Stop me if you've done this before: you're playing your favorite card (or otherwise rank-based game), hit up your standard few matches for rewards, keep your ranking stable, then log off. It's a problem for both the publisher and the player...

Late last night Blizzard kicked off their final main panel of BlizzCon's Friday festivities: Hearthstone. Although new cards and the reasoning behind the new dragon-centric set were the toast of the town, Blizzard also took the time to let ...

The third and final chapter in Hearthstone's Year of the Dragon heats up and breathes fire in just one month. The Hearthstone: Descent of the Dragon expansion takes flight on December 10.  The progenitor of all dragons is the new...

After reading CJ's Early Access review I decided to check out The Elder Scrolls: Blades, but really held off playing it in earnest until the Switch edition debuted alongside of the 1.0 edition of the game. That version, as it turns out...

Manifold Garden is what you'd get if you slipped M.C. Escher's Relativity into an art-to-video-game converter. Shifting gravity to walk up walls, leaping off the edge of the world only to fall from the sky and land right back where you star...

They did it. They got my first real, honest-to-goodness five bucks for Apple Arcade. I was originally thinking I'd only stick around for that initial free trial period, but I ended up keeping my subscription going past the first month &ndas...

It's clear there's more work to be done with trainer battles in Pokémon Go. Even if you're okay with the actual structure PvP takes in the game (I still remember the whiplash I felt early on coming from the mainline series), you prob...

Nearly seven years later, it's time to lose ourselves in the "Escher-esque" world of Manifold Garden. Designer William Chyr is releasing his recursive puzzle-adventure game on the Epic Games Store and Apple Arcade on October 18, 2019. To t...

Begun, the Auto Chess wars have. Although a lot of you are sitting in the backseat of this rising phenomenon, calling it a fad, it's still rising. Riot Games has invested heavily in it, banking that it will succeed, with their in-client Lea...

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...
