Much of the talk surrounding the film adaptation of Crazy Rich Asians is the need for Asian representation in Hollywood—while I'm with it all the way, it isn't what attracted me to the movie. See, people seem to forget that being Asia...

World of Warcraft might not have the same cultural cache it once had in an era filled with multi-million player free-to-play MMOs, but at this point it's most definitely an institution. The fact is, Blizzard has maintained the project for n...

One of the many facets of art direction I’ve come to greatly appreciate in this generation of gaming is that of the vista. I simply love a good vista, the moments where a break in the action gives players the opportunity to gawk at th...

I won't rest until the Mighty No. 9 saga is finally completed. After tracking down multiple companies to find out what happened to physical Kickstarter rewards a year after the game's launch in 2017, following a lack of communication o...

We’re giving away a digital copy of the game. On top of that, this is the Gold Edition, which includes all sorts of perks, including the Season Pass...

It's insane to me that World of Warcraft has lasted nearly 14 years and is just now preparing to host another expansion in mere days. Having played since the start I've witnessed myriad changes first-hand, some small, and some so monumental...

I can hardly call England a "dystopia," but it sure feels different to the country I've spent my whole life in. Don't get me wrong, most politicians have been charlatans and people have always been ignorant. But, in the last few years, a se...

I've been playing Dead Cells in early access for over a year now, but I never want to get too far if you know what I mean. I have a weird relationship with early access games in that unless I'm covering them professionally, I pref...

"Make like a potato, and mash!" Even with Wario's creepy vocals gracing our ears WarioWare Gold has still got it. Somewhat.

What makes a good bad movie? It's a question I've been pondering over the years as I sit through more and more bad bad movies trying to be good bad movies. Take Skyscraper as a recent example. It's a bad movie, but it's not a good bad ...

Well, it's been a long wait, pardner, but Rockstar Games have finally revealed gameplay footage for the sequel to one of the greatest adventure games of all time, Red Dead Redemption 2.Once again, players will head out into the lawless land...

Live during Nintendo's special Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Direct this morning, the publisher confirmed that Simon Belmont, of Castlevania fame, will enter the arena. Simon has been long-rumored by way of a leak that also involved Ridley, wh...

I'm so glad Overcooked found a sustainable, adoring audience in the almost two years since I first tried it on a whim. This simple yet hectic cooking game is one of the best co-op titles around. The basic concept is easy -- you assemble foo...

It feels like we've been waiting forever for Chasm, and that's because we have. Riding the second post-Banner Saga wave of Kickstarter, the project launched in mid-2013 and was fully funded in less than a month. Since then studio Bit Kid ha...

The Banner Saga began as an inkling of a Kickstarter in 2014 from Stoic, a studio with just a few people under its banner at the time. Slowly gaining a strong fanbase over the years, The Banner Saga has now evolved into a three-part story o...

We're in the middle of Summer, which mean the hype train is in full steam for this year's Call of Duty entry, Black Ops 4. A private beta is currently underway this weekend, allowing a chosen conglomerate of trigger-happy fans to try out th...

Sea of Thieves players have discovered an odd yet surprisingly effective way of defeating the AI skeleton crews in this week's Cursed Sails expansion: buckets full of water. Not explosive barrels, or cannonballs, but buckets. I love it when...

Winnie-the-Pooh is a character that I was afraid to admit I liked. I'm not ashamed to say that I love to watch Disney movies, but Winnie-the-Pooh always had an air with it that it was for babies. It seemed too childish for me for a long tim...

With yesterday's 5.00 patch for Monster Hunter: World dropping the new Behemoth hunt and Final Fantasy XIV crossover equipment, I plowed through the main content like a breeze. Until special assignment He Taketh It with His Eyes, that is. I...

Today the Gundam Base Tokyo, the largest Gundam store in the world and home to the life-sized Gundam, held a livestream. While its main purpose was to show the Hong Kong entries for the Gunpla Builders World Cup, a big surprise was revealed...

Rocket League players on Xbox will soon be able to trade money -- or, at least Rocket League's in-game equivalent to real-world money. Key trading will be implemented on Xbox "within the next several days," according to Psyonix. This n...

I have thoughts on Mega Man. I mean, I've played every western release in the franchise, spinoffs included, but the entire saga has been a roller coaster ride; and that's putting it lightly. Like most of my all-time favorite properties (Zel...

Tom Cruise's Ethan Hunt is a paranoid, insane, and unruly daredevil. Ethan Hunt is also a guardian angel who will save everyone. These are the two ideas that the latest installment of the venerable Mission: Impossible action series, Fallout...

Personally, I never ended up buying a Wii U. My original plan was to wait for Breath of the Wild to release on the system before nabbing one. But by the time that was drawing near, the Switch was announced and right around the corner. Howev...

Sony has a hefty collection of low-key studios at this point. Back at E3 2014 it announced Entwined, a beautiful-looking cross-buy puzzle game that might not have stolen the show, but managed to turn some heads. The team responsible was Pix...

When people say "Square doesn't make old-school RPGs anymore" I can't understand it. We might have been lucky to get two Bravely Defaults, but they've been investing in other projects for years like Setsuna and Lost Sphear. Although th...
