Let’s ditch the usual New Year’s Resolutions! Instead, tell us what you plan to achieve on your PlayStation 5 in 2026.

Fans were disappointed that the 97 missing episodes of Doctor Who – lost when the BBC routinely erased tapes for reuse in the 1970s – weren’t included in this collection. However, having the remaining episodes gathered together was a fantastic surprise. Even after over sixty years, the earliest parts of the show’s history remain unavailable to fans, which is frustrating.

When Donkey Kong came out, it was a groundbreaking game that helped define the platformer genre. It was a huge hit for Nintendo, rescuing the company from financial difficulties and launching the career of legendary game designer Shigeru Miyamoto. By 1982, Nintendo had sold approximately 132,000 arcade cabinets, mostly in North America, generating around $280 million in revenue. That’s equivalent to about $942.4 million today—or over 235 million individual quarters! Nintendo didn’t stop there, though; Donkey Kong has grown into a multi-billion dollar franchise.

FTL: Faster Than Light is still considered one of the greatest roguelike games of all time. It has a simple yet perfectly crafted concept that makes the gameplay loop challenging, addictive, and satisfying. Despite being an older title, it’s easy to overlook in favor of newer games. However, FTL is a must-play for any fan of the genre, and thankfully, it remains enjoyable even today for those who haven’t experienced it yet.

Films like Superman (1978), Joker, Deadpool & Wolverine, and Batman (1989) didn’t quite make the list, despite being huge financial successes. When adjusted for inflation to 2025/2026 dollars, their worldwide earnings were just a little too low. The question now is whether Avengers: Doomsday will claim the number one spot by December. We’ll have to wait and see.

Back in 2013, a player named PAADA sold a very rare in-game item from Dota 2 for $38,000 on the r/DOTA2Trade subreddit. The item was a pink War Dog courier with a special visual effect called Ethereal Flame. This particular pink color wasn’t intentionally part of the game; it was a rare glitch that Valve fixed later. Because of this, the few pink War Dogs with the Ethereal Flame became incredibly valuable, as the War Dog is already the most popular type of courier in the game.

While promoting his show, The Copenhagen Test, James Wan told Screen Rant he’d be very interested in directing one of the Avatar sequels. He said he’d “love to take a crack at that” if James Cameron offered him the opportunity.

Although some questioned whether it was genuine, it was confirmed that GANDI SAS is the entity responsible. This registrar appears to handle domain registration for popular Ubisoft franchises like Far Cry, Assassin’s Creed, and Splinter Cell, among others. Notably, it was created just one day before the domain for Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake was registered.

I’ve noticed a lot of anime lately falls into the ‘isekai’ genre, and honestly, it can get a bit repetitive. But it’s not all that’s out there. There’s a new fantasy anime on Crunchyroll that’s really standing out, and if you’re feeling burnt out on ‘isekai,’ I highly recommend giving it a look. It’s a refreshing change of pace.

Fans enjoyed seeing iconic X-Men characters like Wolverine, Professor X, and Magneto in the Fox movies, but Dazzler never got a chance to shine. Created in 1980 as Alison Blaire, Dazzler can turn sound into light and energy, and she briefly appeared in the 2019 film Dark Phoenix with Halston Sage. Now, rumors suggest Marvel Studios is considering Sabrina Carpenter to play the character.
