Looking online, it seems there have been approximately 64,534 Star Wars games released since the first film hit theaters in the ‘70s. (Editor’s note: That’s incorrect.) But, while many of them are good, some are really, really good. These are the kind of games that are so great that even non-Star Wars fans can’t deny how excellent they are. For this list, we didn’t set any restrictions. New games, old games, PC games, console games, handheld games, remakes, ports, and more were all valid options. Basically, anything that is considered a video game and has Star Wars slapped on the…
Also known as Endurance, MK1 is an uncrewed cargo lander funded by Blue Origin as a commercial demonstration mission to advance Human Landing System capabilities in support of NASA’s Artemis program. The tests in Chamber A represent a public-private partnership model, with Blue Origin conducting work through a reimbursable Space Act Agreement. Endurance will demonstrate precision landing, cryogenic propulsion, and autonomous guidance, navigation, and control capabilities in support of future lunar surface operations. In addition to its primary objectives, MK1 will carry two NASA science and technology payloads under the CLPS (Commercial Lunar Payload Services) initiative to the lunar South…
Ultraloq Bolt Fingerprint for $200: I have now tested three different Ultraloq smart locks over a year and a half, and while I think the company offers excellent hardware for the money, there are just a few too many software quirks that put these locks a rung below our top picks. I first began with the Bolt Fingerprint, which has been the most reliable of all the Ultraloq smart locks. If you have a standard door with a borehole for the dead bolt, it’ll be quick to install (Ultraloq has a Thick Door Kit ($10)). I initially had several issues…
Colin Angle, the guy who co-founded iRobot and helped put robot vacuums in millions of homes, just unveiled his new company and forthcoming product. The new venture is called Familiar Machines & Magic and it’s making robots for companionship, and not for sweeping floors. They are called Familiars and are being described as “physically embodied AI systems to perceive, adapt and interact with people in ways that feel natural and consistent.” That sounds like a pet, but with loyalty and love replaced by algorithms. “The next era of robotics is not just about dexterity…
Resident Evil Requiem toys with the idea that Leon Scott Kennedy, one of the beloved faces of Capcom’s horror series, may be on his last job. He’s got a mysterious infection that threatens his life, and he spends much of the ninth mainline game grappling with the possibility of his imminent death. In the game’s early hours, this tension seems to be setting up Requiem as a pivot point for the series, with an older generation of survivors passing the torch off to newcomers like the very green FBI agent Grace Ashcroft. When I played the game myself, I was…
On March 30, 2026, the Gulf of Maine Research Institute (GMRI) and the NASA Science Activation program’s Learning Ecosystems Northeast (LENE) project hosted the third installment of the Findings from the Field Student Research Symposium. This annual event and associated Findings from the Field journal are where students are the experts and the usual “white coat” barriers associated with science communication come down. This year’s event welcomed 106 students, grades four through eight, 29 educators, and 15 Subject Matter Experts, and it featured 68 research posters, 14 lightning talks, and 5 discussion sessions. To continue to foster a sense of…

Are you a fan of coffee but not sure if it’s good for you? Perhaps you’re aware of its well-known stimulant effect but aren’t sure about the other effects it has on your health. A recent study explores how regular coffee consumption influences the gut-brain axis, a bidirectional communication network that connects the digestive system with brain activity. The results reveal a highly complex interaction that goes beyond caffeine.“Public interest in gut health has risen hugely,” said John Cryan, coauthor of the study published this week in Nature Communications. “The relationship between digestive and mental health is also increasingly being…
Matt Cardy/Getty Images Smartphone bans in the classroom might not be the panacea that governments and school administrations want them to be, according to a recently published study. As first reported by The New York Times, the National Bureau of Economic Research will publish a study called The Effects of School Phone Bans: National Evidence From Lockable Phones, which concluded that cellphone bans had “consistently close to zero” effect on test scores. The study sampled phone location data from more than 40,000 schools from 2019 to 2026 and showed that there was a…
Have influencers turned gamers into sheep? Is Silksong really getting DLC this month? And how did the director of the Final Fantasy 7 remake trilogy find the time to beat his next game 40 times? It’s your Kotaku Checkpoint roundup for May 4, 2026, where we are celebrating Star Wars day by remembering our favorite moments from Andor. I would go back and rewatch the entire series again, but it would just end up ruining my hype for Mando and Starfighter. Maybe I’ll just revisit the Star Wars: The Old Republic MMO instead. Fallout‘s co-creator talks about how content creators…
