Superman’s enduring popularity stems from his appearances in some truly classic comic books. For decades, the most skilled comic creators have crafted incredible stories about the Man of Steel, captivating readers of all ages. The following ten stories represent the very best of those tales and are considered among the greatest ever told.
Today’s gamers might find it odd that classic characters like Mario don’t speak in their games. With realistic motion-capture technology now common, it feels unusual for these iconic figures to remain silent, especially since they often have voices in movies and other adaptations. But this silence is actually a valuable part of their appeal, and I believe it’s a major reason why these characters remain so popular with a wide audience.
Tiger Electronics, famous for its handheld games, tried something new in 1997 with the Game.com. It looked good on paper, featuring a touchscreen, basic internet access, and the ability to use two game cartridges at once. It was designed to be a personal digital assistant, or PDA, that also played games – a concept similar to what smartphones eventually became. However, the Game.com was a commercial failure. It had very few games available, a black-and-white screen, and several limitations that made it unpopular. Tiger discontinued it in 2000, and fewer than 300,000 units were ever sold.
To start the new year, Solo Leveling producer Atsushi Kaneko shared a message with fans. He revealed a rubber band he received with the phrase ‘Art is not a crime!’ and plans to make it his motto for 2026, promising to work hard. He also hinted that something exciting is coming for Solo Leveling fans soon, asking for a little more patience. The first episodes of season two were released as a compilation film, Solo Leveling: ReAwakening, in 2024, and it’s likely a potential third season will follow a similar approach.
Jason Statham has starred in many action films, and Wrath of Man is one of them. It’s currently the eighth most popular movie on Netflix, having previously reached number six. The film garnered 4.7 million views in its first week, adding to Statham’s string of streaming successes like Snatch, The Mechanic, Homefront, and Redemption.
Often hailed as one of the best TV shows ever made, Lost won many awards and nominations during its six seasons. This created high expectations for the series finale, which generally delivered a successful conclusion. Despite this, the ending proved controversial, leaving many viewers frustrated with unresolved questions and unclear fates for several characters. Fifteen years after it aired on May 23, 2010, Daniel Dae Kim, who played Jin-Soo Kwon, spoke out to defend the show’s divisive final episode.
Robin and Vickie are quite alike – they both tend to talk a lot and say whatever’s on their minds. It’s surprising Robin kept the secret about Hawkins hidden for as long as she did! However, Robin crossed a line when she started stealing drugs from the hospital, leading Vickie to initially think she had a drug problem – until the Demodogs showed up. Vickie eventually experienced the Upside Down firsthand, even jokingly questioning whether the air was breathable. But she wasn’t present at the end of Stranger Things Season 5, and that made sense given the circumstances.
Over time, the series has developed a distinct, melancholic atmosphere inspired by forgotten tales of ancient kingdoms. This tone frequently appears in the gameplay, like the eerie quiet of the frozen castle in Wind Waker or the decaying world of Lorule. A particularly memorable example comes from The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, featuring a seemingly minor character who teaches you new combat techniques. This character is presented as a ghost—specifically, a former hero—which adds a surprising emotional weight to the encounter and makes it especially poignant.
The Ayaneo Pocket Air Mini is a budget-friendly handheld gaming device that can play classic games from the late 90s and earlier. It’s small enough to fit in your pocket and features a comfortable 4.2-inch screen and controls. Currently, it’s only available to pre-order through an Indiegogo campaign. Despite being affordable, it’s surprisingly feature-rich, making it a great option for retro gaming fans. The price is around $70 to $80, depending on the specific model, and varies slightly due to exchange rates as it’s produced and sold in Hong Kong.
