EX cards are generally the most powerful in the game, with high attack and HP, so when Pokemon TCG Pocket announced its Deluxe Packs, many fans were excited. These packs guaranteed a rare card – or better – and often included multiple EX cards, though they contained only four cards instead of the usual five. Players loved them because of the high-quality cards they received and the ability to easily collect promo cards to complete their EX collections. Now, these popular, limited-edition Deluxe Packs are available once again.

As a huge fan of the Game of Thrones world, I was thrilled to hear about another prequel just two years after the original series ended! Now, we’re all counting down the days until HBO brings George R.R. Martin’s Tales of Dunk and Egg to life on screen. It’s going to focus on the adventures of Ser Duncan the Tall and his squire, Egg, and it’s officially set to premiere on HBO on Sunday, January 18, 2026, at 10 pm Eastern and Pacific time. I’ve already marked my calendar!

The new trailer showed off what’s coming in The Sims 4: Royalty and Legacy expansion pack. We’ve put together a summary to help fans understand all the exciting new features.

As a PC gamer, I’ve noticed that Epic Games Store usually gives away free games for a whole week, which is awesome! But sometimes, during their mystery game promos, you only have 24 hours to grab them – so you really have to be quick! Steam is a bit different though. There’s no real pattern to how long games stay free on Steam, so you just have to check regularly to make sure you don’t miss out on any freebies.

Studio Pierrot has created some truly amazing and influential anime. Their work is so impressive that they’ve set a high standard for others in the industry, and many newer studios look to Pierrot for inspiration.

After Riot Games cancelled Hytale, Simon Collins-Laflamme, the founder of Hypixel Studios, worked with them to buy the game back. The deal closed in November 2025, and Collins-Laflamme announced a quick launch for fans through early access. Hytale officially released as a standalone game on January 13th, quickly earning praise from both players and critics for its gameplay and world design. Now, the game has received a significant update, adding lots of new content, including several interesting creatures.

Ubisoft hasn’t officially confirmed or denied the rumors about a Black Flag remake, so it’s best to be skeptical until more information is available.

I’m not saying I’ve never taken advantage of pre-orders. My husband pre-ordered Animal Crossing: New Horizons to get it as soon as it came out, and my dad pre-ordered Super Mario Galaxy to avoid the Christmas rush (he claims Santa sent him!). But when it comes to spending my own money, I’ve never been swayed by hype. I always wait, read reviews, and then buy something when I’m confident it’s the right choice. So, it’s surprising, even to me, that The Sims 4 might be the first game I buy without waiting.

Ryan Hurst, best known for his role as Opie Winston in Sons of Anarchy, has been confirmed to play Kratos in the new series. He previously worked on the project, providing the voice for Thor in God of War Ragnarok.

When you first see this materia near the spinning blades, Tifa will point it out, but you can’t reach it yet. It’s worth going back for, though – it unlocks one of the most helpful summons in Final Fantasy 7 Remake.
