As a longtime Doctor Who fan, I’ve always been fascinated by the Daleks, and digging into the BBC’s official Dalek Combat Manual is a deep dive! Apparently, the original Daleks weren’t just creatures inside the casings, but actually operated what were called Mark III Travel Machines. These things were seriously equipped – think rotating domes for a full view, energy weapons, and all sorts of attachments they could swap out, from flamethrowers to even suction cups. The shells themselves are made of this super-rare metal called Dalekanium, and while fans have documented tons of tiny differences, most of them don’t actually change how dangerous a Dalek is. So, I decided to rank all the official Dalek types, as laid out in the manual, by just how much trouble they could give the Doctor. Let’s see which ones are the biggest threats!

Netflix’s The Night Agent quickly became a hit spy thriller, similar to Prime Video’s Reacher, and starred Gabriel Basso as Peter Sutherland. Premiering in 2023, it racked up an impressive 133.1 million viewing hours over its three seasons. However, despite its popularity, Netflix has decided to end the series after season 4.

The new gameplay video, called Virtua Fighter Crossroads, showcases over a minute and a half of action. It features several characters, including Stella – who closely resembles the classic character Sarah – and Wolf. The video also appears to include Pai.

Embark Studios aims to create tension and unpredictability when players meet in ARC Raiders raids. They plan to include some player-versus-player combat, but also want to make sure the system is balanced and fun for everyone, no matter how they choose to play.

Ubisoft predicts it will lose roughly €500 million in fiscal year 2027, representing an 8-9% decrease, according to Reuters. However, the company anticipates a return to profitability and positive cash flow by fiscal year 2028, driven by its future game releases which are designed to be highly engaging and encourage player spending.

THQ Nordic has declined to discuss the matter. When asked for a statement, a PR representative simply said they had “no comment.”

I finally got to play the closed beta for this sci-fi RPG – basically, a demo – on my PS5, along with everyone else on other platforms. The developers, Owlcat Games, really wanted to get a ton of feedback from us players, which is awesome!

As a huge fan of The X-Files, I’m thrilled to hear that Disney+ is finally getting the Director’s Cut of I Want to Believe on June 11th, 2026! It’ll be available as an extra on the movie’s page, which is awesome. Now, we’ve had an extended cut on DVD and Blu-ray since 2008 – about four minutes longer than what we saw in theaters – but this Director’s Cut is different. Apparently, Chris Carter, the creator and director, had to cut some genuinely scary stuff to get the movie approved by the studio and the ratings board back in the day. This new version restores all of that lost content, so it’s essentially the film he originally intended us to see. I can’t wait!

Man, it’s crazy to think it’s been eight years since 2018! That feels like the peak of the PS4 era. But back then, Red Dead Redemption 2 came out and totally changed what an open-world game could be. Honestly, nothing has come close since. We’ve seen some amazing open-world titles, like Crimson Desert recently, but they just don’t quite measure up. I really think GTA 6 is the only game that’s going to surpass it when it drops later this year, and then that will be the new standard until Rockstar releases Red Dead Redemption 3 or GTA 7. It’s like Rockstar just keeps raising the bar!
