Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy Coming Earlier Than Expected on PC, Switch and Xbox One

The N. Sane Trilogy is a remade collection of the first three Crash Bandicoot games and came out for PlayStation 4 on June 30, 2017. The trilogy was confirmed for other platforms back in March.

34 Movies That Made $1 Billion at the Box Office
Important note: Avengers: Infinity War and Black Panther are still climbing up the box office rankings, so their positions could change over the coming days.
Avengers: Infinity War is having a great run of fortune at the box office with a record-breaking opening weekend and $47.5 million in presales at the Chinese box office.
According to a report from The Hollywood Reporter, Infinity War may be the first summer blockbuster to reach the $2 billion milestone at the worldwide box office. All three films that made over $2 billion during their theatrical runs were released in December, but Earth's Mightiest Heroes appear ready for the challenge.
Nintendo, Sony Update Their Warranty Policies Following FTC Warning
Nintendo and Sony have both updated their warranty policies after receiving FTC warnings.

The companies were warned that their warranty policies were "deceptive under the FTC Act" and were given 30 days to comply, with the threat of legal action if they failed to do so.

Marvel and DC Copy Each Other’s New Villains
To say that Marvel Comics and DC Comics have a habit of copying each other is a bit of an understatement. There are countless examples from over the years where one company either paid homage, took inspiration from, or downright ripped off an idea from the other, like how Marvel’s Thanos and Deadpool were copies of DC’s Darkseid and Deathstroke, respectively. However, this copycat thing was taken to a whole new level when, last week, both publishers essentially introduced the same villains for their flagship teams in the exact same way.
Warning: spoilers ahead for The Avengers #1 and DC Nation #0!
Last week was the biggest of the year for comics because Saturday was Free Comic Book Day. Comic publishers know that shops will be flooded with readers both new and old, so they put out their best stuff to catch their attention. Last Wednesday saw the release of The Avengers #1 that featured a new team of Avengers assembling to fight 2000-foot tall “Dark Celestials” aka evil space gods. And on FCBD, DC released a sampler platter-style comic called DC Nation #0 that included three short stories about the Joker, Superman, and the Justice League, the latter of which saw the heroes (and some villains) rally together to fight gargantuan “Omega Titans” aka evil space gods.
What Did You Think of This Week’s Comics?
It was another big week for the comic book industry, as DC kicked off the weekly Justice League: No Justice crossover and Marvel both relaunched Venom and capped off The Despicable Deadpool. Scroll down to check out our new reviews and thinkpieces, and let us know your favorite books of the week in the comments below.

10 Best Daredevil Comics and Graphic Novels
Daredevil isn’t the flashiest hero in Marvel’s canon, which might be part of the appeal. He’s a street-level hero who still operates at very much the level of a real superhero, mixing some low-level super powers with legal acumen, a billy club, and good old fashioned Irish Catholic boxing. He’s also been fortunate to have some of the most consistently excellent writing at Marvel Comics over the years.
Here are the best Daredevil reads that you should check out.
And for more comics fun, check out our video on how Avengers: Infinity War finally gave us the true Doctor Strange from the comics:

Uber Releases Details on Flying Taxi
Uber has released more information about its concept fleet of flying taxis the company started talking about last year.
Wired reports the rideshare company has given some idea of the flying vehicle they're hoping will ease transport congestion by moving some traffic to the skies.
The concept 'Common Reference Model' for these sky taxis will seat four passengers with one pilot in single file on a slender electric powered plane.
Two sets of wing-like supports branch out either side and are joined by battery pods midway with sit stacked rotors held furthest from the main body.
