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 ...

Well, if it isn't the weekend already. I hope for you it has been a nifty seven days since we last spoke here and that the weather is picking up beautifully as spring springs... sprungs... sprangs? in your part of the globe. I hope this wee...

It's the weekend, and not just any weekend, but the Easter weekend! That means extra days off for some of you and copious amounts of chocolate for others. I'm trying to shed some pounds, so it's gonna be rough, but I hope those of you that ...

The other day I was discussing the prospect of the next Resident Evil remake with a reader after the smash hit success of the Resident Evil 2 remake. While a ton of people were jazzed at the prospect of re-imagining Resident ...

One day you're going to wake up to the news that CoroCoro magazine unveiled a new Pokémon for the newly announced Sword and Shield that's literally a piece of trash and you're going to be pissed. It's inevitable. Before any...

Kingdom Hearts III has arrived at last. Long-time fans can pick up where they left off back when they were likely much different people than they are today. First-timers like me are in for a madcap ride. I haven't touched any of the main Ki...

Life's little joys are even better when you share them with the people you care about. Whether you're a long-time community member, an occasional reader, or you just happen to be passing through and you're still feeling out the place, I th...

This week, we finally got out first look at the roster for NetherRealm Studios' upcoming face-masher Mortal Kombat 11. Confirmed playable were Outworld fighter Baraka, Special Forces agent Sonya Blade, sexually-charged ninja buddies Sub-Zer...

You might need to type a throwaway message before you can come up with an accurate response, but here goes: which thumb do you use to hit the space bar? Right? Left? Both? None of the above? It started with an innocent question posed in Des...

Fourteen days is a long time, especially when you're inundated with deals, discounts, and bargains. And for game-hungry consumers, Steam's annual Winter Sale seems to stretch on forever. From the week before Christmas to the yawning, early ...

We're far removed from the whole "Assassin's Creed is bad" mantra. Origins rocked it then Assassin's Creed Odyssey rekindled that fire; and with the series taking a year off in 2019, it looks like Ubisoft isn't ready to ruin ...

Shade, shade all around. With the strong rumor floating about that Crash Team Racing is the next Crash remake project, I've seen a number of "yeah but it's not as good as Mario Kart" sentiments. As my photographic memory flashes b...
