LEGO often announces new products well in advance, and because of its complex supply chain, information about them frequently leaks online. While it’s unusual for stores to sell items before their official release date, it does happen. Recently, a Target store in Utah accidentally put a new puppy-themed LEGO set on sale early.
The anime and manga series One Piece is now in the Elbaf arc, kicking off the epic final battles of the story. This part introduces Luffy and his crew to Imu and the World Government, making it a particularly thrilling chapter created by author Eiichiro Oda.
Many multiplayer games now require a constant internet connection to play. Unfortunately, this means that when game servers don’t perform as well as developers hoped, those games can be shut down, even if people are still playing them. A recent example is Anthem, which Electronic Arts (EA) took offline seven years after its release. EA explained that because Anthem was built to always be online, it’s no longer possible to play the game.
Despite sharing the bleak atmosphere of other zombie games, Quarantine Zone: The Last Check sets itself apart with its unique system of screening survivors for infection. Players face difficult choices: they must assess the health of new arrivals, manage limited resources, and make tough moral decisions to protect the safety of those already sheltered in the outpost. This focuses on a less-explored aspect of the zombie genre, adding a new layer of complexity and emotional weight.
Many excellent games in this style focus on player choice and role-playing over simply improving numbers. These games let you shape how characters react, battles unfold, and quests progress, without needing high levels or powerful equipment. Instead of relying on stats like strength, they give you meaningful control through extensive conversations and complex decisions that truly impact the game world.
Akira Toriyama had an incredible understanding of his characters, and the way Dragon Ball was presented in the manga – the panel layout and storytelling – was truly exceptional, even for its time.

While basic weapons can be made right from your inventory, more powerful weapons require a special crafting station.

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!

After Riot Games cancelled Hytale, Simon Collins-Laflamme, the founder of Hypixel Studios, worked with them to buy the game back.
