Square Enix (formerly known as Squaresoft) encountered a similar issue with their PlayStation 1 game, Racing Lagoon. It wasn’t a typical racing game; it combined fast-paced street racing with in-depth RPG character development and a story told like a Japanese role-playing game. Despite being made by a well-respected developer and offering a unique design, Racing Lagoon was never released outside of Japan. This meant that a truly original racing RPG remained largely unknown to players in the West, even those who actively search for rare PlayStation games. If Square Enix had chosen to release it more widely, Racing Lagoon could have become a major racing franchise.

One of the earliest examples of a survival game is The Oregon Trail. Though many remember the popular graphic version from 1985 and later, it actually started as a simple text-based project in 1971. Players had to buy supplies, hunt for food, manage their inventory, and deal with challenges like bad weather and unfortunate accidents. The game ended when you either reached Oregon or succumbed to the hardships along the way. This combination of elements made it the first true survival game and, over the years, it has educated countless students.

If games leave the PS Plus service, your subscription will no longer give you access to them. You’ll need to purchase them directly from the PlayStation Store to keep playing. This is different from the PS Plus Essential tier – with other tiers, you lose access when the subscription period ends, even if you previously downloaded the game to your PlayStation account.

I was so excited to hear about Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse coming back! But the best part of the announcement is that Konami said this is just the start. They’re celebrating working with Motion Twin and Evil Empire, but they also hinted that there’s a lot more Castlevania content on the way, which is amazing! It sounds like we’re going to get even more games and projects, and I can’t wait to see what they come up with.

Emerald Fennell recently shared details about her canceled Zatanna movie during an appearance on the Happy Sad Confused podcast. She described how, after finishing Promising Young Woman, she found herself working in a new world – the DC universe, where J.J. Abrams had envisioned a supernatural section. Fennell’s take on the magical character Zatanna was meant to be unconventional. She wanted to portray a superhero whose great power came from a very personal and difficult emotional state. As she explained, she was aiming to create a superhero movie that felt emotionally relatable – specifically, one centered around a woman experiencing a crisis.

The new expansion will be available on February 19, 2026, for only $2.99. Although the story takes place years before the main game, it’s best experienced after completing it. You’ll play as Alba, who follows a path of white butterflies into dangerous swamps. There, she finds a lost and scared wolf cub and is determined to help it. The game focuses on Alba earning the wolf’s trust and guiding it through a damaged and wild landscape.

As a huge fan, I remember when Seinfeld was still building its audience heading into Season 2. Looking back at Season 1, it’s so clear they were still figuring things out – thankfully, they dropped some of those early ideas! It seems like the core team – Larry David, Larry Charles, Jerry Seinfeld, and director Tom Cherones – really hit their stride in Season 2, nailing that ironic, ‘show about nothing’ vibe that focused on everyday life. Interestingly, one episode almost broke the whole group apart, requiring a frantic rewrite. But that very episode ended up becoming a massive fan favorite and one of the highest-rated of the entire series – you just never know!
