Lucky dice. Well, this is becoming something of a trend, isn’t it? After retaking the throne last week, Super Mario Party Jamboree has stuck around at the top of the Japanese charts in Famitsu‘s latest look.

I’m as guilty as anyone of harbouring games on my hard drive for years on end, telling myself that I’ll pick them up again ‘any day now’, but inevitably leaving them to gather digital dust (LA Noire: 3 years and 78 days). But there are a few games that earn their long-term residency on my…

Path of Exile 2 has been out on Steam Early Access for nary a week, but already it’s been a wild ride of record-breaking player counts, servers buckling under the load, and overpowered builds that can one-shot bosses (though when they’re not being ganked by broken builds, the bosses are actually way more challenging than…
