    Happy anniversary, Final Fantasy V.

    To celebrate the 30th anniversary of Final Fantasy V — the game that gave us an incredible job system so you could make an ideal party of adventurers — Square Enix has released this video featuring an acoustic arrangement of “Battle at the Big Bridge,” originally composed by the legendary Nobuo Uematsu.

    The new version absolutely rocks — and is just the thing to listen to if you need a boost of energy. It’s kind of like casting “haste” on yourself.

    His Dark Materials’ third and final season is its most ambitious yet

    Ahead of the premiere on HBO, the cast behind the fantasy series explains why the last season is the darkest and most complex to date.

    The holiday releases are in full swing.

    It’s December, and new games, movies, and TV shows are coming out at a rapid pace. This week we have the excellent revival of Willow on Disney Plus, some superhero strategy with Marvel’s Midnight Suns, the terrifying (and frustrating) horror game The Callisto Protocol, and Tilda Swinton playing two different roles in the haunting The Eternal Daughter.

    It’s also a good week for subscription gaming services. Netflix just got a great batch of releases, including the adorable Cats & Soup, while the classic Dead Cells is now available on Apple Arcade. And for Fortnite players, the battle royale’s next major live event happens at 4PM ET today.

    What could have been for The Midnight Club.

    Fresh off the announcement that Mike Flanagan has signed an exclusive deal with Amazon, comes the news that the showrunner’s latest Netflix series, The Midnight Club, won’t be getting a second season. Given that season 1 left some big unresolved questions, Flanagan has taken to Tumblr to share with fans what could have been.

    The Callisto Protocol is terrifying sci-fi horror with terrifying difficulty spikes

    The game, led by Dead Space creator Glen Schofield, takes an old-school approach to survival horror. And it works — except when it becomes painfully frustrating.

    Monster Hunter rises onto new platforms.

    After starting life as a portable game, and then expanding to PC, Monster Hunter Rise is now coming to a bunch of consoles. Capcom announced that the game (and its adorable Palico companions) will be available on the Xbox One, Series X/S, PS4, and PS5 starting January 20th. And for Game Pass subscribers, it’s coming there on the same day.
