Many video game companies, such as Nintendo, have dramatically redesigned their controllers over time. However, Sony has generally stuck with a more consistent approach. While the newest DualSense controller is more streamlined and has extra features, its basic shape and how it works haven’t changed much since the original PlayStation 2 controllers that many players remember. But according to a report from Video Games Chronicle, a newly approved patent suggests PlayStation controllers could be about to get a major redesign.

Post-credits scenes in Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) films have become essential for revealing future storylines. These short clips give fans clues about what’s coming next, including the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday movie. Recent films in Phases 5 and 6 have been building towards Doomsday‘s story, and several post-credits scenes clearly foreshadow events in the new film.

Good news for fans of Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End: Season 2 will premiere on Crunchyroll on Friday, February 6th! While the English dub was planned to begin this week, it’s been slightly delayed due to the recent winter storm. This means fans will have to wait an extra week for the dub, but at least we now have a confirmed release date for the new season.

Many games successfully modernize classic titles, improving the graphics and gameplay for new players while still honoring what fans loved about the originals. Nintendo has consistently delivered strong remakes, as seen with games like Fire Emblem, The Legend of Zelda, and Metroid. But arguably their best remake came over two decades ago, and it perfectly demonstrates the key to a truly great remake.

Prime Video is adding some exciting new shows and movies in February! Season two of the popular series Cross returns on February 6th, and Dove Cameron stars in the new thriller 56 Days, premiering February 18th. Movie fans can look forward to classics like Charlie’s Angels and Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle, both available starting February 1st. You can find a complete list of February’s additions on Prime Video below.

Over the past year, we’ve noticed Darkseid’s presence in titles like Justice League Unlimited. But what if a certain DC hero has been linked to Darkseid from the very beginning? Could they be unknowingly tapping into the same energy source that powers Darkseid’s devastating Omega Sanction? It might sound far-fetched, but I’m convinced a popular character in the Absolute Universe has a connection to Darkseid, and I have evidence to back it up.

The first video game based on Tolkien’s writings was The Hobbit, released in 1982. However, this early text-based adventure game wasn’t very popular. A much better adaptation came in 2003, also called The Hobbit, and it’s separate from the movies. This version is an action-packed platformer that stays remarkably true to the book, with only a few added characters. Fans of The Hobbit will especially enjoy it. While it might be a little simple for experienced gamers, it’s still worth playing at least once.

Okay, so I’ve been playing Code Vein 2, and it’s definitely trying to do a lot. They’ve really leaned into the open-world thing and kept that tough-but-fair combat we loved in the first game, which is cool. But honestly, it’s not running as smoothly as other action RPGs that came out last year, like The First Berserker: Khazan. It feels like it’s asking a bit too much from your system, especially if you’re on PC. It’s a fun game, but the performance issues are definitely noticeable.

Though it dealt with serious themes, Pushing Daisies was a wonderfully creative and funny show with a great cast, and it explored some surprisingly poignant and unsettling ideas. The story begins with Ned’s mother unexpectedly passing away, and Ned’s attempt to revive her inadvertently causes the death of his childhood crush, Chuck’s, father. However, there’s a catch: Ned’s mother briefly returns to life, shares a final moment with him, and then dies for good, leaving Ned deeply affected.

According to Casey Bloys, the head of HBO and HBO Max, the hit show The Last of Us is likely to conclude after its third season. When asked by Deadline if seasons of Hacks and The Last of Us would be their last, Bloys said the final decision rests with the show’s creators. Since the third season will probably cover the story from the second game, it’s a logical conclusion for the series.
