Oh, Jimmy… We all know just how influential EarthBound is at this point. Despite initially underselling and putting people off with weird marketing campaigns, the game (and, in turn, series) is one of the most beloved games on the SNES. So it’s no wonder that EarthBound-inspired games are a dime a dozen. Here’s one that…
Did you receive an invitation to a Witcher 4 closed beta test? No you didn’t, according to developer CD Projekt, which says the purported invites offering an early look at the new game are in fact just a scam. “Recently, we’ve been getting reports from some community members that they’ve been invited to a beta…

From the distant past of Capcom’s sidescrolling Strider and The Ninja Warriors’ widescreen robo-ninja violence through the still-missed sneakiness of PlayStation classic Tenchu to the lyrical excesses of Metal Gear Rising, no one’s immune to the allure…
Capcom’s been doing rather well for itself, lately—what with Monster Hunter Wilds coming out, hot on the heels of a batch of popular remakes. Dragon’s Dogma 2 may have had its controversies, but I still had a ton of fun with it, so I’m willing to give them a gold star, too. What I might…

“We had a lot of creative freedom”. After rinsing through Blasphemous 2 in 2023, we immediately turned our attention to the future and began to dream about what a potential third game in the series might look like. How little we knew.
