Here is an overview of the game, via Twisted Works:

It’s tempting to make fun of the more optimistic parts of science fiction, or point out how it differs from darker, more realistic stories. But doing so misses the point of the genre, which encourages us to be hopeful. And what better way to explore sci-fi than by starting with fun, accessible films – especially those from a fantastic animation studio like Pixar? Here’s a ranking of Pixar’s four sci-fi movies.

The Jurassic Park movies have always moved forward in time, with each film taking place after the previous one – there haven’t been any prequels or timeline jumps. Although some movies have changed past events or added stories that seemed to happen at the same time as other films, the series has generally followed a single, continuous timeline (excluding the animated series). However, to revitalize the franchise, a prequel might be exactly what’s needed.

2025 saw a lot of great roguelike games, like Hades 2, which received numerous award nominations. Interestingly, the original Slay the Spire still attracted a huge player base, even though it had been out for over seven years. This strong interest in the genre doesn’t seem to be fading, and the early success of Slay the Spire‘s sequel suggests it will continue to thrive.

Gengar may seem a little cute, but this Ghost-type Pokémon is actually quite malicious and enjoys frightening people. The Moon Pokédex entry explains just how dangerous it is, stating that Gengar wants a friend and will tragically take the lives of others in an attempt to create one, as it was once human itself. This danger is also shown in the Pokémon anime, where Ash and Pikachu are briefly separated from their bodies. While they make it back, others aren’t so lucky and fall victim to Gengar’s terrifying power.

The Hulk is famously known for his incredible strength and tendency to destroy anything that challenges him. While his power comes from a lot of buried anger and past experiences, a key factor setting him apart from other gamma-powered beings is a supremely powerful, evil entity called the One Below All. This being is the origin of all gamma radiation throughout the multiverse and actively tries to amplify the Hulk’s power, hoping to control him. Fortunately, the Hulk has fought against this control and instead uses the immense power he receives to perform heroic deeds.

The 2010s were a fantastic decade for horror, seeing both established franchises and exciting new independent filmmakers gain recognition. A standout film from this era was David Robert Mitchell’s It Follows, which quickly became a fan favorite. It received a 95% positive rating on Rotten Tomatoes and made over $20 million despite only costing $1 million to produce. So, fans were thrilled to hear in 2023 that a sequel, They Follow, was in the works, with Mitchell and star Maika Monroe both returning. Monroe recently confirmed that They Follow is her next project, and she describes it as being “twice as messed up” as the original.

This game is an updated version of Sigma Star Saga, originally released for Game Boy Advance in 2005. It now runs on the Carbon Engine, thanks to work by Mighty Rabbit Studios. Limited Run Games is publishing and distributing physical copies for both PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch.

Peter Jackson’s remake of King Kong is now available to stream for free on Tubi, starting March 1st. However, the original 1933 King Kong film isn’t included and can only be rented or bought digitally. The story, set in the 1930s, follows a movie crew who travel to the remote Skull Island to film a picture. There, they discover and capture the enormous, prehistoric ape known as King Kong, and attempt to bring him back to New York City.

Originally released for the Nintendo DS in 2011, Radiant Historia was a critically acclaimed RPG that unfortunately never spawned a full series. The game takes place on the continent of Vainqueur, torn apart by conflict between two nations. Players control Stocke, who possesses a special ability – the White Chronicle – allowing them to travel between different timelines and attempt to save the land from becoming a desert. The game was a success with both critics and players thanks to its strong story and engaging gameplay. A remake, Radiant Historia: Perfect Chronology, came out for the Nintendo 3DS in 2017, further expanding the story and gameplay and receiving even more positive reviews.
