I was super excited to hear that Revolution Software is remastering *Broken Sword 2: The Smoking Mirror*! It’s one of my all-time favorite point-and-click adventure games. I originally played it on PC, and it was amazing. They also brought it to the PlayStation 1 back in ’97 (or ’99 if you’re in the US), and that was the only time it ever appeared on a console, which is kinda cool!
I’m so excited that all seven seasons of *Nurse Jackie* are now on Netflix! It was getting hard to find after being available only for purchase, and with talk of a revival, it’s a perfect time to rewatch or discover this amazing show. It follows Jackie Peyton, a seriously flawed but brilliant emergency room nurse in New York City, who definitely bends the rules – and has a secret. Created by Liz Brixius, Linda Wallem, and Evan Dunsky, it originally aired on Showtime for 80 episodes and was a huge hit – it racked up five Emmy wins and consistently got great reviews, with critics giving it an 81% score and audiences loving it even more at 88% on Rotten Tomatoes. I can’t wait for everyone to binge it!
Though the DC movies, particularly those centered around the Justice League and Suicide Squad, often get the blame, the Arrowverse also deserves attention. Even though The CW’s shows have been off the air for a while, many fans continue to rewatch them on streaming platforms. One series, in particular, will be difficult for James Gunn and his team to overshadow, as it revolutionized the superhero landscape eleven years ago today.
I’ve been checking out what’s new on Netflix, and let me tell you, there are some real gems this month! Some are brand new to the platform, others were quietly waiting to be discovered, and a bunch of my favorites are returning with fresh episodes. It’s the perfect time to start watching – or catch up – and get completely hooked, because you won’t want to miss what happens next!
The thriller *A Walk Among the Tombstones*, starring Liam Neeson, came out in 2014 and is still considered one of his strongest films in the neo-noir genre. Good news for fans: it’s now available to stream on Prime Video as of October 1st.
This list only includes movies that are genuinely horror films, so you won’t find comedies with horror elements like *Grown Ups 2*. Some scary movies that narrowly missed making the cut were *Plan 9 from Outer Space*, *Terrifier 2*, *Terrifier 3* (featuring Chris Jericho), and M. Night Shyamalan’s *Knock at the Cabin* (with Dave Bautista).
The one-year anniversary livestream for *Metaphor: ReFantazio* is happening on October 10th at 9 PM Pacific Time (12 AM Eastern Time on October 11th). Atlus announced the event on X (formerly Twitter), and fans are excited to speculate about what big news might be revealed. Given Atlus’s history, there are some interesting theories and a lot of anticipation.
While challenges remained, particularly with key franchises like Halo, the Xbox platform was generally moving in a positive direction. Although Xbox trailed behind PlayStation, it was pursuing a different approach to competition – one that went beyond simply offering a similar console with appealing games. Instead of just repackaging the same ideas, Xbox aimed to innovate and offer something truly distinct. By 2020, the Xbox Series X|S consoles and the Game Pass subscription service were considered central to Xbox’s future, but recent months have brought more difficulties.
Evolution Studios was founded in 1999 by Martin Kenwright and Ian Hetherington. They left their previous company, Digital Image Design, after it was acquired by Infogrames. The new studio, located in Frodsham, Cheshire, England, quickly started developing a racing game demo focused on rally cars.
With 2025 coming to a close, anime fans are already looking forward to a great year in 2026! Four manga from *Shonen Jump* are confirmed to be adapted into anime, and three of them will premiere next year. These series already have strong followings and could become some of the most popular new anime stories.
