When Space Invaders first came out in the late 1970s, it rapidly became a defining video game of the 1980s. It’s known for being challenging – players have to fight increasingly faster waves of alien ships that speed up as they approach. Interestingly, this increasing speed wasn’t intentional! Space Invaders was originally programmed for computer hardware that couldn’t handle displaying many objects on the screen at once. This caused the game to start slowly, but as players destroyed aliens and fewer remained, the game sped up. This programming limitation actually became one of the game’s most beloved features.

This series has shifted towards self-contained episodes, but a larger story is starting to emerge. Central to this story is Dr. Annika Zeller, the newest doctor at Arkham Towers. She’s gained recognition for her invention, the Crown of Storms, which aims to treat serious mental illness. As revealed recently, she’s been testing the device on the Joker, who has been attempting to contact Batman. This issue brings the two together in a compelling and thoughtful exploration of their characters.

Fans of Korean dramas before the recent surge in popularity will remember Song Joong-ki started his career in the late 2000s. He appeared in numerous shows like My Fair Lady and Sungkyunkwan Scandal, though initially in smaller roles. Like many popular actors, he built his career by playing supporting characters until landing his big break in 2012 with Innocent Man.

Fans of animated shows have noticed a “Leaving Soon” section on Tubi featuring several series. While it’s not certain when or if Cartoon Network shows will be removed, this could signal the end of the streaming service’s partnership with the network. Tubi hasn’t officially commented on whether these shows are actually leaving, or if it’s just a technical glitch. With the recent merger of Paramount and Warner Bros, it’s possible Warner Bros. will decide to stream its shows on its own platforms instead.

I was really bummed to hear in a recent interview with TheGamer that Let It Die’s online services will be going offline in fall 2026. But it’s not all bad news! The team isn’t just taking the game away; they’re actually working on turning it into a fully playable offline version. That means we’ll still be able to play, and GungHo won’t have to keep the servers running. Here’s everything I’ve learned about how they’re planning to do that so far.

Ereban: Shadow Legacy first launched for PC via Steam on April 10, 2024.

According to Lunacy Studios’ creative director, Faris Attieh, the team aimed to craft a story about overcoming grief that would resonate with everyone. They achieved this partly by showing how Maya’s father influenced the scholars she meets, highlighting his lasting impact. This also allowed them to uniquely represent the Islamic Golden Age, something rarely seen in video games, according to a press release.

Most sci-fi TV shows are enjoyable, but few are perfect throughout their entire run. It’s common for a show to have at least one weaker season. However, a select few manage to maintain consistently high quality, making them excellent from beginning to end, even over many seasons.

I was so excited when Uncharted finally hit theaters in 2022! As a fan of the video games, I couldn’t wait to see Nathan Drake and Victor Sullivan brought to life on the big screen, and Tom Holland and Mark Wahlberg totally delivered. The movie follows their adventure as they race against a ruthless billionaire and a dangerous mercenary to find Magellan’s lost treasure. It was a long time coming – I heard they started working on it way back in 2008! – but it was definitely worth the wait. It was a huge success for Sony, and I was thrilled to be part of the audience that helped make it happen.
