As a Forza fan, I was blown away by the numbers for Forza Horizon 6! Forza Horizon 5 had a huge launch, peaking at over 81,000 players on Steam, which was amazing. But Horizon 6 absolutely smashed that record, hitting over 181,000 players before it was even widely released – just those who got the Premium Edition! It’s incredible to see how much the series is growing.

I’ve noticed a ton of horror games lately that aren’t about straight-up scares. A lot of them are actually pretty funny and lighthearted, honestly, and sometimes even funnier than the horror movies they’re based on!

The Nintendo Switch 2 is performing better than expected with newer games, including recent titles like Pragmata and Resident Evil Requiem. Mobile gaming has come a long way since the original Switch came out, with devices such as the Steam Deck and ROG Ally now capable of running many demanding games on the go. But if you’re looking for the best possible frame rates and a super smooth gaming experience, particularly with certain Capcom games, there are ways to boost the Switch 2’s performance.
The upcoming Pokémon Winds and Waves is expected to introduce a new battle mechanic focused on weather effects, continuing a trend that’s been present in Pokémon games since Generation 5. Almost every new game released since then has included a unique twist on traditional battles.

Zoro will be facing Super Sommers, while Sanji’s opponent in Elbaph is the incredibly dangerous Super Killingham, who possesses the power of the Kirin mythical zoan fruit. This fight promises to be thrilling for fans, and it’s expected to be the catalyst for Sanji’s growth to the level of the Four Emperors. Specifically, he’ll gain the ability needed to defeat the Holy Knights – the awakening of Conqueror’s Haki, a power-up fans have anticipated for a decade.
It’s pretty certain someone would play an open-world Lord of the Rings game, but a more interesting question is when it would take place. The game’s setting would heavily influence the story and the player’s goals. Luckily, there are many possible time periods to choose from.
