Because *Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo* is set some time after the original series, we haven’t seen much of the characters fans already know and love. While the first season concluded happily, many viewers were eager to see Yuji and his friends back in action. The latest chapter of the sequel finally delivers, giving fans a first look at how Yuji has grown as a fighter.
Some films, despite not being critically acclaimed, have surprisingly gained a dedicated fanbase – think movies like *Kuffs*, *Passenger 57*, and *Judgment Night*. The following movies aren’t quite in that ‘cult classic’ category, but they’re consistently good films that deserve more recognition and a larger following.
If you haven’t heard of it, *Freddy’s Nightmares* was a TV series that ran from 1988 to 1990. Each episode featured a different, scary story about dangerous dreams. Robert Englund, famous for playing Freddy Krueger in *A Nightmare on Elm Street*, hosted the show, introducing each story. He even appeared *in* eight of those stories as the villain.
As a PlayStation Plus member, I was really excited to see what games were included for October, and they didn’t disappoint! We got three titles: *Alan Wake 2*, *Cocoon*, and *Goat Simulator 3*. Each one is fun in its own way, but *Cocoon* was a real standout last year – Xbox Game Pass subscribers were raving about it as a surprise hit in 2023. Honestly though, *Alan Wake 2* is the big draw here. It came out last year and was easily one of the best games of the year, and I’m discovering it really shows off what the PS5 can do graphically – the visuals are stunning!
As a huge fan, what I’m really hoping for is something that honors the source material but also feels fresh and new. It needs a good reason to exist alongside the books and films – a genuinely creative reason, not just a copy. And it’s exciting to hear they’re striking that balance! For example, set photos showed Dumbledore with Nicolas Flamel and his wife, Perenelle, in scenes that weren’t in the movies *or* the books. That shows they’re willing to invent new moments and explore the world in a different way, which is exactly what I want to see!
You can now play a demo of the game on PS5! It lets you experience both the single-player story mode (called Journey) and the new Burst Battle multiplayer mode again, or for the first time.
You can now download a demo for SpongeBob SquarePants: Titans of the Tide on PlayStation 5. It’s a small download, only about 5 GB.
To stop a massive flying fortress, Kliff heads to an old, deserted keep where a powerful enemy called Golden Star is located. The battle is intense, with Golden Star attacking using fire tornadoes and missiles, but players can use special EMP bullets to hurt it. However, that’s just the beginning – Golden Star then flies away, with Kliff desperately holding on!
Mattel Studios is creating a new TV series based on the Magic 8 Ball, with Brad Falchuk (known for *American Horror Story*) and M. Night Shyamalan (*The Sixth Sense, Split, Signs*) collaborating on the project. The series will be a suspenseful, character-focused supernatural drama, using the iconic toy and its 20 possible answers as a central element, and exploring themes of psychology and culture.
Demeo is a virtual reality role-playing game created by Resolution Games, originally launched in 2021. It’s now available on PS5 and Steam, offering a captivating multiplayer experience that feels like a virtual tabletop game. Demeo uses cards to make gameplay flow smoothly. Now, Resolution Games is partnering with Wizards of the Coast to bring a new virtual RPG based on Dungeons & Dragons to life. Called Demeo x Dungeons & Dragons: Battlemarked, it will be released on November 20th. PC players can try a demo during the Steam Next Fest starting October 13th. I’ve played the demo’s two scenarios, and it’s the best virtual tabletop experience I’ve ever had – plus, the game acts as the Dungeon Master, letting everyone focus on playing a character.
