Pokemon LEGENDS: Z-A

Return to Lumiose City in the newest Pokémon LEGENDS adventure, where Mega Evolution makes a comeback. Go Mega before it's too late!

Pokemon LEGENDS: Z-A
Nintendo Switch 2 Edition

Pokémon LEGENDS Z-A, the newest Pokémon LEGENDS adventure for the outgoing Nintendo Switch and the all-new Nintendo Switch 2, welcomes Pokémon fanatics back to Lumiose City, the heart of the Kalos Region from 2013's Pokémon XY games.

In this latest adventure, players can explore Lumiose City, where an urban redevelopment plan is in progress to transform the city into a utopia for both humans and Pokémon. As your journey through Lumiose City begins, you can choose which of the Z-A starters is your first: Chikorita, Tepig, or Totodile.

During your adventure in Lumiose City, you will encounter various incidents alongside new and memorable characters, including one you may recognize. First, let's explore the concept of Wild Zones. Wild Zones are part of the Lumiose redevelopment plan, overseen by a conglomerate called Quasartico Inc., designed to promote coexistence between humans and Pokémon.

Like the previous LEGENDS game, LEGENDS Arceus, catching a Pokémon takes finesse and stealth. You can either sneak up on them to catch them by surprise or, when things get rough, engage in a Pokémon battle. Hope you got enough Poké Balls for this.

Some areas are not accessible, and the only way to do so is by taking on the Z-A League. When night falls, an underground tournament called the Z-A League kicks in. You start at Rank Z and your goal is to battle the city's most powerful trainers and, in due course, reach the prestigious Rank A. As your rank progresses, you'll be able to access new areas, and the maximum level for Pokémons to obey you will improve.

LEGENDS: Z-A introduces a series-first real-time battle system, where trainers and their Pokémon can move freely during a fight. In addition to considering type matchups, players will need to pay attention to new gameplay mechanics, such as the exact timing required to switch Pokémon or execute moves. Additionally, moves will have varying reach, areas of effect, and time delays before they take effect.

The XXL-sized Alpha Pokémon can be quite daunting if you're not prepared. However, what's even more challenging than facing an Alpha Pokémon is encountering a Pokémon with Rogue Mega Evolution. As part of your assignment with Team MZ, you will take on these Rogue Mega-Evolved Pokémon. If you successfully defeat them, you will be rewarded with Mega Stones. It's a tough job, but the rewards are worth the effort.

In addition to popular Mega-Evolved favorites, LEGENDS: Z-A features exciting new Mega Evolutions for beloved Pokémon, including Mega Dragonite, Mega Malamar, Mega Victreebel, and Mega Hawlucha. It's worth noting that the final evolution stages of the Z-A starters also have Mega Evolutions, but how they achieve this is a mystery you'll need to uncover by playing the game. As with past titles, you will require Mega Stones to initiate Mega Evolution. You can obtain these stones by trading Mega Shards or purchasing them at locations like the Stone Emporium. Some stones can also be earned as prizes from ranked online battles (requires online subscription).

Starting in 2026, this game will be compatible with Pokémon HOME. This means you'll be able to transfer Pokémon from the Pokémon GO app and previous games to complete the Z-A Pokédex. Additionally, a new DLC expansion is set to launch next year, featuring the mythical Pokémon Hoopa and two brand-new Mega Evolutions for Raichu. Don't miss out on these exciting updates!

The Mega Evolution comeback, evolved battle system, new cast of characters, and new ways to enjoy your favorite Pokémons, Pokémon LEGENDS: Z-A is no doubt the must-play of the season. 

Ready to return to Lumiouse City for this Mega-Evolved Pokémon LEGENDS escapade? Good luck!

Omniscient Reader: The Prophecy

Based on a megahit webtoon series, the world of Omniscient Reader comes to life on the big screen. It’s the end of the world as he reads it...unless he can stop it.

Omniscient Reader: The Prophecy

Starring Ahn Hyo Seop (K-POP Demon Hunters), Lee Min Ho (The King: Eternal Monarch), Chae Soo Bin, Shin Seung-ho, Nana (GLITCH), and Kwon Eun Seong. The live-action movie adaptation of the megahit webtoon features Ahn Hyo Seop as Kim Dok Ja. One fateful day, the novel he frequently read, titled How to Survive the Apocalypse, became a reality. To avert the apocalypse as happened in the novel, Dok Ja teams up with the novel's protagonist, Yoo Joong Hyuk, played by Lee Min Ho, and races against time to alter the ending by all means.

For fans of the hit webtoon, it's disappointing not to see Dok Ja wearing his iconic white coat in the movie, which is one of the drawbacks of this live-action adaptation. However, Lee Min Ho's portrayal of Yoo Joong Hyuk truly stands out. Staying true to the webtoon’s roots, this movie delivers an all-out action thriller as the countdown to disaster begins. It is a gripping rollercoaster ride all the way to the end of the movie, although it feels annoying that a movie adaptation of a popular webtoon ended up getting a pat on the head by most anime websites for no reason. 

Whatever the reason, this movie is a must-watch Korean film for the summer. If you're a fan of the webtoon it’s based on or the main characters, you’ll likely be drawn to Hyo Seop, who transitions from playing the villainous leader of the Saja Boys, Jinu, to the role of Kim Dok Ja. Be sure to check it out!

Jurassic World Rebirth

Universal's Jurassic series returns with an exciting new chapter set in the aftermath of Dominion. Ready for a monster of a new chapter?

Jurassic World: Rebirth

Jurassic World Rebirth, the newest installment of Universal's Jurassic series, signals the dawn of a new era for this franchise. Featuring a powerhouse cast like Scarlett Johansson, Jonathan Bailey, and Mahershala Ali, this new movie is set in the aftermath of Dominion. Covert ops expert Zora Bennett, played by Johansson, and her team are exploring hostile environments crawling with genetically-mutated dinosaurs in search of the DNA of the three most colossal creatures in the hopes of saving humanity.

This movie represents a new kind of "dino crisis," as genetically-mutated dinosaurs are now wreaking havoc on land, in the air, and at sea. These new kinds of threats showcase the franchise's new direction while delivering the same primeval terror you would expect from a Jurassic movie. Although deadly at first sight, these monstrous new creatures are soon to become fan favorites, a worthy addition to the franchise's rogue gallery of dinosaurs.

While we can anticipate elements of cooperation, betrayal, suspense, horror, and action in this movie, its captivating storytelling and thrilling moments can leave you on the edge of your seat long after the credits roll. You will truly feel your heart racing as you recall some of the film's most iconic and intense scenes.

This movie is a "monster" of an adventure worthy of the title "Rebirth". Get it? Rebirth. With genetically modified dinosaurs threatening land, air, and sea, this marks the beginning of a new era for the Jurassic franchise.

How To Train Your Dragon (2025 film)

In celebration of a decade of How To Train Your Dragon franchise, a live-action movie adaption of the iconic classic has arrived. The heartwarming story of Hiccup and Toothless has been given a bold new perspective for today's generation.

How To Train Your Dragon (2025 film)

Written and directed by three-time Academy Award nominee Dean De Blois, who wrote and directed the animated trilogy, the live-action movie adaptation brings a bold new perspective to the story that started it all.

Fans should be familiar about this story just like its animated counterpart. It's about Hiccup, the son of a ruthless Viking chief, whose clumsiness jeopardizes all of Berk. One day, Hiccup made a fateful encounter with a mysterious Night Fury Dragon who has trouble flying. He named the Night Fury Dragon Toothless. The bond between Hiccup and Toothless will forever change the course of Berk.

First impressions weren't really as what we hoped for because it feels barbaric. It has some Game of Thrones vibe into it or that one TV show about Vikings. Despite all that, this movie stays true to its roots, especially Toothless. Toothless looks and feels just like its cartoon counterpart and so is his iconic growls. It still delivers that heartwarming and enjoyable moments you would expect from the world of Dragons.

Although barbaric in nature, this is one of the must-watch films of the summer season. An epic and emotional rollecoaster ride from start to finish. What a way to celebrate a decade of the How To Train Your Dragon franchise.

This fresh take on a Disney family classic speaks for itself. Even in a live-action hybrid movie setting, the timeless storytelling remains. Filled with memorable moments that evoke joy, sorrow, and anger, experiencing the thrill of a Hawaiian rollercoaster ride has never felt more alive. And yes, that iconic song is included!

A Minecraft Movie

Touted as one of the greatest video games of recent times, the world of Minecraft comes to life on the big screen, and things couldn't be more cubic than this.

A Minecraft Movie

Starring Jack Black (The Super Mario Bros. Movie), Jason Momoa (Aquaman, Fast X), Danielle Browns, Emma Myers, and Sebastian Eugene Hansen, A Minecraft Movie brings the iconic video game phenomenon to life, showcasing iconic moments that made Minecraft....well...Minecraft.

In this movie, siblings Henry and Gabrielle get tangled up with the financially-ruined pro gamer Garrett "The Garbage Man" and Dawn into the Overworld, a mysterious world where creativity is the key to survival. They team up with the legend who calls himself "Steve" as they protect the Overwolrd from the threats from the Nether and get back home. Simple, right? Well, you get the picture.

Bringing iconic Minecraft moments to life, especially featuring the deadliest creatures like zombies, the creeper, and the ever-dangerous Enderman, is no easy task for the creators of the movie adaptation. However, hard work often pays off, right? Well, almost. 

With its emotional moments, comic mischief, and signature Minecraft elements, this creativity has made it one of the must-watch family movies of the spring season. It appeals not only to those who have been playing Minecraft for years but also to newcomers who have always wanted to experience the game during their spare time.

The Overworld is open. Are you in?

Assassin's Creed Shadows

Feudal Japan is the next destination in the Assassin's Creed series, featuring the latest installment of the popular open-world stealth adventure franchise from Ubisoft.

Assassin's Creed Shadows (PS5)

Assassin's Creed Shadows, one of the most anticipated video games of 2025, is the latest chapter in the Assassin's Creed universe. In it, players explore the feudal era of Japan through the eyes of two warriors: a heavily armed samurai named Yasuke and a shinobi named Naoe. Although they chart different paths, they have one thing in common: protecting the innocent and fighting against the guilty.

This game can be enjoyed in two different ways: stealth or brute force. Yasuke is mostly focused on offense and defense. Not only he can attack enemies with his katana, but he can wield ranged weapons such as the arrow as well as heavy weapons which are slow but powerful when used right. Naoe, meanwhile, centers on speed and stealth. She can hide through surroundings, using the top of the rooftops for observing areas, and like all good assassins in the franchise, the signature Leap of Faith. How you approach the quests is entirely up to you.

Mastering both protagonists is crucial in this game. If enemies or challenges get tougher, especially in familiar areas, you can always return later after gaining better abilities and equipment.

Assassin's Creed Shadows faithfully recreates feudal-era Japan, allowing players to immerse themselves in history as they explore villages, temples, shrines, and the rich flora and fauna of this period.

In addition to changes in time and weather, the changing seasons play a significant role in the game. As the seasons shift, your strategies for navigating familiar areas will also need to adapt. For example, during winter, the snowy paths muffle your footsteps, but sneaking across snow-covered rooftops demands careful precision, as you never know who might be lurking below.

As expected, you can expect post-launch content coming soon on Assassin's Creed Shadows such as weapons, equipment, quests, and more.

Setting the latest Assassin's Creed game in feudal-era Japan is a dream come true for fans of the franchise. Finally, this installment surpasses Tenchu, Ghost of Tsushima, and Sekiro by a significant margin. It really is one of the must-play games of 2025 and you can't argue with it.

Twisters (2024 film)

The 1996 disaster movie "Twister" saw a group of underdogs tracking down the most powerful storm in decades. With global warming becoming the talk of the world, it became appropriate to unleash its modern-day sequel to the 1996 blockbuster.

Twisters

Directed by Lee Isaac Chung and produced by the same folks behind the Jurassic, Bourne, and Indiana Jones series, Twisters is a modern-day chapter of the 1996 classic disaster flick where a group of storm chasers tracks down powerful tornadoes wreaking havoc across the village.

It's a shame the original cast didn't make it to this sequel, which is the biggest weakness this movie showcases, but this movie feels topical and real at the same time because it showcases the grim reality of today's world where global warming can easily trigger record-breaking storms, especially twisters. This is exactly why a modern-day take on a 1996 classic was made.

Amazingly, RAM Trucks were involved in this movie, providing their toughest trucks to withstand the world's deadliest tornadoes unleashed in this movie. Thank you, Stellantis.

Although it nearly doesn't feel like the original, Twisters showcased the grim reality of today's world thanks to global warming. If you got blown away by the 1996 original, just wait until you enjoy its present-day chapter. Be warned.

Dune: Part Two

The Dune saga returns in the latest installment of the movie adaptation of the best-selling book series where Paul Atreides continues his journey across the most dangerous planet in the universe.

Dune: Part Two

With Timothee Chalamet reprising his Paul Atreides role as well as Zendaya as Chani from the previous installment, the second chapter of the Dune saga directed by Denis Villeneuve sees Paul and Chani as well as the Fremen as he's going hellbent on revenge against those who killed his family. Caught in a consequential choice between love and the fate of the universe, Paul is on a mission to avert a possible cataclysm he foresaw.

The second part of the Dune saga truly picked up where the first part left off spectacularly as fans prepared to see what's next for Paul Atreides as he's on a critical race against time to save the universe by all means. Not only the sequel is better than the first Dune movie, but it's also better than most of the sequels of every movie universe we know such as Batman's The Dark Knight and Star Wars' The Empire Strikes Back. A real tour de force for the first quarter of 2024.

If you enjoyed the first Dune movie three years ago, now's your chance to pick up where it left off with Part Two. It's worth catching up if you're into it.

Barbie The Movie

From the long line of dolls little girls of all ages played, the world of Barbie comes to life in this live-action movie adaptation and having generated so much hype thanks to the so-called meme it made since its announcement, the world's gone pink with the Barbie movie and it's time to party.

Barbie

Starring Margot Robbie as the iconic doll Barbie and Ryan Gosling as Ken, the world of Barbie comes to life in this live-movie adaptation where viewers enter Barbie Land, a place where every day is the best day ever, but for Barbie, her best day ever went under because...let's say she's starting to stand up on her own, something that a Barbie doll can't do. With that, Barbie and Ken set off on an adventure away from Barbie Land and into the real world.

Packed with witty humor, musical numbers, and overall girl power, no other words can describe the hype caused by the Barbie movie. In fact, this movie is everything, just like Barbie...or perhaps anybody can be like Barbie...or Ken.

Anyway, like the meme it triggered since its announcement, this movie is just like every other toy-based movie like Transformers and LEGO, but because this is a girls' content movie, it's anyone's guess after all, not to mention the fact that the folks from General Motors contributed to this film by featuring Barbie's electric C1 Corvette, Ken's Hummer EV, and of course while getting stuck in the real world, a Chevrolet Blazer EV SS.

Call it plastic but this movie is fantastic. This is probably one of the must-watch movies in the summer season and like Barbie herself, it's everything...or Ken.

Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny

The final chapter of the Indiana Jones saga has arrived and it promises to be the ultimate Indiana Jones movie to end all Indiana Jones movies since Raiders of the Lost Ark. Nothing can prepare you for the climax.

Indiana Jones and the
Dial of Destiny

With veteran actor Harrison Ford donning his iconic outfit and his signature whip, cue the whipping noise, Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny is the final installment of the Indiana Jones saga where the legendary adventurer takes on an epic globetrotting escapade where he will face his fate. 

Alongside Ford, the final Indiana Jones movie features an all-star ensemble such as Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Antonio Banderas, John Rhys-Davies, Toby Jones, Boyd Holbrook, Ethann Isidore, and Mads Mikkelsen.

Since Raiders of the Lost Ark, the Indiana Jones saga is proven to be the second-best thing to come out from the mind of George Lucas after Star Wars, and with the Dial of Destiny, think of it as the equivalent of either Return of the Jedi or The Rise of Skywalker because it truly signaled the end of an exciting adventure.

From exotic locations, intense action sequences, thrilling suspense, and classic Indiana Jones moments, this movie truly is the one to end it all, the ultimate Indiana Jones experience from the beginning to the end not just for the whole movie but for the entire Indiana Jones adventure. A fitting end to one of the best adventure movie franchises in history.

It's an honor to be with you until the very end, Dr. Jones.

Optimus Prime and the Autobots are back on the big screen as they're teaming up with their ancestral heroes to stop an ancient threat from destroying the world.

Transformers: Rise of the Beasts

Transformers: Rise of the Beasts is the latest installment of the Transformers movie universe where it thrusts moviegoers back to the 90s in an epic globetrotting battle between good and evil. In this movie, Optimus Prime and the Autobots are joining forces with the Maximals, a legendary faction of heroes led by Optimus Primal. The Maximals debuted in the Beast Wars cartoon a long time ago and with two heroic factions teaming up against an ancient menace, it's a dream team worth dreaming about.

With Prime and Bumblebee looking retro in this movie, this movie welcomes fresh additions to the Autobot faction such as the motorbike Autobot named Arcee and a 993-spec Porsche 911 Autobot named Mirage. Yes, there's a Porsche in the film because 2023 is the year of the Porsche, this is why a 993-spec 911 earned a starring role in this Transformers adventure. As they team up with Primal, Cheetor, and the other Maximals, they're up against a renegade faction plotting to destroy the universe; the Terrorcons consisting of Scourge, Terrorcon Freezer, Nightbird, and Battletrap.

It's been a long time coming for fans of the Transformers franchise as they've got their wish to see Autobots and Maximals, well some of them, teaming up on the big screen, and this dream team is worthy of a conversation after watching the whole film. 

With a high-octane blend of action, suspense, drama, and a few laughs in store, this epic rollercoaster ride is knife edge from start to finish and this is going to be one of the must-watch films of the summer, well, it's classified superhero flick because the Autobots and Maximals were really superheroes in the Transformers multiverse and although creepy when you look at them for a long time, they sure know how to act like superheroes in this newest adventure. Let's hope for more like them in their future adventures.

This is Transformers like no other and Rise of the Beasts truly is a blowout for the fans of the franchise. In other words...SMASHING.
