The Professional Baseball Spirits series began on home consoles in 2004 and, until recently, was only released in Japan. The free-to-play game, eBaseball PRO SPIRIT, launched worldwide on March 5, 2026, as the first game in the series available globally. Now, eBaseball PRO SPIRIT 2026 is the first full, numbered game in the series to be released worldwide with English language support.
Choosing between the two games comes down to the baseball experience you’re looking for. If you prefer following Major League Baseball teams, want to play on various devices, and like a well-established online system, MLB The Show 26 is the more reliable option. However, if you’re looking for a cheaper game, a version designed for PC, and a focus on Japanese professional baseball, eBaseball PRO SPIRIT 2026 provides a unique alternative.
Kotaku recently highlighted a stream where YouTuber GrizzoUK shared an email he claims to have received from Capcom’s legal team. The email stated that Capcom owns the rights to popular franchises like Resident Evil and Street Fighter, and that they were aware of fan-made modifications (mods) for adults being created using assets from those games. They also mentioned that videos of these mods had been uploaded to YouTube.
Here is an overview of the new content, via its Steam page:
According to Mishima and Hsu, Capcom developers Kenta Nakamoto and Kosuke Nabata spent a year and a half integrating path tracing directly into the RE Engine. The system relies on Nvidia’s DLSS Ray Reconstruction to reduce noise and maintain smooth performance. However, this reliance means path tracing in both Resident Evil Requiem and Pragmata will only work on Nvidia RTX graphics cards.
Players can build up Batman’s headquarters in Gotham City, adding space for his Batsuits and Batmobiles. Beyond improving his gadgets and abilities, you can decorate the space with trophies from defeated villains and personalize the furniture. You can even customize the Batcomputer itself, changing how data is displayed and selecting different screensavers.
Spider-Man’s newest ability is proving to be incredibly dangerous. In the current storyline, “Death Spiral,” Spider-Man, Venom, and Eddie Brock are caught in a deadly conflict with a new villain named Torment, who is targeting everyone they care about. Eddie Brock doesn’t realize that Carnage intentionally revealed the heroes’ identities to Torment, hoping to team up with him. After a brutal fight, an unexpected alliance has formed: Spider-Man has bonded with Carnage, and worryingly, Spider-Man may be losing control.
Though Spider-Man 2 is often praised for its amazing web-swinging and open world, the first Spider-Man game had a special ingredient: Bruce Campbell. He provided the voice and humor for the tutorial, making it a standout part of the entire game series. The tutorial’s lighthearted tone and playful dialogue are something other Marvel games could definitely learn from.
Similar to its Flash predecessors, Lucky Tower Ultimate is a challenging game. Originally released on Steam as an Early Access title in 2024, the full 1.0 version is a significant improvement. It includes new weapons, armor, and dialogue, along with a proper ending and lots of extra side quests. However, reaching all this new content requires surviving the Tower, which is quite difficult. Lucky Tower Ultimate successfully captures the fun and wit of the original Flash games, but it also shares their shortcomings.
Five years after appearing in the blockbuster Armageddon, Ben Affleck returned to science fiction with John Woo’s 2003 film Paycheck. Based on a story by Philip K. Dick, the movie follows a skilled engineer (Affleck) who has his memory erased after completing a confidential three-year assignment. He then finds himself on the run, relying on a handful of mysterious objects to help him remember what he did and prevent a grim future. While considered a less groundbreaking take on similar films like Total Recall and Minority Report, and released alongside several other Affleck projects, Paycheck has become somewhat overlooked. It’s now available for fans to revisit, as it began streaming on Paramount+ on April 1st.
