Even though many people have forgotten how good these 1980s sci-fi shows were, they’re still really fun to watch. In a way, being overlooked actually makes them more special – they’ve become hidden treasures from a decade full of fantastic sci-fi. It’s a shame they were ever forgotten, but at least they still stand out as being truly great.
Okay, so I spotted a couple of good deals! First up is Wild Hearts by Omega Force. I remember seeing that one come out in February 2023, and most reviews put it around the 75-79 range on Metacritic. The other game is Immortals of Aveum from Ascendant Studios, which dropped in August 2023. It’s a first-person shooter, but with magic, and reviews were a bit more mixed, landing somewhere between 65 and 75 on Metacritic.
The story has reached a critical turning point. With Loki, the Straw Hat Pirates, and the New Giant Warrior Pirates returning from underground, the giants are now the biggest immediate threat to the World Government as a major war approaches. In Chapter 1172, titled “The Elbaph I Dreamed Of,” Elder Jarul boldly states his defiance against the God’s Knights and refuses to submit to the World Government. He references a prophecy by Harley, which predicts a coming global divide, and declares that Elbaph will actively oppose the World Government from now on.
The full lineup of announced downloadable content characters / content is as follows:
Fans concerned about the absence of pod racing in Galactic Racer can rest easy – Matt Webster, CEO and co-founder of Fuse Games, has confirmed it will be included, according to GamesRadar+.
Doom is incredibly brilliant, but also incredibly arrogant. His successes are so complete that they make even the most powerful heroes doubt their own abilities. He doesn’t achieve victory through luck; he carefully plans every move and always plays for the long term.
Currently, the top-rated release of 2026 is Cult of the Lamb: Woolhaven, scoring an 86 on Metacritic. However, since this is downloadable content for an existing game, it doesn’t qualify as a new release. Therefore, the highest-rated new games of 2026 are tied with a score of 84 on Metacritic. These are The Legend of Heroes: Trails beyond the Horizon, which launched on January 15th for multiple platforms, and Cairn, a PlayStation 5 exclusive that was just released on January 29th.
Despite featuring acclaimed actresses Gillian Anderson and Lena Headey, the western series The Abandons has been widely criticized, earning a mere 30% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and being labeled a failure by some. Set in 1850s Washington, the show focuses on a fierce rivalry between the leaders of two families—one wealthy and influential, the other built on strong bonds of loyalty—as they fight for control. The show’s creator, Kurt Sutter, departed during production due to disagreements with the studio, a pattern stemming from his previous firing from the series Mayans where he admitted to difficult behavior. Now, Sutter is publicly critical of Netflix’s decision to cancel the show he left before it finished.
Variety reports that Send Help is projected to make $20 million in the U.S. during its opening weekend, slightly more than the $18 million expected for the film Iron Lung. This is the biggest opening weekend ever for a horror movie directed by Raimi, exceeding the $15.8 million earned by Drag Me to Hell in 2009. The film also brought in $8.1 million internationally, for a total worldwide debut of $28.1 million.
During its early years on Cartoon Network, Adult Swim was known for its edgy and unconventional style, and they weren’t afraid to take risks with their advertising. This became dramatically clear on January 31, 2007, when a promotional campaign for Aqua Teen Hunger Force – featuring the Mooninites characters – was mistaken for a bomb threat in Boston, leading to a hefty fine. Looking back, the incident may have actually been the best possible publicity for the show.
