Netflix Acquires CATAN Rights, Trading Tabletops for Shows, Films, and Video Games

As a huge fan of both film and board games, I was really surprised and excited to hear that Netflix has snagged the global rights to Catan! I first saw the news over at Deadline, and it sounds like they’re going all in – planning live-action and animated series and films based on the classic board game, The Settlers of Catan. Honestly, I figured we’d see this kind of expansion after a couple of years if things went well, not right away! But Netflix isn’t stopping there; they’re also looking at unscripted shows and even video games based on the property. It’s amazing to think about how Catan helped bring those fantastic “Euro-style” board games to a wider American audience – and really, to the world. It’s incredible that you can still grab the 6th edition and play with friends in over 40 languages!

DEATH BECOMES HER Raises a Terrifying Question That Still Haunts Me

The movie Death Becomes Her is a fantastic horror-comedy because it balances humor and imagination with a genuinely frightening idea. The story centers on two rivals obsessed with staying young who seek out a witch. She offers them a potion that stops aging completely, preventing them from getting any older at all.

Dispatch review-in-progress: funny, beautiful, and clever… so far

If I had to compare this game to something else, it’d be Invincible. You play as heroes who are seriously messed up, get beat to a pulp, and aren’t afraid to swear. Early on, I was fighting this trash-talking villain named Toxic – yeah, he literally fights with his… well, you get the picture – and the game immediately asks if I want to stomp him or kick him through a window and across the whole city! It’s super sharp, genuinely funny, and the voice acting is amazing, with big names like Aaron Paul, Laura Bailey, Jeffrey Wright, Matthew Mercer, and Erin Yvette all involved. Plus, they even got some YouTubers in there, which is cool.

Monster Hunter Now’s Halloween event brings a terrifying new Tigrex variant to face

Okay, so this year’s event is bringing in the Brute Tigrex, which is basically a super-charged version of the Tigrex. This thing is way more aggressive than normal, and its roar? Seriously powerful! Of course, that means we can hunt it down and craft some awesome new gear – I’m already planning my build around the Rex Roar armor set. Can’t wait to try it out!

Ninja Gaiden 4 review – Platinum standard action

I wasn’t surprised to see such quality from PlatinumGames – they’ve made incredible action games like Bayonetta, Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, and Nier Automata. However, this new game feels different. While the new character, Yakumo, has impressive ninja skills, it doesn’t quite capture the feel of the older Ninja Gaiden games. Ryu Hayabusa was powerful and fast, but also felt weighty and impactful. Yakumo, on the other hand, is all about speed and feels lighter, more in line with other games PlatinumGames has created than the classic 3D Ninja Gaiden trilogy.

Chaos Zero Nightmare director promises “darker and more unsettling” stories

Kim shared that testers felt the story was too lighthearted and lacked enough content during the recent test. The team is taking this feedback seriously and is already working on improvements for future updates. This includes creating more in-depth stories – like Trauma Code, Messenger, and Excursion – that will explore the characters and show different facets of their personalities.
