Once I'm well into retirement age, will I still keep up with video games (whatever they might look like by then)? Will I live in the countryside with four large dogs and spend my afternoons on jigsaw puzzles? I don't know what the future ho...

Speaking in Polish magazine Gram, the developers of Pokemon GO, Ninatic, made mention of an upcoming PvP mode, which is currently in development for the uber-popular mobile title.In the interview, Niantic's Head of Product Marketing, Anne B...

Donut County should appeal to fans of Katamari Damacy. It's a lighthearted game in which you are a hole that can move around and swallow objects to grow larger, and you'll solve puzzles along the way. After a long wait, it's nearly ready fo...

Eight seconds. That's how long bullriders try to stay on top of a wild, bucking bull. Eight seconds. That's the maximum amount of time the bull has to put up with these cowboys' bullshit. There's evidently an "official game of the Professi...

Have you ever wondered where Team Liquid's Hungrybox got the nickname of “Clutchbox?” Have you ever thought about exactly what is going through the Smash...

With the latest update for Pokémon Go on iOS and Android, players can now get "Lucky" Pokémon that need less Stardust to power up. Here's how it works: "The longer the Pokémon spends inside a Trainer's Pokémon st...

I'll always have a soft spot for tower defense games and the Kingdom Rush series is one of my favorites. It just really suits mobile well. After working on the real-time strategy title Iron Marines, developer Ironhide Game Studio is now ret...

Quick! Don't even think about it! Between Turtwig, Chimchar, and Piplup, who's the best starter? Niantic has posted artwork for Pokémon Go's two-year anniversary depicting a rather crowded camp out. I always love seeing images like t...

The last time Frank tried to launder money, his shell corporation, Frank's Fluids, saw Wolf Cola accidentally become the official soft drink of terrorist group Boko Haram. Let's hope this venture isn't the same kind of public relations nigh...

Pokémon Go has entered its terrible twos. So much has changed (and so much hasn't). To celebrate the game's second birthday, Niantic is letting Pikachu in on the sunglasses fun alongside our boy Squirtle. Now through July 31, Pok&eac...

For the most part I pick games that are either striking in some way or another or just flat-out goofy looking when I decide to write about them. For reviews, I get to be even more picky as the "good" games are gobbled up by tenured staff, l...

Sony effectively killed the Vita earlier this year when they announced that they were ending physical game card production soon. Long live the Vita. An excellent portable plagued by strange growing pains like exorbitantly priced proprietary...

We have a new way to kill some time while we patiently wait around to see if Dead Island 2 eventually gets canned. (Seriously, it has been more than a year since we last heard about it, and that was just Deep Silver confirming it wasn...

I'm of the opinion that all Pokémon, no matter how big or small or useless they are, should wear sunglasses. But if there's one particular pocket monster destined to rock shades, it's gotta be Squirtle. The spirit of the Squirtle Sq...

Having played several hours of Cat Quest several weeks ago I came away impressed, and publisher PQube seems to be encouraged by the feedback thus far to warrant a dive into a physical version on Switch. The November 2017 launch seemed ...

I can't think of any game in recent memory that's waxed and waned as much as Pokemon Go, at least in my household. It was a rush to play at the height of its popularity, when anyone and everyone was going out and learning about various pock...

An evening of puttering around in Pokemon Quest on Nintendo Switch was plenty for me. I was curious enough to download the tap-centric free-to-play game at launch, but I also knew to keep a healthy distance. Stick around too long and you'll...

During its E3 2018 press conference, Bethesda announced The Elder Scrolls: Blades, a "massive" new first-person RPG built for mobile and playable in landscape or portrait mode. Bethesda's Todd Howard described it as the team wanting "an exp...

Creating digital card games is a tough gig, even for giants like Hearthstone. You have to constantly be shifting the goal posts to get people to buy into new sets, balance them, maintain a pro scene if applicable, and keep folks addicted wh...

Niantic has struggled with cheaters in Pokemon Go from the onset, and their responses have had a polarizing effect on the game's players. Rather than address users that spoof or exploit Go, the company has focused a lot of their effort...

Square Enix is the rare example of a major traditional games publisher who has been able to properly enter the mobile market. With its Montreal studio mostly devoted to mobile games, Square Enix found a formula for adapting some of its bigg...

Rumors about the next Pokémon games have been spreading like wildfire these past couple weeks, with supposed leaks and trademarks leading fans to believe that two Pokémon Yellow remakes -- one branded Let's Go! Pikachu, the ot...

Project CARS hangs its hat on being a faithful simulation of racing across all types of vehicles and conditions. The next installment probably won't aspire to reach those heights simply because of its platform. The third Project CARS&n...

In case you haven't heard, Atlus put out a mobile game based on the SMT universe called Dx2 Shin Megami Tensei: Liberation. It's live in Japan at the moment, and the company is working on an English version for release at an unspecifie...

There was a time where pretty much everyone I knew was using Miitomo, Nintendo's forgotten first mobile app (it wasn't Super Mario Run!). Then it kind of died off -- which wasn't an isolated incident it seems -- so much so that Nintendo ann...

We've known about Edmund McMillan and James Id's The Legend of Bum-bo for a good long while now, but we've never actually known much about it. Bum-bo is a companion in The Binding of Isaac, and this game has been billed as a prequel t...
