Games

The 3DS game Digimon Universe: Appli Monsters came out in Japan in 2016 and is based on the anime series of the same name. The anime, which updated the Digimon world with smartphones, never received an English dub or aired outside of Japan. As a result, the game largely stayed within the Japanese market. However, for dedicated Digimon fans eager to play every game available, a new fan-made patch now translates Digimon Universe: Appli Monsters into English.

This spring anime season has offered a lot of exciting new shows, with everything from enchanting fantasy stories to series that could become future classics. Based on what’s aired so far, here’s our ranking of the five best currently streaming anime.

The prequel films had the difficult job of establishing the Jedi Order and the Republic, making them feel real and impressive for both longtime fans and new viewers. Creating the Jedi Order was especially challenging, as it required explaining a complex system of rules, traditions, and organization. The prequels also finally answered a significant question that had puzzled Star Wars fans since the very first movie, A New Hope, and the answer has only deepened the story’s appeal over time.

LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight is a definite standout, but don’t overlook Bubsy 4D and Warhammer 40k: Speed Freeks – they might be surprisingly good too.

I was so excited to see that Schizophrenia, the psychological horror game, finally came to PlayStation! I originally saw it on PC last year, and the best part is, it’s free on both Steam and the PlayStation Store – no strings attached! It’s a little on the short side, only about an hour long, but honestly, for a free game, that’s okay with me. The trailer looks really interesting, and it seems like this was mostly a one-person project. Even though it’s a budget title, people seem to be enjoying it – it has a 3.66 out of 5 star rating on the PlayStation Store, which is pretty good!

PlayStation Plus members on PS5, regardless of their subscription tier, can now get the Search and Destroy Pack for both Battlefield 6 and Redsec, its free-to-play battle royale mode. The pack includes a variety of cosmetic items like a character skin (“Tactical Surge”), weapon stickers (“Test Fire”), and weapon packages for the M/60 LMG and SGX SMG (“Clean Kill” and “Sureshot” respectively). It also features soldier patches, dog tags, a parachute, player card backgrounds, weapon charms, vehicle decals, and a vehicle skin.

Wow, it’s already been four years since Success’ Cotton Fantasy came out on PS4! I just finished another playthrough, and honestly, it’s totally worth spending about 45 minutes with this adorable shoot-’em-up, especially just to listen to that amazing nighttime soundtrack. It really rocks!

As a collector myself, I was really intrigued by what’s currently up for grabs at Heritage Auctions – a whole bunch of classic Voltron action figures! Surprisingly, it’s not one of the heroic lions leading the bidding war, but the villainous Prince Lotor. This figure is in fantastic condition – graded at 78.3 out of a possible 75+ – and still in its original, remarkably well-preserved packaging. With the current bid at $360 and only one day left on the auction, it’s a great piece for any serious Voltron fan, but you’ll need to act fast if you want to win it!

Let’s start by considering a powerful enemy, Gath, who appears incredibly dangerous and doesn’t bother concealing his strength. He’s a changeling with a celestial background, and discovering his name does little to diminish the fear he inspires.

Gibson recently shared in a video that he was very surprised to be cast in the role, explaining he’d been a longtime fan of the James Bond films and books.
