Games

Checking out games in Early Access is a great way to play upcoming titles before they’re fully released. The 2025 Game of the Year nominee, Hades 2, actually started as an Early Access game, and I highly recommend trying both the early and final versions. If you’re interested in promising new games launching in Early Access in 2026, I’ve compiled a list of projects I’m excited about. I’ve included a variety of genres, so hopefully there’s something for everyone.

Everyone agrees that SG-1 is a classic, and it’s great that it’s now on Netflix. However, even dedicated fans will admit the show wasn’t always perfect. Some seasons were fantastic, while others were more hit-or-miss. We’ve ranked all ten seasons of SG-1, from simply good to truly outstanding, and fans still debate which ones are the best!

Over the past year and a half with Absolute Batman, we’ve met many of Batman’s villains, and they’re almost never what they seem. Just think about how shocking the Joker’s true nature was – it took a whole year to uncover! I suspected Absolute Poison Ivy was hiding something, and I was right. The comic doesn’t fully capture how different and terrifying her new powers and true form are.

Superman and Batman are DC’s iconic duo, and their adventures span countless universes. This comic takes us to Earth-3, a world where heroes are the villains. While Earth-3 is usually ruled by the Crime Syndicate, this story focuses on a time before the team existed, highlighting just Ultraman and Owlman. It’s a surprisingly fresh concept that’s a bit of a mystery why it hasn’t been explored sooner. Seeing Ultraman and Owlman – along with Superwoman – before they’ve built their team and established their power is a fantastic idea, and the writer, Waid, executes it brilliantly.

Dethklok, the band from the show Metalocalypse, is hitting the road again this year! Creator Brendon Small will be performing the show’s most popular songs. The “Amonklok Tour” kicks off April 15th in Phoenix, Arizona, and will travel across North America. They’ll be joined by the iconic heavy metal band Amon Amarth, playing shows throughout the western United States. Due to popular demand, more dates have been added to the tour, with confirmed shows now including Chicago, Los Angeles, Seattle, Portland, and San Diego. You can find all the details directly from Brendon Small.

The upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 could be ideal for a detailed Mario strategy game, largely because of its mouse support. While strategy games are traditionally played on computers with a mouse, the Switch’s Joy-Cons offer this functionality to console gamers for the first time. A strategy game starring Mario is something Nintendo hasn’t tried before, and a real-time strategy game set in the Mushroom Kingdom or a city-building game where Princess Peach leads the charge would be a bold new direction for the company and give fans a fresh way to play.

Over the past 46 years, DC Comics has consistently pushed boundaries with incredibly dark and complex stories. Some of these stories have become iconic classics, while others gained notoriety for being shockingly different. These seven stories represent DC’s most intense and impactful work, fundamentally changing how fans view the publisher.

From the start of Game of Thrones, the story of Aerys II Targaryen, also known as “The Mad King” and the last Targaryen ruler, was a significant part of the show’s history. Now, a new Game of Thrones project officially titled The Mad King is in development, with creator George R.R. Martin playing a key role.

Niantic recently announced some big improvements to battles in Pokémon Go on the official website. The team has completely reworked the core battle system to address issues like lag and bugs that players have experienced in Gyms and the GO Battle League. This update promises to significantly improve the battle experience. Niantic shared a detailed post explaining all the changes, and it looks like the update is currently being released to players.
