Samus returns this December. Nintendo has been promoting the Switch 2 in stores with kiosks, where you can go and play the latest and upcoming titles. We’ve already seen games such as Donkey Kong Bananza added to these store units, and now in a very exciting update, it seems Metroid Prime 4: Beyond – Nintendo…
Great moments in PC gaming are bite-sized celebrations of some of our favorite gaming memories. Plants vs. Zombies (Image credit: PopCap) Developer: PopcapYear: 2009 Plants vs. Zombies is a cute game unless you really take a close look at what’s happening. My melon-pult flings a watermelon across the screen where it collides with a zombie,…
The Steam Machine might remind you of a console—it’s a cute little box instead of a monolith of noisy fans, it’s well-suited to play on a TV, and you don’t have to build the damn thing yourself. It’s like the Steam Deck in that way, but it might cost quite a bit more than Valve’s…
Neon Inferno looks like a lot of new games that gleefully throw back to the golden age of the run and gun side scroller—delights like Blazing Chrome and Huntdown. Cyberpunk city, dirty cops, laser sword-wielding Yakuza, and just enough slugs to send ’em all to hell; it’s all pretty by the numbers on the surface,…

I am, what scientists and scholars might call, a big fat crybaby. I’ll cry…
Is your World Wild two decades on? Animal Crossing was a bit of a cult hit when it launched on GameCube back in 2002 in the West. While it didn’t start life on the purple box, that’s where it made its name internationally. At least for a few million people who picked the game up….
For as long as I can remember, my older sister has had two significant fears: zombies, and Pyramid Head from Silent Hill 2. When I was younger, you couldn’t even mention Pyramid Head to her, and because of how petrified she was of the character, I couldn’t exactly look him up or even play Silent…
November has been an absolutely huge month for games, between AAA staples like Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, ongoing successes like Arc Raiders and Dispatch (both technically released in October, but have each dominated the conversation this month) and indie triumphs like Demonschool. But the game that has hooked me in more than any…
