It’s a good day to be a Mii fan. The Switch Direct this week gave Nintendo’s popular Mii avatar a new lease on life with not only a cameo in the ‘virtual game card’ trailer but also the announcement of Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream – the first new entry in the Tomodachi Life series…
As a teenager, I really enjoyed the game Shoot Many Robots. It wasn’t amazing, but it was a lot of dumb fun, and the memories I have playing it matter to me. Something Shoot Many Robots and I have in common is that we are both mortal, but while I am mere flesh and bone…
Elon Musk has announced that his AI company, xAI—which we’re told is also working on a videogame—has acquired his social media company, X, in an all-stock transaction.

Hackusations: We’ve all made one, been the target of one, or at least suspected that our online opponents aren’t legit. Few communities are more likely to call foul on your play than Call of Duty, whose prevalence among cheat sellers convinced Activision to form Ricochet, an entire division dedicated to anti-cheat, a few years ago….
