Agatha Christie’s Seven Dials takes place in England in 1925. The story begins with what seems like a prank at a fancy house party, but quickly turns deadly. Lady Eileen ‘Bundle’ Brent, an unexpected detective, must solve a complex mystery that will forever alter her life. The series features performances by Mia McKenna-Bruce, Helena Bonham Carter, and Martin Freeman.
Smallville is historically important because it successfully updated the DC Comics universe for a new generation, all while staying true to the original stories. The show introduced many now-famous characters, like Oliver Queen (Justin Hartley) and Lois Lane (Erica Durance), years before they became well-known in movies and TV. Even today, Smallville is considered a key show in the superhero genre, and it holds up well on re-watches thanks to its focus on characters and its ambitious special effects. While some episodes work best as individual stories, many are memorable for their strong drama, entertainment value, or importance to the overall Smallville mythology.
Okay, so “Planet X” is basically the second-to-last issue of Grant Morrison’s incredible run on New X-Men, and it’s a wild ride. It initially blew everyone away because it seemed like Magneto was secretly posing as Xorn and then just… went completely off the rails, taking over New York with plans that bordered on genocide. Now, it did get complicated later – turns out it was Xorn disguised as Magneto, which honestly felt like a messy fix. A lot of people struggled with the idea of Magneto committing something so horrific, and I get that. But honestly, I think those critics missed what Morrison was trying to say with the whole run. It wasn’t just about a villain going bad; it was about something much bigger.

Here are six PS3 games with great stories that players had to dive into.
This page details a 30th-anniversary edition of Rayman for PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch. Atari is publishing and developing the game, while U&I Entertainment is handling the release. U&I’s involvement with physical copies hints that this version of Rayman might be available in a boxed format, in addition to being available digitally on the PlayStation Store.
I just saw the new movie, Mercy, with Annabelle Wallis, Chris Sullivan, and stars like Ferguson and Pratt, and honestly, it’s not doing well – it only has a 20% rating on Rotten Tomatoes! It takes place sometime in the near future, and the story is about a detective, played by Pratt, who’s accused of killing his wife. He has just 90 minutes to clear his name, because if he doesn’t, the AI court system he helped build – Judge Maddox, played by Ferguson – will decide his fate, acting as both judge and executioner.
Amazon recently advertised a Creative Director position focused on using artificial intelligence to dub content for Prime Video. The job description highlighted leading the creative direction for their AI-powered dubbing technology and expanding it to more languages and types of shows. However, after the listing appeared online, Amazon faced significant criticism, and the job posting has since been removed. Although Amazon hasn’t officially explained the removal, it’s likely the negative reaction from anime fans played a major role.
Since its release in 2015, Ex Machina has become known as one of the best science fiction films of recent years. It received overwhelmingly positive reviews upon release (with a 92% rating on Rotten Tomatoes) and continues to be highly regarded. It’s amazing to think it’s been over a decade since the film first came out – a true sign of its quality and lasting impact. Now that Ex Machina is streaming on HBO Max, it’s the perfect time to watch or re-watch and appreciate what makes it so exceptional.
Open-world games used to be a major draw for players, but recently, gamers are starting to expect more. Games like Skyrim and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild showed how exciting it could be to explore a vast, beautiful world, but simply having a big open world isn’t enough to impress players anymore. Many open-world games don’t create a world that feels truly engaging. However, these 5 single-player RPGs stand out – they all offer compelling adventures and a world you’ll actually want to get lost in.
