In an interview with GamesRadar at gamescom latam 2026, Remedy’s Sam Lake explained that he initially envisioned Control as the first step towards building an RPG franchise. He wanted to explore what that kind of game would look like if it were made by Remedy, and Control was a way for the team to experiment and learn how to achieve that goal. He essentially built Control as a starting point for a larger RPG project.

Among the potential heroes for a Masters of the Universe movie, Stratos stands out. As the leader of the Bird People of Avion, he quickly becomes a valuable ally to He-Man in the original cartoon series. Having a flying hero with a jetpack for extra speed was a great asset, and proved useful to He-Man both in the cartoon and the accompanying mini-comics.

We’re focusing on the DC Animated Universe, or DCAU. It started with the highly praised show Batman: The Animated Series and continued through Justice League Unlimited. The universe officially ended with the 13th episode of Justice League Unlimited‘s third season, appropriately named “Destroyer.” This episode featured the Legion of Doom teaming up with the Justice League to fight a revived Darkseid, concluding the series with a suitably grand battle.

Often, when books are adapted for television, the source material tends to be shorter works, like standalone science fiction novels. TV shows have the advantage of being able to develop characters and plotlines more fully than these books sometimes allow. They can also explore themes in greater detail. Several successful sci-fi adaptations, including one from The CW based on a young adult series, demonstrate that a TV show can sometimes be even better than the original book.

It’s true – the latest financial report from the Japanese developer shows very strong results for the first half of the year, according to Automaton.

Disaster movies, even the really cheesy ones, can be surprisingly fun! They’re a mix of science fiction and action, and often completely over-the-top. Luckily, streaming services make it easier than ever to find and watch them. Here are five of the best of the ‘worst’ currently available on various streaming platforms, including some free options.

It’s clear that The Punisher: One Last Kill focuses heavily on action, throwing numerous villains at Frank Castle for him to defeat. However, the story’s main crime boss adds an important layer of backstory from the wider Marvel Universe. While not essential to understand the plot, knowing this history makes the story more meaningful.

Alpha began as an ally to Spider-Man, initially as a hero and sidekick. Created by Dan Slott and Humberto Ramos, he first appeared in The Amazing Spider-Man #692 in 2012 as part of Spider-Man’s 50th anniversary celebration. His powers – including energy blasts, super strength, speed, force fields, and flight – came from a failed experiment by Peter Parker at Horizon Labs. Reed Richards warned that these abilities could make him a major threat, so Peter temporarily removed them. This ultimately led Alpha to become a villain, and he repeatedly clashed with the Superior Spider-Man.
