Super by name, super by nature. In the introduction to Super Nintendo: How One Japanese Company Helped the World Have Fun, Keza MacDonald makes a simple promise: over the course of the next 12 chapters, you’ll read something you didn’t already know. It’s the kind of gauntlet-laying that would have any self-respecting Nintendo fan click…

Febru-RE. We’re well into 2026 now, having made it through a long January into the shortest month of the year – short in days, that is, but hardly short on games.

It shows just how vast PC gaming has become that I had not heard of Barony until now, despite it being over a decade old and attracting thousands of players every day.
