I can’t wait to play a Kodan in GW3 concept art
I cannot wait to play as a Kodan in Guild Wars 3 and I have learned nothing from trying to do jumping puzzles as a Charr in GW2. Being a polar bear is my ultimate destiny. (Image credit: ArenaNet)

More games should look like Abyss x Zero
I’m sure I’ll get sick of PS1-core game aesthetics at some point—but it sure as hell hasn’t happened yet. Abyss x Zero was already on my Steam wishlist, but seeing a tweet about it earlier still made me stop in my tracks for a couple minutes just to admire its texture work. I reserve the…
Wookiepedia still feels like home
The first webpage I ever spent any extensive amount of time looking at was the Wookieepedia entry for Revan, and it makes me feel some type of way that it’s still up there. Anyway, I’m also very fond of the Wookieepedia pages for “Human,” “Religion,” “Water,” and “Devaronian’s food cake.” Devaronians are the little cantina…
“I Was Told That We Should Cancel The Entire Franchise” – Sonic Boss Takashi Iizuka On His “Fight” With Sega Over The Blue Blur’s Future
“I had to fight within the organization to keep the franchise as long as possible”. It’s fair to say that Sonic has had his ups and downs over the decades. That the character has starred in some legendary games isn’t up for debate, but he’s also had his low points – so much so that…
Trying to pick the perfect autumn game paralysis
It’s the end of September, so in observance of tradition I’m sitting here staring at my Steam library in search of the game with the perfect autumn vibes and will inevitably spend my entire evening with choice paralysis. Tis the season!
WoW: Forever will live and die by the valley
Judging from player interest in the WoW: Forever beta, it seems like Blizzard’s got a good start at channeling nostalgia into its retirement home for aging MMO millennials. But there’s only one thing that’ll determine if it’s a successful rebottling of the old lightning, and that’ll be whether or not I can find myself shuffled…
Just another Tuesday
I was playing Death Stranding 2: On the Beach last night and accidentally captured what might be the most miserable situation I’ve ever put Sam Porter Bridges in: Fording a rough river, during a sandstorm, with 150kg of cargo on his back, while lightning strikes the water he’s currently in. Also, he has to pee….
The Neo Geo AES+ Was Almost Cancelled Thanks To The RAMpoclayse
“‘What do you mean you can’t get these chips? Oh, AI’”. Plaion and SNK caused a stir earlier this year when they announced the Neo Geo AES+, a modern remake of the classic 1990 platform that gave us Metal Slug, Fatal Fury, Samurai Shodown, and King of Fighters. Pre-order demand massively surpassed expectations, and it…
Desktops are meant to be messy
I really dislike most of the “battlestation” stuff I see online—if you’re not familiar with the term, I it’s associated with people posting pictures of their PC gaming rigs. But most if it is just too clean! Influencer chic, streamer house style with flawless cable management and no indication that somebody actually plays games or…
I still can’t believe we call them ‘MOBAs’
One of media’s god-given powers is to coin phrases, one of our last remaining superpowers. Inspired by this post from Kieron Gillen, I wanted to take a moment to recall our noble-but-failed attempt to rename MOBAs (a miserable term that describes every game and no game) more than a decade ago. I am so out…
