For generations of fans, Christopher Reeve’s name has been synonymous with Superman. In 1978, Reeve was catapulted to stardom when he starred as the Man of Steel in Richard Donner’s Superman. Reeve reprised his role for three additional films, but the upcoming documentary, Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story, doesn’t end there. As seen in the first trailer below, Super/Man explores Reeve’s tragic accident that left him paralyzed before he overcame his despair to become an advocate for the disabled. As shown in the trailer, Reeve was thrown from a horse in 1995, which left him unable to move from his neck down. In his own words, Reeve recalls how his overwhelming sadness about his disability was countered by his wife, Dana Reeve, who insisted that she still loved him as he was. …

At long last, Pokemon microSD cards are here. For fans of the pocket monsters franchise, you can now grab one of several SanDisk microSD cards in varying sizes. When you’re not using them to store games on your Nintendo Switch–or other electronic devices like Steam Deck–you can gaze at the cute little Pokemon stamped on the plastic. Right now, you can get a Pikachu (256GB), Gengar (512GB), or Snorlax (1TB) microSD card. It’s rather appropriate that Snorlax has the largest capacity. This is the only model currently available to purchase at Amazon, and it’s already temporarily out of stock (but you can still order it–for now, at least).

As revealed during Gamescom’s Opening Night Live ceremony, Path of Exile 2 will launch November 15.The news comes after Grinding Gear Games announced earlier this year it was delaying Path of Exile 2’s closed beta, with the developer stating it “underestimated” the amount of time needed to polish the beta build before putting it in front of players.

It will feature a new six-act campaign, skill gem system, and 12 classes to choose from. It will also feature a new “du…

During Gamescom Opening Night Live, Bethesda showed off the Rev-8, a land vehicle players can use to travel around planets, along with a release date for its upcoming DLC, Shattered Space for Starfield.The studio decided to have a little fun with the trailer. Instead of showcasing it as an exploration game, most of the trailer played as if it were a racing sim like Forza. It showed the Rev-8 going through various planets and hitting sick drifts. However, on top of being able to transport players around, it appears it can also be used for combat. Players will be able to take the Rev-8 for free later tonight when it drops.

The REV-8 drives, jumps, shoots, and can even mine for resources – and it’s Vasco…
