As a long-time fan, I remember being a bit disappointed with the first Mortal Kombat movie. Sure, it delivered on the brutal fatalities we expected, but it took some big liberties with the story. A lot of us were frustrated by the new magical system they called ‘Arcana,’ and honestly, the fact that the actual Mortal Kombat tournament barely happened felt like a miss. The biggest issue for me, though, was focusing the story on Cole Young, a character we hadn’t known before, instead of the established fighters. Thankfully, the trailers for Mortal Kombat II suggest they’re learning from those mistakes, and it looks like Cole might be in trouble!

In a recent live stream, DOOM: The Dark Ages director Huge Martin gave fans an update on the upcoming DLC. He explained that the team has been quiet about it not because of a lack of progress, but because the DLC is incredibly large – more like a full sequel to The Dark Ages than a typical expansion. While he didn’t announce a release date, Martin asked viewers to remain patient for more information.

This analysis focuses on how well the game runs on computers, and the technology that powers its great graphics and realistic physics.

The game features a diverse cast of characters, like Thaddeus Carminus, a seasoned cook at the Meridian Market, and Salt Pete, a local who believes the oceans of Nivalis hide secrets beyond just strange creatures and old technology. You’ll also meet Nixxy, a streamer who broadcasts live using augmented reality glasses. The developers have created a massive world with over 135 fully voiced characters, totaling around 200,000 words of dialogue, hinting at the game’s impressive scope.

Fear Effect 2: Retro Helix, originally released for the PlayStation 1 in 2001, was developed by Kronos Digital Entertainment and published by Eidos Interactive. While Square Enix now owns the rights to the game after acquiring Eidos, they’ve partnered with developer Implicit Conversions and publisher Limited Run Games to bring this re-release to life.

Tubi and Warner Bros. have partnered to bring a large collection of classic animated films and shows to Tubi’s free streaming platform in the U.S. Fans are now discovering just how extensive this deal is, with new content added starting in March. Plus, Tubi is also streaming some Cartoon Network specials that weren’t available on any other streaming service before.

The official One Piece manga account announced on February 25, 2026, that the upcoming special episode would be delayed a few weeks. It’s now scheduled to release on April 23, 2026. While fans excited for a new adventure with their favorite characters will have to wait a bit longer, the delay is due to the show’s popularity and will help make sure it’s available to everyone.

Throughout its 11 seasons and 218 episodes, The X-Files delivered some truly memorable standalone stories. Here’s a ranking of the 10 best ‘Monster of the Week’ episodes – those that actually stand out as even stronger than the show’s famous alien-centered plotlines.

Working for the Beyond Corporation shattered Ben’s mind, erasing his memories and personality, and turning him into a shadow of his former self. Once a lesser-known but capable Marvel hero, he became a full-fledged villain, even leading a demonic attack on New York during the “Dark Web” storyline. His descent into villainy felt unearned and was a letdown for fans. Just when he seemed to be recovering, Marvel pulled him back into his villainous ways. It’s time for Marvel to finally give Ben a proper resolution.

The new Pokémon Pokopia game is doing something Nintendo usually doesn’t allow – and it has consequences for future Switch owners. Nintendo previously had a rule meant to benefit those with a Switch 2, but Pokopia is breaking it. This allows Nintendo to potentially overlook a major issue with the Switch 2, while also disadvantaging owners, especially the half who prefer buying physical game cartridges. Pokémon Pokopia is the first exclusive game from Nintendo itself to be released on the controversial Game-Key Card, and I believe this marks the start of the decline for Nintendo’s popular physical game releases.
