Adaptations of Agatha Christie's works almost always take some creative liberties to make them feel fresh and modern — some for the best, others woefully misguided. Warner Bros., for example, set Murder in Three Acts in the 1980s and gave Belgian sleuth Hercule Poirot a computer, which was somehow too formidable for his little grey cells to comprehend. Poirot, ITV's popular television series starring David Suchet, frequently altered entire stories. Even Billy Wilder's 1957 film Witness for the Prosecution, which Christie reportedly called her favorite adaptation of any of her works, includes an entirely new character meant to add another dimension to the protagonist's personality.

A sequel to this year's A Minecraft Movie is currently in the works at Warner Brothers, and now it has an official release date. According to a teaser poster for the upcoming film, it's about two years away.

If you’ve seen any marketing for Battlefield 6, you know that it takes the fight to New York City. Right from its initial announcement over the summer, Battlefield Studios put a major emphasis on a campaign mission and multiplayer map that would have players causing destruction in the streets of Brooklyn. The announcement was met with just a hint of trepidation. Would the military shooter series be able to handle a terrorist attack on iconic NYC landmarks sensitively enough, especially during a time when American politicians are doing everything in their power to paint major US cities as warzones?

I love weird, atmospheric games with minimal dialogue, fun platforming, and puzzles to solve. ABZÛ and Sword of the Sea rank among my all-time favorites, and I've always wished for a game that felt similar, but a bit creepier. After years of being told I should try out Little Nightmares, I figured I might as well take the latest entry in the franchise — Little Nightmares 3 — out for a spin. After all, it has all the right ingredients: a spooky atmosphere, a story you have to piece together, and lots of puzzles and platforming. Even firing up my PlayStation 5 and seeing the game's title screen had me excited — the musical score was haunting but beautiful, and I was excited to see what the horror experts at Supermassive Games had in store for me.

Even so, the PS5's library has grown to the extent that there's a lot to sort through, and new and old PS5 owners will be wondering what to play. So here’s our living list of the best video games we’ve played on the platform — influenced by the personal tastes of the Polygon team — to be updated as more games come out.

The skill-based matchmaking debate in Call of Duty has been raging for years, and was elevated when Call of Duty: Modern Warfare(2019) revamped how matchmaking works. During the Call of Duty: Black Ops 7beta, Treyarch listened to community sentiment and introduced "open" playlists, which prioritized connection and location over player skill level when finding a match.

Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed series is staged around noteworthy historical time periods, which typically means the series looks beyond American shores. The United States is less than 300 years old, and that doesn't give us a ton of material to work with. Reportedly, though, Ubisoft wanted to tap into that well once more.

Heroes of Might and Magic is one of those dependable fantasy game series that feels like it’s always been around. But its glories are faded, and it’s battered and careworn from being shoved and bundled from developer to developer, publisher to publisher, over 30 years. Under its current publisher, Ubisoft, it suffered the indignity of a pointless name change (to Might & Magic Heroes), and has been left to go fallow since the seventh game was released 10 years ago.

Battlefield campaigns have struggled with their identity throughout the series’ history. Where Call of Duty, Battlefield's top competitor in first-person shooters, has two storylines running through the parallel Modern Warfare and Black Ops sub-series with recurring characters and overarching plots, Battlefield's single-player offerings have always been standalone. Battlefield 6is no different, and the lack of a canonical Battlefield universe lets down its campaign from the off.

Nintendo revealed three SNES games are arriving on Nintendo Switch Online today, headlined by a Mario game that was previously only available in Japan.
