As a Pokémon fan, I’m so hyped for the Mega Dimension DLC in Pokémon Legends: Z-A! It’s bringing back a ton of Pokémon I love, and even better, it’s introducing new Mega Evolutions! To explore this cool new area called Hyperspace Lumiose, you have to earn points by doing research tasks for a character named Corbeau, who’s part of this group called the Rust Syndicate. It sounds like a really interesting way to unlock more of the game!

Arcanine is a strong Fire-type Pokémon with a history stretching back to the very first games. Because Fire-type Pokémon were rare in those early titles, Arcanine was a particularly valuable pick for players who chose Squirtle or Bulbasaur as their starter. Even today, its high Attack, Special Attack, and Speed stats make it a great choice for battling Grass, Steel, Ice-type Pokémon, and many others.

Whether a game features fast-paced action, strategic turn-based battles, or something else entirely, some players are looking for truly innovative combat. They want a system so impressive that anything less will feel disappointing. Here are some games that deliver that level of quality in their combat.

So far, 2025 has been a busy year for Minecraft! Mojang, the game’s developer, changed how they release updates, moving to a new system called “game drops.” This allows them to add new features and content more quickly. We’ve already seen three game drops this year: Spring to Life in March, Chase the Skies in June, and The Copper Age in September. Now, as the year comes to a close, Mojang has released another new game drop.

After some disappointment with the Edge of Fate expansion, Destiny 2 players seem much happier with the new Renegades update. While it’s not flawless, the expansion has been well-received, largely due to its Star Warsinspired elements, fresh weapons and armor, and the engaging new Lawless Frontier gameplay—which shares similarities with games like Helldivers 2*. Bungie is continuing to improve the game, with a significant update released on December 9th.

As a Pokémon fan, I’m so hyped for the Mega Dimension DLC for Pokémon Legends: Z-A! It’s bringing Hoopa and Zeraora into the game, which is amazing, but what really has me excited is that Pokémon can now go above level 100! That’s a first for any Pokémon game, and I can’t wait to train them up!

Here’s a recap of the highlights from Slitherine Next 2025 – celebrating their 25th anniversary! If you weren’t able to watch the live stream, you can view the full recording here.

Once you’ve finished the main story and seen the credits in Pokémon Legends: Z-A, you can begin the Mega Dimension DLC immediately after downloading an update. You’ll receive a notification that a new side quest has become available at the top of Hotel Z.

As a gamer, I’ve definitely noticed how much drama cosmetics can cause! It seems like developers are always trying to come up with cool skins that everyone will want. Games like Fortnite are all about bright, over-the-top stuff, which fits the game’s style perfectly, and they’re always bringing in crossovers – I’ve seen John Cena and Snoop Dogg running around in there! Call of Duty is doing the same thing, with celebrities like Seth Rogan and Nicki Minaj as playable characters. Honestly, these crossovers sell really well, which helps keep these big online games going. But it’s not always smooth sailing. With Battlefield 6, a lot of us in the community have been asking the developers to keep the cosmetics more realistic, since the game is supposed to feel grounded. It’s created a bit of a conflict – some players want flashy stuff, and others want things to fit the game’s serious tone, and it’s caused a lot of debate.
