This Week In Video Games 6/22/26 — 6/26/26

A lot has gone on this week in video games. Here is a recap of what we covered in the world of #videogames on the site this week

There we go, wrapping up one more week and covering so many video games and pop culture things going on out there in the world. Some are to get us all ready for #SDCC2026, and others are to build into #EVO2026, which is going on as you are reading all of this. Not too shabby after cleaning up all of the titles we missed, like #MarvelTokon: Fighting Souls and #TheWalkingDead: Streets Of Survival from before. That is in addition to getting further updates for video games like #SAWGenesis and #InvincibleVS as well. Not the biggest of weeks, but still one that has cleared up so much to get us ready for all that the summer truly has to offer up, now that it has officially started.

 

Things Are Not Going To Be Covered Up At The SDCC 2026 Fandom Event

The annual SDCC Fandom Party is on, with another fun headliner announced to play this year’s #SDCC Fandom Party

If there was any doubt that we would see #Fandom back at SDCC again, you can put all of that to rest. The ninth annual party has now been set for the convention, and we have a list of what to expect and who will be bringing us all together in the fun after hours. That’s also not to say that there will not be a lot of things we did not expect to be out there again, but that is for all involved to surprise us all with. Even if we do know that Halo: Campaign Evolved will be a big hit out there, along with all of the visual novels that Z2 Comics has brought us in the past. All to be closed out by the performances of The Coverups, featuring Green Day’s frontman Billie Joe Armstrong. Yeah, this year’s Fandom Part is going to be another one that no one will want to miss. #SDCC2026

 

This Week In Video Games 5/18/26 — 5/22/26

A lot has gone on this week in video games. Here is a recap of what we covered in the world of #videogames on the site this week

There we all go, with one more week in the books and so many more video games and non-video game things to cover out there. It was definitely pop culture-related and had some interactive media to it, so Universal #FanFestNights will also have a place here, just like Horror Nights. That aside, it was great to see more for the #ResidentEvilMovie come up, then all leads into titles that are launching or launched this week. Video games like #007FirstLight and the latest version of the #Darksiders Warmastered Edition certainly topped that bill. Along with so many others that I will hold off on mentioning for now, but you can see listed below.

 

Board Games Are Coming To Life For A Bit With The Candy Land Café

The fun of Candy Land is coming to life before, during, and after SDCC 2026 with the #CandyLand Café

Another of those famed board game properties is coming to life, with the announcement of the #CandyLandCafe. A nice little bit of fun that will get us further into the sweet fun that Hasbro has been carrying for decades now. I am fairly certain that there are very few people out there who don’t have any clue about this famed board game, so it feels about right that they are going to hit us all with that nostalgia. Even if this will be a limited engagement thing starting on July 9th and running in San Diego, CA. The reason we are even bringing this up is that, given that this is the same company that held the Malibu Barbie Café during #SDCC, and how they have run their other big nostalgic experiences, it is highly likely that the Candy Land Café will also be given the same treatment. Fun news for board gamers and those who can make it out to San Diego, CA. Not to mention, the Malibu Barbie Café did run in other towns, so this could be something that expands out further as Bucket Listers have shown they are open to doing. #SDCC2026

 

San Diego Comic-Con Through The Eyes Of A Complete Novice To The Experience

Have a look at San Dingo Comic-Con through the lens of someone relatively new to the #ComicCon experience from 2025

It’s been a few months since my first #SDCC, and I’ve had time to reflect on my experience. When I was invited to Comic-Con, I wasn’t really sure what to expect. I had heard about it from my friends and seen photos during some of the more popular Marvel-heavy Cons, but I had never done much digging into the Con itself.

I’ve broken my experience down into the pluses and the minuses, plus a few tips and tricks, with my overall review at the end. #SDCC2025
