When I was watching the State of Play, I saw Crimson Desert. But I didn’t really look at it. On first glance, it looked a lot like what Blades of...

Bandai Namco is dropping some new DLC for Dragon Ball: Sparking! ZERO (I will never get used to typing out that title). This one, called Dragon Ball...

Very few publishers bring me the level of joy that Devolver Digital does. The company does a great job finding and promoting indie games that are just...
After seven (eventful) years out of print, Vice magazine came back with a bang. In our spring 2025 issue, we… Contact membersupport@vice.com with...
Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds is one of my most anticipated games this year. A lot of that is because I’m still waiting for someone to take the crown...
It’s a bad time to get caught up in some art-related controversy. Ask the folks at Bungie how that’s going for them. This time around, it’s...
I got here in October 2024. Since then, I’ve devoted a significant portion of my time here to pushing indie games. It’s not at all an...
The Six One Indie Showcase for September has landed, and with it comes the standard humor we’ve all come to know and love. But it also brings a...
I had totally forgotten that Sony was taking Tencent to court behind Light of Motiram. And I wrote about the situation twice. Part of that comes down...

It’s going to be a good couple of days for updates. Apple just dropped its iOS 26 update, and I’ve been bouncing around my phone getting a handle...
