Relive Sony's Hilariously Awkward 2006 E3 Press Conference In HD
21.7.2023
Sony’s big press conference at E3 2006 rapidly became the stuff of legend. Awkward, baffling, hilarious, and stilted all at once, the presser—which touted the PSP and revealed the price point for the PlayStation 3—was easily one of the company’s most memorable, albeit unintentionally so, spawning...
Blizz On Diablo IV Uproar: Won't Do A Patch Like That 'Ever Again'
21.7.2023
The last 48 hours of Diablo IV has been a little chaotic following wildly controversial changes to player power level in the game’s first pre-season patch. Now, developer Blizzard is doing a bit of damage control, taking to a livestream on July 21 to try and explain its decision-making process,...
Pokémon Sleep Is Secretly The Hardest Game In The Series
21.7.2023
Pokémon games are not typically difficult. Because the RPGs are meant to be an all-ages affair, getting through them is usually just about knowing type advantages and striking an enemy’s weakness for a one-hit knockout. That’s why fan-made rules like the Nuzlocke came to be: Players have to find...

21.7.2023
I started regularly playing competitive online games in 2007, with the launch of Halo 3. Back then, participating in in-game voice chat was harrowing for a 17-year-old girl whose voice betrayed her gender and her youth. I was subjected to such frequent and horrific hostility (rape threats...

Every Street Fighter Game, Ranked From Worst To Best
21.7.2023
1987 saw the start of something huge, though no one knew it at the time. Capcom’s Street Fighter seemed like just another arcade game.

New Last Of Us PC Mod Turns Game Into Intense FPS
20.7.2023
The Last of Us Part 1 is a brutal game that features a lot of murder and gore.

Fantastic New Horror Game Mixes Sesame Street With Resident Evil
19.7.2023
I love The Muppets and Sesame Street. With their loveable puppets and goofy characters, these shows are quintessential children’s TV. However, I also have this odd fear. What if the puppets in those shows were real? Like actually existed in our world? Would they all be immortal? Powerful?...
