Excitement is growing for Shrek 5, which is scheduled to hit theaters on June 30, 2027, after over ten years! However, fans hoping to rewatch the original Shrek movies might have a limited time to do so. Shrek, Shrek 2, and Shrek the Third just became available on Tubi on February 1st, but they’ve already been added to the platform’s “leaving soon” list. While specific dates haven’t been announced, titles usually leave Tubi at the end of the month, so it’s likely the first three Shrek films will be removed on February 28th.

In February 1962, with issue #4 of Fantastic Four, Marvel Comics reintroduced Namor, a hero originally published by Timely Comics as the Sub-Mariner. Interestingly, this appearance also established Namor as the first mutant in the Marvel Universe, predating the debut of the X-Men by a full year.

Here are 8 of the most unforgettable TV performances from recent years. These weren’t just well-acted or critically acclaimed—they truly elevated their shows and will be remembered for years to come. In fact, some series wouldn’t be as popular today without these actors.

All three of the original RoboCop movies – RoboCop (1987), RoboCop 2 (1990), and RoboCop 3 (1993) – are now streaming on Prime Video. You can also find other RoboCop content on the platform, including the 2014 remake, the RoboCop: The Series TV show, the animated series RoboCop: Alpha Commando, RoboDoc: The Creation of RoboCop, and RoboCop: Alpha Command: Crash and Burn.

The first three Lord of the Rings movies perfectly captured the grand scale of Tolkien’s story, and few films, even in the fantasy genre, have matched their quality. Considering how much bigger movie budgets and visual effects have become, it’s surprising we haven’t seen more films reach that level recently – though a lot of recent fantasy has been on television. However, there are some promising projects on the horizon that could potentially surpass the original films, if they’re made well.

This week, on February 13th, the classic NES game Jaws is coming to PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, and PC thanks to Limited Run Games. Originally popular and well-received on the NES, this game is based on the famous Jaws movies, but instead of a straightforward adaptation, the developers at Atlus cleverly added some early role-playing game features. Now, fans can enjoy Jaws: Retro Edition very soon!

Man, I was so hyped for Overwatch 2. The first game was a huge deal, and I really thought the sequel would build on that. But honestly, it’s been a mess since launch. Blizzard’s basically having to completely rebrand the game just to try and win back the few of us hardcore fans who stuck around. There are a ton of other great hero shooters out there, so I figured it was too late to fix things. But, I’ve been hearing about some planned changes, and one of them actually sounds really good. It might not be enough to save the game, but it could bring back old players like me and attract a whole bunch of new ones, which would be awesome.

Before Jurassic Park had a brief return to theaters in 2013, Star Wars: The Phantom Menace was re-released in 2012 and earned $102 million. The idea was to bring all six Star Wars films back to cinemas, but that plan never materialized. Only The Phantom Menace—which was often considered the least popular film at the time—got a re-release. So why didn’t the other five films follow suit?

Rhys Elliott from Alinea Analytics highlights that Subnautica 2 from Unknown Worlds is highly anticipated, recently detailing its cooperative gameplay features. Despite a difficult development process, including legal issues with Krafton and the studio’s founders, the game has already received 3.8 million wishlists on platforms like Steam. While this level of interest isn’t unexpected – the original Subnautica and its sequel, Subnautica: Below Zero, were both major successes – Elliott points out that the game has been available for wishlisting since November 2024.

Players eagerly awaiting the next big Metroidvania, potentially rivaling Silksong, should keep an eye on Emberbane. This pixel-art adventure has generated a lot of buzz by drawing inspiration from sources like Avatar: The Last Airbender, Devil May Cry, Celeste, and The Messenger. Emberbane uniquely combines elemental-based combat with smooth, fast-paced movement, offering a new experience within the genre. After years in development, the hype is understandable. With its powerful elemental abilities, exciting action, and immersive story, Emberbane could become a standout success in the Metroidvania world.
