Naturally, there are usually a few things you should keep in mind.

According to a recent memo, Microsoft is focused on improving Xbox. This involves carefully deciding which products to develop, where to invest resources, and the overall direction of the company. The change from ‘Xbox’ to ‘XBOX’ is part of this strategy, signaling a commitment to intentionally serving the most dedicated fans of the brand.

A new behind-the-scenes video shows how the world of Super Mario Galaxy was brought to life in the movie. It features interviews with the directors and Nintendo’s Shigeru Miyamoto, who explains the team wanted to avoid a typical space movie look. They aimed for something more colorful and unique. Supervisor Simon Pate adds that they focused on capturing the bright, vibrant style of the original video games. The video also includes a look at some of the stunning concept art used for the movie’s space scenes.

The newest pixel art RPGs are gaining popularity because they’re incredibly diverse. Some focus on classic turn-based battles reminiscent of games like Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy VI, while others blend fast-paced action, exploration, and immersive stories. These games show that pixel art isn’t outdated – it’s actually becoming more sophisticated, with vibrant worlds featuring impressive lighting, smooth animations, and detailed environments that can compete with 3D games. And the good news is, one of the five standout pixel art games mentioned here will be released shortly.

The world in Superman: Red Son is quite different from our own, and the character designs reflect that—especially the costumes. Here are ten of the best alternate Justice League costumes from the story, offering fresh takes on classic heroes in a world where Soviet communism prevails.

This update includes many improvements and fixes. We’ve addressed problems with gameplay, such as issues entering Pond Management mode, and made UI enhancements, like a new indicator to show when missions are repeated. We’ve also fixed graphical issues, including a problem with ray tracing on Mac. You can find a complete list of all changes in the patch notes below.

So, I was scrolling through Threads and saw someone ask James Gunn about the future of a bunch of DC characters – Zod, Doomsday, Dr. Fate, Black Adam, Ultraman and his crew, even Darkseid! Gunn replied with a pretty cryptic message, saying ‘Two of them in not too long…’ which, of course, just leaves everyone wondering which two he meant. It’s killing me, honestly!

The show isn’t without preparation for future events, but galactic-scale conflicts take a backseat. We don’t hear about Grand Admiral Thrawn, a powerful Imperial leader who appears in later seasons of Ahsoka. The timing is intentionally vague, so it’s possible Thrawn hasn’t returned yet, or that these characters are acting independently because they don’t want to follow his orders. Regardless, these developments move the larger story forward in three important ways.

When For All Mankind first came out seven years ago, it was groundbreaking, focusing entirely on lunar orbit. Season 2 continued that, but honestly, the show has really taken off since then! I never would have guessed it would expand to exploring Saturn’s moons, let alone actually find life out there. Now that Season 5 has finished, it’s clear we’re heading towards the end of the series, but I’m excited to see how everything wraps up – there’s still so much potential for amazing stories.

When it comes to popular fantasy series, especially on TV, Game of Thrones remains a standout. It really set the standard for modern fantasy and is still considered by many to be the best. Despite a controversial ending, it’s spawned two successful spin-offs: the more modest A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, and the action-packed House of the Dragon. The third season of House of the Dragon arrives in June, and HBO has just released a new trailer that looks incredibly impressive and exciting. You can watch the trailer for House of the Dragon Season 3 below.
