Folks have always wondered what it's like to be a vampire, and thanks to the magic of video games, it's now possible to find out.

The game features open world gameplay and the ability to play cooperatively in PvE or competitively in PvP. It also has some Castlevania DLC which is pretty rad.

The wait for Earth Defense Force 6 has been a long one. In fact, some folks say that you could stretch the delay between the Japanese and Western releases of EDF 6 around the earth at least twice. I mean, the game arrived in Japan in August 2022, and we still don't have an English version. That injustice will finally be rectified when EDF6 arrives on PlayStation and Steam in North America and Europe on July 25 of this year. Are you ready to save the earth from the aliens' attack, recruits?

Half the appeal of Funko Pop toys is the wide range of licenses that get made into figures. You can get Sonic, TMNT, Ghostbusters, and all kinds of Pops.

Today, WayForward announced that it's going to happen!
