A whopping 19 years ago last week, Obsidian and LucasArts released Knights of the Old Republic 2—a rough, unfinished romp around the Star Wars galaxy. Despite being pushed out the door far too soon, the complex, philosophical yarn spun by Obsidian lifted it above the usual Star Wars fare, exploring the setting and the nebulous…
Ah, MultiVersus. By all accounts, it was a genuinely solid platform fighter with an all-star cast, torn away from us too soon. It was only an “open beta!” What do you mean there were seasons with battle passes? That’s normal for an open beta. To test battle passes you could buy with real money. This…
It’s sometimes hard to believe it’s been 10 years since we were born—alone, naked, with nothing but a rock for company— on a server whose hierarchies and power dynamics were a mystery to us until some player with a gun showed up and started ordering us about (that’s if they didn’t just shoot us first)….
Given that there’s only about two weeks of 2023 left, it probably shouldn’t be a surprise that Read Only Memories: Neurodiver has been pushed back into 2024, but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t a little sad about it.

It started with a love triangle… Then, a BIG BANG. Now, as the universe expands, so does Feral Cat Den’s catalog! We’re excited to announce Nirvana Noir; the sequel to the acclaimed indie Genesis Noir. With a stunning art style, and a jazzy, addictive soundtrack, Genesis Noir stole our hearts when it launched back in…
Are you tired? I’m tired. It seems like every year we get a new main villain. Last year it was NFTs: apes, slurp juice, whatever the hell Square Enix is doing and what-have-you. This year? Artificial intelligence is here to threaten us all with ultra-processed sludge in place of human creativity. And it all seems…
The GTA Online Chop Shop cars list is pretty impressive, which is good because there’s no such thing as having too many vehicles in Los Santos. No GTA update would be complete without a selection of shiny new motors to add to your collection, and The Chop Shop is no different. Of course, you’d be…
Revisiting Chapters of the Chosen. As a beloved RPG series in Japan, Dragon Quest took a pretty long time to make waves in the West. In Japan, games in the mainline series get released on the weekends to stop people skipping work and school, and the franchise has sold millions just in its native home….
While Electronic Arts’ Earl Weaver Baseball series is heralded as the game that brought realism to the forefront of video games based on America’s pastime, Atari subdivision Tengen’s RBI Baseball was easily the first truly amazing home console recreation of the sport. The first game to feature a license with the Major League Players’ Association…
