Amazon MGM Studios and Sony Pictures Television have announced their upcoming Prime Video God of War show has cast God of War Ragnarok veteran Ryan Hurst to play Kratos.

Amazon MGM Studios ended its search for a star for the latest live-action video game adaptation today, kick-starting the casting process with one of the biggest (and angriest) names in the history of PlayStation. Many details about the God of War series’ plot remain under wraps, though it is said to fall in line with the 2018 game reboot, which follows Kratos and his son, Atreus, as they travel in hopes of spreading their loved one’s ashes.

After about 10 hours in Hytale, the new survival crafter from some former Minecraft modders, there really isn't a better way I could describe it other than to say it's basically Minecraft 2. From the block-by-block breaking and building, to the stylized environments and enemies, to the procedural world generation, this feels like the, "What would we change if we had the chance to start over again?" version of the now legendary 2009 classic. Many games have been influenced by Mojang's trendsetter, but this is more of a cover song than a subgenre from what I’ve seen so far (though I’ve got plenty more to play before my final review). And while developer Hypixel Studios’ lawyers might not love hearing me say that, I honestly don't think it's a bad thing. Even in Early Access, it's a good cover!

All of the gameplay will be pretty familiar if you've put any time at all into Minecraft, but with some streamlining here and there. You no longer have to begin your journey punching trees, for instance, since basic tools are made with sticks and rubble that can be collected easily with your bare hands. Also, breaking the trunk of a tree will cause everything above it to collapse and drop its resources, which was almost enough to win me over on its own. I still to this day hate having to chop upwards to hollow out a tree in Minecraft!

Movement is also a lot more modern and fluid. You can jump up to three blocks high and pull yourself up, which feels like such a huge quality-of-life improvement over the one-block jump limit in Minecraft. It's even possible to take a running leap at a ledge, hit the side, and pull yourself up. We've got proper parkour now, and I don't know that I would ever want to give it up.

It also just runs better than Minecraft on my Ryzen 7 3700X, 32GB RAM, and RTX 4070 Ti-powered system. Even with the draw distance cranked up, my framerates sit comfortably above 60. We'll see how long that lasts when I start building elaborate megastructures, but for now it's like butter.

Combat is fine. There are a handful of different weapon types, from swift-slashing double daggers to a classic sword and shield setup with more defensive options, and every one has its own unique charge attack and a special meter that can be filled up to release a devastating finisher. I'm impressed with the enemy variety so far, with everything from goblin bomb-throwers to really terrifying lava toads that can catch you with their tongues and pull you in for a very painful bite attack.

Building can be a little bit fiddly. We have more pieces to pick from, like proper roofs that make Minecraft's classic stair tricks redundant. But sometimes I had to do silly stuff like building a dirt "mold" to make sure all the pieces were facing the right way. Still, once I got the hang of its quirks, I was able to start making some pretty neat-looking stuff.

There's very little direction in this Early Access version of Hytale, currently. The main hub area, the Forgotten Temple, is a rotunda of literal Under Construction signs. I even stumbled into some dungeons out in the world where I'd be excited to throw the doors open only to find one of these disappointing barriers. It's not clear what the larger, overarching goal is supposed to be, although I'm happy enough to build cool stuff and seek out new ores for higher-level tools at the moment. But I'm not sure if there will eventually be a story or bigger bosses to find or anything like that. I haven't run into them yet if they exist already.

Overall, I'm quite enjoying my time with Hytale so far, though. Even if it is just Minecraft again, it's an enjoyable rendition with some thoughtful tweaks and additions. It's almost like someone's wishlist of things Mojang will never do, or can't do with its legacy tech. I plan to put in at least a few dozen more hours before I give it a final evaluation, but check back for more updates on my progress in the coming week.

The first Paramount+ price increase since 2024 is set to go live on Thursday, January 15. The basic and premium subscriptions will both be receiving a $1 bump while the annual plans will see a much larger increase. In addition to the price increases, the Paramount+ free trial for new subscribers is also coming to an end. All of these changes are coming to the service just ahead of the first UFC fight being streamed on the service on January 24, 2026.

Paramount announced the increased prices back in November 2025 during its Q3 2025 earnings report. The timing of the price increase definitely makes it seem they likely due to the addition of UFC fights coming to the platform, starting with UFC 324 on January 24. Previously, all major UFC fights were following a PPV model and were only available through an ESPN+ subscription. Now that ESPN+ no longer exists (it's ESPN Unlimited now), new fights will be shown live on Paramount+. You can check out the full schedule of upcoming fights directly from the Paramount+ website.

Last Chance to Avoid the Price Hike for UFC Fights

We've entered the final week of Amazon's huge 4K UHD movie sale (it ends January 19). Some titles have gone out of stock, but a wide selection of movies is still available. You can check out the whole list here. To get the discount, all you need to do is add three eligible movies to your cart, and they'll drop to $11 each at checkout.

Get 3 4K Movies for $33 in Massive Amazon Sale

Finding three movies to buy shouldn’t be a problem, because many of the eligible titles are all-timers. We’re talking stone-cold classics like The Big Lebowski, Inception, The Shining, and Inglourious Basterds. Additionally, a number of new releases are in here as well, like Sinners, F1: The Movie, and Jurassic World: Rebirth.

To risk sounding like a used-car salesman, that’s not all, folks. If you want more than three movies, additional picks ring up for $11 apiece as well. So, as far as I’ve seen, there’s no limit to how many movies you can pile on here to get them at a hefty discount

Basically, anyone interested in bulking up their 4K movie collection will likely find plenty of interest here. Stanley Kubrick's The Shining is on here, alongside other Stephen King adaptations like Shawshank Redemption and The Green Mile. Paul Thomas Anderson’s Phantom Thread is on here, as is Spielberg’s Schindler’s List.

Horror movies are well represented here, with stand-outs like The Conjuring: Last Rites, HIM, and Megan 2.0, alongside classics like The Thing and The Shining. All sorts of Batman movies are in here, including the 1989 Tim Burton original. If you’re interested in having a few laughs, you can pick up cringe comedies like Meet the Parents and American Pie. Thriller fans can grab The Fugitive, The Town, and The Sting.

Basically, whatever kinds of movies you’re into, you’ll find plenty of excellent examples on the list to pick up. I’ve seen lots of these sales over the years, and the best movies do tend to sell out well before the sale ends, so you’d be well advised to grab what you want sooner than later. In any case, the sale ends January 19, so be sure to make your selections before then.

In other 4K movie news, a trio of excellent new Arrow releases are also on sale right now: the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles trilogy, The Mask, and Spawn. Solid '90s bangers all.

Hellboy star Ron Perlman has expressed his bemusement at the Fallout franchise and his legendary status within it as narrator of all the video games, joking he was paid "$40 and a sandwich" to record his iconic “war never changes” line for Fallout 1.

Perlman first recorded the "war never changes" line as part of the intro for 1997's Fallout video game. He's played the narrator for pretty much every Fallout video game since, with the "war never changes" line becoming seared into the memories of a legion of fans. It’s a line that even made it into Amazon’s Fallout TV show, although Perlman didn’t say it himself.

Marvel's Star Wars: Legacy of Vader series has been busy filling in the yearlong gap between The Last Jedi and The Rise of Skywalker. Past issues have revealed what the Knights of Ren were up to during this period and even chronicled a surprise reunion between Kylo Ren and the ghost of Luke Skywalker. Now, as the series reaches its conclusion, we learn what happens when Ben Solo enters his grandfather's secret vault in Fortress Vader and actually battles Darth Vader himself.

What ultimate prize lies within the vault? How does this issue set up Ben Solo's redemption in Episode IX? Read on to learn more, but beware of full spoilers for Star Wars: Legacy of Vader #12 ahead!

From the start, this series has followed Kylo Ren as he assumes control of the First Order and attempts to kill his past and become the all-powerful ruler he believes he's destined to be. That quest has taken Ben to Mustafar and the abandoned halls of Fortress Vader, where only Vader's former manservant Vaneé remains to carry a torch for the former Dark Lord of the Sith.

Now, even Vaneé is dead, and nothing is stopping Ben from entering the mysterious vault at the heart of Fortress Vader. When he does, he finds not some terrible Sith artifact or ancient power source, but Darth Vader himself. Echoing Luke's journey into the cave in The Empire Strikes Back, Vader tells Ben that the only voices he'll hear in the vault are those he brings with him.

2026 has already seen recent surges in the cost of DDR5 RAM and higher end Nvidia GPUs. Unfortunately this also affects the price of prebuilt gaming PCs, which is also expected to rise through this year. Obviously this isn't an ideal time to be buying new computer parts, but if that's not stopping you from upgrading, I would suggest jumping on a deal you find now rather than waiting a little longer. There are still good deals to be found.

Good morning, everyone! If you, like me, popped open Animal Crossing: New Horizons before work today for a stroll around your island, you were greeted with a pleasant surprise: the 3.0 update just dropped a day early, and the Hotel is officially open for business, along with a number of other new features.

The meat of Animal Crossing: New Horizon 3.0 is a hotel that will set up on your island at the end of your pier, wherever that's located for you. Just download the update (make sure you actually download it - there was a system update this morning as well for me and I almost missed it!) and it should be there waiting for you if you're a returning player who put some time into your island already. It seems likely there is at least one other requirement for the hotel to show up that prevents it from being there for new players, but we're still working out just what that is.

The hotel works a lot like the Happy Home DLC: you'll be asked to decorate different rooms in it based on themes you're given from Leilani. However, unlike the DLC, the catalog is the limit on what all you can put in these rooms. Though you're given a list of recommended items if you need help, apart from that, any item you've ever collected (via DIY, purchase, gift, or whatever) is available for use in the hotel, as many times as you want.

Whenever you finish a room, it will become available for guests to stay in. This is a great way to meet other villagers you don't have living on your island at the moment, as they'll come stay and share cute and unique dialogue. You'll also be given Hotel Tickets, which you can spend at the souvenir shop for unique decor newly added to the game that you can use in your own house or elsewhere on the island.

Additionally, outside the hotel, Tom Nook will invite you to use a box outside the hotel where you'll be asked to craft certain DIY items to help promote your island elsewhere. Completing these requests will get you more Hotel Tickets to spend on more items. And, by the way, DIY crafting is easier than ever now that bulk crafting and crafting using ingredients from storage has been enabled with the new update.

In addition to all this, there are several other new additions: There's tons of new furniture available both via the Souvenir Shop and the Nook Shopping app, including a bunch of LEGO items and classic game systems that you can use to activate games using Nintendo Switch Online from within Animal Crossing. Dream Worlds are now active, and let you build and decorate up to three Dream Islands either alone or with friends. And the new Zelda and Splatoon-themed amiibo villagers and themed items are available if you scan their amiibo.

Additionally, those who have purchased the Nintendo Switch 2 upgrade (and are playing on the Switch 2, of course) also have access to their update! That means: improved graphics, mouse controls, 12-player multiplayer if you can manage to get that many people with Switch 2s, Megaphones that let you yell at your Switch and call your villagers over from across town, and it's only $5 (the rest of the 3.0 update is free for everyone).

We've got a comprehensive guide to the 3.0 update, including how to unlock everything and what's included, as a part of our Animal Crossing: New Horizons Wiki guide. If you're just getting back to New Horizons today after a long hiatus, we also have a number of tips for people getting back into the swing of things.

Disney Cory in the House, a 2008 tie-in game for Nintendo DS, looks set to be crowned the best game of all time on Metacritic in the near future — by user ratings, at least.

The obscure adventure title already boasts a 9.3 user score average, enough to lift it higher than The Last of Us, Half-Life 2, Baldur's Gate 3, and Resident Evil 4.

Across all 5,984 games tracked by Metacritic, the title now ranks in joint second, level with The Witcher 3. Only last year's beloved role-player Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 (which boasts a user score average of 9.6) stands above it. So, what is going on — and is Disney Corey in the House really that good?

So we finally know what Sam Levinson has been up to all this time… kind of. The official trailer for the long-awaited third season of Euphoria is finally here, and believe it or not, it looks like fun — or at least chaos. One of the two for sure.

The new sneak peek from HBO was released today, January 14, a little under three months until the season’s release date. In the teaser, we meet Zendaya’s Rue “a few years after high school” where life isn’t “exactly what [she] wished.” She appears to be working a dead-end job and potentially even dealing drugs when Laurie, the unassuming middle aged white mom kingpin from season 2, finds her and reminds her she has to pay up.

We also tap into what’s going on with the other beloved characters of the series. Nate (Jacob Elordi) and Cassie (Sydney Sweeney) are engaged to be married and she has been sneakily filming risque “content” for online viewers while he’s away at work… until he catches her in the act. Maddy (Alexa Demie) speaks about Jules (Hunter Schaefer), who appears to now be a sugar baby, and remarks that she herself doesn’t do that even though many others do because she’s “not a f—king hooker.” Lexi (Maude Apatow) seems to be schmoozing with a bunch of men in suits at a large table in another shot, suggesting she might be making good on her creative talents from season 2. Plus, we even see Rue meeting with Coleman Domingo’s Ali Muhammed, so it appears she’s still relying on him for advice.

We also see a few new characters, namely a man who wears full protective gear — maybe a cleaner for Laurie’s gang? — and another man who wears a cowboy hat and intimidates Rue at a party, played by Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje. Plus, a press release for the upcoming season boasts a whole host of guest stars, including Sharon Stone, Rosalia, Danielle Deadwyler, Marshawn Lynch, Eli Roth, Natasha Lyonne, Trisha Paytas, and Vinne Hacker, so it appears there will be a ton of new faces this time around.

The network has also released an official logline for the season, which was shot on 35mm and 65mm film: “A group of childhood friends wrestle with the virtue of faith, the possibility of redemption, and the problem of evil.”

One thing stands out as a constant this season, at least as far as this trailer goes: Rue is going to go through it. Between Laurie claiming that Rue belongs to her and a glimpse of her being used in a game of William Tell (look it up, it’s not going to end well), I’m worried for what’s to come of her and if her past transgressions will finally come back to teach her a real lesson.

Season 3 of Euphoria is set to debut on HBO and HBO Max on April 12, with episodes releasing weekly after the premiere.

On April 29, Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge at Disneyland will expand its timeline to include the original trilogy era, complete with appearances by Darth Vader, Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, and Princess Leia Organa.
