Final Fantasy XVI Dev Is Out Here Promising Next-Gen PS5 Wind You Can Feel
31.3.2023
More new-gen exclusives are slowly starting to trickle out onto the PlayStation 5 and developers are now trying harder than ever to explain why they needed to ditch the PS4, and why it’s worth making a game a console exclusive. Previously it was Guerrilla Games with Horizon Forbidden West’s Burning...
Most Horror Anime Is Dark And Gritty. This One Is Gorgeous
31.3.2023
Most of the time, horror is ugly. Whether they’re chunky zombies in Dead Island 2 or grotesque titans in Attack on Titan, the objects of our attention are intrinsically repulsive to us. Hell’s Paradise tries a very different approach. The manga, which ran from 2018-2021, juxtaposes beauty with...
Comparing Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom's Map To Breath Of The Wild Sparks Juicy Fan Theories
31.3.2023
One of the biggest gripes I’ve heard about The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom regards Nintendo’s decision to revisit the same location, especially given the limitations of the Switch. The fear is that we’re going to get a very incremental follow-up to one of the best games of all time....
Every Super Mario Game Ranked From Worst To Best
31.3.2023

The Great War Tries Once Again To Bring WW1 To Video Games
31.3.2023
For such a momentous period in human history, the First World War has been relatively under-served by video games. Mostly because the defining theatre of the conflict—the nightmarish trench warfare of the Western Front—is almost impossible to recreate in the medium.Read more
E3 Wasn't Canceled, It Was Killed
31.3.2023
E3 is dead. Again. Probably for good this time, given the circumstances. A lot of people have a lot of feelings—a weird thing for regular folks to have, since this was an industry trade show—but one thing we should be remembering through all the tributes and dunks is that E3 didn’t mismanage...
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis Learns Hard Lesson: Don't Mess With Disney Lawyers
31.3.2023

The Best Moments In E3 History
30.3.2023
Before E3, everyone gets excited for the big new announcements. But after E3, all anyone remembers—and cherishes—are the kind of screw-ups, misfires and awkward heroism you can only get when corporate executives and video game developers have to get on stage and act like salespeople in front...
The Super Mario Bros. Movie Is Flooding Everything ATM
30.3.2023
I look out the train. A bright red cap stares back at me. I step out of the train. A bus departs the curb, plumbers splashed across its metal body. I open my laptop. Seth Rogen isn’t singing the Donkey Kong rap, because that would be unbecoming, but he’s still feeding the beast.Read more

Fortnite Is The Future Of Music Streaming
30.3.2023

Suddenly, my boat crashes. When I wake up, wet on a wooden dock in a town I don’t know, the lighthouse above doesn’t look like it’s pointing toward salvation. But I’m playing the disquieting new fishing sim Dredge, and I eventually learn that feeling out of my depth—subject to the changing waters’...
Warzone 2 Frustration Is Fueling Some Wild Cheating Conspiracies
30.3.2023
Warzone 2.0 hasn’t been a universal hit with fans of Call of Duty. Various gameplay and UI changes and frustrations over a slow and sometimes confusing battle pass structure have pushed many players, including pros and popular streamers, off the game, with many migrating to other games or...
New Doom Game Is Cute And Fun Until You Run Out Of Energy
30.3.2023
Mighty Doom, out now on iOS and Android, is a free-to-play Archero-like top-down shooter starring the one and only Doom Slayer, aka the Doomguy. In many ways, it reminds me of those weird ‘80s cartoons that adapted gory, adult action films into kid-friendly animated shows, like Rambo or RoboCop....
Horizon Forbidden West’s DLC Is A PS5 Exclusive Because...Clouds, Apparently

The 8 Most Controversial Rides In Disney Theme Park History
30.3.2023
“Disney” and “controversial” don’t typically go together. Even so, 58 million people visited Walt Disney World last year; it’s impossible to please them all. And occasionally, there will be an outcry, uproar, outrage, or brouhaha that’s large enough to make the news.Read more

The Sickest Battle Royale You Probably Aren’t Playing Is All About Martial Arts
30.3.2023
Battle royales are everywhere. From first-person shooters like Warzone to (now-defunct) third-person spellcasters such as Spellbreak, the genre has overtaken the industry.
