Marvel Legends Series Doctor Doom Premium Helmet

$100 | Releases June 1 / August 1

Preorder at Amazon Preorder at Best Buy

One of the most iconic Marvel villains, Dr. Doom, is making his debut in the Marvel Cinematic Universe next year with the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday film. MCU-alum Robert Downey Jr.--who previously played Tony Stark, aka Iron Man--is returning to don the villain's metallic mask, and soon fans will be able to do the same with the new Marvel Legends Series Doctor Doom Premium Helmet. The wearable collectible is available to preorder for $100 at Amazon and Best Buy.

Amazon lists the release date as August 1, but Best Buy's listing says June 1. It's possible Best Buy has a timed exclusive, but it's also possible one of the retailers will update the date to match the other.

Marvel Legends Series Doctor Doom Premium Helmet $100 | Releases June 1 / August 1

This 1:1 scale helmet is based on Dr. Doom's classic appearance in the Fantastic Four comics, featuring his signature metal mask and green hood. The helmet measures 15 inches long, 9.5 inches wide, and 10 inches tall, which is big enough to be worn by most adults, making it a great cosplay piece. It also comes with a display stand emblazoned with Dr. Doom's insignia if you want to show it off as a collectible on your shelf. The hood is also removable, revealing the full helmet.

While we don't know if this is what Dr. Doom's costume will look like in Avengers: Doomsday, it's still a cool collectible for Marvel fans. Considering how much buzz there is around the new movie and Downey Jr.'s upcoming portrayal of the character, it's wise to preorder the Marvel Legends Series Doctor Doom Premium Helmet before it sells out.

Capcom has outlined what players can expect from the next update for Monster Hunter Wilds, mainly fixes for some frustrating bugs that made customizing equipment or collecting monster parts more frustrating.

Monster Hunter Wilds launched on the last day of February and has already sold over 8 million copies, according to Capcom. While Monster Hunter Wilds is a great game overall, players did spot several issues that made the hunting process more frustrating. Ahead of Title Update 1's release next month, Capcom has outlined the issues it plans to fix in Monster Hunter Wilds Ver. 1.000.05.00 on March 10.

That notably includes a glitch where cut-off monster parts would change into different monster parts and issues that would revert certain customization changes when using the Equipment Loadout menu. You can check out the full list of issues Capcom plans to resolve in Ver. 1.000.05.00 below, courtesy of the official support page for Monster Hunter Wilds.

Microsoft has lost this console generation to Sony when it comes to pure sales, but according to one analyst, the release of GTA 6 could be a "last hurrah" for the Xbox Series X and S consoles. Rhys Elliott of MIDiA Research said in an interview that, although Sony will emerge as this console generation's victor, Microsoft could benefit substantially from GTA 6's launch in terms of hardware sales, especially of the less expensive Series S console.

"Like Rockstar's other flagship titles, GTA 6 will hit PlayStation and Xbox before it hits PC. Therefore, it could pay off for Xbox to have a significant Series S push and fire sale to tie in with GTA 6--as one last hurrah for this generation," Elliott told Windows Central. "The marketing team should be banging the drum, highlighting that 'The Series S is the most accessible way to play GTA 6.' A sub-$200 Series S could be an enticing entry point to GTA for cash-strapped consumers, of which there are many, thanks to today's tumultuous economy and cost-of-living crisis."

Currently, the 512 GB Xbox Series S is priced at $300, with the 1 TB version going for $350--it's not uncommon to see lower prices, though. Even if those prices hold until GTA 6 launches this year, the Series S would remain the least-expensive console someone could buy to play GTA 6, as the Series X and PS5 are more expensive.

Atomfall is a detective game. Yes, the post-apolyctic first-person shooter from the Sniper Elite studio feels more like Paradise Killer than Fallout. Rather than ping-ponging between objective markers around a map, Atomfall's story is structured around a series of clues that are organically picked up and tracked as you explore its world. Its quests are nonlinear and you're gently guided to points of interest. From there, it's on you to reference your quest log and put the story of its world together.

Atomfall's world might look derivative given how prevalent the post-apocalyptic genre is, but its setting and tone do a lot to differentiate it from its peers. The game takes place five years after the Windscale fire of 1957, a real-world event that happened in the UK and is considered one of the worst nuclear accidents in history. However, Atomfall envisions a world that never properly recovered from that disastrous event. Violent factions have popped up all over England, irradiated monsters roam the wilds, and--of course--there might be a few government conspiracies at play.

Swinging the axe in Atomfall

While this may sound like Fallout England, Atomfall's tone is quite different. The dark, sarcastic humor of the wasteland is mostly replaced with a more grounded take on the genre. Creative Director Ben Fisher really wanted to capture the look and feel of British speculative fiction and science-fiction from the 1950s and 1960s, like Doctor Who and John Wyndham novels. The result feels like a uniquely British take on the post-apocalyptic setting.

Since 2020, Destiny 2 has pit the three Guardian classes against each other in the Guardian Games to determine whether the Titans, the Warlocks, or the Hunters will reign supreme for a year. On March 11, the 2025 Guardian Games will begin with a few changes. Guardian Games Nightfalls and Focused Activities have been dropped from this year's event. In their place is a new boss rush mode called Rushdown, which looks like it will test even the most seasoned Destiny 2 players.

Bungie has shared the details for this year's Guardian Games, including the way that Rushdown will work. Rushdown will assemble bosses from the campaigns, the seasonal story missions, and the exotic missions in battles that will get exponentially more difficult for players. Each run through Rushdown will feature five boss encounters, all of which must be completed before time expires. Time gets added to the clock with each boss that goes down, and teams that finish more quickly have a better chance of earning higher quality rewards.

Rushdown includes warm-up, standard, and expert modes, but only the last two will include combatants with modifiers while also letting players receive revive tokens. However, players will get a higher score if they use fewer revive tokens. All three modes will be open for standard matchmaking, class-based matchmaking, and private fireteam matches. Players will be judged by how many bosses they defeated and by their overall score.

Split Fiction is the latest co-op adventure game from Hazelight, the studio behind Game of the Year winner It Takes Two as well as prison escape game A Way Out. Alternating between sci-fi and fantasy world, Split Fiction requires communication, cooperation, and puzzle-solving skills if you want to make it all the way through. However, it's not too long of a game, and you'll soon be reaching the end if you work well with your co-op partner.

How long to beat Split Fiction - main story length

If you focus solely on the main story and don't complete any of the Split Fiction side stories, you can expect to finish the game in around 12 hours. However, we don't recommend taking this approach as the multitude of side stories flesh out Zoe and Mio's characters and provide important context to their history.

The Ice King's deception in Split Fiction starts early on, as Mio and Zoe will need to work together to solve several puzzles before they can meet him. The first of these is the door puzzle, which throws players off by providing almost useless symbols into the mix.

Ice King Palace door puzzleIce King Palace door puzzle solution

The instinct is to look at the symbols and match them with the icons on the door, but this isn't quite the way to solve this puzzle. When you get to the large door with the symbols on, turn Zoe into her fairy form and use the nearby flower trail to gain access through the door via the lock. Meanwhile, Mio should wait outside in her monkey form.

When she gets inside, Zoe will spot a lever and four buttons that control the outside buttons. Instead of matching the symbols, you want to get the notches around the outside of the buttons to line up with the flowing vines until they light up.

In WWE 2K25's new Island mode, you'll explore an open-world PvPvE hub full of shops, events, and other players. But one thing you might lose track of is how to change your character's appearance in The Island. In our brief guide, we'll walk you through how to do just that, so your future WWE superstar can look just the way you want them to. Better yet, this same method we'll show you also lets you adjust their moveset to your liking.

How to customize your character's appearance and moves in WWE 2K25 The Island

There's only one way to change what your character looks like in The Island, since it's a mode split off from your library of create-a-wrestlers (CAWs) and your MyRise story mode superstar. When you create your Island character, the game might usher you right past the customization suite, leaving you to need to get back to it after some brief onboarding into the new mode.

Once you can freely explore the Island, you'll want to look for a pathway between the pink-colored barber shop and the Nike and Jordan stores. Down that way, you'll see an elaborate building decorated with Cody Rhodes' American Nightmare logo.

An unannounced game from Respawn Entertainment, the studio behind Apex Legends and the Star Wars Jedi games, was apparently scrapped this week.

Former Respawn production coordinator Emilee Evans shared in a LinkedIn post on Wednesday that the "unannounced incubation project" she was involved in for the past year was canceled this week. While there is no concrete information on what the project was, a job posting for the studio's incubation game team from Respawn last year hinted that it was a multiplayer FPS in very early stages.

Reports indicated that Respawn was working on a game in the Titanfall universe, though it wasn't necessarily Titanfall 3. Titanfall director Steve Fukuda was also in charge of a small team for a project unrelated to Titanfall, as of 2023. It is unclear if the recently canceled game was either of these projects.

Jackbox Games has been around in multiple incarnations over the past three decades thanks to its addictive party games, including You Don't Know Jack. Now, Jackbox's library of gaming titles is making the leap to smart TVs, courtesy of the new Jackbox app.

Via Jackbox Games' official site, the company announced that the app is a result of a partnership with Amazon Web Services GameLift Streams, which will utilize the cloud to launch Jackbox's titles on smart TVs and other platforms.

While the announcement doesn't mention any specific titles that will be included, it does note that the Jackbox app "will offer a small collection of ad-supported games for free." The company indicated that it plans to eventually offer the full catalogue of Jackbox Games titles as a subscription service, but didn't offer any hints as to how much that would cost or when it might come to fruition. Jackbox also suggested that the app could be headed to additional platforms if it gets a favorable response.

Fans waiting for news regarding updates or additional DLC for Starfield will have to wait a while longer, as developer Bethesda Softworks has acknowledged the lack of updates but promises "exciting things" are in the works for later this year.

Microsoft is not having a good week with its Xbox firmware updates. Just hours after the latest Xbox Insider update reportedly reverted consoles back to their factory settings, Microsoft has acknowledged that the new firmware for Xbox wireless controllers has caused some problems with Bluetooth connectivity and performance.

In an update on the Xbox support site, Microsoft specifies that the Xbox wireless controllers firmware update is specifically causing some issues with "older non-Xbox devices." Microsoft's suggestion is that if players are having trouble with their controller's Bluetooth connectivity, then they should revert the controllers to a previous firmware. A follow-up message on social media indicates that Xbox Support is looking for a more permanent solution.

We are aware of an issue with the Xbox Wireless Controller 5.23.5.0 firmware update. Our teams are actively working on a solution. In the meantime, players can revert their controller's firmware by following the steps provided on Xbox Support: https://t.co/JkGBDUCaR8

— Xbox Support (@XboxSupport) March 6, 2025

As annoying as that issue may be, it pales in comparison to the adverse effects of the Xbox Insider update. Users are reporting that the firmware did not erase the games that they had downloaded on their consoles, but everything else was essentially starting over from scratch. Ironically, that Insider update was meant to fix a minor issue regarding the way players view their Xbox profiles. Entirely erasing those profiles was an unintended consequence.

While traveling throughout Mio and Zoe's fictional worlds, you might notice benches spread across the levels. There are six benches in Split Fiction in total, and resting on all of them will give you an insight into their worlds in the form of a short conversation. It'll also give you the Sisters: A Tale of Two Besties achievement, so they're worth seeking out if you're trying to get all of the trophies. Both girls must sit on the bench for it to count, and you'll know it's successful if the cameras pan together and the conversation begins.

Below we've laid out all six benches in Split Fiction and precisely where to find them. Plan ahead with our guide as some of these can be easily missed or cut off by triggering cutscenes or parts of a level.

The first bench is near the pool section, which is also the same area as the Mountain Hike side story. After landing on the hotel roof, head to the back and use the zipline to get to the next balcony across. On the left you'll see the bench. If you jump onto the passing car to progress the level, you can't go back, so make sure to seek this out before you go too far.
