Okay, so in this game, I’m playing as Dark Six – basically a ghostly version of Six from Little Nightmares II. I have to get out of a bunch of weird, separate situations that feel like they’re happening at the same time as the main game. The story’s a little confusing when it comes to when everything happens, but honestly, it doesn’t really matter. It feels pretty separate and you can enjoy it even if you haven’t played Little Nightmares II.

Tech analyst Brad Lynch reports that Valve has been receiving shipments of what are likely Steam Machines at its US warehouse. This suggests Valve is preparing to ship the hardware soon, as companies usually stock up on products right before their release.

The new Netflix series, Man on Fire, premiered on April 30th, with all episodes of its first season now available to stream. Created by Kyle Killen and starring Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, the show is inspired by the five-book series by A. J. Quinnell, beginning with the original novel. It reimagines the story of John Creasy – a former special forces soldier haunted by PTSD and alcoholism – who was famously portrayed by Denzel Washington in the 2004 film. This seven-episode series finds Creasy emerging from seclusion to protect the teenage daughter of a slain friend, all while pursuing those who ruined his life.

Sitcom fans rejoiced this year when Scrubs made a comeback! Following the positive reception to the new episodes and the return of beloved characters, ABC and Hulu have confirmed a second season.

If you’re looking forward to the new Mortal Kombat movie, you’ll be excited about the latest action figures from McFarlane Toys! They’ve recently added Johnny Cage and Ermac to their Mortal Kombat Klassics line. Each figure is about 7 inches tall, incredibly poseable with 22 moving parts, and comes with extra hands and a stand for display. Plus, the packaging is designed to look like the classic arcade game, celebrating the series’ history.

Update 1.6 for Borderlands 4 is now available on PS5, Xbox, and PC, and it’s a big one! Gearbox has made a ton of adjustments to improve balance for different characters, weapons, and challenges. The update also tweaks how some gameplay works and refines features added in the Story Pack 1 DLC.

Today, April 30th, Monster Crown: Sin Eater is available on PC through Steam, as well as PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch. The game boasts a classic 2D pixel art style and a unique, branching storyline not often found in RPGs. Players can collect and train a diverse roster of monsters to battle alongside them. It seems like Monster Crown will appeal to fans of classic monster-collecting games while also delivering a deep and engaging single-player RPG experience.

I’m really excited to share that The Mist is coming to Kanopy on May 15th – and the best part is, it’s free to stream if you have a library card! This movie takes place in Bridgton, Maine, the day after a terrible storm. It follows a local artist, David Drayton, and his son as they head to the grocery store, only to find the town completely enveloped in a bizarre, thick mist. What starts as a search for supplies quickly turns into a desperate fight for survival, not just against the creatures lurking outside the store, but also the dangers that emerge from within. It’s a seriously gripping thriller!

Many fighting games based on anime tend to be simpler, focusing on 3D arenas and easy-to-learn controls rather than deep, complex gameplay. Unlike Dragon Ball FighterZ, which uses a 2D, team-based system, games like Jujutsu Kaisen: Cursed Clash, My Hero One’s Justice, and Jump Force have often been criticized for not fully capturing the potential of their source material. When fighting games have more detailed mechanics, each character can stand out with unique and interesting ways to play, giving players more to learn and master.
