| Garden Story may be one of the cutest community-building games around. As Concord, a little grape, players help restore an island that has been divided thanks to an infestation called the Rot. Players can take on quests, clear enemies, and gather resources as they rebuild the isl | Although some movies have slightly altered Thomas and Martha Wayne's demise , the canon is pretty consistent. Joe Chill was the random mugger that was responsible for the pair being taken out in that alley long ago. Their falling wasn't part of some elaborate scheme like Gotham has included. It was a simple mugging in a city rampant with crime. This is what inspires Bruce to become Batman; so it doesn't happen to anyone else. Gotham basically took out the Joe Chill thing, put in Matches Malone, and even a conspiracy with Hugo Strange as icing on the cake. Fans know that this is very much straying from the ca |

| **Harry Potter ** is a beloved franchise that many millennials grew up with. As with most franchises, a lot of scenes and moments that happened in the books didn't make it onto the big screen. The Harry Potter series is large, and many of the books are over 400 pages long, so it's no wonder many things had to be cut when the Harry Potter movies were created. Whether you're only a book fan, only a movie fan, or a fan of all things Harry Potter , it's always interesting to see which important scenes, characters, and moments didn't make it into the movies. Here are 10 times the Potterverse movies strayed from the book ca | Windjammers 2 looks to be a natural step forward for the cult classic. It plays just like how you remember but with some new features that change the back-and-forth gameplay in fun and significant ways. The cartoonish, cel-shaded art style compliments the entire package that evokes the bright and colorful style of the first g |

| I've probably mentioned this in every review I've done for an arcade-style game but there is one rule I have when approach these titles: I need to know the rules of the game within the first 10 seconds. Think about any great arcade cabinet you've walked up to and instantly loved. For me, it was Galaga . Right when I saw the ship spawn at the bottom of the screen and the bug-shaped ships at the top, I knew what I had to do: destroy all the ships and avoid their attacks. Strategy is something that comes with practice but knowledge of a game’s rules should come natura | Heart Machine’s follow-up to 2016’s Hyper Light Drifter , Solar Ash has players traveling through incredibly stylized worlds and taking down enemies with blindingly fast attacks. Movement in the game looks smooth, with players gliding through environments on futuristic roller blades. Gravity seems to be subjective too, as players can walk across platforms that twist upside down. Not much else has been revealed for Solar Ash but the studio promises unique characters and massive combat sequen |

| While this character wasn't exactly central to the plot, he was a character that was cut from the movies completely. In 'Hatty Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban', Sir Cadogan is introduced when the trio first goes to their Divination classes with Professor Trewlaney . Then, he briefly replaces the Fat Lady after she is attacked by Sirius Black . While he is in the film briefly, most of his scenes were cut. However, you can see a deleted scene where he features. This decision was likely made because he wasn't a super important character to include. However, it would have been nice to see more magical Hogwarts moments and have the students interact with the moving portraits more than they did in the fi | He is on this list as a cat that takes center stage, being more than just a cute adventurer. As in the comics, Blacksad is the type of cat that taps into the less cute and cuddly elements of felines. He is smart, adaptable, and al |

| In 'Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire', we are introduced to Barty Crouch's house-elf, Winky. This storyline leads to Hermione creating S.P.E.W. In the books, Winky's existence is a key plot point to learning about how Barty Crouch helped his son escape and turn into Mad-Eye Moody using Polyjuice Potion. The movies cut all of this entirely. While it's a shame we never got to see all of the house-elves in the kitchen or learn about Hermione's social activism, it makes sense that this plot would have been expensive to create and taken up too much t | The most noticeable deviation is the meter at the bottom of the screen. In the same vein of a fighting game, the meter is there to power up a super. I didn't have a ton of time with the game but it seemed to engage on the throw after filling the gauge completely. It didn't seem like there was any strategic timing with using the special move since it would just be activated when the gauge was fil |

| What makes a great video game cat? Some of the best cats in games are adorable, but that doesn’t mean there is no place for the creepy and evil cats of the video game world. The best cats in video games make an impact on the player and are remembered for years to c | This ideology is exemplified in Windjammers . Right when I picked up the controller for that review, I knew what I had to do: get the flying disc into the net. My strategy for doing that evolved after every match. Windjammers 2 plays just like the original which means it shares that great pickup-and-play gameplay but with a few notable differen |

| One thing that most Potterheads noticed right away when it came to the films was how different Michael Gambon's Dumbledore was compared to the version in the books. It's hard to forget that messy moment in the Goblet of Fire film when Dumbledore yelled, "Did you put your name in the Goblet of Fire?" while manhandling Harry. The book Dumbledore surely wasn't without some major flaws, as we found out in the final book, but he definitely never acted like that. There wasn't as much charisma or charm to Gambon's version of Albus Dumbledore which is kind of a sh | Boyfriend Dungeon has everything players could possibly want from a dungeon-crawling dating sim. Monsters, loot, and kissable swords. Each weapon has a unique personality and their strength grows as they become closer to the personified weapon. After players explore the dungeon (or the ‘dunj’), they can take their hard earned cash to spend on dates. Boyfriend Dungeon is working to create a more inclusive approach to dating sims, with more female, [[https://Straycatgame.com/|click here now]] male, and non-binary romance options, as well as a plutonic option with a |

| In the 'Goblet of Fire' book, we get to see a lot more of the Quidditch World Cup than we see in the movie. This makes sense, as there is no real reason to go into the details of the match in the film as it doesn't necessarily add anything significant to the plot. However, all of the little details from the match in the book were pretty fun to read about. For one thing, we never get to see the Veela and never learn about them in the films at all. We also miss out on seeing more of the campsite where wizards and witches show off all of their Quidditch team pr | Then, earlier this year, reports surfaced about Warner Bros. looking into developing an R-rated animated adaptation of the graphic novel, thus potentially indicating plans to shelve the live-action TV series. However, that didn't seem to be the case when Lindelof reportedly boarded the TV project in June. Although, even his involvement may be in question. Yesterday, Lindelof said that he hasn't had any meetings with HBO about Watchmen , though he said that he was interested in the project and seemed to indicate that he was at least contacted by the network about the adaptat |

| | Described as a "cinematic narrative adventure," Goodbye Volcano High follows Fang, a typical 18-year old dinosaur who dreams about going viral with their band. Fang and their friends balance graduating high school, budding romances, and growing up in uncertain times. Goodbye Volcano High features multiple endings, musical mini-games, and is fully voice-acted, featuring Lachlan Watson from Netflix’s The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina . Given the characters are dinosaurs and there’s a meteor in the game’s logo, there may be more pressing matters for the high schoolers to manage s |
