Scott Pilgrim is a franchise that just keeps on going across different media. Starting as a graphic novel, the series spawned a cult-classic movie, a well-received video game that was once delisted and later revived in a remaster, and an animated reimagining titled Scott Pilgrim Takes Off. While that latter series has seemingly been canceled,
The RIDE series of games first raced onto the scene back in 2015 and had received five entries up to this point. Known for its extreme difficulty, the series has gradually gotten better with each and every entry. Now a few years after its last outing, RIDE 6 is here and is looking for its best race finish to date.
My Hero Academia debuted in manga form back in 2014 before being turned into a very popular anime starting in 2016. Both continued to run over the last decade until the conclusion for both came over the last couple of years. In that time, the series has spawned a few different video games, including the One’s Justice series, which is also now reaching its climax with My Hero Academia: All’s Justice.
The Mortal Kombat series has undergone numerous re-releases and ports over the years, particularly with the first few titles in the franchise, but these were largely released years ago. Prior to this point, only the more recent releases from the last decade or so are easily accessible on modern platforms due to a lack of backwards compatibility unless you bought an Arcade 1Up unit with them on it.
Dragon Quest fans were really excited to see the release of Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake last year, which was very well received and left people wanting even more. With the first three games in the series being known as the Erdrick trilogy, it might have seemed weird to release the remake of the third game before the other two.

The Angry Video Game Nerd dates back over 20 years now, since he first released a few video game reviews on his website, which he then put on YouTube a couple of years later in 2006.
Sonic the Hedgehog may be known for his running speed, but that doesn’t meant that he isn’t afraid to hop into a racing kart and take on some of his best friends and enemies too. The idea of a Sonic racer started with Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing and was followed by Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed, both of which took characters from not only Sonic games, but the wider Sega universe.
Borderlands has become one of 2K’s go to franchises between the mainline entries from Gearbox Software and even the Telltale Games spin-offs. The series may just seem like your typical repetitive looter shooter on the surface, but the charming characters and overall style have been the secret sauce that has kept players coming back for more with each subsequent entry.
The EA Sports FC series has found itself in a similar position to many sports titles, where the on-field product remains as authentic and compelling as ever. However, the lack of major changes across various game modes has led to a consistent decline in the series’ performance on this latest generation of consoles.
Once nearly ending just as it was getting started, the Final Fantasy franchise is still going strong today with numerous mainline entries and spin-offs over the years. While it was not the first spin-off, one of the most well-regarded in the series has always been Final Fantasy Tactics on the original PlayStation, which was released back in 1997.
