10 Brilliant Games To Play With Your Family This Holiday Season


Despite my annual letter writing campaign, the schools still close during the Christmas period. As such, your home might become far more plagued by small children, whether they’re your own or those of family or friendly invaders. How can you occupy them, once they’ve tired of shivering on...

What's Worth Picking Up From Nintendo’s End-Of-Year Hidden Gems Switch Sale


As the death bell tolls for 2021, Nintendo and a suite of independent publishers have chosen to give us some final indie game sales before sending this garbage year off into that sweet night. All things considered, it’s a pretty excellent send-off, composed of many of the last few years’ best indie...

Renata Price’s Top Ten Games Of 2021


2021 has been a tremendously odd year. It has also been my first year with a real job as a games writer. This means that I have a lot of pent-up feelings from the past several years about video games that I love, many of which are embodied by this very strange and messy list–which, yes, includes...

The Arcade In The Last Of Us 2 Has Seemingly Closed IRL


There’s an arcade in The Last of Us Part II in which Ellie fights a bloater. It’s a tense encounter, with the scrappy avenger battling the zombie all on her own. The fight’s backdrop of gaming ruins is apparently based on a real spot in Seattle. Now, the real-life arcade, GameWorks Seattle,...

Mother Watch Promoted With Appropriately Offbeat Commercial


We may not be getting a Mother 4 any time soon (well, officially at least), but series creator Shigesato Itoi is still busy pumping out merchandise by way of the Hobonichi Mother Project. Of course, seeing as it’s related to one of gaming’s most absurd franchises, the latest product reveal is...

Pokémon Twitch Streamer Stunned At Hitting Shiny Monster Jackpot


It’s incredibly rare to encounter a Shiny Pokémon in Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. It’s even rarer to encounter two in a row in the same battle. Several thousand times rarer, in fact. But that’s exactly what happened to one Twitch streamer when he was least expecting it.Read more

Esports High School Opening In Japan Next Spring


Do you like video games? Are you going to be a high school student in Japan? If you answered “yes” to both, have I got an academic institution for you. This April, as junior high school students across Japan enter high school, a new type of specialty institution will open its doors. Dubbed “Esport...

Thank Goodness, Japan Built Another Giant Gundam


The whole has been shaken up by the global pandemic. Many things have changed, but one thing that has not is Japan is still building giant Gundams. Thank goodness for that. That latest one-to-one scale recreation is the RX-93FF ν (Nu) Gundam, a revamped version of the Nu Gundam everyone knows...

The Best Games To Check Out During Steam’s Massive Winter Sale


Yes, Gamers, it is that time of year again—time for the Steam Winter Sale, which becomes more of a normal seasonal sale and less of a gamified mess with every year that passes (for better and for worse). 2021 was a pretty great, albeit odd, year for video games, so I wanted to bring that strange...

The Joker Admitting He Plays An RPG Might Be The Best Video Game Ad Of 2021


We all know The Joker has lost it. He goes around performing heinous acts of violence, all in an effort to prove life has perennial comedic potential. But how many of us knew he was a *gulp* gamer? I didn’t. That is until a twin set of advertisements for the idle figurine RPG Figure Fantasy started...

Your Halo Infinite Spartan Can Now Wear Cat Ears And It's About Damn Time


Wasn’t I just commending Halo Infinite a couple of weeks ago for letting me wear cutesy stuff like sunflowers and roses? Now I’m back to sing its praises for a different type of armor attachment that will be a familiar sight to egirls and weebs alike. Yes, Master Chief can now wear cat ears. This...

Ian Walker's Top Ten Games Of 2021


Writing up a “Top X Games Of X Year” list is always a slog, but all the ups and downs of 2021—both personal and global—made it even harder. Frankly, there were points over the last 12 months where the last thing I wanted to do was sit down and play a video game.Read more

Meme Stock GameStop Now Accepts Meme Cryptos Like Doge


In a year which began with memes helping to propel GameStop’s junk stock price into the stratosphere, it’s only fitting that the shrinking video game retailer should cap the frivolities off by cozying up to cryptocurrencies. Last week, GameStop apparently joined Flexa, a payment network that lets...

John Walker's Top 10 Games Of 2021


The good news about 2021 is the world’s governments have all agreed that it’s been so bad it doesn’t count, and no one has to add the past year to their age. Sucks for American 20-year-olds, for sure, but it’s a small price to pay. The other good news is that, despite a weird-ass year for gaming...

The Best RPGs Of 2021


There was, I would argue, no genre-defining role-playing game this year, but there were still a hell of a lot of good ones. So many, in fact, that I had a hard time keeping this list from ballooning even larger than it already is. I tried my best, and even knocked off some of my personal favorites....

The 11 Best Cozy Games That Helped Us Survive 2021


This year was the worst of times and...no, wait. I’m hearing it was just the worst of times. But games have helped a lot of us through it, especially ones that lean more relaxing than punishing.Read more
