Fans were then given the opportunity to get Quake 2 for free if they helped Bethesda meet its charity fundraising goal.

Since then, Bethesda has been so impressed that it has decided to give away Quake 3, too....

NetherRealm Studios had already established the art of adding a worthy story mode in a fighting game through the Mortal Kombat series, but they would repeat this success again with the Injustice series, using a worthy comic book storyline that rivals both live-action and animated movies....

ReBoot was the first completely computer-animated half-hour action-adventure show. Produced by Canadian company Mainframe Entertainment. It aired from 1994 to 2001. Chances are if you grew up in the 90s, you saw this show and followed the harrowing adventures of Bob, Dot Matrix, Enzo, Phong, AndrAIa, and the other citizens of Mainframe, though it’s sadly not talked about much today in spite of being revolutionary for the world of computer animation....

There is no other way to describe The Star Wars sequel trilogy other than that it is a bit of a mess. The plot is all over the place, it retreads a lot of the same ground as the original, and the directors simply had different visions of what they wanted, especially when it comes to The Rise of Skywalker. Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker underwent a significant amount of rewrites when it was originally created, as the first director, Colin Trevorrow left the project....

Despite being a cult hit on the NES, River City Ransom has grown into quite the large franchise. One of the very first games you could consider “open-world,” Ransom was overlooked in its heyday for being weird and different. Through fans keeping its legacy alive, there are now so many sequels, spin-offs, and reimaginings that you’d be forgiven for assuming the original was a massive hit. None of those continuations really captured what made the original so memorable....
