Last May, Fantasy Life i successfully revived a popular game originally on the Nintendo DS. The game quickly gained a large following, attracting both returning fans and new players. It launched on PC, PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch, with plans for a Switch 2 version. Now, the developers at Level5 have announced that Fantasy Life i will also be available on mobile devices, letting you enjoy the game wherever you are.

As a horror fan, I’ve been waiting for this one! For years, Tales From The Crypt has been conspicuously absent from most streaming services. Despite originating on HBO, it never made its way to HBO Max, which always felt like a missed opportunity. But fantastic news! Shudder, the streaming service dedicated to horror, is finally bringing the show back next month. Season one drops on May 1st, and they’ll be adding a new season every Friday after that. By June 12th, we’ll have the entire series available to stream – it’s the first time all of the Cryptkeeper’s creepy stories will be in one place online! And the trailer is awesome – John Kassir, the original voice of the Cryptkeeper, is back to deliver the goods. Definitely one to watch!

When George Lucas first started developing Star Wars, he actually imagined it as a retelling of the Arthurian legend! That’s why the idea of a special sword – like Excalibur, which sometimes glows when pulled from its sheath – felt so natural. You can still see echoes of that in the Star Wars universe with the kyber crystals, which are essentially what power and color each lightsaber. In fact, the name ‘kyber’ comes from an alternate name for Excalibur, ‘Caiburr’! But honestly, after nearly 50 years, those lightsabers just look incredible – they’ve really stood the test of time.

These DC weapons grant incredible abilities, putting their wielders on the same level as the most powerful beings in existence. Several of them possess capabilities that even surpass those of Mjolnir, the famous hammer from Marvel, and are significantly more potent.

Pirates in games often stand in stark contrast to traditional knightly characters. While knights uphold codes of honor and conduct, pirates actively reject them, frequently operating outside the bounds of established rules. They rarely work alone, instead relying on crews to help them achieve their aims and embrace a life of freedom. This rebellious spirit and strong sense of camaraderie often make pirate characters compelling for players.

This game, created by the Fukuoka-based company, originally launched on the 3DS in 2017. It was then released internationally on the Switch in 2020, adding to the company’s growing collection of multimedia franchises.

Here’s a summary of the game, as explained by LEVEL-5 CEO Akihiro Hino at today’s LEVEL-5 Vision 2026 Craftsmanship event.

Many people who love a game might overlook its flaws, but that wasn’t the case here. We believe Starfield fully commits to its vision, and whether you enjoy it or not depends on if you accept those choices. It’s not simply a good or bad game; it’s polarizing because it deliberately emphasizes certain strengths, even if it means making sacrifices in other areas.

The development team clearly aimed for something ambitious and unique, trying to capture the immense scale and emptiness of space. However, this approach ended up alienating a large part of Bethesda’s existing fanbase. Some players appreciated the focus on exploration, atmosphere, and scope, but others were expecting a game more like Skyrim or previous Fallout titles, and this one didn’t deliver that experience.

Although a release date hasn’t been set, the game listing reveals that Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy for Nintendo Switch 2 will likely receive a PG-12 rating due to violence and some strong language.
