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...

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...

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...

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...
