Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is Coming Sooner Than I Thought
I enjoyed Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order as much as the next gamer. And now we’ve got the sequel coming in only a month! Who knew it was coming so soon? Probably everybody. They put out these release dates way ahead of time. I guess I’ve just been too blinded looking forward to that new Zelda game in May. I’ll probably definitely get and play Survivor when it comes out. I’ve got to continuously justify splurging on this Playstation 5, after all.
Looks like fun. I still don’t care about Cal Kestis. People really love this guy, but he’s just a video game protagonist to me. And it looks like he’s getting up to all sorts of new mischief. Two lightsabers?! I think I played the first game on my PS4. I wonder if my PS5 can somehow read my saved games from my previous console to port over the lightsaber I designed. Or maybe we’ll all just design new lightsabers from scratch.
Star Wars Jedi: Survivor comes out on April 28!

Ride Shiny and Bonkers on the Rainbow Road!
The Super Mario Bros. Movie is on its way and they’ve treated us to one last trail ahead of the big premiere. This one is really bonkers, throwing all sorts of Mario stuff at the screen, from power-ups to the glory of Mario Kart. Clearly the filmmakers just wanted to pack as much Mario as possible into their Mario movie. Sounds fun to me!
Short, sweet, and still full of bad voice acting. This is the first time we’re hearing Seth Rogen as Donkey Kong and…it’s just Seth Rogen. And Chris Pratt’s Mario remains terrible. Alas. But I’m hopefully going to be able to put that aside to just enjoy a wild and crazy Super Mario Bros. Movie. Bring it all on!
The Super Mario Bros. Movie comes to theaters on April 5.

Let’s Take a Great Look at Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League!
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is coming. The big time follow-up to the Arkham series by Rocksteady, this game is looking big and badass and full of everything. And this new trailer gives us our best, fullest look yet at just what that everything will entail. It’s a lot more than I was expecting!
I love a good gear and cosmetic system! I really look forward to figuring out how co-op will work. I like the sound of more playable characters down the line. I think it’s interesting that they’ve tied combat to superheroic traversal. And it all looks great. This is gonna be one heck of a video game! So glad I splurged on that Playstation 5. It’s serving me well so far.
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League comes out on May 26.

Here’s a Really Cool Warhammer Video
Total War: Warhammer III was my favorite video game last year. I love the Total War games, especially the Warhammer ones. It’s a real time strategy game set in a huge world and featuring armies of orks, trolls, wizards, dragons and much, much more. I’ve been playing for at least a decade, through all three games. And one of the funnest aspects is that the developers have simply expanded the same map each time.
And now that whole map is open to everybody just buying Warhammer III.
So basically, in the first Total War: Warhammer, we had a big map and half a dozen or so races to fight on it. In Warhammer II, they kept that same map, then added a whole bunch of new continents, islands and races to the west. And now in Warhammer III, they expanded to the east, south and north, making a huuuuuge map with dozens of available races. Before now, players needed to have all three games to play this big map. Now the developers have opened the map up to just people buying Warhammer III, so it’s less of a pricey process for anybody who wants to give it a try.
That’s neat! And I also just wanted to share that cool announcement video, because it’s really neat. I highly recommend this games, and I’m very much looking forward to years of DLC and new races and generals coming up in the future.

John Wick vs. Tetris
This has been a huge week for movie trailers. And these are no different!
First up is a big new trailer for John Wick: Chapter 4. This will probably be a big, awesome film with awesome action and an awesome Keanu Reeves at its center. Lotsa guns, lotsa fighting, lotsa action; it’s a John Wick movie.
This movie and trailer strike me as so weird, sometimes, when you consider how this franchise started. John Wick was working as a hitman for some lowly Russian gangster in a single city. Was he slumming it with that guy? Have they ever talked about it in any of the sequels?
Ah well, doesn’t matter. The new one should be fun. John Wick: Chapter 4 comes to theaters on March 24.
Next up is a new trailer for a film we didn’t know was coming: a Tetris biopic!
I love Tetris as much as the next person. I hope this is a cool and exciting story! An American with a dream about Tetris goes to Russia to get his hands on the ultimate video game. Looks pretty exciting and full of action. Maybe it’ll be the best video game adaptation movie of all time.
Tetris is coming to AppleTV+ on March 31.
