Oh hey, didn't notice you there: I was too busy picking up my Sackboy: A Big Adventure co-op partner (read: my wife) and throwing her into the abyss. How did everything go after that was all said and done? Pretty good actually!

LittleBigPlanet has a really special place in my heart for many reasons, but chiefly, it was one of the first games that my wife and I were excited for as a couple. When we were dating we'd introduce each other to all sorts of oddities and ...

Online multiplayer support has been a thorny issue for some games recently, and the same can be said for Sackboy: A Big Adventure. While Sumo Digital is planning to support local and online co-op by the "end of 2020," at launch, only two- t...

Super Mario 3D All-Stars arrived back in September and it's kind of been sitting quietly ever since. I mean, it is a "limited-time release" after all: patching it or adding new features is kind of a weird area if it's just going to be gone ...

When the PlayStation 5 ships on November 12, it'll arrive with a built-in game: Astro's Playroom. It's a very smart move by Sony, to evoke the era of pack-ins and demo discs with this inclusion. Although Astro is a breezy "few hour" ad...
