The Crew Motorfest Is A Wackier, More Frustrating Forza Horizon
15.9.2023

Pokémon Scarlet & Violet - The Teal Mask: The Kotaku Review
14.9.2023
I’ve put over 120 hours into last November’s Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, and I think at some point between then and now, I must have mentally suppressed just how poorly these open-world Switch games run. Either that, or their first DLC, The Teal Mask, is somehow worse at holding itself together...

2023's Coolest Video Game Map Is Here
12.9.2023
It’s rare that a video game map will make me excited. Hell, it’s rare that I even notice them, as most maps are serviceable and little more. So before playing a few hours of Ubisoft’s open-world racing game, The Crew Motorfest, I didn’t expect to be blown away by its in-game map. And yet, I was....
