Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is the latest Black Ops installment that thrusts players back to future warfare with an intense solo-player campaign, ever-expanding online multiplayer, and Round-Based Zombies.

Beginning with the solo-player campaign, Black Ops 7 is set ten years after the events of Black Ops 2. As David Mason and the entire JSOC team, your mission is to fight through enemy forces and uncover a world-threatening truth. This campaign gives players a chance to see how Black Ops 7 works. You can take it by yourself or Co-op with another player as you embark through hostile territories, even within yourself.

If you're done with the campaign mission, you can take on online multiplayer against the world and put everything you've learned from the campaign to good use against the world's top soldiers with 16 6v6 maps and two 20v20 maps at launch. There will be more multiplayer content coming post-launch, so stay tuned.

Zombies became a hallmark game mode in the Call of Duty franchise, and BO7 is no exception. In this game's Zombies, you and other players must fight through the abyss of the Dark Aether against a barrage of zombies. You know what to do.

With its mind-blowing campaign mode, along with its signature online multiplayer experience and terrifying round-based Zombies mode, Black Ops 7 is a must-play of the season. Reality has drastically changed for the worse. Get ready.

The Running Man (2025 film)

"In 2025, the best men don't run for president. They run for their lives". That's what the description best sums up about the Stephen King masterpiece, The Running Man. Because this is 2025, the year in which The Running Man was set, it's high time for the world to witness The Running Man in this movie remake, penned by Edgar Wright.

The Running Man (2025 film)

Glen Powell stars as the new Ben Richards in the remake of the 1987 action thriller based on a Stephen King novel. Set in a dystopian future, Ben Richards, who has been banned from working, seeks a way to lift his family out of poverty. The only option available to him is to participate in the deadliest game show on television: The Running Man. As he becomes embroiled in this deadly manhunt broadcast worldwide, Richards uncovers the dark truth behind the show. While improving his family's situation is his top priority, he soon shifts his focus to bringing down The Network, the powerful organization that orchestrated the game.

This movie also stars Josh Brolin, Colman Domingo (Fear the Walking Dead), Emilia Jones, and others.

Compared to the quote-laden original, this remake is like Squid Game on steroids. Seeing the new Ben Richards blending through the surroundings while engaging in "fight or flight" situations against Network mercenaries showcases the explosive action this new version delivers. 

The exhilarating thrills of the new Running Man movie make it a must-watch action film for the season. However, it's the underlying relevance that truly resonates. The portrayal of The Network manipulating the world with "fake news," which deviates sharply from the truth, feels all too familiar in today’s society. With the misuse of AI leading to the spread of fake news, we are witnessing the resulting chaos and discord.

From its chilling relevance to exhilarating action thrills, this movie will have you racing to your nearest cinema to catch the new version of The Running Man. Put on your running shoes because this is going to be the most extreme escape you’ve ever experienced.

Just keep running, man.

Predator: Badlands

The Predator franchise is back in cinemas with the latest installment, where a different kind of Predator becomes the Prey.

Predator: Badlands
Predator: Badlands

Directed by Dan Trachtenberg, who did his work in the other Predator installment titled PREY, Predator: Badlands features a different kind of Predator as it embarks through hostile territories to prove its worth with the help of an android named Thia, played by Elle Fanning.

This Predator stands apart from those in previous films as it is struggling for survival and relies solely on traditional hunting techniques. This makes the movie a straightforward action-adventure that feels distinct from earlier Predator installments. It's intense, and in a sense, it serves as a baptism by fire in the Predator's world.

While not as good as the other Predator movies, Badlands serves as a rite of passage for fans who want to see how an inexperienced Predator fights back to earn its name.

First hunt, last chance. Enjoy watching this newest Predator movie and discover the true meaning of survival.

TRON: Ares

The world of Tron has finally unleashed to our world in this newest action thriller installment of Disney's Tron series.

TRON: Ares
Tron: Ares

Starring Jared Leto, Greta Lee, and Hasan Minhaj, among others, Tron: Ares is the newest installment of Disney's Tron series where virtual and reality are on a collision course. 

This movie centers on Ares (played by Leto), an AI super soldier and a byproduct of the weapons manufacturing conglomerate Dilliger Systems. When his manhunt on Eve Kim (played by Greta Lee), the head of ENCOM and the key to the Permanence Code, the Holy Grail of Kevin Flynn, played by Jeff Bridges, took on a different turn, Ares becomes fugitive as he defies his creators, defends Eve, and prevent the Permanence Code to fall to the wrong hands, all in the name of seeking his freedom in the end. 

This movie features original background music by Nine Inch Nails, a group prominent for their striking techno house music, akin to the now-disbanded Daft Punk from the previous installment, Tron: Legacy.

This latest Tron installment really is in tune with the times because of Artificial Intelligence becoming prominent in the age of the new normal. It showcases the terror of what happens when those corrupted by power are weaponizing AI for their world domination goals. 

Yes, this film paints a darker picture on the AI trend, but as a Tron movie, this is the biggest Tron experience ever witnessed. Unleashing the world of Tron to the real world showcases the franchise beyond its limits. Never in the wonderful world of Disney has unleashed an action thriller as thrilling as Tron: Ares.

A topical, thrilling, and an enjoyable rollecoaster ride from start to finish. This is how to sum up the newest Tron adventure and with such scale, this is the best Tron installment ever generated. There's no turning back with this one.

Metal Gear Solid Δ: Snake Eater

The secret origin of Big Boss, redefined for the new generation of players. The genesis of the Metal Gear saga, born again. This is Metal Gear Solid Δ: Snake Eater.

Metal Gear Solid Δ: Snake Eater
Metal Gear Solid Δ: Snake Eater (PS5)

Metal Gear Solid Δ, the rebirth of the 2004 video game, Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, brings a bold new vision to the secret origin of Big Boss, courtesy of the Unreal Engine.

Fans who played the original Snake Eater game a million times should be familiar with the game's story. Set in the year 1964, in the heat of the Cold War, CIA agent Naked Snake's mission to rescue a captive Soviet scientist, Sokolov, failed when his mentor, The Boss, defected to the Soviet Union. Accused of its unprecedented nuclear attack on Soviet territory, the US government has one week to prove its innocence or else face nuclear retaliation by the Soviets. They had no choice...but to send Snake to eliminate The Boss.

Every iconic Snake Eater moment from Snake's failed Virtuous Mission to his "Last Showdown" has been recalibrated and recharged thanks to the full capability of the Unreal Engine. Playing on either the PS5 Pro or the Xbox Series X, surviving through enemy territory never looked and felt so ultra-realistic. Although the looks and feels are new, Konami managed to keep the original voices (Japanese and English dub) and BGM from the original Snake Eater intact.

There are two ways to enjoy playing MGSΔ. The New Style gives you a brand new third-person action perspective to the Snake Eater experience, with new controls to master. The Legacy Style, meanwhile, features classic MGS3 gameplay setup fans are familiar with. Whichever style you're playing, it's all about revisiting this classic.

In addition to the unlockable camouflages and the hidden Kerotans to shoot, the new Snake Eater game has hidden Ga-kos hidden throughout the game. Shoot them all to obtain a secret reward. Oh, and if you complete the game, you can unlock the Secret Theater feature, featuring memorable Snake Eater moments gone wrong. There are enemies carrying films scattered throughout the game. Holdupping them is the only way to get those blooper reels. Collect enough of these reels will unlock new ones made specifically for this remake.

Exclusive for PS5 and PC users, the hilarious "Snake VS Monkey" mini-game returns. The apes from Ape Escape are back to cause mayhem. For those playing with the Xbox Series consoles, it's Snake VS Bomberman.

Remember the "nightmare game" from the original MGS3 game for the PS2 that didn't pop up in the HD Edition? Guess what? Guy Savage is back with a new twist made in collaboration with PlatinumGames.

Later this fall, there's a new Fox Hunt online multiplayer game where players go hide-and-seek against each other. Optimal use of camouflage and the environment is a must in this new multiplayer game.

The secret origin of Big Boss, reloaded at long last. Metal Gear Solid Δ looks and feels better than the original while maintaining the familiar Snake Eater experience. It's a must-play for Metal Gear fans who've enjoyed the original Snake Eater a million times.

Kept you waiting, huh?

The Naked Gun (2025 film)

Picture this: when Akiva Schaffer and Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane are tasked to revive one of the most iconic comedy movies in ages, The Naked Gun, whose actor did they pick? Simple, get the action star Liam Neeson and put him in one big, hilarious sandbox. Yep, here's your answer!

The Naked Gun (2025 film)
The Naked Gun (2025 film)

Liam Neeson, the action star you're familiar with, has officially joined the world of The Naked Gun in the latest movie, which aims to continue the legacy of its previous installments. In this new-generation Naked Gun film, Neeson takes on the role of Frank Drebin Jr., the descendant of the character originally portrayed by the late Leslie Nielsen in earlier films.

Joining in the fun are Pamela Anderson, Paul Walter Hauser, CCH Pounder, Kevin Durand, Cody Rhodes, Liza Koshy, Eddie Yu, and Danny Huston.

While it may feel odd to see Liam Neeson in a comedy role, as he is known for his suspenseful action films, the classic humor reminiscent of Naked Gun is still present. With attractive women, villainous characters, silly gags, and even a quirky beaver, it's everything you would expect from an action-comedy film that aims to make you laugh out loud, so much so that it feels like it's tickling your very DNA.

From beginning to end, it's clear that this isn't truly The Naked Gun; rather, it's Liam Neeson reimagined in a way that feels like a big Family Guy joke. Thank you, Seth MacFarlane. Despite its strange casting, this new Naked Gun movie serves as evidence that comedy is very much alive.

You can skip Amazon Prime's Coming to America 2 or Netflix's Happy Gilmore 2 for this one. This is the revived comedy classic to choose.

Marvel's The Fantastic Four: First Steps

After years of waiting, the Fantastic Four finally made their entry into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. So, what's this latest MCU installment all about that takes us back to the 1950s' vision of the future?

Marvel's The Fantastic Four:
First Steps

The Fantastic Four have finally made their way to the Marvel Cinematic Universe with this movie set in the 1950s vision of the future. The movie centers on the life and times of renowned scientist Reed Richards, along with his wife, Sue Storm-Richards, her brother Johnny, and Ben Grimm. Survivors of a space incident that exposed them to cosmic radiation, giving them fantastic superpowers and saving the world as Mr. Fantastic, Invisible Woman, The Human Torch, and The Thing, known to themselves as The Fantastic Four, the world's greatest heroes. When the Silver Surfer, the metallic harbinger serving for Galactus, the destroyer of worlds, issued Earth with an ultimatum: surrender or be annihilated, and with Sue's newborn child became the bargaining chip,  the Fantastic Four were in an all-or-nothing gambit to save humanity from the wrath of Galactus.

Putting aside the retrofuturistic nostalgia, the setting of this movie does not detract from showcasing The Fantastic Four's fighting abilities in their first outing in the MCU. Some believe this film will have significant connections to future MCU storylines, including the upcoming Avengers movie. While this may just be a hunch, let's take a moment to appreciate the nostalgia, drama, tension, and fantastic themes that this movie presents.

It's exciting to see the Fantastic Four stepping into the MCU spotlight, showcasing the power of science. With their debut in the MCU, it seems Marvel Studios took a moment to prepare for future endeavors. Whatever the reason, let's be thankful for MCU's 2025 offerings from the new Captain America movie, the do-not-call-them-Thunderbolts-anymore, and this. For now, let's have a fantastic time with F4.

Marvel's Thunderbolts*

The Marvel Cinematic Universe's 2025 escapade continues with its next installment, where the deadliest rivals band together for a chance to redeem themselves, proving they can still save the world even without the Avengers.

Marvel's Thunderbolts*
Marvel's Thunderbolts*

Who are the Thunderbolts*? The Winter Soldier Bucky Barnes, Yelena Belova, Red Guardian, Ghost, John Walker, and Taskmaster are the deadliest rivals from the MCU that formed the said crew trying to put their past sins behind them and prove that they will risk everything to save the world that was reeling from the aftermath of the Infinity War.

Consider them the Marvel equivalent of DC's Suicide Squad. Like the Suicide Squad, they are a group of villains recruited by the U.S. government in a desperate attempt to save the world, no matter the cost. This often involves resorting to extreme violence against any threats that stand in their way.

Filled with a dark sense of humor, it's great to see MCU's deadliest rivals butting heads, figuring out how to save the world if the Avengers were nearly wiped out in the Infinity War. Still, in the end, they prove that if they can't do it, nobody can.

Summer arrives early with the latest installment of the MCU. Filled with excessive violence, dark humor, and classic Marvel moments, this movie strikes not twice but too many times.

Marvel's Captain America: Brave New World

A brave new Captain America has entered the MCU battlefield as Marvel Studios kicks off 2025 with their latest chapter, where the new generation of Captain America confronts a different kind of "red scare."

Marvel's Captain America: Brave New World
Marvel's Captain America: Brave New World

With Anthony Mackie taking over the shield as the new Captain America, Brave New World stars Harrison Ford as President Thaddeus Ross, Danny Ramirez, Shira Haas, Carl Lumbly, Xosha Roquemore, Giancarlo Esposito, Liv Tyler, and Tim Blake Nelson.

In the first of the 2025 installments of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the new Captain America's meeting with President Ross turned deadly. As tensions escalate to the brink of an all-out war, Captain America races against time to unmask the mastermind behind the attack.

Mackie's new purpose from the Black Falcon to the new Captain America is one of the shockers MCU fans are expecting in this exciting new chapter of the saga, a sign of things to come where familiar faces are repurposed with new roles. Although controversial, it works with huge dividends. 

Regarding the movie, it is about as suspenseful as current US politics. Bringing Ford from the George Lucas universe into the Marvel universe as the President entangled in a deadly conspiracy is not much different from his experiences in the Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan series. It's as if the Marvel and Tom Clancy fandoms collide with thrilling results but still, it's one of the must-watch movies of the season right until the epilogue that signals what's next in the MCU.

It truly is a "brave new world" for the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Conspiracy-driven politics, intense action, unexpected twists, and hints of what’s to come in the MCU are bravely encapsulated in this movie.

Collecting such resources gives you the chance to upgrade your Cradle Coffin in terms of firepower, endurance, speed, and other key necessities, not to mention some customization items to stand out. The more missions you complete, the more cool stuff you can unlock for your Cradle Coffin and your Magus. Be warned; collecting resources is the easy part, but getting back with it is the hardest part.

Being a game that can be played via online multiplayer, it showcases its dog-eat-dog nature because you and the other players can't tell if they're friends or enemies. If they're willing to cooperate with you, so be it. If they want to clash against you, be ready because rival players may take your resources and/or possibly your Magus if they defeat you. Either way, this is how SYNDUALITY is played.

SYNDUALITY features challenging yet addictive gameplay that can be experienced both solo and online. Many players who enjoy robot games are comparing it to Armored Core, suggesting that it has the potential to become the next big title in that genre. Bandai Namco is making a strong statement by launching this exciting post-apocalyptic robot adventure game at the beginning of 2025, making it a must-check-out release.
