As a huge fan of Kingdom Come: Deliverance, I’m so excited that Warhorse Studios is making a game set in Middle-earth! Right now, we don’t know a ton about it, but the possibilities are amazing. I’m really hoping they’ll use this chance to show us parts of the world we haven’t seen much of in other games, create some fresh faces, and maybe even play around with the existing stories in cool and unexpected ways. Here’s what I’m most hoping to see – and one thing I think they should probably steer clear of!

Season 9 of Rick and Morty is here, and the new season is focusing on ongoing plotlines. Notably, Evil Morty – the show’s biggest villain – has returned after a three-year absence. However, it appears he’s been defeated again, possibly for good this time, and may not be appearing in Rick and Morty for a long while.

When Cable became the team’s leader, he transformed them into a more powerful and dangerous group. He trained these young mutants into an active fighting force, and brought in new members willing to use deadly force against their enemies. Here’s a ranking of the original 10 X-Force members, based on their power levels.

Look, I love the big superhero spectacles like The Dark Knight and The Avengers as much as the next person, but sometimes the smaller, less flashy comic book movies are just as great. There are these hidden gems that didn’t launch huge franchises or break box office records, but they’re seriously fun to watch. And one of the best, in my opinion, is Dredd from 2012. It was a really faithful adaptation of the classic 2000 AD character, which fans had been wanting for ages. It didn’t do well in theaters at first, but it’s gained a real following over the years. Luckily, it’s going to be available to stream again soon, and it’s free – which is awesome!

I’m not referring to the popular Call of Duty game made by Treyarch. I’m talking about a lesser-known PlayStation 2 game by Eurocom, which has gameplay similar to the original Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune.

The update also addresses crashes that sometimes happened when disconnecting from multiplayer games or while exploring the final areas of the game. Players using the highest graphics settings on PC should see better performance, and the game’s Terms of Service have been updated based on player feedback.

Numerous Star Wars games have introduced a lot of characters, but Cal Kestis has become particularly popular. The main character from the Star Wars Jedi games quickly gained a dedicated fanbase, and many fans have expressed wanting to see him in other Star Wars projects. Recently, a fan on X (formerly Twitter) shared their hope to see Cal Kestis appear in live-action, and the response was overwhelming – a lot of Star Wars fans want Cameron Monaghan, the actor who plays Cal through motion capture, to play the role in a live-action series or movie.

The game will be available to download on Steam and Xbox as soon as it officially launches. However, only PlayStation 5 players will be able to download the game beforehand, as pre-loading is required on that platform. The team apologized for the unclear messaging surrounding this.

Tatiana Maslany recently discussed with Radio Times the possibility of reprising her role as She-Hulk in future Marvel projects. Given the mixed reactions to She-Hulk: Attorney at Law – including both legitimate criticism and negative review-bombing – it’s understandable why the question came up. Maslany also publicly supported a call to boycott Disney after Jimmy Kimmel was briefly suspended last September (according to Deadline), which led to some speculation about her current standing with the company.

The original Super Mario Galaxy was a huge success for Nintendo, revolutionizing 3D platforming games. Surprisingly, Nintendo followed it up with Super Mario Galaxy 2, the first direct sequel in the 3D Mario series. Previous games like Super Mario Sunshine and Super Mario 3D World built on existing ideas, but didn’t continue the story or gameplay in the same way. Even after more than fifteen years, Nintendo hasn’t quite recaptured the magic of the Galaxy games, although a new game for the Nintendo Switch 2 might change that.
