Check Out Disneyland’s Guardians of the Galaxy Attraction
Disney has released a video detailing the upcoming Guardians of the Galaxy - Mission: Breakout! attraction at the Disney California park.
According to the Disney blog, the attraction will feature characters from the films, and guests will experience a randomized ride experience, so you're never sure what you're going to get when you go in. Walt Disney Imagineering is bringing The Collector's realm to life, and the new attraction looks like a "warehouse, fortress-like power plant."
PlayStation VR’s Launch Games Reviewed
The PlayStation VR may not technically be its own console, but Sony has mustered an impressive lineup of VR exclusives (and a few that just support it) to accompany its launch on October 13. Below you'll find all the games we've reviewed so far, ranked from best to worst, plus what's yet to come. And of course, make sure to check out our in-depth review of the PlayStation VR headset itself.
Superhypercube is simple, but thankfully the comprehensible premise doesn't confuse simplicity with shallowness. As your skill improves and the challenge increases, rotating and dropping the ever-changing three-dimensional shapes gets ever more engaging. When I eventually, inevitably crashed, I was always hammering restart the moment the prompt appeared. That’s the mark of an amazing puzzle game. - Jared Petty
For Honor Drops Split-Screen
Split-screen functionality has been cut from Ubisoft's upcoming medieval brawler, For Honor.
"We decided this week to cut the split-screen," said producer Stephane Cardin in an in-house interview primarily about the game's closed alpha (below, quote begins at 4:24).
"It was a feature that we loved, but, when we looked at what needs to be done to support online co-op, for us it was critical to make a decision now so we can polish all the features at the AAA level and make sure that we have the most amazing experience."
In a 2015 interview with Gamespot, creative director Jason Vandenberghe explained his feelings on the importance of the feature:
Final Fantasy 15 Shows Off Its Version of Moogles
After some uncertainty, and then a strange kind of confirmation, we now know how Final Fantasy XV will include cutesy series stalwarts, the Moogles.
After a 24-hour countdown, Square Enix revealed a picture of a Moogle doll - the form the recurring race will take in the new game.

Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare and Modern Warfare Remastered Will Be a Combined 130GB Install
Those buying the Legacy edition of Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare - the one that also contains Modern Warfare Remastered - will want to start clearing some hard drive space. It looks like combined download size of both games will be 130GB, minimum.
After a French retailer released empty game boxes to pre-orderers, Charlie Intel reports that PS4 editions of the game include the notice:

New Doctor Strange Promo Turns Back Time, Contains Hidden Messages
A brief new TV spot for Doctor Strange released today, which races through Steven Strange’s origin story in reverse (and contains hidden dialogue when replayed backwards), is being met with speculation that the footage is further evidence of the pending debut of a new Infinity Stone in the Marvel Cinematic Universe: the Time Stone.
Check out the spot as it originally aired:
And now in reverse:
It’s yet to be confirmed but many fans are convinced that Strange’s amulet – the Eye of Agamotto – is the Time Stone. This new time-bending trailer is certainly lending the theory a great deal of credibility.
Legend of Korra Graphic Novel Gets a Release Date
The first installment of The Legend of Korra’s three-part graphic novel series from Dark Horse will be released in June, 2017.
Entertainment Weekly reports that the first part will be called Turf Wars, with series co-creator Michael DiMartino and artist Irene Koh working on the graphic novel. The show’s other co-creator, Bryan Konietzko, is only providing feedback.
Turf Wars will pick up right where the show left off, with Korra and Asami trying to save Republic City from the chaos caused by the spirit portal and the triads, and a greedy developer who wants to turn the city into an amusement park.
The Flash: How Flashpoint Compares to the Comics
The Flash started off its third season on an ambitious note. The premiere episode "Flashpoint" adapted the comic book mini-series of the same name. But while the two versions of Flashpoint share certain basic similarities, this episode was, at best, a very loose adaptation of the source material.
We explored whether that's a good or bad thing in our "Flashpoint" review, but we thought it would be a good idea to dig a little deeper into Flashpoint and explore just how the two versions compare.
Full spoilers for "The Flash" continue below.
The Flashpoint comic was written by Geoff Johns and drawn by Andy Kubert, and it was published as DC's flagship comic during the summer of 2011. The comic presented a dark, almost post-apocalyptic vision of the DC Universe wherein many familiar heroes were MIA and the Amazons and Atlanteans were locked in a perpetual, destructive war.
What Comes After Marvel’s Luke Cage
Marvel's Luke Cage might have just come out on Friday, but if you raced to the end of its 13 episodes like we did, you're likely already ready for more.
Fortunately, Marvel and Netflix have plenty on the horizon, and with Iron Fist's newly announced premiere date, the wait is going to be bearable. Here's a breakdown of what's coming up for Netflix's offerings in the MCU.
Marvel's Iron Fist will serve as an origin story for Danny Rand (Finn Jones), the fourth and final of Marvel's street-level heroes to be introduced before The Defenders. His standalone series will be his debut into the MCU, though there were some Easter eggs layered into Luke Cage that hint at how the shows will all connect together.
