10 Years Ago, Netflix's Boldest Sci-Fi Show Marked The End Of An Era

1 day ago | inverse.com | Gavia Baker-Whitelaw

Between 2015 and 2016, Netflix premiered three attention-grabbing genre shows: Sense8, The OA, and Stranger Things. Of the three, Sense8 seemed the most likely to become a hit. Created by the Wachowskis and Babylon 5’s J. Michael Straczynski, it echoed the scope and spirituality of Cloud Atlas while embracing the goofy sincerity of Jupiter Ascending.

After two Nintendo Switch 2 events under our belt and a dozen or so hours with the new console, setting up Hades, Super Mario Odyssey, and Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, we can safely say that the Switch 2 is here — and, well, there’s a lot to unpack.

Games like Hades have shown us that the afterlife can be just as good of a starting point for games as an endpoint. Dying is never really the end in games after all, and breaking out of the underworld rather than accepting your fate makes a lot of sense if it’s on the table. A new action RPG on Xbox Game Pass takes the end of its character’s life as the start of its adventure, with the added benefit of starring an adorable cat. Crypt Custodian starts off with a rather grim premise.

The all-too-brief tenure of Ncuti Gatwa’s 15th Doctor is already causing some big feelings in the Doctor Who fandom. Not since Christopher Eccleston’s 9th Doctor has the era of a new incumbent Time Lord been so short. And, as many have pointed out, the time between the announcement that Gatwa would take the role and his first episode is tragically longer than his actual tenure. But, there’s more than just recent history strangeness afoot here.

It’s been ten years since The Witcher 3, and we still have no idea when The Witcher 4 will launch. But thanks to a new tech demo, we have an idea of what CD Projekt Red is aiming for with the anticipated sequel’s visuals, even if we don’t get to see the game in action for years. On May 3, The Witcher 4 kicked off a showcase of Epic’s Unreal Engine 5.6. The game marks the first time CD Projekt Red will use the engine, having relied on its proprietary REDengine in the past.
Nintendo Is Already Warning Users Not To Overdo It With 'Mario Kart World's' Most Viral Character

Once just an innocent grazing farm animal with a love of grass, Cow in Mario Kart has certainly “moo-ved” up the ranks in recent times. When you saw cows in Nintendo’s most popular game of all time, they were just something to avoid bumping into and they easily faded into the background.
Steam Just Quietly Added One Of The Best New Sci-Fi Games With A Galactic Twist

Almost as long as there have been video games, there have been video games about blowing things up with a spaceship. Going all the way back to Spacewar! being developed at MIT in the ‘60s, the fantasy of zipping through the cosmos and firing lasers at anything in your path is one that’s hard to get tired of.

Is the new Doctor really going to have the face of a previous companion? With the shocking ending of Doctor Who’s “The Reality War,” you might be wondering how the Doctor could possibly have the face of a previous companion, Rose Tyler, played by actress Billie Piper. Clearly, there are a lot of questions as to whether or not Piper is playing the next Doctor for real, or whether this was a kind of tribute to the 20th anniversary of the start of the new Who back in 2005.
