It hurt itself in its confusion. GAME staff have accused the UK retailer of “scalping” Pokémon cards after the company began hitching massive shipping costs to the online sale of ‘Prismatic Evolutions’ mini tins (thanks, Eurogamer). These mini tins are no novelty for a TCG expansion. They contain two booster packs and a collectible coin…
Yesterday, Marvel Rivals devs announced plans for an upcoming rank reset, and players wasted no time in explaining every reason why this would absolutely suck for everyone involved. “Ranks will be reset when the second half of Season 1 starts on February 21, 2025,” a Marvel Rivals blog post says. “Based on your standing at…
Amidst this February’s storm of big PC game releases, there’s one annual tradition I want to make sure doesn’t get overlooked: ZineQuest. If you’re not familiar, it’s a whole month of independent tabletop RPG creators crowdfunding quick ‘n’ dirty projects on Kickstarter—usually adventures or supplements, but also small self-contained games. There’s always a scrappy, DIY…
When I was a young journalist, I had the opportunity to interview Yuji Horii at Square Enix HQ in Tokyo. This would’ve been around 15 years ago, and my abiding memories are the great man chain-smoking throughout the session, and getting visibly irritated when the Square Enix translator was turning his long answers into short…
As the Apple II nears its fiftieth anniversary, it shows no sign of slowing down. The 8-bit personal computer, developed and designed by Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs, was manufactured in various models from 1977 to 1993, making it one of Apple Inc.’s longestrunning products. Today, not only do hobbyists around the world continue to…
Now crowdfunding on Kickstarter. Sega’s action puzzler ChuChu Rocket! has inspired a few indie projects over the years, including releases like Lowtek Games’ Chew Chew Mimic for the NES and Playdate, and the PC and Nintendo Switch title BlobCat. Recently, however, a brand new title crossed our radar that aims the frantic stylings of the…
You’ll have to wait until release. With the Lunar Remastered Collection just over two months away, RPG fans will be able to get their hands on two beloved turn-based adventures from the Sega Saturn and PlayStation era. Today, ahead of the game’s release, publisher GungHo Online Entertainment has shared some details about the game regarding…
We’ve had no shortage of great 3D platformers these past few years, but I reckon that Ruffy and the Riverside might be one of this year’s best already—if its new demo on Steam is any indication. It certainly has me convinced that its core gimmick—the ability to copy and paste the textures and physical properties…
The Gamakay TK101 seems like one of those products that’s almost too good to be true. A $70/£58 keyboard that’s mechanical, supports both Bluetooth and 2.4 GHz wireless, RGB-backlit, gasket mounted and hot-swappable must come with some compromises, right? Otherwise, that’s some seriously aggressive pricing from Gamakay. Well, let’s take a look at what we’ve…
It’s time to see which PS5, PS4, PS VR2, and free-to-play games topped the download charts last month. Marvel Rivals tops the free-to-play category. Blockbusters continue to line the PS5 charts, with Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Grand Theft Auto V remaining in the top five of January’s US and EU lists. The…
