Feid and Tony Hawk Play PS2 and Share Cereal in Nostalgic ‘Ando XXIL' Video
Few things are more nostalgic than playing your favorite childhood video game. On Thursday night, Feid dropped the video for his single 'Ando XXIL,' on which he delivers bar after bar over a pure hip-hop beat — and lands onscreen ollies on PS2 alongside none other than Tony Hawk. The retro video captures Feid fully in his rap star bag. It opens with clips of him at a record store flipping through hip-hop vinyl, then playing Tony Hawk's Pro Skater as he reflects on his upbringing in the lyrics. After name-dropping the skate legend, Feid is shown at home, playing PS2 with Hawk himself as they laugh over their video game ollies and tricks.

Hawk is seen nodding along to Feid's rapid-fire bars in other clips. The video ends with the two sharing bowls of cereal before Hawk rides a skateboard off the dining table. 'Ando XXIL' follows the musician's more electronic-leaning single 'Dallax' featuring Ty Dolla $ign. He launched the new era with 'Nos Desconoximos' in late February after November's Sky Rompiendo collaborative project Las 9 de Ferxxo y Sky Rompiendo. He also joined Brray, De La Rose, and Yan Block on 'Te Colaboro (Remix)' on May 16. 'What can I tell you, love? We are so happy because the first song of the new project dropped,' Feid said on Instagram Stories after the release of the album's first single in February. 'Ferxxo is coming with a new album… It's a special project because after 10 years, it'll be dropping.'

Netflix just got this fantasy action movie with Vin Diesel and Elijah Wood — and it's not even in the 'so bad it's good' category
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Netflix's latest addition is a dark fantasy action movie starring Vin Diesel that, on paper, sounds like it'll be a riot. As of today (June 16), Breck Eisner's "The Last Witch Hunter" is now available on the streaming service. This 2015 action flick pits Diesel's sword-swinging supernatural hunter against nefarious sorcerers. Sounds like a recipe for campy fun, right? Unfortunately.... It's anything but Even as a big fantasy guy myself, this is one new-to-Netflix watch I'd urge you to find something else to stream — and it turns out I'm not alone on that front, either. If you were waiting to stream "The Last Witch Hunter" on Netflix, you can find a little more info about the movie, and why I (and plenty of other viewers) would suggest you steer clear. "The Last Witch Hunter" introduces us to Kaulder (Vin Diesel), a powerful warrior cursed with immortality moments before he slayed the all-powerful Witch Queen hundreds of years ago. Working with "The Axes and Cross," Kaulder has kept humanity safe from supernatural forces, hunting down rogue witches who violate the fragile peace between the witches and the human race and keeping their powers in check. When a modern coven hatches a deadly plan to resurrect their queen, Kaulder and a few close allies look to be humanity's only chance at survival. In addition to Vin Diesel, "The Last Witch Hunter" also stars Michael Caine, Elijah Wood and Rose Leslie. Put simply, "The Last Witch Hunter" is a dreary watch. I'm no stranger to going against the grain when it comes to the fantasy genre — I went to bat for the "Warcraft" movie when it came to Netflix — but I don't think the movie that made it to our screens is worth shouting about. A lot of the problem is simply that I just don't buy Vin Diesel in the lead role; "The Last Witch Hunter" does not feel like his kind of movie. While the visual effects aren't bad (compared to some of today's watches), and the fights might occasionally thrill, it's just not very entertaining stuff. A lot of the problem is simply that I just don't buy Vin Diesel in the lead role; "The Last Witch Hunter" does not feel like his kind of movie. I can't even really see it landing as a guilty pleasure; "The Last Witch Hunter" does not veer into "so bad its good" territory. It's a self-serious, "edgy" mishmash of fantasy tropes and action, and a poorly written, plodding one at that. It's the kind of movie that wants you to think it is cool... but doesn't come off that way whatsoever. In other words, it's the movie equivalent of that dodgy "Shadow the Hedgehog" PS2 game. As I mentioned above, this isn't exactly a unique stance on the film, either. At the time of writing, "The Last Witch Hunter" holds a measly 18% critics rating on Rotten Tomatoes. This isn't a situation where critics and viewers differ wildly, either; that 44% score on the Popcornmeter is indicative of a mixed reception, at best. As a sample of what people have to say about "The Last Witch Hunter," take Guy Lodge's review at Variety, who summed the movie up as a "limp, lame-brained occult thriller" and said it was "too drab to succeed even as defiantly unvirtuous trash." The Guardian's Peter Bradshaw gave the movie a one-star rating, calling it "dismal and dull" and positing Diesel and co.'s witch-hunting flick measures up unfavorably to Paramount's shlocky fairytale effort, "Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters". And, reviewing at Entertainment Weekly, Kyle Anderson described the movie as "an unfortunately heavy-handed, humorless, self-serious" affair, adding: "It should be crazy fun on paper — Vin Diesel murders witches with a flaming sword! — but the only thing The Last Witch Hunter will successfully eradicate is insomnia." Unless you're desperate for some swords-and-sorcery fun (and you've already watched the far superior "Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves"), I'd suggest you avoid streaming "The Last Witch Hunter" on Netflix.

Pat Surtain shown in Madden 26 preview -- perfect rating to follow?
Pat Surtain shown in Madden 26 preview -- perfect rating to follow? Madden 26's deep dive update features a PS2 pass breakup: — Jon Heath (@ByJonHeath) June 18, 2025 Denver Broncos star cornerback Pat Surtain should get a ratings boost in this year's version of the NFL's popular video game made by EA Sports. Earlier this week, "Madden NFL 26" released its first "deep dive" preview of upcoming features in the game, including a new "Custom Zones" feature for defenses. In a video demonstrating the new coverages, EA Sports showed Surtain breaking up a pass against the Las Vegas Raiders. Surtain, 25, was Denver's highest-rated player in last year's version of the video game with an initial overall rating of 95 (it increased to 97 during the season). "See, that's a good start," Surtain said of his initial rating last year. "That's a good start, Madden. That's a good start. I'mma get that 99 soon. In due time, for sure. Trust it. Truss." After winning the Defensive Player of the Year award last season, it would not be surprising to see PS2 join the prestigious "99 Club" in "Madden NFL 26." Ratings will be announced later this summer. Related: These 25 celebrities are Broncos fans.

Beloved Konami PS2 Game Permanently Delisted From PS Store
An acclaimed Konami PS2 game has been delisted from the , and the publisher has suggested that its removal is permanent. Developed by Treasure, originally released on the PS2 in 2004, followed by a digital release for the PS3 in 2015. The latter has now been pulled from PSN. Gradius V's delisting was first reported by GameSpark (via Delisted Games), who noticed that the game was no longer available to purchase via PS3's storefront. The website decided to reach out to Konami, and surprisingly, received a response. A machine translation of Konami's statement reveals that the publisher blamed software license expiry for Gradius V's removal. It's unclear what software license Konami is referring to since the company owns the Gradius IP. As Delisted Games points out, the PS3 version was released in 2015, so it looks like Konami had a 10-year agreement of sorts. Whatever that agreement was, it's unlikely to be renewed as the publisher has told GameSpark that 'there are various issues that cannot be resolved immediately and there are currently no plans' to revive Gradius V or port it over to modern consoles. Those who already own the game will continue to have access to it, but Gradius V can no longer be purchased on the PS3 since it didn't release on disc. The post Beloved Konami PS2 Game Permanently Delisted From PS Store appeared first on PlayStation LifeStyle.
