Nostalgia’s a weird, often powerful force. Though not necessarily one for good. Nostalgia can easily filter the past through rose-tinted refactored memories, creating an undeserved sense of positivity around something purely by virtue of the distance of time. And Razer is desperately looking to harness that for the 20th Anniversary Edition of its formative Boomslang…
It’s super eff… oh, you get it. The release of Pokémon Pokopia has seemingly led to a surge in Nintendo’s share price following its early critical and commercial success. According to Bloomberg (thanks, VGC), the game being sold out in numerous outlets across the US and UK has caused a bit of a positive uplift…

That’s because they’re about fixes…
Marathon’s difficulty has been a hot-button topic since the Server Slam, where many players felt the UESC AI were too tanky, and meds and ammo were too limited to fight back. This inadvertently caused PvE to get in the way of PvP too much, which is where Marathon shines brightest. Well, Bungie’s listened by tweaking…
