Absolute Green Lantern is a particularly impressive addition to the Absolute series. It presents a fresh take on the Emotional Spectrum, portraying different levels of light as stages of understanding – with black representing the most basic level and gold symbolizing the highest. Beyond crafting a large-scale, horror-infused space opera centered around Sojourner Mullein, the comic has been subtly preparing for the return of the New Guardians. With issue #11, the team is nearly ready to make their debut, and all the necessary groundwork has been established.

I’m so excited to finally see Fear Effect 2: Retro Helix come to new platforms! It originally came out for PlayStation way back in February 2001, developed by Kronos Digital Entertainment, and this is the first time they’ve brought it to anything else. I’ve been waiting a long time for this!

The huge success of Embark’s 2025 dystopian shooter has secured the company’s future, providing both financial security and long-term stability, according to CEO Patrick Söderlund in an interview with IGN. Gamers are clearly captivated by the game’s addictive gameplay.

A recent announcement about Yellowjackets Season 4 may have revealed a major plot point. Nia Sondaya, who plays Akila, has been promoted to a series regular, and this has led fans to believe her character survived the events of the Season 3 finale. While it was previously unclear whether Akila lived or died, this casting news suggests she will be returning, though her fate remains officially unconfirmed.

It’s easy to overlook the improved graphics on the Switch 2 when comparing games like Mario Kart World and Donkey Kong Bananza to their previous versions. Mario Kart World already looked good next to Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, and I noticed some extra details – like better hairstyles and fur – in the Switch 2 version of Animal Crossing: New Horizons. However, the differences aren’t immediately obvious unless you compare the games directly. But after playing Mario Tennis Fever, I think this is the first game that really shows off the Switch 2’s capabilities compared to older titles in the series.

More episodes of the animated kids’ show Batwheels are now available on HBO Max! Season 3B premiered on February 6th with five new episodes, bringing the total number of Season 3 episodes to nine. While we don’t know how many episodes Season 3 will have in total or when the next batch will arrive, Batwheels usually has a lot of episodes per season—both Season 1 and Season 2 each had 37! You can stream all episodes of Batwheels on HBO Max.

As a huge fan of both LEGO and Andy Weir’s Project Hail Mary, I was so excited to hear they’re releasing a collectible LEGO set! You can actually pre-order it on Amazon right now, though you won’t get it until March 20, 2026. It’s a really impressive set with 830 pieces – definitely not a toy for kids! This is part of the LEGO Icons line, meaning it’s designed as a cool display piece for adults. And get this – it even has interactive features, so you can actually spin parts of it! If you loved the book about the unlikely friendship in Project Hail Mary, you absolutely need this.

So, I was reading an interview with Vincent D’Onofrio over at The Playlist, and they were asking him about whether he might be popping up in the new Spider-Man: Brand New Day movie this summer. He basically said no, and that he’s holding out for Marvel to fully regain the rights to Kingpin before he even considers getting involved. He wants them to actually ask him to be in one of those films before he starts thinking about it, which, honestly, I totally get!

Some players are currently testing out Nested Lands in the latest playtest. The game will become available in Early Access on Steam for everyone else on February 25th. That’s exciting news for the over 9,000 people who have already added it to their Steam wishlists – including myself! Plus, the developers have shared a detailed plan showing what new features and content will be added during Early Access, so you don’t have to worry about the game being left unfinished. Here’s a look at what we know about Nested Lands so far.

Originally a series of novels by Nagaru Tanigawa, The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya became a hugely popular anime. The story centers on Haruhi, a high school girl who unknowingly has the power to alter reality. Her ordinary classmate, Kyon, finds himself drawn into her strange club, the SOS Brigade, which also includes an alien, a time traveler, and someone with psychic abilities. The series cleverly mixes humor, science fiction, and thoughtful commentary about how stories work. It was a major cultural phenomenon in the mid-to-late 2000s.
