Games

We’re now in the second year of the Absolute Universe, and things are heating up with even bigger dangers ahead. The new series, Absolute Wonder Woman, recently introduced a team similar to the Suicide Squad, and characters like Poison Ivy and Black Adam will be appearing soon. However, the latest issue of the popular Absolute Martian Manhunter comic introduces a completely unexpected and potentially very cunning new villain – one that could be the most dangerous threat we’ve seen yet.

Honestly, as a fighting game fan, I’m a little worried about Injustice 3. It’s not the game itself, but what’s been happening at Warner Bros. and DC lately. They’re completely rebooting the DC universe with the new Superman movie coming in 2025, and that’s under new leadership with James Gunn running things. Plus, with Warner Bros. merging with Discovery and then Netflix, they’ve already cancelled a bunch of games they were working on. It just makes me wonder if Injustice 3 will really happen, or if it’ll get caught up in all the changes.

I’m so excited – there’s a giveaway happening right now where you can get Heavy Rain for free! If you haven’t played it, it’s an awesome action-adventure game originally made by the French studio Quantic Dream back in 2010, and it was a PlayStation 3 exclusive for a while. Later, in 2016, they released a remastered version for the PS4, and then in 2020 it finally came to PC, so more people could enjoy it!

Here are five great movies that deal with comic books without actually being a comic book movie.

Netflix recently announced a new series coming from Taiwan called “Bloody Smart.” The show, which is based on a popular anime and has been in the works for three years, used a Kickstarter campaign to fund its special effects. Given how terrifying the creatures, like the Hanging Balloons, look in the series, that funding was clearly put to good use! Instead of adapting one specific story, “Bloody Smart” seems to be blending characters and tales from various works by the original creator into a single, new series. You can get a sneak peek at one of those spooky Hanging Balloons in action below.

Last year, after many years of being engaged, Moe’s fiancé Maya reappeared on The Simpsons in Season 37, explaining her long absence. However, fans noticed something strange: the Spanish dub of the episode, available on Disney+ internationally, completely cut out Maya’s return. It’s as if her appearance never happened in that version of the show, as pointed out by a user on X (@SimpsonDoblaje).

It’s been almost thirty years since Final Fantasy VII was released, and it’s still considered a landmark game – not just for role-playing games, but for the entire gaming world. Many believe Final Fantasy VII’s success actually changed gaming, even beyond Japanese RPGs. Let’s take a look at how Square Enix’s hit title reshaped the gaming landscape.

I really enjoyed A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, and thought it was a fantastic adaptation of George R.R. Martin’s Tales of Dunk and Egg. It felt like a welcome change for the series. However, opinions seem to be mixed. As of today, critics give the first season a 95% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, while general audiences only give it 64%. This creates some interesting records for the show within the larger franchise on that review site, including:

While Game of Thrones became the defining sword and sorcery show of the 2010s, building on the popularity of earlier series like Conan the Barbarian and Xena: Warrior Princess (despite their sometimes over-the-top style), there are actually several other fantastic shows in this genre that don’t get enough attention. If you enjoy sword and sorcery and are searching for something new, these seven underrated shows are worth watching.

If you’re not looking for something that makes you question life’s big mysteries while watching a futuristic city glow with lights, this might not be for you. It doesn’t offer easy answers or neat resolutions. Instead, it challenges you and makes you uncomfortable. If you want to be amazed and feel a little overwhelmed by the meaning of existence, cyberpunk anime is exactly what you need.
