Players who purchase the Premium Edition or the Premium Upgrade with Game Pass will be able to start playing on May 15th.

Man, Wolfenstein 3D is basically where all modern shooters started, and it’s still a huge deal in gaming. It’s been on so many different consoles and PCs, and you can see its influence in pretty much every shooter out there. With the anniversary coming up, I’ve been thinking about how it all went down, how quickly it changed gaming, and whether it still holds up against everything it kicked off. It’s crazy to think about how much impact one game can have!
The Marvel Cinematic Universe has seen its share of surprising character deaths over the years.

Like all game platforms, PlayStation occasionally releases games with issues that need fixing after launch. Even some of the most anticipated PS5 titles have launched with flaws. One game, Lost Soul Aside, received particularly harsh criticism at first, with players quickly sharing funny videos of its bugs and awkward voice acting.

Years ago, the online retailer GameDealer.com created a funny advertisement featuring characters from Berserk and Tomb Raider. It showed Guts and Lara Croft together, with the tagline, “Guts and Lara would play with each other…not with you.” The crossover was inspired by the 1999 Sega Dreamcast game, Sword of The Berserk: Guts’ Rage. This game expanded the Berserk story with a new threat, using the heroes’ memories against them. While several Berserk games have been released over the years, the Dreamcast version remains particularly memorable. You can see the amusing advertisement below.
While at the premiere of the Shadow Lord Season 1 finale, Sam Witwer discussed how the show has given his character, Darth Maul, a chance to evolve beyond his origins in The Phantom Menace. He explained that Maul has never had time for self-reflection, always being driven by fear and a desire for power. This series, however, allows Maul to pause and consider his own motivations and what heroism means to him. Witwer noted that Maul’s approach to saving people differs from both Obi-Wan Kenobi and Palpatine, and that Maul himself would see a clear distinction between his methods and Palpatine’s – though audiences might disagree, seeing striking similarities.
