I’ve been seeing so much hype around Saros – a lot of people are already predicting it’ll be Game of the Year in 2026! So I figured it would be a huge hit right out of the gate. But it sounds like sales aren’t quite living up to expectations, which is a little worrying. It’s not a disaster yet, but combined with all the recent game cancellations, studio shutdowns, and PlayStation backing away from live service games, it does make me a bit concerned about what the future holds for their first-party games.

I’m really excited about what Dynamite Comics is doing with the new Ben 10 comic reboot! The first issue already sold out, which is fantastic. They’re doing some cool things with the characters, like a fresh take on Grandpa Max. But what really caught my eye is how they’re reimagining Zombozo! You might remember him – he was one of Ben’s earliest villains, this creepy clown who used a machine to steal people’s life force. Well, the cover for issue four shows a completely new, seriously terrifying version of him, and honestly, it looks amazing! I can’t wait to see this killer clown debut in the future issues.

I’m so excited for the return of Frank Castle! It feels like forever ago, back in 2016, when Jon Bernthal first blew us away as the Punisher in season two of Daredevil on Netflix. Now, ten years later, he’s back with a new Marvel special on Disney+, and get this – he’s going to be in Spider-Man: Brand New Day soon! It’s amazing to see Frank blasting his way back into the spotlight.

I was so excited to see reports about a new Palworld trademark! Apparently, Pocketpair trademarked “Palworld Online” in both South Korea and the US, according to Gematsu. We don’t know exactly what they’re planning yet, but the developers have talked before about wanting to build Palworld into a whole franchise, not just one game. They’re already doing that with things like Palfarm, the mobile game, and even comics! So this “Palworld Online” trademark definitely feels like a hint of even bigger things to come, and I can’t wait to find out more!

As a longtime fan of the wizarding world, I’ll admit it – I’ve always dreamed of playing a real game of Wizard’s Chess. And now, it turns out that dream is closer than ever! Thankfully, this version skips the part where the pieces try to knock you out while you play, which is a definite plus.

It’s impressive that Maul – Shadow Lord has gained so much attention. Animated Star Wars shows often don’t get as much recognition as the live-action series or movies, and this show also revisited familiar characters and stories. Its success has led to a second season being planned. Here’s a ranking of all Star Wars TV shows, including Maul – Shadow Lord, from worst to best.

This year marks a big celebration for Mob Psycho 100! To commemorate both the anime’s 10th anniversary and the birthday of its main character, Shigeo Kagayama (May 12th), a new poster and special artwork from creator ONE have been released. This is just the beginning of a summer-long series of events celebrating the milestone.

I’ve been a Superman fan for years, and it’s amazing to see how the world around him has constantly changed, even when his core values have stayed true. Superman himself hasn’t necessarily changed as a person, but the stories told about him have grown into something huge and complex. Today, I want to share what I think are the seven most important creative choices that really reshaped Superman and his adventures. These ideas didn’t just add to his story, they took it to a whole new level! Let’s dive in and look at what truly transformed the Man of Tomorrow.

Nintendo entered the handheld gaming market with the Game & Watch, a unique, folding LCD device that also included a clock. Over the years, Nintendo created more than 60 different Game & Watch models, even releasing full-color versions to celebrate its 35th anniversary in 2020 and 2021. These systems sold over 43.3 million units in total, with Donkey Kong being the most popular game, selling over 8 million copies. The success of Donkey Kong was particularly important, as the arcade version helped rescue Nintendo from financial trouble in 1981 and propelled them to become a major force in the video game industry.

PS Plus Essential is the most affordable option and mainly offers older games to download. PS Plus Extra costs more and gives you access to a big library of past titles. The priciest tier, PS Plus Premium, focuses on streaming games and classic retro titles.
