The Last Of Us PC Port Has Us In Tears…Over Its Amazing Glitches
29.3.2023
Here I was expecting The Last of Us’ long-awaited arrival on PC to be a mostly non-eventful yet worthy addition to fans’ Steam libraries. The series just celebrated a hit HBO TV adaptation and the Part I remake on PS5 definitely makes a compelling case to revisit this storied game…certainly the...
Pedro Pascal Has No Right To Look This Good At A Damn Game Event
29.3.2023
Pedro Pascal clearly gives it his all no matter what role he’s diving into. Nothing has convinced me more of this fact than Pascal’s recent turn as the face of mobile game Merge Mansion, which now includes his attendance at a real-life recreation of the in-game manor. Pascal not only showed up...

GameStop may have made a profit in 2022, but sales are still below expectations, particularly in North America. In the company’s full year financial report for 2022, meant for investors but funny to read regardless of who you are, it outlined what it believes to be a significant hurdle: there...

Hear ye, hear ye, fellow Tarnished, for another Elden Ring legend has been born. This time, instead of a loin cloth-wearing guy with a jar on his head that solos the scarlet rot goddess Malenia, it’s a loin cloth-wearing girl with a jar on her head that has helped some 3,000 other players slay...
Dead Space's 'New Game Plus' Is A Good Reminder That Being OP Can Be Awesome
29.3.2023
I’d skulked my way through the dark corridors of the Ishimura, holding my breath the entire time. Never forgetting that at any moment, a deadly necromorph could pop out from the vents and make short work of me, I held my weapon aloft all the while. If I chanced upon an explosive canister, I’d...

In 10 Minutes, Nintendo Rekindled Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom's Lost Hype
29.3.2023
Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom may go on to be one of the biggest games of the year, but that hasn’t saved it from lingering fan doubt. The stakes are high: not only is the open-world adventure a sequel to one of the best games of all time, it’s also releasing for what’s seen as increasingly dated...
Diablo IV Quest Designer Shows How The Narrative Sausage Gets Made
28.3.2023
Diablo’s lore isn’t necessarily the popular action-RPG series’ main appeal. When you’re in the thick of it, hecticly chasing endless streams of glorious loot, it’s very easy to forget the details of where you’re fighting or who even lives in this world. Even so, Diablo IV’s developers think it...
As A Resident Evil 4 Newcomer, Remake's Village Fight Is Shockingly Brutal
28.3.2023
Resident Evil 4 combines two of my least favorite things in the world: shooting and horror. But with the remake out, and nearly twenty years passing since my initial adverse reaction to it (you can’t expect an elementary schooler to adequately handle their character being axed in the head),...

Resident Evil 4 Remake’s Auto-Sort Feature Has Changed The Game
28.3.2023
Resident Evil games have always been, in part, storage management simulators. You must carefully craft how each item fits into your bag, case, or whatever else you’re using to lug your gear around. Like many others, I took great pride in this. I would take care in how I stored all my weapons...
