The game is called Dark Deity 2, and its release on PlayStation and Xbox is exciting news for fans of tactical RPGs. Created by Sword & Axe LLC, this sequel improves upon the original Dark Deity, which became popular for its complex gameplay, extensive customization options, and classic art style – drawing inspiration from Fire Emblem games on the Game Boy Advance.
Arc Raiders creates a beautifully realized world with a genuine sense of threat, and its combat system is satisfying for both strategic thinkers and skilled players. It feels like a fresh take on the extraction shooter genre, offering a more focused and considered experience than typical battle royales. While not perfect, its flaws are small. Any fan of shooter games should definitely give Embark Studios’ new title a try.
As a huge Alien fan, I can honestly say Alien: Earth is the best thing to come out of the franchise since Aliens. It’s a prequel set two years before the original film, and it follows a Weyland-Yutani ship crashing on Earth with a bunch of alien creatures – including, of course, a Xenomorph. Everyone’s been raving about how well it expands the Alien universe and the action is genuinely thrilling. Critics and regular viewers alike have loved it! But here’s the frustrating part: it’s been over a month since the first season ended, and Disney still hasn’t renewed it for a second season. That’s really worrying, because if Alien: Earth doesn’t get picked up soon, the whole franchise could lose some serious steam.
Okay, so ARC Raiders is doing really well! I was checking in, and both the developers, Embark Studios, and Nexon just announced that the game has already sold over 4 million copies since it came out last month. That’s awesome to hear – I’m glad so many people are enjoying it!
Fans are imagining Sydney Sweeney as Power Girl in the DC Universe, and concept art shared on Instagram by @21xfour shows how well she could fit the role. Power Girl is the Earth-2 version of Supergirl (played by Milly Alcock in the upcoming Superman and Supergirl projects). After a less-than-ideal debut in Sony’s Madame Web, taking on the role of Power Girl could be a great way for Sweeney to establish herself as a compelling superhero.
The comedy The Interview, starring Seth Rogen and James Franco, caused a major international incident when North Korea called it an act of war. Directed by Rogen and Evan Goldberg, the film began streaming on Hulu on November 1st. It follows two talk show hosts—played by Rogen and Franco—who are unexpectedly recruited by the CIA to assassinate North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, a storyline that led to real-world political tensions.
Okay, so I was trying to watch some videos on YouTube and it was totally glitching out! I checked Downdetector, and it looks like over 6,000 other people were having the same problem – videos wouldn’t load, uploads were failing, and even when something did play, it was constantly stopping and starting. It’s a little better now, down to almost 5,000 reports, which hopefully means they’re fixing things. Still, it’s been super frustrating when you just want to relax and watch something!
Wizard of Legend II was initially available on Steam for PC in Early Access starting October 3, 2024. The full game then launched on June 12, 2025, for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC.
Okay, so I heard pre-orders are going live soon! You’ll be able to grab the digital version pretty much everywhere starting November 12th. If you’re in Japan and want a physical copy, you can pre-order those starting November 13th.
During a recent earnings call, Sony’s CFO, Lin Tao, discussed challenges with Destiny 2. He explained that increased competition has put pressure on both Bungie and Sony, resulting in lower sales and player engagement than anticipated. This is particularly notable considering Sony’s $3.6 billion acquisition of Bungie in 2022.
