‘Ratchet & Clank: Clone Home’ is now available online. After 19 years, those who love Insomniac’s Ratchet & Clank are finally able to play a “lost”, cancelled entry in the series, which has previously been described online as “a holy grail for 14 people”, as recently spotted by the folks at Gamesradar. Back in 2006,…
The Genshin Impact 6.1 codes have arrived, and alongside them, a sneak peek at what’s awaiting in the next instalment of Nod-Krai’s new story. Version 6.1 isn’t *technically* 6.1 at all; it’s actually Luna 2, the second chapter of the Traveler’s journey in Nod-Krai. This autonomous region is in Snezhnaya (the next major region), but…
School is in session. In all the world, few things are as powerful as language. We use it to communicate all our hopes and fears and inner thoughts to each other. Words have a power all their own, which is why Shujinkou struck me as such an interesting concept; a JRPG that aims to teach…

Many might have seen this game as a CoD killer, but sadly, its campaign is really not that special and basically amounts to a very average AAA FPS campaign, i.e. the kind of thing you play…
“It feels like the right time to start giving the SuperGrafx some love”. Back when arcade games were the cutting edge of gaming technology, the quality of subsequent home ports could make or break a console in the eyes of hardcore gamers.
