Right on cue, Marvel dropped another Multiverse of Madness trailer on Wednesday to highlight that we're 30 days away from seeing Doctor Strange return to the big screen. With the Everly Brothers as our musical guides, the clip hints at a demented series of dreamscapes with foreboding real-world consequences. Or multiverse consequences, rather.

The trailer opens with darkness surrounding a disintegrating Sanctum Sanctorum and Christine walking down the aisle in a wedding dress. Strange is dreaming, while a distraught Scarlet Witch talks about her recurring nightmare about her missing sons. How many versions of Wanda Maximoff will we get to see? Battles through infinite universes are promised, and we also get a glimpse of a Doctor Strange variant whose open third eye will certainly make things interesting.

It’s easy to be dismissive of the increasing popularity of classic game remasters — after all, why create something new when you can sell something that already exists? That said, some of the most beloved games from previous generations deserve to be updated for modern hardware, and Max Payne is one of them. Rockstar Games and Remedy Entertainment have announced remakes of the first two games in the series: Max Payne and Max Payne: The Fall of Max Payne.

Nintendo will have the chance to kick, spike and serve their way through Switch Sports, a sequel to the popular game from 2006. With a recent overview video we've scored more details about how the new Switch game will work.



You may be wondering what the sports included in the game will look like, or if Miis are making a comeback. The video confirms that players will indeed be able to play as the classic Wii avatars. It also includes snippets of the game's six sports in action (sorry, baseball fans, the Wii Sports favorite has been axed). The game offers volleyball, badminton, bowling, soccer, tennis and "chambara," which lets players test their swordplay skills.

For the last couple of months, I've been trying to figure out why everyone currently drawing breath in this cursed earthly realm can't stop playing, or talking about, Elden Ring.
It's a mystery. It makes no sense.
Elden Ring, a brutally challenging open world RPG, hasn't just been popular. The numbers have been astronomical.
Popularity was to be expected: From Software has released a number of hit titles. Dark Souls and Bloodborne have deservedly reached millions of players. But Elden Ring's level of success has put the famed developer into a whole other stratosphere.

Pokemon players can now add two more mythical monsters to their collections in Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. After downloading the recent 1.3.0 update, you'll be able to obtain items that lead to encounters with Arceus and Darkrai, making this your first opportunity to get the mythical Pokemon in the games.

How to catch Arceus
Before you can encounter Arceus in Pokemon Brilliant Diamond or Shining Pearl, you'll first need to have entered the Hall of Fame and obtained the National Pokedex in the remakes, as well as cleared all of the main story missions in the Pokemon Legends: Arceus game.
Once you've met those requirements, return to your bedroom in Twinleaf Town and obtain the Azure Flute. Take the item to Spear Pillar atop Mount Coronet and you'll trigger an encounter with Arceus.

How to catch Darkrai
To encounter Darkrai, you'll need to have the Member Card, which will be distributed via Mystery Gift between April 1 and April 30. Once you've obtained the Member Card, you'll gain access to the locked inn at Canalave City. Upon entering the inn, you'll travel to Newmoon Island, where you'll encounter Darkrai.
You'll need the Member Card, which is being distributed via Mystery Gift between the new moons, to encounter Darkrai.

The Bandersnatch comparisons come up immediately with this digestible Netflix horror thriller centered on a cursed video game.
Choose or Die asks its protagonists to select between two dangerous options in the real world, neither more appealing than the other. But in this noninteractive movie, we aren't the ones clicking our remotes and choosing our own adventure.

A group of workers at Apple's flagship retail store in Manhattan has begun formally gathering signatures to form a union, The Washington Post reported Saturday. Organizers at Apple's Grand Central Terminal store say they voted Feb. 21 to affiliate with Workers United, the national labor union involved in recent efforts to unionize at Starbucks outlets, the paper reported.
If the organizers can collect enough signatures and then either bring about a successful union vote or prompt Apple to voluntarily recognize a union, the iPhone maker's Grand Central store would, the Post said, become the first of its retail outlets to unionize. At least three additional Apple stores are working toward forming unions, the Post said, citing anonymous employees.
