A vainglorious king, medieval torture and challenging deck-building are all part of ‘The Royal Writ’ and its M-rated play.
‘The Rivals of Amziah King’ has some bluegrass-fueled, honey-sweet moments, but it comes with sharp-edged stings, too.
‘Star Wars: Zero Company’ fits nicely into its Clone Wars setting. But there are some T-rated shadows to be wary of.

‘Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy’ incorporates some compelling gameplay in its structure. But younger players should avoid it like the plague.

Hollywood pulls out its old attention-getting playbook. And unexpected good things result.
‘Madden NFL 27’ enhances graphics, improves controls and makes gameplay bigger than ever. But some will find that just playing football is a little harder, too.
The first ‘Halo’ classic returns with a new look and some brand-new missions. But it’s still M-rated, Dad.
When everything’s on your phone, how do you turn it off? The social media giants have an ironic suggestion.
