Last year, Sony added a low-power mode to the PS5. When enabled for supported games, this mode prioritizes energy savings by slightly reducing game performance. While it might seem minor, the energy reduction can be significant – sometimes cutting power consumption by as much as 50%. It’s a bit surprising it took so long, but Guerrilla Games has now included this feature for players who want to help lower their energy use.
For years, the official Pokemon competitive scene (VGC) has been played using the latest Pokemon games, most recently Pokemon Scarlet & Violet. Moving to a dedicated platform for competition seems logical. However, Pokemon Champions introduces a new challenge: the game’s way of earning content through purchases could create an uneven playing field, as players may need to invest different amounts of money to be fully competitive.
Just in case you hadn’t figured it out, we’re talking about the Transformers movies! On April 1st, Transformers, Transformers: Age of Extinction, Transformers: Dark of the Moon, and Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen will all be available to stream on Peacock. These films have earned nearly $4 billion worldwide, proving to be huge hits with audiences.
These movies are also really enjoyable, but they haven’t received as much attention as some other popular films. If you haven’t checked them out, I recommend giving them a watch.
Hulk’s appearances in the Marvel Cinematic Universe have resulted in a variety of storylines, some of which fans love and others dislike. The quality of these stories varies greatly – some make Hulk a powerful and essential character, while others make him feel unnecessary. Here’s a ranking of every Hulk story in the MCU, from the weakest to the strongest.
“The Dark Phoenix Saga” is a legendary storyline that significantly impacted the X-Men. 20th Century Fox attempted to adapt it into a movie twice, but both films were unsuccessful. Despite these adaptations, the original comic book remains a classic and continues to shape the history of the X-Men.
This is where the core gameplay really comes into focus. Creative director Gregory Louden explained to PlayStation Blog that this game is designed to be more of a “playground” for experimentation, unlike the more challenging “obstacle course” feel of Returnal. The goal is to give players lots of options and opportunities, especially with projectiles. Instead of just avoiding enemy fire, you’ll actively seek it out to charge up Prominence, your powerful weapon.
The new story begins 14 years after the events of The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King. While Frodo sailed to the Undying Lands, his Hobbit companions – Sam, Merry, and Pippin – stayed behind. The film will show them reflecting on their adventures, and then tell a story that takes place during The Fellowship of the Ring. Specifically, it will adapt chapters 3 through 8 of the book, which weren’t included in the first Lord of the Rings movie.
Over three seasons of The Mandalorian on Disney+, audiences have followed the adventures of Din Djarin and Grogu, a unique father-and-son pair. Since Din first found Grogu (known as ‘The Child’), they’ve experienced a lot and met many different characters, both helpful and dangerous. Now, as they make their first appearance on the big screen in the film The Mandalorian and Grogu, Din and Grogu will face new challenges and meet new people, including Ward, a leader of the New Republic’s Adelphi Rangers played by Sigourney Weaver, and Rotta the Hutt, played by Jeremy Allen White.
I’m a huge fan of Smiling Friends, and I’ve been loving the short episodes they’ve been releasing! The newest one, “Smiling Shorts: Card Game,” totally delivers on everything that makes the main series so great. It starts with almost everyone playing a simple card game, but, predictably, things quickly go off the rails thanks to Mr. Boss’s crew. One risky card pull sends everyone into survival mode, and the ending is absolutely wild – seriously, it features one of the creepiest creatures they’ve ever shown! You really need to check out this short; it’s a perfect little dose of Smiling Friends chaos.
