As a huge fan, I always say that Metal Gear Solid is one of the best games ever made! Everyone loved it when it came out, and for good reason. The stealth was incredible, the story was gripping and full of action, and the cutscenes were just amazing. But there’s this one part that still blows my mind: the Psycho Mantis fight. He somehow reads your memory card! If you’ve been playing other games on your PlayStation, he’ll actually mention them, which is so weird and breaks the immersion completely. The only way to beat him is to unplug your controller and plug it into the second player slot – it totally throws him off and turns him into a regular boss instead of this creepy guy who knows your gaming habits!

While a few sci-fi shows become classics, many more are quickly forgotten. Some deserve more attention, but most are simply unremarkable. Even among all the sci-fi shows that gain a following, there are always series that never quite break through and are largely unknown to the public.

Star Wars fans quickly figured out this background scene depicts Nal Hutta, the home planet of the Hutts. The details strongly suggest it’s Bilbousa, the planet’s capital city.

Tubi has secured the rights to a large collection of Looney Tunes content, making it the only place to watch Bugs Bunny and friends for the foreseeable future. In addition to the classic series, Tubi will also offer spin-offs featuring beloved Warner Bros. characters. Titles like Tiny Toon Adventures, Duck Dodgers, Loonatics Unleashed, and The Looney Tunes Show will be available, along with a show that hasn’t been on streaming for a while: Taz-Mania. The original Saturday morning cartoon from 1991 will premiere on Tubi on March 1st.

I recently discovered Herdling, a low-key game released in August 2025 that flew under the radar – I almost missed it myself! But after playing, it quickly became a favorite. It’s a cozy game that does things differently from typical life simulators. Developed by Okomotive, Herdling offers a delightful atmosphere, relaxing gameplay, and a lovely visual style. What truly sets it apart, though, is its surprisingly touching story, which is why I consider it the best cozy game of 2025.

On the latest episode of the Insider Gaming Weekly podcast, Tom Henderson revealed information from an internal Ubisoft announcement about several canceled games. These projects were at different stages of development, with some still known only by their code names. Besides the already announced cancellation of the Assassin’s Creed multiplayer game, Ubisoft also scrapped two other games that were part of the Assassin’s Creed franchise.

A Reddit user recently posted some promotional artwork for the upcoming Brand New Day storyline. One image shows Spider-Man and Hulk (wearing his classic shorts!) in the front, with shadowy figures of villains – probably Boomerang, Scorpion, and Tarantula – visible in the background. Other images give us a good look at Boomerang and Tarantula’s costumes. Plus, a user named SM Vision shared a photo of Marvin Jones III as Tombstone lifting Spider-Man during a fight. You can see all the images below!

The new Marvel show, Wonder Man, is enjoyable, but it’s quite different from the comic book version of the character. The show centers around Simon Williams, an actor trying to find success, and his unlikely partnership with Trevor Slattery. They’re both hoping to get cast in a Wonder Man movie being made within the Marvel Cinematic Universe. There’s just one problem: using superpowers while working in Hollywood is against the law.

Okay, fellow cartoon lovers, this is awesome news! I just read in The Hollywood Reporter that Turner Classic Movies has officially secured the rights to air classic Looney Tunes shorts on regular TV. And it’s a long-term deal – six years, to be exact! TCM is basically becoming the permanent home for these cartoons. They’re kicking things off this month with a bunch of Bugs Bunny shorts – 45 of them! – and he’s going to be their ‘Star of the Month.’ Seriously, I’m so excited to be able to catch these on TCM!

The sci-fi series Extant, starring Halle Berry, will be removed from Netflix on February 18th. Originally airing on CBS between 2014 and 2015, the show followed an astronaut’s return from a year-long solo space mission. Alongside Berry, the cast included Goran Visnjic, Pierce Gagnon, Michael O’Neill, and Jeffrey Dean Morgan (in Season 2). Though critically and popularly well-received, CBS cancelled Extant after two seasons due to falling ratings, expensive production costs, and changes in the storyline. The series was executive produced by Steven Spielberg.
