Games

Here are the five weirdest games on the NES.

The new Netflix series, Stranger Things: Tales From ’85, fills in the gaps between seasons 2 and 3, and it’s been a great opportunity to improve Will’s storyline. The show addresses a significant problem with his character arc and even sets up some things that will make his ending in season 5 better, largely thanks to a new character named Nikki.

Imu is incredibly powerful and seems unbeatable. But even after the events on Elbaph conclude, the Straw Hat Pirates still have a significant journey ahead. Many important mysteries, especially those surrounding the Void Century, remain unsolved, and the answers will likely be revealed when they reach Laugh Tale. While it’s not confirmed how many story arcs are left in One Piece, the narrative needs at least three more to fully conclude.

The Steam Controller Puck is a standout feature, offering a convenient way to connect wirelessly and charge your controller – all in a really small package. It’s incredibly easy to set up; just plug it into your PC and you’re ready to play. The controller seems designed for simplicity and ease of use, which is great.

A fan on Threads inquired about the progress of the announced Booster Gold and Paradise Lost series. James Gunn confirmed both are still being developed, stating Booster Gold is ‘in development’ and Paradise Lost is in ‘extreme development.’ When asked if ‘extreme development’ was good news, Gunn explained that projects with active writers’ rooms are the ones furthest along.

I can see why people are critical of the updates to Crimson Desert. These patches highlight a common problem in game development – fixing major issues after release instead of ensuring the game is finished beforehand. While it might seem like Pearl Abyss simply rushed the game, I think they’re actually doing something that should have been done earlier. These large updates reveal that most single-player games don’t get enough beta testing, and it’s time for that to change.

Looking for a fun game to play with a friend? There are tons of great two-player games available, whether you’re feeling competitive, cooperative, or just want to have some laughs. We’ve rounded up some of the best unblocked options you can start playing today.

Science fiction sometimes relies on predictable and overly convenient plot twists – like discovering the story was just a simulation or that characters were aliens in disguise. These can be shortcuts for writers. Luckily, the 2015 film Ex Machina avoided these clichés. This incredibly suspenseful movie features just three main characters: Caleb, a programmer played by Domhnall Gleeson, visits the secluded home of tech CEO Nathan, played by Oscar Isaac. Nathan asks Caleb to determine if Ava, the robot he created, is truly conscious and capable of human thought.

It appears the popular manga Black Clover is nearing its end. A recent post on X (formerly Twitter) by @WSJ_manga indicates that Chapter 392, releasing in Japan on May 1st, will be the final chapter. This news follows a previous hint about a “Serialization Climax” listing. Fans should prepare for the series’ conclusion with this upcoming release in the Spring 2026 issue of Shueisha’s Jump GIGA magazine.

A brief, 25-second trailer for the upcoming sequel was released in late April 2026. While it initially shows familiar scenes reminiscent of the first Alien: Isolation game – a rundown, dimly lit spaceship interior – closer inspection reveals significant changes. The trailer hints that the sequel, while building on the original’s terrifying atmosphere, will offer a distinctly different experience from what many consider one of the greatest Alien games ever created.
