I am fashionably late to the TCG Card Shop Simulator party, having only begun building my Tetramon empire over the weekend. If you ask me though, I’ve chosen the perfect time to dive in, since the game’s just added perhaps its most crucial feature yet: The ability to slap fun posters all over my store….
“This was not something I was forced to do by the company”. Mega Man 2 is widely regarded as the absolute pinnacle of Capcom’s side-scrolling series (though many, this writer included, hold Mega Man 3 as the best entry), boasting excellent level design, memorable Robot Masters, and some of the most incredible music you’ll ever…
“I wanted to communicate only that part — this game is too hard”. In a recent video interview, the former PlayStation president Shuhei Yoshida opened up about the process of selling Crash Bandicoot to the Japanese market.

If you miss Treasure’s signature style, then you…
During the Game Developer’s Conference 2025, Monica Harrington—one of Valve’s founders and its first chief marketing officer, who once outright threatened Sierra over the rights to Half-Life—gave an illuminating talk on the company’s infancy. Before, of course, it became the goliath-felling company it is today. While this is interesting in itself—another fascinating snippet she shared…
Like, literally. Work3 Studio, a new development team comprised of former Elite Beat Agents and Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan devs, has announced that it is working on a brand-new NES game, which is set to bring some monkey-based puzzling to real hardware (thanks for the heads up, VGC). Banana Bash! is a single-screen arcade-style puzzler being…
One of the surprise additions in Assassin’s Creed Shadows is the allies system, giving you six companions who can come to your aid.
