What makes games like this so enjoyable is the feeling of overcoming difficult challenges and exceeding expectations. Many gamers relish a tough fight when the odds are stacked against them. This idea of an unlikely hero rising to greatness is a classic trope, seen in stories like The Lord of the Rings, and it clearly resonates with people – even if it doesn’t appeal to everyone. If you’re looking for a game where you can experience that journey from underdog to hero, these are the games to play.

The Paldean Wonders expansion focuses mainly on Pokémon from the ninth generation, featuring all three Paldean starter Pokémon and their evolutions. It includes five brand-new ex cards, as well as shiny versions of some existing ex cards, giving players lots of exciting new cards to collect from the latest Pokémon TCG Pocket packs.

As a huge Xbox fan, I’ve been consistently impressed with Game Pass. It’s just such a great value for getting access to so many games! What really sets it apart from PlayStation Plus or Nintendo Switch Online, for me, is that Microsoft puts some of their biggest new releases on Game Pass right when they come out. I’m especially excited about playing Forza Horizon 6 and Fable without having to buy them separately! They’ve already announced a bunch of games coming in March 2026, and at least one will be available on day one. Plus, it’s awesome that they include older, classic games too – it’s a great way to rediscover some of the best games ever made!

With anticipation for the Switch 2 and its potential to revitalize the Pokemon series, some gamers have been exploring other monster-collecting games as possible alternatives. Voidling Bound, the debut title from Hatchery Games, offers a unique take on the genre. Players discover, hatch, and evolve strange alien creatures called Voidlings. Unlike traditional turn-based combat, battles in Voidling Bound are action-packed and happen in real time, requiring players to aim weapons, dodge attacks, and work together with their adorable alien companions.

A new analysis reveals critical vulnerabilities in nuclear power plant security stemming from the rapidly approaching era of quantum computing.

Bitwise, a San Francisco-based crypto asset manager with $15 billion in assets (or “digital gold” if you’re feeling poetic), has acquired Chorus One, a staking provider with $2.2 billion in staked assets. The deal folds Chorus One into Bitwise Onchain Solutions, a division that now sounds less like a tech startup and more like a Kafkaesque bureaucratic nightmare.

Pokemon GO is constantly updated with events and new Pokemon to keep players engaged, and March promises some exciting content. Super Mega Raids are starting at the end of February and running until March 1st, and a special Community Day featuring Scorbunny will also be happening in March.

If you want to craft anything in Resident Evil 7, you’ll always need either Chem Fluid or Strong Chem Fluid. After that, you’ll also need items like Gunpowder, Herbs, Solid Fuel, and Supplements. The specific type of Chem Fluid you use changes what you can make. If you craft every single recipe in the game, you’ll earn the “1st Place at the Science Fair” Trophy/Achievement. Because Supplements are the hardest item to find, be sure to save them!
