Games

Here are six Midway games you likely forgot.

Although Marvel is keeping the exact story of Avengers: Doomsday under wraps, recent trailers have given us a sense of what the movie will be about. We know Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) is back, and the trailers suggest the stakes are incredibly high. We see Thor (Chris Hemsworth) praying for strength for a final fight, and Scott Summers (James Marsden) surveying the ruins of the X-Mansion. Most importantly, the latest trailer shows the Wakandans – Shuri (Letitia Wright) and M’Baku (Winston Duke) – inviting the Fantastic Four to discuss a mysterious and dangerous threat. This hints that the movie will draw heavily from the 2015 Secret Wars comic, which features a bleak outlook where everything is destined to end. Wakanda’s involvement specifically suggests the film may include one of the most shocking and darkest turns in Marvel history.

The re-release of Return of the Jedi premiered on March 14, 1997, and included a new addition that many fans still question: a musical performance in Jabba the Hutt’s palace featuring Sy Snootles and the Max Rebo Band performing the song “Jedi Rocks.” This change, made by George Lucas for the special editions, remains one of the most puzzling choices in the film.

The Invincible comic is famous for telling one continuous story, which means its individual story arcs aren’t always clearly defined. However, the series features many important events that happen over multiple issues and dramatically change the characters and the world they live in.

Bill Fagerbakke is well known as the voice of Patrick Star, a role he started in 1999 with the very first episode of SpongeBob SquarePants, “Help Wanted.” However, a year before that, he played a very different character: Karl Metzger, a prison guard on HBO’s drama Oz. The show centered around an experimental prison, and Metzger secretly aligned himself with a white supremacist group within its walls. He did their bidding, creating trouble throughout the prison – nicknamed the “Emerald City” – as the staff began to suspect his involvement. Ultimately, his deception was discovered, and his time at the prison came to an end.

Netflix’s new true-crime documentary, The TikTok Killer, quickly became a hit, racking up over four million views in its first week. That’s 600,000 more views than the true-crime series A Friend, a Murderer: Limited Series. It was one of the most popular shows on the platform, only surpassed by The Dinosaurs and Bridgerton.

Many Pokémon fans expected a special edition Switch 2 to celebrate the popular franchise, considering Nintendo has released themed consoles for Pokémon games before, and the game’s relaxing style seemed perfect for it. However, despite several special edition Switch consoles, the Switch 2 hasn’t received a limited redesign – until now. To mark the release of Disney Dreamlight Valley on the Switch 2, Gameloft is giving away a special *DDVthemed console.

The upcoming Multiverse Saga offers a chance to redeem some of the most compelling villains in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The films Avengers: Doomsday (December 18, 2026) and Avengers: Secret Wars (December 17, 2027) are based on the idea that alternate realities and timelines can bring any character back – even those who have died. And beyond just bringing them back, Secret Wars is predicted to completely reset the universe, potentially allowing villains to return as new versions of themselves, unburdened by past mistakes.

A trailer for the new Spider-Man: Brand New Day movie is likely to be released next week. The official website for the film has launched, and it recently received a rating in Korea, according to Marvel Updates. Receiving this rating suggests the trailer is almost ready for release.

War Machine is a relentlessly intense action film about soldier 81 (Alan Ritchson) and his brutal training to join the Army Rangers. What starts as a challenging exercise quickly becomes a desperate fight for survival when the team faces a terrifying and highly skilled enemy. It’s a no-rules battle to escape, and the Rangers’ chances don’t look promising.
