In what Sony calls a "comprehensive evaluation process," which basically means "nearly all of our fans turned on us and we hurt our brand," they are now considering cross-platform play, starting with Fortnite...today. Sony says that people ...

Pokemon Go lost me with EX raids. I loved the idea of going to raids openly with friends and participating whenever I felt like it. But the forced mechanic of requiring players to earn "EX passes" (heralded by Mewtwo) before they even had t...

Something big is going to happen in Fortnite, and it's going to happen soon. Epic is teasing some sort of thematic change in what is, presumably, the lead-up to Season 6. Yesterday, there were sudden lightning strikes on the southeast part ...

Fortnite's latest limited time mode doesn't award Victory Royales for eliminating all other players. No, Score Royale puts near-equal emphasis on looting and killing, which means that opening chests and supply drops are just as good as offi...

Once upon a time in my Final Fantasy XI days, I had a dream. Smartphones were a relatively new occurrence at the time, as was social media, but I had already seen the potential and it fired up my imagination. I daydreamed about an app that ...

King started off as a lowly browser game provider before it catapulted into stardom as a result of Candy Crush, roughly nine years after it started out. It's pretty much synonymous with the company now, especially after they were bought by ...

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...

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...

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...
