EA Sports FC 27 delivers its strongest tactical system yet, letting players shape formations and roles with genuine strategic depth. However, the new open-world hub The Grounds feels like an unnecessary distraction plagued by technical issues and wooden voice acting. Our full scored review is pending further testing of Career Mode, Ultimate Team, and online play.
Aardman Animations celebrates its 50th year with Shaun the Sheep: The Beast of Mossy Bottom, a Halloween-themed stop-motion feature that honors Universal Monsters classics while delivering the studio's signature visual comedy. The third film in the Shaun trilogy earns a 7/10 for its ambitious scale, clever horror references, and commitment to handmade craftsmanship.
Lanterns Season 1 Episode 4 "The Weenie" delivers compelling friction between Hal Jordan and John Stewart but squanders major DC villains Sinestro and Hector Hammond in brief, inconsequential appearances. The episode continues the Manhunter investigation with clear Hannibal Lecter inspiration while revealing Zoe as the mysterious benefactor behind Will Macon.
The Skytech Gaming Blaze 5 packs an RTX 5070 and Ryzen 7 9800X3D into a tempered glass chassis that looks great on a desk but fights you during upgrades. At $2,299, it delivers respectable 4K performance with DLSS help, yet shines brightest at 1440p where its mid-tier hardware can actually hit high refresh rates.
Crunchyroll's new 12-part fantasy series Goodbye, Lara reimagines The Little Mermaid in modern Japan with a tactile, hand-crafted animation style that recalls classics like Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust. The series debuted July 6 and blends fairy-tale structure with local Shiga Prefecture specificity under director Takushi Koide.
Diplomacy: The Golden Blade Card Game condenses the classic negotiation board game into a 15-minute-per-player card format that preserves the mechanical brilliance of betrayal and alliance. However, the drastically shortened runtime strips away the emotional weight that makes those betrayals meaningful, leaving a clever but hollow experience.
X-Men '97 Season 2 concludes with "Survival of the Fittest," an episode that delivers spectacular mutant-on-mutant action but fumbles the season's primary villain. The finale's brief Apocalypse confrontation feels anticlimactic compared to the original series' "Beyond Good and Evil" arc, while Nightcrawler's sacrifice provides the episode's only genuine emotional payoff.
Protect your $400 Nintendo Switch 2 with a highly-rated, budget-friendly solution. The JSAUX Screen Protector, available in a 3-pack for $7.10, offers 9H tempered glass protection with 99% transparency. Ideal for heavy users, it's easy to apply and resistant to scratches and fingerprints.
House of the Dragon Season 3 Episode 7 finally explores the emotional bond between dragon and rider, delivering an engaging episode that reshapes the battlefield ahead of the finale. Rhaenyra's dragon advantage shrinks while the Greens gain ground through treachery and poison.
Batman: Caped Crusader returns for a second season on Prime Video with a sharper focus on its rogues gallery and a compelling new Joker, but the series still struggles to make its title character interesting. The 10-episode season premieres July 31 and delivers stronger villain writing even as Batman himself remains psychologically inert.
