I never overcame my fear of sandworms in Dune: Awakening, no matter how many times I crossed the desert. Getting swallowed by a sandworm once and losing everything permanently—my armor, my weapons, my loot, and my vehicle—was enough to make me tread the dunes of Dune as carefully as possible from then on. But that…
Pokémon, Dragon Quest and much more. October is here, and it’s another exciting month for Nintendo with the arrival of Pokémon Legends: Z-A on the Switch and Switch 2. That’s not all, though. Heck, we’ve already had Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2, and this week Yooka-Laylee returns. Further into this month, Switch…
Kitfox Games was founded in 2013 by a group of four acquaintances. They had almost no shared history, varying levels of experience, different tastes in games, and—despite their hopes of being a PC-first studio—an obligation to their incubator investor to release a mobile game. 12 years later, Kitfox has released four of its own games,…
While games used to be purely entertainment, they are now viewed in an entirely different light. It’s a vast market with millions of users. Competition is fierce, and staying afloat is a pressing issue. To stand out from the crowd, you need to take smart steps and utilize the right tools. This is where App…

Steam went offline earlier today in an odd but thankfully brief hitch that may have been a small part of a much bigger thing: Xbox, PlayStation, Riot Games, and Epic all suffered a very sudden spike in outage reports at around the same time last night, and that’s led to speculation that it might be…
Battlefield 6 launches this Friday, the first entry in four years for a once-bombastic series that never got bad, exactly, but maybe lost a bit of its identity in chasing the all-conquering Call of Duty. The die-hards will tell you that Battlefield 2042 is a great game now, after years of post-launch support, but Battlefield…
It’s almost hard to believe that a little over a year ago Diablo 4 looked like a completely different game. Blizzard pried it open and rearranged how loot works, giving the action RPG a solid foundation to build off of over the following seasons. The constantly evolving nature of live service games, however, means that…
The big Game Pass price hike announced last week took an unexpected twist today as Microsoft has confirmed that subscribers “in certain countries” won’t actually have to pay the higher rate, at least for now. The issue first came to light on Reddit, where some users claimed to have received emails stating that their existing…
