Many games have created immersive worlds in various ways – a great example is Cyberpunk 2077’s Night City, which is filled with flashy advertisements, battling groups, and memorable characters. However, that doesn’t make games like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild or Tears of the Kingdom any less impressive open worlds – they simply take a different approach to achieving that feeling. Of course, some games, like Starfield, struggle with this – despite discovering numerous planets with life, they often feel less naturally developed than others.

The heroes who form the Freedom Fighters first appeared as separate superheroes, originally published by Quality Comics in the early 1940s. The official Freedom Fighters team wasn’t created until DC Comics bought the rights to the characters in the 1970s. The core team consists of Uncle Sam, the Ray, Human Bomb, Phantom Lady, Black Condor, Doll Man, and Doll Woman. Each member has unique abilities: the Ray can fly and shoot energy; Human Bomb is essentially a walking nuclear explosion; Phantom Lady can teleport and control shadows; Black Condor flies with metal wings; and Doll Man and Doll Woman can become incredibly small. The Freedom Fighters were first presented as Earth-X’s final defense after the Nazis conquered the world.

At the end of the first season of the The Boys spinoff, Gen V, something major happens that completely disrupts life at Godolkin University. The situation escalates so much that even Homelander has to show up to try and control it. While we’ve seen the consequences of that event, one question remained unanswered until the middle of Season 2.

The Nintendo Switch 2 still hasn’t gotten its own new 3D Mario game, and we don’t know when one will be released. Until then, the best option is to revisit classic 3D Mario adventures, and that’s become easier this week with Super Mario Galaxy 1 + Super Mario Galaxy 2 now available on Switch. If you’re interested in playing a Mario game from the past, here’s a ranking of all the games based on how much fun they are to play again and again.

The Secret Wars Ice Man figure will be available starting October 7th for $27.99. It’s designed after the classic Marvel Comics Secret Wars limited series by Jim Shooter, Mike Zeck, and Ron Lim, and the toy line that came with it. This version updates the original translucent figure and includes a swap-out head, different hands, 2 ice blasts, an ice slide, a snowball, and a special shield-a nod to the original toy. It comes in packaging that looks like the retro cardbacks. We think it looks great, and if you’ve been collecting the Secret Wars figures, this will be a great addition. More details are available below.

On October 7th, the free-to-play skateboarding game will begin Season 1, which lasts until December 2nd. Check out this trailer for a quick preview of what’s coming:

Blood West initially became available on PC through Steam in Early Access on February 10, 2022, and then had its complete release on December 5, 2023. The expansion, “Dead Man’s Promise,” was released on December 18, 2024.
