These games weren’t just fun – they truly transformed the gaming landscape. Each one raised the bar for its genre, pioneering new levels of design, difficulty, ease of play, and creativity. They redefined what players expected, and their impact is still felt in today’s games. From innovative combat to groundbreaking structures and multiplayer experiences, these five titles played a key role in shaping modern gaming.
If you enjoy horror games that build tension slowly, check out Inner Voices. Unlike many fast-paced horror titles, this game, created by Nick Chronopoulos and published by Dionous Games, focuses on a deliberate, patient unraveling of mystery. You’ll explore a strange island at night, investigating its secrets. The game excels at creating a truly unsettling atmosphere, and the long periods of quiet actually make the scares more impactful. Inner Voices offers a unique experience for those who appreciate a slower, more atmospheric approach to horror.
Okay, so after that initial trailer, I genuinely thought Thor might be, well, done for good. But things seem to have shifted! Chris Hemsworth recently dropped some hints that he’ll be back for Avengers: Secret Wars, and even suggested he could reprise the role a “couple more times” – they apparently have plans for the character! Honestly, putting it all together, it’s pretty obvious where Marvel is going with this: they’re building towards the Thor Corps. I’m excited to see how they pull it off!
With the DC Universe facing potential destruction due to Darkseid’s near-victory in the DC K.O. event, a major change to Doomsday’s backstory and abilities has just been revealed. This rewrite transforms the Kryptonian villain into the universe’s “Absolute Champion,” and fans will likely be surprised by this development as they try to understand how it impacts the overall story.
We weren’t counting actor changes for projects like Marvel Zombies. We’re focusing on instances where a live-action actor was permanently replaced by a different actor playing the same role. A voice actor taking over, even in shows like Marvel Zombies or What If…?, doesn’t count as a true recast. Also, we didn’t consider changes due to aging. For example, Abby Ryder Fortson played Cassie Lang in the first two Ant-Man movies, and Emma Fuhrmann took over the role for Avengers: Endgame because the character was supposed to be five years older – that wasn’t a recast. But when Fuhrmann was later replaced, that did count.
Funko has just given fans something to be excited about! Gizmodo exclusively revealed the first wave of Pop! Vinyl figures based on Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, and they’re sure to help make the wait for the show a little easier.
A fresh trailer for Spider-Noir has been released, showcasing new scenes of Ben Reilly (played by Cage), an older private investigator, as he deals with the gritty and dangerous side of New York City during the Great Depression. This version of Spider-Man is a solitary hero, operating without any other costumed allies, and the trailer portrays him as weary, jaded, and involved with the city’s criminal element. You can watch the trailer below.
The Pokémon Company is trying something new with these game releases. They’ve traditionally focused on remaking older games, but now they’re bringing classics to modern systems. This has fans excited about the possibility of seeing even more beloved Pokémon titles – and other games from the 2000s – available on the Switch, letting us experience those games again. With FireRed and LeafGreen bringing the original Kanto region to the Switch, here are five other games from Nintendo’s past that deserve a re-release.
As expected, the most memorable parts of the Mandalorian and Grogu trailer center around the adorable Grogu. Whether he’s providing comic relief – like pressing buttons on the ship – or creating touching moments – such as meditating while Din Djarin worries about his future – Grogu is sure to be a standout. The movie could really shine by showing the moment Grogu says his first words.
The news arrived unexpectedly on Tuesday morning, without any accompanying trailer, gameplay footage, or details about pre-order incentives.
