Magic’s Marvel Super Heroes Commander Decks Are Discounted on Amazon

Image
Magic: The Gathering launched a Marvel set last year with its take on Spider-Man, and the set mostly underwhelmed outside of some cool new designs. That’s particularly true for Commander players, with the game’s most popular format not treated to any preconstructed deck options. Thankfully, that’s not the case with Marvel Super Heroes, which is the current set. Not only are there four decks on offer, but buying them all in a bundle from Amazon can save you a few bucks right now . Get Four Magic x Marvel Precons At A Discount For Your Next Commander Night First, some caveats. Yes, the Marvel precons are pricier than Universes Within decks, and priced even higher than last year’s Final Fantasy options. And, like those decks, there are premium options that include all foils for a much higher fee. We’re focusing on the standard versions here, and Amazon is selling the bundle for $249.95. That brings the price per deck down from $74.99 to $62.49, which is still more than the majority of de...

Avatar Aang: The Last Airbender Finally Gets Theatrical Release, But There's a Catch

Image
The upcoming Avatar film, Avatar Aang: The Last Airbender , will release in some theaters after all. In 2021, Paramount announced that it was developing a feature-length Avatar film for a theatrical release. It was later revealed that the film was a sequel to the original Nickelodeon TV series, following the original cast of characters as adults. Everything seemed to be going well up until Paramount abruptly pulled the plug on the film's theatrical release , opting to send it straight to streaming on Paramount+. Naturally, this was pretty disappointing for fans who wanted to experience the Aang's return on the big screen, but not all hope is lost. Variety has reported that the film will be coming to theaters alongside the film's Paramount+ release later this month , but there's a catch: This release is very limited and is only happening in Los Angeles and New York City. There will be three showings a day from July 24th - July 30th at AMC Burbank 8 in L.A. and the AMC E...

Call of Duty: Black Ops Modder Highlights Major Exploits With New Port, Activision Is Investigating

Image
Activision is investigating issues revolving around mods and hackers in Call of Duty: Black Ops on PS4 and PS5. Last week, Activision dropped ports of Black Ops 1 and 2 on PS4 and PS5 . Although they don't feature any significant improvements or upgrades , fans were extremely happy to see these games accessible on PlayStation. However, the fun was spoiled pretty quickly. Earlier this week, modders and exploiters began compromising lobbies in the Black Ops 1 port , leading to some players calling the game "unplayable." These lobbies allow you to rank up rapidly and basically make the entire progression system irrelevant. Activision took action pretty quickly and removed certain playlists to address the matter; however, concerns remain. YouTuber Tdawgsmitty interviewed one of the game's modders to try and figure out what's happening. As it turns out, the issue is partially rooted in the fact that the game has exploits left over from the PS3 version. "Essentia...

Halo Studios Reportedly Cancels New Multiplayer Project

Image
A brand new Halo multiplayer game has been scrapped, according to sources. A popular Halo YouTuber known as Rebs Gaming has reported that a new multiplayer project set in the beloved sci-fi universe was recently cancelled. This report was also backed up by Windows Central's Jez Corden , who stated that the news was "100% true." The new game was codenamed 'Ekur,' and was being worked on by Certain Affinity, a studio that has done a lot of support work on previous Halo and Call of Duty titles. The game's origins began in a totally different project known as 'Tatanka,' which was a battle royale-esque Halo game. However, that was scrapped in favor of Ekur, which was described as a "super big team battle idea," pulling from Halo's history of large-scale multiplayer modes. Halo 5's Warzone mode was seen as a source of inspiration, as well, and the team also toyed with an extraction mode. The project would've used the map that was buil...

Magic: The Gathering's Full Release Schedule for 2026 Confirmed, Including Which Sets You Can Preorder Now

Image
Magic: The Gathering had some great sets in 2025 (we see you, Edge of Eternities), but it also became clear some of the fanbase is suffering from, uh, 'non-franchise fatigue'. As crossovers became more prevalent, many felt it just wasn't the same game anymore. That’s not to say Universes Beyond was a total bust. Final Fantasy brought in record-breaking numbers of players , and Avatar: The Last Airbender was a return to some semblance of form after the disappointment of Spider-Man. Still, cardboard waits for no Planeswalker, and there are more sets in 2026 - seven, in total. That’s before we even get into the myriad of Secret Lair drops , and perhaps most worryingly, four of those sets are Universes Beyond. Will they end up being closer to Final Fantasy or Spider-Man? And will the in-universe sets live up to the high bar set by Tarkir: Dragonstorm or Edge of Eternities? Here’s everything coming to Magic: The Gathering in 2026. 2026’s Magic Sets - At a Glance Llorwyn Eclips...

Dying Light: The Beast for PS4 and Xbox One Canceled After Dev Accepts 'The Technical Realities of Development'

Image
Techland has canceled the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One version of Dying Light: The Beast , blaming the decision on “the technical realities of development.” First-person zombie-slaying Dying Light: The Beast launched on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X and S last year. IGN’s review returned a 7/10. We said: “Dying Light: The Beast is a goofy, bloody sequel with a monstrous twist, but doesn’t do much else to mix things up.” Techland had intended to release the game on the last generation of consoles, although that always felt like a stretch. So it has proven. In a statement published online , Techland said the compromises it would have had to make to get Dying Light: The Beast on PS4 and Xbox One were too great, and it would now offer refunds. It’s worth noting that both the PS4 and Xbox One are now 13 years old. Here’s the statement in full: After careful consideration, we have made the difficult decision that Dying Light: The Beast will no longer be released on PlayStation 4 and Xb...

Assassin's Creed Black Flag Developers in Barcelona Are Being Laid Off as Ubisoft Celebrates Game's Success

Image
Ubisoft Barcelona developers who contributed to Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced have spoken out about the company's plans to lay them off — just as their final project becomes a commercial success, selling 2 million copies in around 24 hours. Layoffs at Ubisoft Barcelona were announced last month as part of a wider wave of job losses across the firm. 380 staff are being let go in this latest downsizing, spread across offices in Winnipeg and Belgrade (which will close completely), in Barcelona, and in the company's global publishing division. Ubisoft Barcelona has a history of supporting projects typically led by other, larger Ubisoft studios, such as games in the Rabbids series and Star Trek: Bridge Crew. For Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced, the team worked on the game's diving side-missions — a secondary activity that a separate team also worked on in the original Black Flag. "Ubisoft Barcelona did all the underwater levels," wrote Manel Cota,...
