It is a school holiday in most parts of the United States, yet no children are spending their off-day glued to Fortnite. They can't. Yesterday, Epic went and deleted Fortnite from existence -- sending a barrage of rockets and meteors t...

Apple Arcade made a big splash day one, and I couldn't be happier. Tasked with killing a microtransaction/gacha-hungry monster it helped create, Apple is trying out the subscription model, and the best part is that every game is a premium r...

Apple Arcade launched on September 19 on mobile devices, and as of today, is available in most regions for the iPad and Apple TV. That's a decent spread of devices for folks who don't own an iPhone, and a Mac rollout is scheduled for later ...

I loved Journey, and the time has finally come for me to see if I'll love thatgamecompany's follow-up adventure too. Apple's recently-added support for Xbox One and PlayStation 4 controllers on iOS was precisely the push I needed to give Sk...

Now that we're nearing the one-month mark for Apple Arcade, I've begun checking the App Store more regularly to see if there are any new games to play before I figure out the fate of my subscription. A few more titles just popped up recentl...

Say what you will about Dr. Mario World (and I will!), but you have to give it to Nintendo for constantly supporting it. World's developers have been adding doctors and worlds amid myriad content updates for the past few months, which inclu...

I don't ask much of you. I'm not your parent, so I don't care whether you eat your veggies. I'm not your boss, so I don't care what time you roll out of bed. I'm just a guy who writes words on the internet, and then you get to decide whethe...

I'm eagerly awaiting Dragon Quest Walk, the next mobile game that'll pump me up to stroll around town, but today's Dragon Quest news concerns a different title, one that first made waves in 2015. Dragon Quest of the Stars is venturing outsi...

Klei Entertainment is low key one of my favorite developers in the industry today. Even if they don't hit all their marks they aren't afraid to try anything new, and have tackled myriad genres like stealth platforming, survival, strategy, p...

Spy/thief/espionage fiction is a sweet spot for me. I could watch Ocean's movies ad nauseam, and even though Eon has no clue what to do with James Bond in the modern era, you better believe I'm there in theaters waiting to see if they ...

So far the Apple Arcade initiative has been an eclectic mix of indies, but with so many on offer it's very easy to miss those rare gems. Sneaky Sasquatch is one of those games you might scroll through on the way to a Shantae or an Exit...

Bethesda just announced the Jaws of Oblivion expansion for The Elder Scrolls: Legends card game, and guess what?! It's Oblivion-based. As fans recall, the 2006 game, titled "The Elder Scrolls IV," tore open the open world market a...

WayForward sure as hell knows how to sell a game. With a cartoon intro that looks straight out of the '80s/early '90s as-is, downloading Spidersaurs on the Apple Arcade is an easy ask. It doesn't fully execute that lovely premise, but ...

There's something especially insidious about Lakitu, a very cute and classic Nintendo character, telling you to gamble and rub a pipe to shoot out premium rewards. Mario Kart Tour is one of the most predatory mainstream mobile games in...

When a puzzle game's central mechanic is seared in your mind to the extent that it vividly flashes before you every time you close your eyes, you know you've overdone it. That's precisely where I'm at right now with Capybara's new puzzler G...

It's hard to believe, but the relatively recent Enter the Gungeon is now officially a franchise. I mean it pretty much cemented itself as one once the arcade cabinet was unveiled at E3 this year, but now it's officially official with a clev...

While Pokémon GO may have fallen out of the mainstream media's attention, that's certainly not a commentary on its ongoing success. In fact, Niantic's monster-catching AR title celebrated its most financially successful month since l...

For Fortnite players who find kills tough to come by, there's an easier opponent on the horizon. Epic Games finally plans to introduce a proper MMR system into Fortnite, and, in the case of less-skilled players, that means adding some ...

Rayman is one of those series that I'm glad never died. So many mascot platformers were unceremoniously killed off (seriously, where's my Jersey Devil and Aero the Acro-Bat remasters?), but Rayman endured, even with new ...

It's hard to believe that Shantae and the Seven Sirens is just...out on the Apple Arcade (kind of)! I mean Shantae games are an event at this point following the incredible second showing of Risky's Revenge. From Ga...

When Apple Arcade was first announced, I never expected to one day use the subscription service to play a deep-sea metroidvania game from Capcom. What a wild thought. Even now, it feels like a dream. Looking through the launch lineup, Apple...

One of the most appealing facets of Apple Arcade is the idea that I can try before I buy. I know a lot of games these days come with demos, but usually those are extremely limited in how much you'll be able to see of the final product. With...

What the Golf? is as good as I hoped it'd be, which is to say, "very." I'm honestly relieved! The game takes an otherworldly view of golf, twisting and turning a basic premise in increasingly outlandish ways not unlike something out of Wari...

I shouldn't need to talk you into picking up a game as perfect as Downwell when it's free. Heck, you should probably already own it somewhere -- PC, Switch, PS4, mobile -- because it's only $3. But, $3 is $3, and free is free. For the ...

So iOS 13 is finally out, and Apple is doubling down on gaming. Apple Arcade is in full swing with a ton of games, and you can now use your Xbox One and PS4 remotes on your iOS devices. Yes! Here's how to set that up (not that it's hard, bu...
