Out of this world? Critic reviews for The Super Mario Galaxy Movie have just dropped ahead of the film’s theatrical release tomorrow, 1st April 2026. And, folks, it looks like it’s another mixed bag if early reviews are to go by. We haven’t had a chance to watch the movie early, and we’ll have our…
It’s a big day for World of Warcraft secret finders. The final steps of a puzzle that took them over a year to solve have been discovered. Specifically, the 11th and 12th orbs that surround the mysterious Felcycle mount have been lit and the secret is, well, no longer a secret. A little over a…
With its latest patch for Marathon, Bungie has decided that the haunting, derelict expanse of Tau Ceti IV is stressful enough without any adrenaline-crazed acrobats launching themselves across your screen like frenzied, gun-toting cybergibbons. Marathon is now, officially, a No Movement Freak Zone. In its patch notes for Marathon update 1.0.5.2, Bungie says it’s fixed…

This lapsed Arc Raiders player was not ready for the Flashpoint update. I hopped into a Blue Gate match with the new Close Scrutiny condition aiming to have a firsthand encounter with the Vaporizer, the fresh ARC drone unleashed topside. Mistake! The first thing I witnessed upon emerging from spawn was the crimson glow of…
I’ve always been a fan of the idea of Cyberpunk 2077’s ripperdocs and their many counterparts across fictional cyberpunk dystopias. It’s a lovely bit of backwards-working worldbuilding: you want every thug and gangster on the street to have a metal limb and robot eyes because it looks rad, but how do you explain where they’re…
It’s almost time for another Dawntrail-era update, so that means the Final Fantasy 14 Moogle Treasure Trove event is back with a little something to do until patch 7.5 drops on April 28. This time, we’re on the “Hunt for Aphorism” and have new ways to obtain old rewards through alternative (often easier) methods. I’ll…
Another for the collection. If you’re a fan of Zelda books like Hyrule Historia, Art & Artifacts, and Creating a Champion, then good news: another is on the way!
