It’s astonishing to observe how far video game graphics have come with recent technological advancements. These days, the visuals in many games are breathtakingly stunning, offering an immersive experience for enthusiasts who appreciate the otherworldly beauty found within them.
Generally speaking, Microsoft tends to remove titles from its subscription library every two weeks – once at the start and once in the middle. The most recent update to this rotating catalog occurred on August 16, during which Xbox Game Pass parted ways with three games: Anthem, Farming Simulator 22, and Persona 3 Reload.
A considerable number of top-notch games within their respective genres offer not just intricately designed adversaries to battle, but also a vast array of foes with diverse characteristics. This variety ensures that players aren’t repeatedly facing the same few enemies, keeping them anticipating what new challenges lie ahead.
As a dedicated fan, I’m thrilled to share that I’ve been following an extraordinary journey titled “Kaiju No. 8” (or “Monster #8” in English). Originally a Japanese manga series penned by the talented Naoya Matsumoto, it was later transformed into an anime. This epic tale unfolded over five years on Shonen Jump+, concluding in July 2024, and is also available in English on Manga Plus and through Viz Media.
The narrative revolves around me, or rather Kafka Hibino – a character who acquires the extraordinary ability to transform into a colossal creature known as kaiju. Using this power, he bravely takes on other kaiju. With an acclaimed anime adaptation under its belt and over 18 million manga copies in circulation worldwide, it’s no surprise that the series was greenlit for a video game adaptation, simply titled “Kaiju No. 8 The Game”, announced in June 2024. I can hardly contain my excitement for this new chapter in the Kaiju No. 8 universe!
In a social media post that could’ve been titled “Crypto Therapy 101,” Changpeng Zhao (CZ to his adoring fans-or frenemies?) dropped some golden advice on Aug. 29, 2025. He reminded investors what *not* to do when the market takes a nosedive:
Although the PlayStation 3’s library of Role-Playing Games (RPGs) isn’t as extensive as that of the PlayStation 1 or PlayStation 2, there’s still a wealth of enjoyable titles worth exploring, particularly in the RPG category. Similar to the PS3, these RPGs didn’t initially gain much attention but are certainly worthy of recognition. Here are some noteworthy examples from various RPG genres, including action and turn-based games.
It’s truly exciting for fans as the series “One Piece” is delving deeper into the character background of Rocks D. Xebec – a figure known among them for quite some time due to his notable reputation.
Moving beyond the excitement surrounding 2025’s blockbuster releases, Kyoto Animation unveiled “City: The Animated Series” in July. Unlike the intense dramas of recent shows such as “Solo Leveling” and “Infinity Castle,” this series offers a refreshing change with lighter themes that are perfect for viewers looking for something enjoyable and uplifting.
Fans have found the debut of Gears of War Reloaded to be a bit of a rollercoaster ride, as it’s sold well and gained popularity quickly on its new PS5 release and Game Pass Day 1 launch. However, the PC version of this game has been met with less enthusiasm, receiving mediocre reviews for frequent crashes, absent split-screen co-op, and other problems. Now, fans are adding another concern about Gears of War Reloaded, as it seems to be surfacing more often.
In the upcoming game known as Kingdom Hearts 4, our beloved series hero Sora will meet up with his pals from Disney and Final Fantasy once more, but this time in a setting that resembles Tokyo in the real world. It’s only fitting for a Kingdom Hearts journey if Sora explores worlds inspired by Disney franchises too, and rumors suggest that we might already know which ones he and his companions Donald and Goofy will be visiting in this new installment. However, it’s important to note that the authenticity of these locations has not been confirmed yet, so take any associated details with a grain of salt. If true, though, these locations could potentially contain spoilers for Kingdom Hearts 4.
