As a longtime gamer with a soft spot for both nostalgic classics and modern remakes, I’m thrilled to learn about the upcoming additions to Xbox Game Pass this week. The inclusion of Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy and Mafia: Definitive Edition is sure to bring a smile to my face. Growing up with the original Crash Bandicoot games on PlayStation, I can’t wait to relive those memories in crisp HD graphics and updated controls. And as someone who has yet to dive into the world of Mafia, I’m eager to explore this reimagined version, which promises an immersive experience with improved visuals and gameplay. These additions are a testament to Microsoft’s commitment to providing a diverse and high-quality library for its subscribers, making Xbox Game Pass an even more attractive option for gamers like myself.

Lego is no stranger to recreating classic pop culture moments, and this new Lego Jaws set has almost immediately become one of my favorites. The 1,497-piece homage captures the showdown between a trio of unlikely heroes and a very angry shark. The set features a full recreation of the Orca boat, including the interior where the crew shares body scar stories; minifigs of Brody, Hooper, and Quint; and of course, “Bruce” the Shark — along with a display stand for its four lead characters. The Lego Jaws set costs $149.99 and will ship Aug. 22.

Video game soundtracks can significantly influence a player’s experience, subtly blending into the background (such as in Quiplash) or leaving an unforgettable imprint on a series (like The Legend of Zelda, Doom, Metroid, Sonic, etc.). With advancements in technology, game scores are no longer confined to limited electronic tones, opening up a vast realm of musical possibilities. Today, the music that accompanies our gaming sessions can be as enjoyable and impactful as any standalone song. These tunes inspire determination to reach the next level, encourage relaxation to appreciate the scenery, or get you tapping your feet to the rhythm.

Back in the sweltering summer of 2020, I found myself gazing out my window at a troubling sight – a row of officers marching towards protestors, individuals who lived in my very own neighborhood, rallying against the senseless death of George Floyd. Instantaneously, my mind was flooded with an indelible image that resonated strongly among Chicagoans – the demonstrations during the 1968 Democratic National Convention, where a line of powder-blue helmets faced off against a line of protestors, much like what I saw today.
