Is that delivery? No, it’s an Xbox Series X/S controller designed in a lab to smell like pizza. In the leadup to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem’s August 2023 release, Microsoft is giving away a certain number of TMNT-themed, slice-infused controllers.Read more
It Looks Like Armored Core VI Will Have Six-Player Multiplayer
24.7.2023
Mech game Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon seems to include a robust multiplayer system, potentially building on the limited co-op and PvP present in developer FromSoftware’s usually solo journeys through Hell. Fans took photos of physical Japanese copies of the game (which is due August 25)...

Nintendo Posts Yona, Sidon Simps Are Screaming, Crying, Throwing Up
21.7.2023
You know, I’ve gotta admire the bravery of Nintendo’s social teams to post even one single tweet about Yona, Sidon’s surprise fiance in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. However, I also doubt they were that shocked to see fans, slighted by her taking Link’s boyfriend away from him, rolled...
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...
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.

This Nintendo Franchise Doesn’t Sell, And Shigeru Miyamoto Has A Theory
20.7.2023
Pikmin 4 is out tomorrow, July 21, and from the sound of it, the Switch game is pretty dope. Despite this, the series has only had four mainline games since the first entry launched on the GameCube in 2001. The games don’t perform as well as other first-party Nintendo games, with the best-selling...
Final Fantasy XVI Has The Most Depressing Visuals In Series History
20.7.2023
As a work of epic fantasy, I expected Final Fantasy XVI to dazzle me visually—especially on my expensive PlayStation 5. But while select scenes do delight visually, they are sadly infrequent. For whatever reason, about halfway through Square Enix’s latest mega-budget RPG the game decides that it’s...
The Video Game Endings We'll Never Forget, For Better Or Worse
19.7.2023
A lot of people never finish the video games they buy. We’re all guilty of it, and as a result, we’ve missed out some pretty memorable finales, both good and bad. For some games, an ending can be a great culmination of hours and hours of storytelling, design decisions, and and interacting with...

Behold: Glorious Mario Kart Player Avoids An Endless Onslaught Of Blue Shells
19.7.2023
Every Mario Kart player knows the pain of the blue shell (or spiny shell, as it’s technically called). When used, the flying, homing projectile will jet for the racer currently in first place and slams down on them with a concentrated explosion. It’s a menace. Anyone who’s winning a race in these...

Yu-Gi-Oh! Is Faltering, But Fans Feel Konami's Ignoring Them
14.7.2023
During a recent Konami shareholder meeting, the game company’s president addressed concerns that its latest free-to-play Yu-Gi-Oh! game, Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel, has negatively affected the franchise’s growth. A shareholder noted that Master Duel’s play style poorly translates to the popular trading...
Final Fantasy XVI DLC Might Be Back On The Table And Fans Know What They Want
13.7.2023
It’s kind of unthinkable that a massive RPG wouldn’t get some sort of post-launch DLC in the year 2023, but that’s apparently what the plan was for Final Fantasy XVI earlier this year. That may be changing, however, with producer Naoki Yoshida now saying that the game’s development team is looking...
12 Things We Lowkey Love About Final Fantasy XVI
13.7.2023
I’ve finished Final Fantasy XVI and am now working on 100 percenting it, including beating the game a second time on the New Game+ “Final Fantasy” mode difficulty. For all the game’s flaws, of which there are plenty, there’s just so much it does that I just can’t get enough of. From the music...
Tears Of The Kingdom: Fans Are Killing Ganon In Embarrassing Ways
12.7.2023
Link’s challenge in Tears of the Kingdom is to take down a grand evil threat to save the world of Hyrule. But while many players choose to take on the game’s final boss, Ganon, with a traditional means of sword fighting, others have taken to finding more clever, rather humiliating forms of foiling...
Tears Of The Kingdom Players Keep Doing Things You Didn't Know Were Possible
12.7.2023
On reflection, it’s bizarre how much Nintendo underplayed Tears of the Kingdom’s fusing abilities. Completely hidden in the earlier trailers, and really only vaguely hinted at before release, this addition of crafting to the Breath of the Wild sequel has been fundamentally game-changing. It’s also...
