Animal Crossing: New Horizons is still very young, but it's already been through a series of ups and downs. After folks started to hit the "endgame," some of the creamy faults started to rise to the top. That said, Nintendo has made it very...

Nintendo recently put out an official bingo card for Animal Crossing: New Horizons, and I'm sure a ton of you instantly went "challenge accepted." As you'll notice, a lot of it is stuff you can accomplish an hour in or so, and is a pure mar...

Five Nights at Freddy's really falls into that "single developer" category that's been so prevalent in the 2010s. Scott Cawthon is responsible for a multi-million-dollar empire, alongside of recent solo studio names like Matt Thorson, Toby ...

It's hard to believe that the Darksiders series is nearly 10 years old. Literally just another month or so to go and we'll have reached the 10th anniversary of the original game: the original that challenged our notions of classics like Sou...

Ring Fit Adventure came out a month and a half ago, and the unopened box I bought is still sitting on my Switch shelf. I know, right! I've been busy with a bunch of other games, and now that the slower winter season is upon us, I think...

Anecdotally, there was an overwhelming amount of support for Pokemon Sword over Shield during the new generational reveal, and it seems like the sales data supports that. Breaking down the Japanese sales numbers even further, Dengeki O...

The Persona series has such a rich tapestry of characters that you could probably argue all day over who your own individual favorites are, but as a cat owner at heart, Morgana really hit home in Persona 5. The fact that he can transfo...

After reporting that the PS4 had beaten the Wii and the original PlayStation and became the second-best selling home console of all-time (behind the PS2), I had no idea that such an interesting conversation would break out among the communi...

With all the recent FL4K nerfs, the discussions surrounding them really got me thinking: who do you play as in Borderlands 3 most of the time? I stuck with FL4K for my first playthrough during my review session, and although I did...

The long-rumored SNES Switch Online functionality was revealed yesterday. Finally! And thank goodness, it didn't involve the similarly rumored "extra pricing tier." 20 games all at once isn't too shabby either (especially given the drip-fed...

There's a certain delicate nature to introducing people to something, whether it's a spouse or your child. If you come on too strong they might be turned off (sometimes for life). But if pick something just right, it can resonate with them ...

The dust has settled a bit on Fire Emblem: Three Houses. The game arrived on Switch on July 26, which is eons in the gaming industry, when everyone inevitably moves on to talking about the next big thing. But given that I've always bee...

I will never forget Sony's opening salvo that one fateful E3: "this is how you share games on PS4." Amid Microsoft's Draconian DRM-fueled original Xbox One hellscape vision, Sony was the one came out of the gate like Michael the Archangel, ...

Playing Zelda: Breath of the Wild in a vacuum was fantastic. I had nearly two weeks to mess around in this vast open world and shut myself off from any potential peer conversations until I was finished with it. Waiting to hear how people wo...

Rage is kind of a blur for me. I'm not even 100% sure it exists. When it came out I casually picked it up, blazed through it in roughly 10 hours, then forgot about it until it showed up on Breaking Bad. This was pre-Doom 2016 revelation id ...

The other day I was discussing the prospect of the next Resident Evil remake with a reader after the smash hit success of the Resident Evil 2 remake. While a ton of people were jazzed at the prospect of re-imagining Resident ...

One day you're going to wake up to the news that CoroCoro magazine unveiled a new Pokémon for the newly announced Sword and Shield that's literally a piece of trash and you're going to be pissed. It's inevitable. Before any...

Pictured below: every amiibo figure released worldwide. These little things have served me well in terms of staying up on the amiibo community: which is now a tight-knit group of collectors, removed from the mainstream craze. Yes, while the...

We're far removed from the whole "Assassin's Creed is bad" mantra. Origins rocked it then Assassin's Creed Odyssey rekindled that fire; and with the series taking a year off in 2019, it looks like Ubisoft isn't ready to ruin ...

Shade, shade all around. With the strong rumor floating about that Crash Team Racing is the next Crash remake project, I've seen a number of "yeah but it's not as good as Mario Kart" sentiments. As my photographic memory flashes b...

Darksiders really took me by surprise back in 2010. It kind of just...came out compliments of the now-dead Vigil Games, some of whom moved on to various studios including Gunfire, who are working on the third entry. Though many call it...

After hitting exalted with nearly every new reputation on both the Horde and Alliance sides in World of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth, I've turned my attention to alts and race changes by way of the Allied Race system: a new concept introduc...

In a discussion yesterday about elementary school kids who use their 3DS as their primary music player, I got swept up in a gale of nostalgia. For many of those kids that was their first system: a multifaceted device that could really, do a...

Every World of Warcraft player, new or old, has a favorite era. Whether it was the one they played first or the one right before they left: there are a lot of individual, personal stories that were born out of this 14 year old phenomen...

As I've opined many times these past few weeks, it's hard to believe that the World of Warcraft character I started (an Orc Shaman) over a decade ago is still alive and well within the data centers of Blizzard. I've played through ever...
