It all used to be better, you know. The sun shone, cool winds caressed amber cornfields, everyone got all the Christmas presents they asked for, and real-time strategy was the dish of the day—the genre Goliath to which all others were mere Davids. Except they were losing. They were like David but they lost. I’m…
Every time a game you loved when you were younger gets a remake, you’re bound to feel a bit concerned about whether or not it’ll be any good, and Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 definitely struck that worry in me when it was announced. I grew up spending a decent amount of time…

NetEase has taken this a step further now with ultimate customisation, which lets you tweak ultimate ability VFX and UI. Just like the addition of customisable costumes,…

These are little charms that you can attach to your character that also add a cute little animation above your KO prompt, though it’s not quite as extensive as I’d hoped—or what you’d expect…
“This is the last go to keep it open”. A British amusement arcade is reopening this weekend in a last-ditch attempt to secure its future.
