Classic games are experiencing a revival with remakes and remasters, and Xbox Game Pass offers access to many older titles. However, some of the best original Xbox exclusives haven’t received the updated treatment they deserve after two decades. Here are five games that are ripe for a modern comeback, and the reasons why.
This is a major accomplishment! The game has officially become the third best-selling video game ever, only trailing behind Grand Theft Auto 5 (which has sold nearly 230 million copies). It’s particularly impressive because Red Dead Redemption 2 hasn’t received any significant updates or expansions lately.
Okay, so I’ve been looking into this Meowth card – it’s a full-art Illustration Rare from the Pokemon TCG: Mega Evolution – Phantasmal Flames set. That set came out back in November 2025, and it was the second one released for the Mega Evolution era. There are 130 cards total in Phantasmal Flames, with a few really rare Special Illustration Rares and one Mega Hyper Rare. A lot of those super rare cards are highly sought after by collectors, but recently, this Meowth Illustration Rare has just blown up in popularity. I was really curious why, so I started digging to figure out what’s going on.
Currently, the top three games on Steam are Forza Horizon 6 at number one, LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight at number two, and Subnautica 2 in third. As predicted, Forza Horizon 6, the latest racing game from Xbox and Playground Games, is proving very popular, just like the previous installment. Both Forza Horizon 6 and Subnautica 2 are available to play for free with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass, which is likely boosting their numbers. Many predicted LEGO Batman might take the top spot, but Forza Horizon 6‘s success is remarkable considering it could have sold a million or two more copies at launch. This happened with Forza Horizon 5 as well, and Forza Horizon 6 is just as good. Adding to this, both Forza Horizon 6 and LEGO Batman cost $70, while Subnautica 2 is priced at $30, making Forza Horizon 6‘s performance even more impressive.
The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, along with their friends and foes, are surprisingly capable fighters. While they can be goofy, they’re highly skilled in various martial arts and possess impressive powers. This overview will focus on the characters as they appear in the comic books.
I first discovered the magic of the Arrowverse back in 2012 with Arrow, and I was immediately hooked! It grew into this incredible universe across The CW, adding The Flash, Supergirl, Legends of Tomorrow, Batwoman, and Black Lightning. What really blew my mind was the “Crisis on Infinite Earths” crossover – it felt like they brought together everything DC had ever done on screen! Over 700 episodes, they created so many memorable characters, and a lot of the actors truly became those heroes and villains. It wasn’t always perfect, but for me, many of those performances are the definitive versions of these iconic DC characters. Now, with Gunn and Safran taking the reins, it’s exciting to think they might draw from the Arrowverse’s talent pool – and honestly, with everything that show built, it’s arguably the strongest group of actors and characters DC has ever seen on television.
The season finale felt rushed and didn’t give enough attention to all the characters. Soldier Boy was completely absent, and the heroes from Gen V had a very short appearance where Starlight simply instructed them to avoid the central conflict. This was already a letdown, but it’s even more frustrating considering Prime Video cancelled Gen V after only two seasons.
The movie Mission: Impossible came out in theaters on May 22, 1996. It was a huge success, earning $457.7 million worldwide despite only costing $80 million to make. This success led Paramount Pictures to develop Ethan Hunt, played by Tom Cruise, into a major action hero, similar to James Bond, and they’ve continued to release new Mission: Impossible films for over three decades.
Be warned, there are minor spoilers ahead, but honestly, there aren’t any huge surprises. The movie is pretty predictable, and that’s not necessarily a bad thing – I enjoyed it! It’s a fun time at the movies, delivering exactly what you’d expect: Grogu is unbelievably cute, and he and Mando team up to defeat the bad guys – first the Imperials, then a pair of Hutt twins – helping the New Republic. The movie ends with them simply returning home, which is a perfectly satisfying conclusion.
Since the game has changed since its release on March 19th, we wanted to take another look and share our current thoughts on the open-world experience.
