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.

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.

Who are the first ten villains Iron Man fought in Marvel Comics, and how powerful were they, ranked from weakest to strongest?

While promoting his new movie, Project Hail Mary (coming to theaters March 20th), Ryan Gosling talked about the challenges of filming. He had to act opposite himself for long periods and the role was physically demanding. He jokingly described one particularly unusual part of the process: wearing a special suit that made him look like a ‘space caveman,’ calling it something he never expected to do but ultimately enjoyed.

Harrison Ford’s most iconic role is undoubtedly Indiana Jones. Created with Steven Spielberg and George Lucas, the character didn’t just launch a hugely successful film series—it brought adventure films back into the spotlight, offering something truly unique for its time. While Indiana Jones has remained popular for decades, today marks a turning point: it’s the day someone other than Harrison Ford first portrayed the character, with the premiere of The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles on March 4, 1992.

In 2010, the BBC released Doctor Who: The Adventure Games as a free download for people in the United Kingdom, with other countries gaining access later. Although five episodes were created, the BBC ultimately decided to focus on developing games for consoles instead, which led to the cancellation of Doctor Who: The Adventure Games. Sadly, this means the game is now very difficult to play. It was removed from Steam in 2017, so finding a physical copy is the only option. Despite a slow start with critics, fans really enjoyed the game, praising its engaging story and fun gameplay, but it’s largely disappeared from availability.
