Myst is the game best known for driving adoption of the CD-ROM drive, but as a Halloween-obsessed kid in the ’90s, The 7th Guest was where it was at for me. The 1993 puzzle-adventure game was, like Myst, one of the first games that required a CD-ROM drive—but unlike Myst, sometimes your mouse cursor was…
At the end of 2025, a guy who had been playing notorious space MMO, spreadsheet-in-disguise, and corporate espionage sim EVE Online for just six months basically got a $7,000 ship out of nowhere.

Six years ago, in October 2020, Blizzard announced the end of new content updates for StarCraft 2, its storied real-time strategy game, although it promised to continue supporting the game with tweaks and balance patches “as needed.” It’s followed through on that commitment over the years since, and today (technically yesterday, but I didn’t notice…
Just one click away. The Launch Stars in Super Mario Galaxy are pure cinema, from that spinning wind-up with the quick arpeggio to that compressed pause before a cannon-blast hurl into an arc unknown.
