Longtime fans are especially puzzled by the lack of new Jak and Daxter games. The series was once a major PlayStation franchise, frequently featured in magazines and talked about by gamers. However, it’s been almost twenty years since a brand new game was released – the last original title came out in 2009. As PlayStation continues to change and grow, many are wondering why this popular series has been neglected for so long.

Choosing the seven best episodes featuring Captain Picard feels impossible, like a no-win situation. However, the episodes listed here are consistently popular with fans because they truly show what makes Picard who he is. These aren’t necessarily the most well-known, but the ones that best define his character. At their best, these episodes combine strong writing and acting to reveal something profound about Picard himself.

Starting January 1st, all six seasons of Lost—a total of 121 episodes—will no longer be available on Netflix. Created by Jeffrey Lieber, J.J. Abrams, and Damon Lindelof, the popular sci-fi show originally aired on ABC from 2004 to 2010. It tells the story of the passengers on Oceanic Flight 815, who crash on a strange island while traveling between Sydney and Los Angeles and must fight to survive.

When the Game Boy launched in 1989, it revolutionized handheld gaming with a fantastic library of games – many of which are still enjoyable. However, The Amazing Spider-Man for Game Boy isn’t one of them. While it could have been good despite the system’s limitations, the game is unfortunately a poor adaptation. It’s a side-scrolling beat ’em up with clunky controls and strange combat. The jumping feels particularly awkward for a Spider-Man game, and it’s not a title players revisit for nostalgic reasons.

With talk of remaking the first three Halo games, fans are questioning whether a new Halo game – Halo 7 – will ever be made. Could the developers simply restart the story with a return to the original games? It’s a possibility, but Microsoft likely has the capacity to do both: remake the classics and continue the main Halo series. Whether they will is still uncertain, but Halo 7 still seems likely to eventually happen.

2025 was a fantastic year for anime, offering both beloved classics and exciting new series. Several shows really stood out, and even just one of them demonstrates why it was such a memorable year for fans.

The movie Anaconda arrives in theaters on December 25th and is being produced by Brad Fuller of Platinum Dunes. Platinum Dunes first became known for remaking classic horror films like Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Friday the 13th, A Nightmare on Elm Street, and Amityville Horror. More recently, the company broadened its scope to include sci-fi and action projects such as TMNT and A Quiet Place, and also produced the TV series Jack Ryan and The Last Ship.

Most people are familiar with how vampires are made these days: a human drinks a vampire’s blood, then dies to be reborn as one of the undead. Some stories even try to explain it with fake science, saying the person needs to die quickly enough for the blood to work. However, a surprising detail appeared in a comic book last year that everyone seems to have missed.

Like most large game companies, Blizzard has started many projects that were ultimately cancelled. Some, such as StarCraft: Ghost, have well-documented histories, but others were promising ideas that never made it to completion. Here are five significant Blizzard games that were never released, and the reasons why fans didn’t get a chance to play them.

As a fan, I was really disappointed with The Lost World: Jurassic Park and Jurassic Park III. They just didn’t capture the magic of the first movie. Instead of being thrilling and unpredictable, the stories felt really familiar and predictable. One of them felt like it was just repeating the same ideas, and honestly, it was frustrating because I was hoping for something new. The other tried to be a simple dinosaur survival story, but it ended up feeling cheap and didn’t really make much of an impression. It’s a shame, because I heard the original script for Jurassic Park III was actually really promising, and the final movie just didn’t live up to that potential.
