The horde survival genre grows weekly and a recent entrant is Pesticide Not Required, which tosses in familiar tropes from the ever-popular farm and life sim genres: Don’t craft or pick up your weapons, grow them instead. Defeat enemies for money, then buy seeds, plant crops, and harvest them for experience—or go mining and fishing,…
I’ve watched the first two episodes of the anime version of Delicious in Dungeon, which is based on Ryoko Kui’s manga, and been well-pleased with how it’s been adapted. The core is the same—a party of down-and-out adventurers have to survive by cooking monsters they find in a dungeon—and it’s great seeing the meals they…
The pendulum of history has resoundingly swung back to “it’s so over” from any semblance of “we’re so back” for ailing retailer GameStop following its experiments with cryptocurrency and brief moment in the sun as some kind of Reddit meme thing. As reported by Decrypt, the company has announced that its NFT marketplace will shutter…

Ray traced lighting, man. I often feel like I can do without its beastly hits to performance in my games, but then I’ll see a transformative use of it that makes me want to slam that “RTX on” button. Modder Slasks Psybunker’s demo for ray tracing in the original Max Payne (first spotted by DSOGaming)…
Friends in factory-building, a day has come which I thought I would never see. Wube Software has announced that, in the upcoming Factorio 2.0 release, objects on conveyor belts will be allowed to stack upon each other, and a new bulk inserter type will pick up and drop entire piles of objects at once. It’s…
Cutting edge. We’ve updated this guide to reflect the upcoming release of the Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door remaster and also added Born of Bread to the list. Enjoy! If you’re a Paper Mario fan, then there’s one key thing that you probably share with all other Paper Mario fans: Disappointment. However, Paper Mario is…
Wise from your gwave! It’s amazing to consider that Altered Beast has never had a good sequel. It was one of Sega’s biggest coin-op titles of the late ’80s, boasting huge sprites and iconic sampled speech, and it would later help the company to launch its 16-bit Genesis / Mega Drive, even becoming a pack-in…
A commercial flop, but still worth a look today? Released in 1994, the Sega 32X is, for some Sega fans, the straw that broke the camel’s back. After the success of the Mega Drive / Genesis, the company released the Sega CD, an add-on device that, despite having some decent games, never took off in…
