends with a final, intense showdown between the students – Sam, Emma, Cate, Jordan, Marie, and Annabeth – and the people at Godolkin. Their risky plan might actually work, but not without potentially devastating consequences.

Here are four cult classic games that should get a sequel as soon as possible.

While many heroes in DC and Marvel comics eventually return from the dead, some have remained gone for much longer – years, even decades – and don’t seem to be coming back anytime soon.
