All for one. For many folks, a basic case — much like Nintendo’s own official offering — to house the Switch 2 in its handheld configuration will likely be enough for general day-to-day use. But for instances in which you might need to haul everything from the dock to the Pro Controller out and about,…
God help us, it has been 25 years since Baldur’s Gate 2 released, and even though a third game under the same name has since come out and got everyone very excited with its sexy-haughty vampire boys and whatnot, we’re still talking about it. Why? Well, that’s easy. Baldur’s Gate 2 is a good game….
I first encountered Wobbly Life a few months ago when searching for new games to play with my kid. It’s a physics-powered open-world sim that roughly resembles a child-friendly Grand Theft Auto, a big colourful playground with activities that include races, delivering pizzas, and taking on taxi fares. My quickfire take is that it isn’t…
Here’s the official rundown. Pac-Man is back next week in Pac-Man World 2 Re-Pac, and ahead of the big launch, the game’s Japanese website has shared an official comparison chart. It shows how the game will perform and look on the Switch and Switch 2. So here’s what you can expect for both platforms in…
When Commodore Business Machines decided to move from typewriters and calculators to microprocessors, it was a decision that would change home computing forever. After Commodore’s lukewarm introduction of the PET/CBM II series of computers, they quickly progressed to what would be their first real home computer hit, the VIC 20. While it sold over 2…
The Sims 4 has been going through a bit of a mid-life crisis lately. A wayward patch issued in July triggered a rampant pregnancy epidemic, while the most recent Enchanted by Nature DLC received a less-than enthusiastic response from players. Now, it seems the community is generally fed up with the increasingly buggy state of…
Read the full, unabridged, and beautifully laid out version of this behind-the-scenes feature in PC Gamer magazine issue 415, out October 9th! In 1998, Baldur’s Gate redefined what a computer RPG – and videogame interpretation of the D&D ruleset – could be. Just two years later, Baldur’s Gate 2 expanded on it so much that…
Issue #28 – September 2025. And here we are again, entering the last third of the year, kicking furiously to keep our head above the water as the deluge of big new video games washes in. What’s that floating like a flotsam-y life raft on the surface? Why, it’s the Nintendo Life Mailbox. Grab on!…
On balance, it’s probably a good thing we have little cause to use the word ‘fief’ anymore. But I do wish I had a few more excuses to deploy it, if only because it’s such an enjoyable word to say. Luckily, I’m able to postpone starting a degree in medieval history just so I can…
I didn’t think there were many ways to make Shadows of Doubt a better detective game—aside from giving the whole thing a vigorous polish. ColePowered Games’ sleuthing simulator procedurally generates an entire city’s worth of crimes to solve, somehow creating genuine deduction puzzles out of a bucketful of random numbers. Granted, it also tends to…
