Games

Lots of popular online games, like *Fortnite*, offer temporary collaborations with other brands, letting you unlock costumes and items from shows like *Family Guy* or *Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles*. However, some games go much further, blending multiple brands together for a complete gaming experience. This approach has led to some unexpected successes, resulting in some of the strangest – but most surprisingly fun – crossovers the gaming world has ever seen.

I was surprised to see *The Irishman* just outside my top ten. It’s a really ambitious film, but honestly, it doesn’t quite reach ‘must-see’ status. Speaking of filmmakers I admire, Paul Thomas Anderson’s work always gets my attention, so in the spirit of appreciating great cinema, I’ve put together a list of ten crime epics that *absolutely* deserve your time, ranked from essential to just plain fantastic.

Released by Netflix in 2017, *Dark* quickly became a fan favorite over its three seasons. It was Netflix’s first original German-language series and became hugely popular on the platform, earning praise for its performances, filmmaking, compelling story, striking visuals, and memorable music.

Many Marvel characters have enjoyed brief popularity before being forgotten, while others quickly gained a following only to be sidelined. Throughout Marvel’s history, this has happened frequently, and these ten overlooked characters deserve another chance in the spotlight.

Season 3 of *Spy x Family* will continue the story directly after the events of Season 2, adapting more of the original manga by Tatsuya Endo. With the premiere scheduled for October 4th on Crunchyroll and Hulu, now is a perfect time to revisit some of the most memorable episodes that have made this anime so popular. Here are our recommendations for episodes to watch before Season 3 arrives this Fall.

Yuta’s significant role in Season 3 of *Jujutsu Kaisen* suggests a major power increase and bad news for those who oppose him.

Seriously, it’s been way too long since Popo and Nana got their own game! These guys debuted way back in 1985, and since then, they’ve mostly just shown up as cameos – thankfully, they’re in every *Super Smash Bros.* game since *Melee*, which is cool. But honestly, it feels like Nintendo just doesn’t *like* them. They only have that original *Ice Climber* game to their name! I really think it’s time Nintendo gave Popo and Nana another chance and made a new game for them.

Recent reports from *Deadline* suggest that concerns about the next James Bond are easing. Sources say director Denis Villeneuve is looking for a British actor in their late 20s or early 30s to take on the role – someone relatively new to the scene, rather than a major celebrity. This focus on a fresh face is actually a good sign, as Villeneuve and Amazon MGM Studios are aiming for a more grounded and classic approach with *Bond 26*.

Here is an overview of the game, via Perp Games:

The story started in *DC All-In* #1 when Darkseid, sacrificing his most powerful followers, gained control of the Spectre’s power. He then attacked the Justice League’s Watchtower, and though the League seemingly defeated him, Darkseid died leaving a strange tear in reality. Surprisingly, Booster Gold volunteered to investigate this fissure, disappearing inside. Recent issues of *Superman* have focused on Superman and Superboy-Prime’s attempts to rescue him. *Superman* #30 explains why Booster Gold is so crucial – he holds the key to either giving Darkseid control of the entire universe or destroying him completely.
