When asked to explain why Valve never made Half-Life 2: Episode 3 for the recent 20th anniversary documentary, Gabe Newell said that he “couldn’t figure out why doing Episode 3 was pushing anything forward.” For the Valve founder, the Half-Life games can’t just push Gordon Freeman’s story forward. They have to push videogames forward in…
…as well as Steam and Mega Drive. The official website for Yuzo Koshiro’s upcoming Mega Drive shmup Earthion has gone live, finally confirming the consoles the title will be coming to when it launches this year.

It wouldn’t be a new Diablo 4 season without someone figuring out how to deal so much damage the game can’t compute it anymore.

Okay, so hear me out: Garn47, developed by the largely mysterious solo developer/artist/musician Floombo (she wears many hats), is a very strange open world exploration sandbox that started out hidden in a Friday Night Funkin’ fangame, but you…
Our picks for the top Switch 1 eShop games of April. Ready for better, brighter weather (at least in the northern hemisphere) and eShop Selects? Us too! Admittedly, our eyes are firmly set on the near future. The Nintendo Switch 2 is just over a month away, and that means a whole slew of big,…
Just a quick update re-confirming some earlier rumors that I wrote about for everyone, since word is that people are saying they aren’t true. A remake of Stern Pinball’s The Walking Dead IS happening this fall. I’m accepting bets on it for anyone who is interested. Also, Stern is planning on making use of those…
Whether it’s reworked old classics you’re after or fresh picks inspired by ’90s gems, you don’t have to look far for a good JRPG these days.
