A recent Marvel mini-series, Spirits of Violence, brought together Ghost Riders from across the globe to battle a new enemy: the Spirit of Violence. The story resurrected Danny Ketch’s sister, Barbara, turning her into a host for this powerful spirit. It also brought back Johnny Blaze’s wife, Roxanne, as the villain known as Black Rose. As the Ghost Riders united against this threat, Danny Ketch made a final, selfless act, sacrificing himself and holding his sister still so they could both be destroyed by the Blight Blade.

Fans were genuinely surprised by one particular direct-to-DVD sequel – it was remarkably good! Not only did it surpass the previous sequel in quality, but it cleverly reminded everyone what made the original film so special. The Lion King 1 1/2, released on DVD 22 years ago today – February 10, 2004 – was a hilarious addition to the series and a refreshing tribute to the beloved original.

The popular underwater survival game Subnautica is coming to Nintendo Switch 2 on February 17th, and it’s getting a significant upgrade. Originally released in 2018 and available on Switch since 2021, the game will now run at a smooth 60 frames per second on the new hardware. When played on a TV, Subnautica will display in 1440p resolution, and the handheld version will run at 1080p. This upgraded version aims to provide a much better experience than the previous Switch release, which was limited by the older console’s power.

Bethesda might be holding off on an announcement to avoid it getting lost amongst other game reveals at the event, particularly Sony’s big titles. While that’s understandable, fans – especially those eager to play the game on PlayStation 5 – would probably welcome any news at this stage.

CM Punk walks into the arena, and a serious voice-over reveals his focus wasn’t on becoming famous, but on staying true to himself and doing things his way. The game seems to offer players a similar chance to explore an alternate path – what might have happened if he hadn’t stepped away from the public eye.

Unknown Worlds Entertainment recently shared a new developer update detailing how they’ve integrated multiplayer into the game. They want to assure players that the game will still be a great single-player experience, but you’ll also have the option to easily play with friends. Plus, with cross-platform play and dedicated player lists, finding and joining sessions will be simple and smooth, potentially creating some fantastic new memories.

Even with recent successes like the Emmy-winning shows The Last of Us and Fallout, and The Super Mario Bros. Movie making over a billion dollars, it’s still hard to make a good movie based on a video game. This is being proven again this Friday with the release of The Mortuary Assistant, a live-action adaptation of the popular 2022 horror game. The game gained a following on Twitch due to its many different endings, which depended on the player’s choices. While fans of the game will likely enjoy seeing familiar elements in the movie, others may not understand what all the excitement is about.

Thankfully, collections like the Arcade Archives series are reviving classic games for today’s consoles, adapting them for home play. It’s great to finally see Rave Racer – a 31-year-old title – available on consoles, especially since previous attempts to bring it home were cancelled. Here’s a rundown of everything you should know before Rave Racer arrives on February 26th.

I’d love to see Mario in a football game, but I’m hoping Nintendo will revisit a surprisingly fun idea from the 3DS: horse racing. Mario Sports Superstars included a fantastic horse racing mode, and it’s been missing ever since. With the recent success of Umamusume: Pretty Derby, a popular game about horse-girl racing, 2026 would be the ideal time to bring this back.

As reported by The Hollywood Reporter, a fourth Mummy movie is scheduled for release on May 19, 2028—almost 20 years after the third film, Tomb of the Dragon Emperor, came out. Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz have officially signed on to star, and Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett (known as Radio Silence) are directing.
