Welcome… to Jurassic Park! Again!

It’s fitting then that the first trailer for Rebirth isn’t […]

There’s never been a better time to curl up with a book that can transport you someplace more wondrous, strange, or exciting. This year will see some big releases from established bestsellers, like a Cosmere short story collection from Brandon Sanderson, and V.E. Schwab’s Sapphic vampire epic Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil. There are also a few rumors swirling about, but no confirmed release dates for some hotly anticipated sequels and prequels, including James Islington’s second Hierarchy novel and and a Witcher prequel from Andrzej Sapkowski featuring a teenaged Geralt, already published in Poland late last year.*  

Fantastical mysteries are having a moment, whether you like them gritty or cozy, including Emily Paxman’s Death on the Caldera. But perhaps your preferred flavor of fantasy is much darker. There are some incredible, creepy gothic fantasies coming this year from masters of the dark fiction, including Cassandra Khaw’s The Library at Hellebore (in a gorgeous deluxe edition, no less) and Leech author Hiron Ennes’ rat-infested, unhinged latest, The Works of Vermin.

Romantasy is still producing the biggest bestsellers with the most gorgeous covers and decorative edges and shows no signs of going away. Rebecca Yarros’ Fourth Wing sequel Onyx Storm was definitely 2025’s most anticipated release, but, as it came out in January… the wait is over. But Den of Geek has a list of more upcoming fantasy books that shouldn’t be missed.

Screenwriter Bob Gale knows that people want to see a new Back to the Future movie. In fact, he even has a succinct and definitive answer at the ready. “People always say, ‘When are you going to do Back to the Future 4,‘” Gale said (via Yahoo!). “And we say, ‘F*** you.’” That might sound […]

The Switch’s massive success over the last eight years has helped it accumulate one of the most impressive RPG libraries in history. From beloved classics to modern favorites, these are the 15 best RPGs on the Nintendo console.

15. Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch

It may be more than a decade old at this point, but Ni No Kuni is still a wonderful mix of all the best parts of classic JRPGs and newer ideas. Gameplay leans a little bit into the Tales series, with a bit of Pokémon influence as well, but very much has its own identity. Either way, the combination of solid combat and explor

Welcome… to Jurassic Park! Again!

Just a few years after Jurassic World: Dominion flooded the planet with dinosaurs giant locusts, Paramount is sending us back to Isla Nublar, hopefully to recreate some of the magic of the original Steven Spielberg movie with Jurassic World: Rebirth.

It’s fitting then that the first trailer for Rebirth isn’t just shots of new heroes played by Scarlett Johansson and Mahershala Ali. The trailer is also filled with references to the original film, its sequels, and even the Michael Crichton novel that inspired it all.

By this point, most fans know the liberties that Spielberg and his screenwriter David Koepp, who shares a credit with Crichton and writes the screenplay for Rebirth, took with the novel. The book imagined the lawyer Donald Gennaro not as a selfish coward who died on the toilet but as a good man who sacrificed himself to save kids Lex and Tim. Conversely, the novel presented John Hammond not as Santa Claus masquerading as an entrepreneur, but as cruel man who cares more about the bottom line than he does his own
