14.12.2022
I’m not just a clown, I’m the entire circus.

13.12.2022
Pokémon has a new meta contender in town, and it’s…a cute mouse family? That’s right. In addition to having unsettling in-game implications like how parents hatch out of a single egg, the Tandemaus line is also incredibly powerful: its signature move can exceed the base power of attacks such...
'Next-Gen' Witcher 3 Is A Nice Upgrade, Whether You're New Or Coming Back
12.12.2022
Almost seven years later, The Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt doesn’t just hold up: it’s still head-and-shoulders above most of the competition.

Amazon Is Giving Out Dishonored 2 Free, One Of The Best Sneaking Games Ever
12.12.2022
The attention-grabbing headline for this story, of games coming with Amazon Prime membership this holiday, would be “Ten Free Games!” But when the other nine are so old they’re starting to peel at the edges, that’d be pretty anticlimactic. The true news here is the utterly fantastic Dishonored 2...

9.12.2022
The 2022 Game Awards kicked off in a big way. Not with a new blockbuster world premiere or a stunning upset, but with Scarface himself walking out on stage to deliver the award for best video game performance. Al Pacino clearly owed someone a favor, or a lot of money, and we are all the richer...
