Minecraft is at it again with another DLC. Instead of having NERF battles or becoming a Jedi, you'll be joined by the King of Monsters, Godzilla.

Thanks to a Minecraft blog post, we know that the DLC will cost 1,510 Minecoins (Minecraft's premium currency), which equates to roughly $10. Before players choose which modes they want to play, they'll load into a theater that'll be "covered in iconic memorabilia" and be able to interact with items that they've unlocked.

The DLC will have four different adventures, each based on one of Godzilla's films. The first mission will have players trying to escape the city and Godzilla's heat rays while looking for loot. While they're escaping, players will receive additional points for saving others.

James Cameron is responsible for a bunch of the most popular movies of all time. His films grossing a combined $8 billion worldwide.

Preorders for Aliens are currently listed for just $25 at Walmart. The three-disc set marks the first time the movie has ever been available in this format.

Super Bowl 58 takes place on February 11, 2024, with the Kansas City Chiefs hitting the gridiron to take on the San Francisco 49ers. This will Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes' fourth Super Bowl in five years. And sure, while many of us will be tuning in for the football game or the shots of Taylor Swift cheering on her boyfriend, there's a far more important reason to watch the Super Bowl: The commercials.

Given the size of the TV audience that tunes into the big game ever year, advertisers are eager to show off their products and services, and are willing to pay top dollar. CBS and Paramount+ (the broadcast network and streaming service that are airing the game in 2024) wanted $7 million for a 30-second ad played during the 58th Super Bowl. And yes, every single slot has been sold out, so it'll be a packed game.

But what about getting all of the ads in one place, without all of that pesky football getting in the way? Thankfully, Super Bowl commercials start releasing in the week before the big game these days, meaning we can already watch some of them right now. Stay tuned to this post, as we will continue to add new commercials as they are released--and, of course, we'll make sure to post any that don't pop online before the game once they've aired on TV. So strap in for good times that include Arnold Schwarzenegger as a State Farm agent, Jenna Ortega selling us chips, and Ice Spice representing Starry, which is basically just the replacement for Pepsi's Sierra Mist.

Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League is out now for players who purchase the game's more expensive edition which includes, among other perks, a few days of early access. That means some DC Comics fans are well on their way to weighing the merits of Rocksteady's first post-Batman game, even as it's still set in the Arkhamverse. But according to one early scene in the game, Rocksteady still doesn't consider WB Montreal's Batman: Arkham Origins to be part of that story universe.

Please note this story contains minor spoilers for Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League (and the Arkham series) past this point.

About an hour into the game, your ragtag group of playable villains will find themselves in The Batman Experience, an interactive exhibit set in the Metropolis History Museum dedicated to the Dark Knight himself. As the anti-heroes explore this space, you can activate a great number of displays that discuss Batman's many heroic deeds, as well as his deep rogues gallery of defeated ne'er-do-wells. You can listen to Gotham reporter Jack Ryder's voiceover as he puts into context each of the Big Bads shown throughout the exhibit.

Actor Jack Black is joining yet another video game movie with his starring role in 2025's Minecraft movie. In a new interview, Black talked about appearing in that film and also reacted to the negative critical reception to The Super Mario Bros. Movie, in which he voiced Bowser.

In the newest issue of Total Film (via GamesRadar), Black said Mario and Minecraft are related in that they are both video games, but the Minecraft film is live-action. "Live-action is a different ball of wax," Black said.

He added that he's excited to work with director Jared Hess again after starring in Nacho Libre, which was also directed by Hess. "It's been fun jamming with Jared," Black said.

Evan Rachel Wood, who starred on HBO's Westworld as Dolores, has discussed the show's abrupt cancellation, saying it was "devastating" in part because she doesn't know how the series was supposed to end.

"We were just always told, 'We know how the show ends,' when we started," she said. "They weren't writing it as we went along. They had an idea, and we were all just on a bed of nails waiting to see and hear what the conclusion of this was. What it all meant."

When HBO announced that Westworld would end with Season 4, and the planned fifth season would not go ahead, Wood said she and her castmates were caught off guard.

Diablo 4 is celebrating the Year of the Dragon in style with a new event called Lunar Awakening, one that will transform many of the game's existing activities to have even more lucrative rewards.

As detailed in a blog post, the event is for both the game's Eternal and Seasonal realms, and will run from February 6-20, during which players will be able to take powerful new Lunar Shrine effects for a spine. These shrine buffs are similar to ones already existing in the game and can be found anywhere one would normally find shrines.

However, Lunar Shrines have an added punch of power and additionally grant 50% bonus XP and 30% increased movement speed while active. During the event, Nightmare Dungeon Sigils can additionally have the special Ancestor's Favor dungeon affix, which turns all shrines in the dungeon into Lunar Shrines and rewards additional glyph XP upon dungeon completion. Nightmare Dungeon Sigils with the Ancestor's Favor affix will persist after the end of the event, with Blizzard stating players can "feel free to stockpile aways for days long after the Moon has set on Lunar Awakening."

Major League Baseball and Sony have officially announced MLB The Show 24, and confirmed that Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is on the cover. Once again, the game will see a multiplatform release despite being developed internally at PlayStation. If you're playing on Xbox, the game will launch day-one on Xbox Game Pass. This has been the case every year since MLB The Show 21 in 2021.

MLB The Show 24 will also come to Nintendo Switch, in addition to the usual PlayStation platforms. The game releases on March 19 across all platforms.

According to a report, it was Major League Baseball that requested the MLB The Show series expand to additional platforms. MLB The Show is not the only PlayStation game on Xbox, as the Destiny series--which is owned by Sony--is also on Xbox. Looking the other way around, Microsoft's Minecraft series is on PlayStation, as well as Xbox. Microsoft's Ghostwire: Tokyo and Psychonauts are also published on PlayStation.

Activision has confirmed Season 2 of Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone arrives on February 7, and the newly released promo art confirms that the previously leaked crossover with The Walking Dead is officially happening.

The Season 2 promo art includes Rick Grimes from The Walking Dead, so it seems players can expect his operator bundle to hit the shop sometime during the new season. However, Rick may not be alone in Call of Duty. Data miners also found references to Michonne and a potential limited-time event, which is likely themed around the Rick and Michonne spin-off The Ones Who Live, which releases on February 25.

While not confirmed yet, it's possible Season 2 will also include a crossover with Warhammer 40K, as data mining suggests there will be content themed around the themed around the franchise's Space Marines. These big IP crossovers have become a regular occurrence for Call of Duty, as Season 1 features a current event and bundles themed around The Boys TV show.

Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League might be set in the same universe as the Batman Arkham games, but it works entirely differently when it comes to gameplay. You have the choice of playing Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League as a solo player or up to four-player co-op, with all of your friends able to pick a different character from the squad. However, getting co-op working can be a hassle, and you might also have questions about how cross-play works. This guide will answer all of your questions about playing solo, multiplayer, and how all of this intertwines with cross-play in Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League.

How cross-play works in Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League

First up, let's go over exactly how the cross-play system works. Fortunately for players with friends on different platforms, Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League features fully functioning cross-play and cross-progression systems. This means you can team up with your friends or other players on a different platform than you when trying to play in co-op. Also, with cross-progression, you can access your account's save files and progress on any available platform.

Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League is available for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, so, for example, you can go from PC to PS5 and maintain all of your progress. However, this does mean you need to own Kill The Justice League on both platforms you're trying to play on, as the copies of the game are platform-specific. In addition to keeping your gameplay progress, you also keep all of your in-game purchases, including the battle pass.

Destiny 2 is getting a bunch of new content starting this week, and for fans of BioWare's space-opera Mass Effect, you can look forward to some stylish new armor sets direct from that game universe next month. Available in Destiny 2's Eververse store starting February 13, there'll be a Commander Shepard-inspired N7 armor set for Titans, a Garrus-inspired Vakarian set for Hunters, and a Liara-inspired Shadow Broker set for Warlocks.

Commander Shepard-approved gear, coming soon to Destiny 2.

All players can claim the Alliance Requisitions Bundle for free, adding an Enhanced Defense Ghost Shell, Alliance Scout Frigate ship, and the Alliance Drop Ship Sparrow to their collection. This isn't the first time that Destiny has crossed paths with other video games, as there have been Assassin's Creed and Witcher crossovers in the past.

These are purely cosmetic pieces to change the look of your armor with, and the aesthetic of Mass Effect meshes surprisingly well with Destiny's unique artistic direction. Like other armor sets, you will have to fork out some cash to own these, as they're normally priced at 2,000 Silver. In real-world cash, that works out to $20 for the Destiny 2 premium currency.

A popular way of earning loot inside World of Warcraft Classic has been banned in the MMORPG's latest season, with Blizzard listening to player concerns over how the activity may do more harm than good.

The activity in question is called a GDKP, which stands for gold dragon kill points. It's based on the DKP system of loot distribution that was more popular back in the olden days of Blizzard's MMO but is still used by some guilds today. It's a system that doles out loot based on how much DKP players have accumulated, with guilds having different systems on how many points a player can accumulate for attending raids, downing bosses, and participating in various guild activities. Players can then essentially bid on rare items that drop using their DKP. The more DKP a player earns, the more DKP they have to "spend" on items.

GDKP takes that system, and instead of using imaginary points, uses in-game gold instead. This way of earning loot became a popular way for players with more gold than time to earn loot, and an equally popular way for top guilds to earn gold when WoW Classic released in 2019, as the guild hosting the GDKP would pocket all the gold players used to "purchase" items.

Sonic Superstars launched during the holidays, but the new platformer is already down to just $20 at Best Buy and Amazon.

Sonic Superstars is an easy recommendation if you're a fan of Sonic's 2D adventures. It might boast shiny, 2.5D graphics, but it's an undeniably retro experience. You'll speed through 11 zones as you chase down Dr. Eggman, avoid obstacles, and take down ever-more challenging enemies. Our Sonic Superstars review gave it a 7/10 for its impressive level design and gorgeous graphics, though knocked it for a handful of challenging (and tedious) boss fights.

Best Buy has plenty of other games on sale besides Sonic Superstars. More than two dozen digital Switch games are on sale, including big names like Animal Crossing: New Horizons and New Pokemon Snap. There are also a ton of multiplatform games with price cuts on Switch, Xbox, and PS5. You'll find a few of the best deals below.

Lego is celebrating the 25th anniversary of its partnership with Star Wars this year, and unsurprisingly, this means new Star Wars building kids are on the way. Five sets are releasing on March 1, all of which are available to preorder now. Multiple Star Wars icons are featured in the lineup, including R2-D2 and the Millennium Falcon. Each set has special 25th anniversary iconography, so we wouldn't be surprised to see the sets sell out ahead of launch. Here's a look at all five new Lego Star Wars sets up for grabs.

Lego Star Wars R2-D2 Toy Droid (1,050 pieces) $100

The R2-D2 Toy Droid is both the most expensive set and the set with the most pieces.

It even comes with a minifigure and info plaque for you to include in your display. Note that My Best Buy Plus and Total members get 10% off their preorders.

No starship is as iconic as the Millennium Falcon. Clocking in at just under 1,000 pieces, this set is highly detailed for the price. It contains notable features such as the cockpit, cannons, and satellite dish. The display arm holds the completed piece of art at a slight angle, giving you a better view of your creation.

Preorder at Target Lego Star Wars Boarding the Tantive IV Playset (502 pieces) $55

While the three sets above are meant to be displayed, this diorama can be used as a playset. Along with a small scene from the Tantive IV, it includes seven minifigures (such as Darth Vader, Stormtroopers, and Captain Antilles). Note that My Best Buy Plus and Total members get 10% off their preorders.

There's officially a royal connection to Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul. Saul Goodman actor Bob Odenkirk recently discovered that he's 11th cousins with King Charles III--and no, this isn't some classic Goodman scam.

Rolling Stone reports Odenkirk found out about his new extended family member on the PBS show Finding Your Roots. The comedian--who's also known for HBO's Mr. Show with Bob and David as well as Little Women--laughed about the revelation. "I'm an American. I'm not a monarchist," Odenkirk said with a chuckle. "I don’t believe in, uh, that."

Milly Alcock won't need a dragon to fly for her next huge role. The House of the Dragon actress has been cast as the new Supergirl for the rebooted DC cinematic universe.

According to Deadline, Alcock edged out CODA's Emilia Jones and Zombies star Meg Donnelly for the part. Alcock is best known for portraying the young Rhaenyra Targaryen in House of the Dragon, HBO's prequel series to Game of Thrones. Before that, she starred in the Australian series Upright.

Spec Ops: The Line has been delisted from Steam, with no explanation given from publisher 2K Games as to why the 2012 action game is no longer available to purchase on that digital marketplace. Responding to the surprise delisting, the game's director, Cory Davis, said that it "makes no sense" to see Spec Ops: The Line taken down from Steam.

"Makes no sense --especially because the themes portrayed in Spec Ops: TheLine are more relevant now than ever," Davis wrote in a tweet. "Why has this happened 2K [and] Steam?"

For anyone with a sudden urge to explore the dark themes and sandy action of Spec Ops: The Line, it's not all bad news as the game can still be purchased on other platforms like GOG, the Xbox marketplace, and through key resellers.
