The first Resident Evil movie came out on March 15, 2002, and it was a decent horror film, even though it didn’t really follow the story of the video game – it just shared some of the same creatures. While it started as a pretty good, scary movie, the series quickly became much more exaggerated. Sometimes the sequels would reference the game, but other times they strayed far from the source material.

Allowing players to create their own levels was a brilliant way to capture the imagination and turn fans into game designers, giving the community a real impact on the game. This idea really took off with Super Mario Maker and Super Mario Maker 2, both of which were incredibly popular because they blended classic gameplay with endless creativity. Despite the success of those games, a third installment hasn’t been announced. Now, with the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2, Nintendo has a perfect chance to finish the series and fulfill a long-held dream for many Mario fans – myself included.

Storm has long been a central and incredibly powerful mutant, and her influence has only increased over time. This is evident in her roles as regent of Mars and, later, as a goddess and Avatar of Life. Despite achieving such extraordinary status, one of her most memorable recent moments is surprisingly down-to-earth. In a world often defined by conflict between humans and mutants, Storm serves as a reminder of the X-Men’s original ideals.

One of the best things about reviewing video games is getting the chance to play titles you might not normally pick up. This often means discovering new franchises or genres, which can be surprisingly rewarding.

From March 2nd to 8th, the movie Deepwater Horizon – which tells the true story of the oil rig explosion – ranked as the 7th most popular film on Netflix in the U.S. It outperformed movies like Trolls, Kpop Demon Hunters, and Joe’s College Road Trip to reach the top 10, marking its first week on the chart.

The Perfect Order Pokémon TCG set includes three main products: an Elite Trainer Box featuring Mega Zygarde, a Booster Bundle, and a Booster Display Box. It’s a standard release focused on providing booster packs, without the extras found in special collections. Overall, Perfect Order is a solid addition to the Pokémon TCG. While it doesn’t have a ton of flashy cards, it does include some interesting Illustration Rares and a few cards players will likely use in their decks. It’s not the most exciting set recently, but it’s certainly not a bad one either.

Ten years ago, in 2016, Capcom and Marvelous launched Monster Hunter Stories, a new branch of the popular Monster Hunter franchise. While still an action RPG like the main Monster Hunter games, Stories offers a different experience. You play as a Rider instead of a Hunter, and battles take place using a turn-based system. Although not as widely known as the core Monster Hunter series, Stories has been successful enough to see three games released in a decade, and each new installment has received better reviews than the last.

The series has recently become much more exciting. Over the last three episodes, the story picked up as new characters, Methode and Genau, appeared while the powerful demon, General Revolte, threatened a village. The heroes had a clear mission: defeat Revolte. The latest episode showed this battle with impressive animation, bringing the arc to a thrilling conclusion with higher stakes. Stark and Genau fought the main villain, while Fern and Methode dealt with the other demons. Now that this major storyline is finished, it’s pretty clear what the rest of the season will focus on.

While all Marvel heroes face challenges, some receive an unfair amount of criticism. These heroes desperately need a rest, a chance to escape the constant pressures of their lives. Here are seven Marvel characters who could really benefit from a break from the superhero grind.
