There's something about late December that makes me want to dig out my GameCube, a stack of games, and a full set of official, full-sized, non-junky controllers. Maybe you can directly relate, or maybe you have your own personal "gaming com...

Five Nights at Freddy's really falls into that "single developer" category that's been so prevalent in the 2010s. Scott Cawthon is responsible for a multi-million-dollar empire, alongside of recent solo studio names like Matt Thorson, Toby ...

I'm on the precipice of finishing the Galarian Gym Challenge in Pokémon Shield, after catching a wide array of Pokémon and scoring copious amounts of EXP Candy from Max Raid Battles I've grinded in the Wild Area. Eve...

It's hard to believe that the Darksiders series is nearly 10 years old. Literally just another month or so to go and we'll have reached the 10th anniversary of the original game: the original that challenged our notions of classics like Sou...

Ring Fit Adventure came out a month and a half ago, and the unopened box I bought is still sitting on my Switch shelf. I know, right! I've been busy with a bunch of other games, and now that the slower winter season is upon us, I think...

Anecdotally, there was an overwhelming amount of support for Pokemon Sword over Shield during the new generational reveal, and it seems like the sales data supports that. Breaking down the Japanese sales numbers even further, Dengeki O...

The Persona series has such a rich tapestry of characters that you could probably argue all day over who your own individual favorites are, but as a cat owner at heart, Morgana really hit home in Persona 5. The fact that he can transfo...

Some people don't like to pick out a starter Pokémon until they know dang well what they're in for further down the evolutionary line. Well, you don't have to wait any longer – a big (and entirely expected) leak happened less t...

After reporting that the PS4 had beaten the Wii and the original PlayStation and became the second-best selling home console of all-time (behind the PS2), I had no idea that such an interesting conversation would break out among the communi...

My eyes insisted on staying extra shut this morning, and the culprit is clear: The Outer Worlds. I traded away a good night's rest in order to comb through the opening planet in Obsidian's just-launched Fallout-as-hell RPG, a choice I suspe...

With all the recent FL4K nerfs, the discussions surrounding them really got me thinking: who do you play as in Borderlands 3 most of the time? I stuck with FL4K for my first playthrough during my review session, and although I did...

After asking which Super Nintendo game you intended to play first with Nintendo Switch Online, it's only fair that we extend the same question to all of the Sega fans in the audience. The Sega Genesis Mini launched today with 42 different g...

The long-rumored SNES Switch Online functionality was revealed yesterday. Finally! And thank goodness, it didn't involve the similarly rumored "extra pricing tier." 20 games all at once isn't too shabby either (especially given the drip-fed...

There's a certain delicate nature to introducing people to something, whether it's a spouse or your child. If you come on too strong they might be turned off (sometimes for life). But if pick something just right, it can resonate with them ...

I've cherished this summer as a chance to catch up on video games that slipped through the cracks in 2019 or otherwise felt like too much of a time commitment to get into at launch, but soon enough, it'll be fall. The big-hitters will begin...

I wasn't going to get Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3, at least not at launch. I barely paid any attention to the game leading up to its release, and I'm not particularly attached to the series like many of you are. But when the big day arrived ...

It's been a few weeks now since Samurai Shodown released with a wicked vengeance. As I've been playing it and following tournament videos, even two weeks out, there's a lot of stuff to be discovered in a new entry to a series that hasn't be...

It can happen to the best of us. You get a sudden urge to revisit a specific video game from your past – maybe a childhood classic that fills your heart with nostalgic joy, maybe an old favorite you'd like to share with someone specia...

While a lot of our brave editors managed to crawl out to LA to check out Monster Hunter World: Iceborne a few weeks ago, a sizable portion of us may have finally gotten their hands on their own gameplay of Iceborne, courtesy of being PlaySt...

I will never forget Sony's opening salvo that one fateful E3: "this is how you share games on PS4." Amid Microsoft's Draconian DRM-fueled original Xbox One hellscape vision, Sony was the one came out of the gate like Michael the Archangel, ...

Playing Zelda: Breath of the Wild in a vacuum was fantastic. I had nearly two weeks to mess around in this vast open world and shut myself off from any potential peer conversations until I was finished with it. Waiting to hear how people wo...

And just like that, it's the weekend once again. How has your week been? Hope it's been a fine one. I got my new glasses, by the way, and I hate them, so you ain't seeing that shit. Maybe if I find better frames or something, but right now ...

It's Saturday. But I'm afraid I don't have a lot for you this week. I can tell you a tale of a visit to the opticians, which results in a pricey pair of glasses that I don't want to wear. But other than that, not much to report... I've got ...

It's the day after Friday. If nearly four decades of life has taught me anything, that means that today is Saturday and the weekend starts here! For plenty of you that means a couple of days of doing your own thang, or at least some boring ...

Rage is kind of a blur for me. I'm not even 100% sure it exists. When it came out I casually picked it up, blazed through it in roughly 10 hours, then forgot about it until it showed up on Breaking Bad. This was pre-Doom 2016 revelation id ...
