Games

It’s frustrating to see games become targets in culture wars, and it’s happening again with the upcoming God of War remakes. We’ve seen this before – unnecessary backlash over minor details, like harassment of character models in Marvel’s Spider-Man, the hateful reaction to The Last of Us 2, and attempts to sexualize or “fix” characters like Aloy from Horizon. It’s often the same people who praise games like Stellar Blade for superficial reasons. Complaints about characters looking “too old” (like in the Dead Space remake) or having female representation (as seen with Battlefield 6) are just more examples. Now, a completely unimportant sex mini-game in God of War is likely to spark similar, pointless controversy, and it’s incredibly disappointing.

Many beloved anime series are reaching or have already surpassed the 20-year mark. 2006 was a particularly strong year for new shonen anime, and some of those shows have become true classics. Here’s a look at some of the most memorable shonen anime celebrating their 20th anniversary this year.

Season 1 is ending soon, and many players are curious about the release of Season 2. Fortunately, Battlefield Studios has announced the release date and details in a new blog post. Here’s a summary of when you can expect Season 2 and what new content it will include.

For many years, first-person shooter games have often featured weak stories, typically casting players as flawless heroes who always manage to save the day on their own. But real life isn’t like that – it’s rarely about one person being a superhero.

A game’s difficulty isn’t the only thing that matters – how well it teaches you the ropes is crucial too. Even simple games can seem impossible without a good tutorial. Conversely, some incredibly challenging games throw you into the deep end with little to no explanation. This list highlights those games, and explains why their tough, unforgiving approach actually works.

I’ve always been a fan of Jetpack Cat – maybe because I love cats, or just the funny idea behind the character. With other unusual heroes like Winston and Wrecking Ball already in the game, I hoped Jetpack Cat would eventually join the Overwatch lineup. Now that she’s here, I’m thrilled with this quirky new addition! Her connection to Brigitte’s story is sweet, it’s awesome that Jennifer Hale voices her, and she’s genuinely fun to play thanks to her unique abilities. While she might be too powerful for competitive play right now, she’s definitely brought a lot of attention to the game, which is great. With Jetpack Cat proving how popular these unconventional heroes can be, I’m hoping Blizzard adds Mama Hong – a long-time fan favorite – to the roster soon.

Charlotte Katakuri is a very popular villain in the One Piece series. He was a powerful opponent for Luffy and the Straw Hat Pirates during the Whole Island arc, serving as the strongest of the Sweet Commanders under Big Mom. Luffy fought Katakuri in the Mirror World to allow his crew to escape and continue their journey.

As you begin your journey on the Path of Kamoya and approach the first Shrine, you’ll notice the Six Jizo statues to your left. However, keep following the path until you reach the second Shrine in Kamo Village, which will be directly ahead. Activate that Shrine, then turn around and continue straight until you see a Spirit Vein leading upwards.
