There are no rules in Moominvalley — or, at least, there aren’t supposed to be. No one can police the wondrous bounds of its nature and the creatures that call the harmonious landscape home. So when a self-appointed Park Keeper and his goon squad of police officers start setting up manicured parks with groomed hedges, gates, and — worst of all — rules, Moominvalley starts to fall into chaos. Everything that was once good and peaceful is disrupted. When Snufkin returns from an adventure in a distant land, Moominvalley is unrecognizable and his best friend Moomintroll missing, having been arrested and tossed into a cage while trying to stop this downfall.

There’s no shame in admitting that you enjoy the company of a teddy bear in Fallout 76 over the ghouls and mutants. In fact, we would probably prefer spending time finding these cuddly bears than playing with the other players, but these stuffed animals are a rare commodity in the wasteland. Technically, these are classified as a junk item that you can break down for materials, but who would do something like that? These are great display items to make your camp feel more like home, or just another annoying daily task you need to complete. Whatever your motivations are, here is where you can find each of the different teddy bear variations in Fallout 76.

The first major DLC expansion for Fallout 4 lets players go to the abandoned amusement park called Nuka-World. While there's plenty of fun and excitement to be had here, don't expect it to come from the roller coasters or carnival games since this park is the battleground between rival raider gangs. This new zone adds a ton of new quests and side activities to the base experience, but it isn't as simple to get to as a real theme park. Don't worry if your Pip-Boy isn't helping you get to Nuka-World — we'll show you how to start this DLC.

Lionsgate Television announced on Wednesday that the studio is set to produce an English-language television adaptation of Park-chan Wook’s 2003 thriller Oldboy. The movie, one of the most mesmerizing, memorable dark action movies of the 2000s, started a new wave of Korean action cinema when it was first released. It’s since spawned endless copycats and homages — particularly its grim, bloody single-take hammer-in-a-hallway fight sequence, which filmmakers still frequently cite as an inspiration for their own battle scenes in constricted spaces. A 4K restoration was released in American theaters in 2023, and came in second at the box office in its first week, beaten only by Barbie. Spike Lee remade the movie as an English-language thriller in 2013, but it’s never been adapted for television before.

It’s a big week for TV! By which I mean, to me, there’s a lot of bangers this week.

Zoos have an important role to play in the modern world. While their roots might be in the collecting of exotic creatures to show off a ruler or nation’s power and influence, the modern zoo has turned toward education and science, to preservation and even trying to reverse the thoughtless and destructive repercussions of hundreds of years of human expansion. When it comes to Planet Zoo the foundations are still those serious ecological issues, but Frontier has crafted a fun and enjoyable park management experience within them. Following the game’s launch on PC in 2019, the animal parks are now finally opening to console owners as well.

We've had a fair number of exciting new game releases lately, and they've all had a moment to shin in the UK's physical games chart. This time, though, it's the turn of South Park: Snow Day, which makes a perhaps surprising debut at number three. It's behind usual hits EA Sports FC 24 and Hogwarts Legacy, with the PS5 version the most popular.

TV has gotten off to a strong start in 2024. Shōgunis legitimately fantastic, and the kind of weekly watercooler show we’ve been missing as a culture in a post-Game of Thronesworld. Delicious in Dungeonhas stolen my heart and my stomach. TV adaptations of Mr. & Mrs. Smith, The Gentlemen,and The Three-Body Problemwere all considerably better than I expected. And in the world of cape fiction, Invinciblehas continued its strong run, and the X-Men are back! Even with all that, the year in television is just starting. There are tons of exciting shows around the corner, like Park Chan-wook’s The Sympathizer, Prime Video’s Falloutshow, and new seasons of Evil, Taskmaster,Interview with the Vampire, andDoctor Who.

South Park: Snow Day could only manage to debut at third place in this week’s UK physical game charts.

The South Park franchise has an eclectic history of genre choices, trying (and mostly failing) everything from FPS to kart racer. 2014's South Park: The Stick of Truth and its comic-book-themed follow-up redressed the balance with an excellent comedic spin on the old-school RPG. Now it takes another genre pivot, becoming the latest property to wade into a heaving pool of co-op roguelikes.

is the most recent entry in the rejuvenated video game series, which began with 2014's and was followed by 2017's. Unfortunately, whereas the previous titles were extremely well received upon their release, parodying the fantasy and superhero genres with the series' trademark sense of humor and 2D animation that made them feel like extended episodes of the show, has not had as much acclaim.

When most people think of video games, they likely think of stealing cars in GTA, or a little plumber eating mushrooms that make him grow. Video games have been about a lot more than that for a long time, though. Sometimes, all we want a video game to do is let us live in a reality different from our own. That reality can be as close to real life as you like through a series like The Sims, or you can experience what it's like to build and run your very own theme park, something RollerCoaster Tycoon fans have been doing for the past 25 years.

Dark And Darker might finally be easy to find and play soon following a year of legal battles between its developer Ironmace and Nexon.

We went hands-on with the multiplayer spin-off ahead of its March 26 release and, full disclosure, got our asses handed to us by Stan and his elves.

There’s the adorable Puppy Bowl, and a kid-friendly Nickelodeon presence complete with a SpongeBob concert inspired by “Band Geeks.” But one of the most important ancillary Super Bowl draws is all of the high-budget commercials and trailers that launch alongside the event.
