Get ready for some wild action on PS5 starting July 23rd! It’s shaping up to be a packed month for the console with this exciting new release.

It’s not a surprise to many that the remake of what’s often considered the best Assassin’s Creed game looks so good, and I’m happy to see Ubisoft seem to have really succeeded with it. This feels like a turning point for the studio, especially after a major failure badly damaged its reputation. That failure was Skull and Bones, a large-scale pirate game that aimed to recapture the magic of Black Flag but didn’t measure up in any way. This remake gives Ubisoft a chance to fix past mistakes and, importantly, offers the team behind Skull and Bones a second opportunity to prove themselves.

For almost thirty years, Star Wars fans have argued about who would win in a fight: Darth Vader or Darth Maul. While the official Star Wars stories haven’t given a definitive answer, the new series Star Wars: Maul – Shadow Lord provides enough information to finally make a strong case for one over the other.

The Justice Society is a truly iconic superhero team, and its impact can still be felt today with new heroes carrying on its name. Here’s a ranking of the original ten members, based on their power levels, presented in the order they first appeared in comics – ignoring any later changes DC Comics made to their history.

Karl Urban, who plays Johnny Cage in Mortal Kombat II, recently told ComicBook that he actually performed the splits for the character’s famous special move – and remarkably, didn’t get hurt doing it!

Lightsaber colors haven’t always been so diverse. Originally limited, we now see a wide range of colors on screen, including yellow, orange, purple, white, green, and more. Lightsaber designs have also evolved, with recent Star Wars films and shows showcasing increasingly unique and customized sabers. Here are five designs that really pushed the boundaries when they first appeared.

There was some uncertainty about whether Sony’s reported new DRM would impact the PS5. This DRM would supposedly require players to connect to the internet every 30 days to confirm they have legitimate copies of their games.

In an interview with IGN, Valve’s Lawrence Yang explained the company isn’t just planning a simple update to the Steam Deck. Although they are actively developing the Steam Deck 2, he believes it will take some time before the new version offers enough improvements to make upgrading worthwhile for current owners.

Robert Kihl, Engine Lead at Embark Studios, revealed the upgrade in a PlayStation Blog post, detailing its upcoming features and improvements.

The latest update adds a new character to the racing game, available as free downloadable content. He’ll race alongside Red from Angry Birds and Arle from Puyo Puyo (who’s coming soon). To celebrate, the character gets a special Hawaiian-themed vehicle called the Goromaru. A “Captain Majima Festival” will run from April 30th to May 3rd, and the game will be free to play for a weekend, extending through May 4th.
