When Bungie announced the final update for Destiny 2, I felt relieved. It surprised me as well. As someone who’s spent the past six years (and over 3,000 hours) battling humanity’s enemies across the solar system, you’d think that news of my favorite MMO’s end would fill me with sadness. But no, just a bittersweet…
The Witcher 3 isn’t exactly short of stuff to do, but I nonetheless lament that one of its most ambitious questlines never made it into the final game. Not only because it would have delved much more deeply into The Catriona Plague—a disease ravaging Velen that mostly serves as a background event in the final…
As announced at this year’s Summer Games Fest, Palworld 1.0 arrives in less than a month. The launch version looks like it’ll introduce a lot of new stuff to Pocketpair’s Pokémon-inspired survival-crafting game, and with all those additions comes a question: will Palworld 1.0 require players to start again from scratch, or will you be…
I’m an evil alien. One of the coolest things about the Vectrex community is how many homebrew games have been made. There were 28 retail titles released during its lifetime; as of now, a conservative estimate would put aftermarket titles at around 150; it might even be over 200. We honestly do not know, because…
I didn’t like Dying Light 2 much when it launched back in 2022. But I can’t deny that Techland has really committed to supporting and turning around its controversial sequel.

The Death Stranding movie was announced way back in 2022—a length of time that may well have worked out for it given how videogame movie adaptations are suddenly on a hot streak. The project is still in its early stages and the specifics are being hashed out. But one detail has recently been confirmed by…
We got the kick. As the globe gets stuck into yet another thrilling World Cup, I’m pulling out a relevant title for this week’s Random Game Saturday – the pint-sized masterpiece that is Neo Geo Cup ’98. Originally released for the monochrome Neo Geo Pocket back in 1999, this is a very loose adaptation of…
Direct inspiration? What a week, eh? With every other showcase under the sun taking place last week, we knew it was only a matter of time before Nintendo followed suit. And follow it did. This week’s Nintendo Direct revealed first looks at the likes of Ocarina of Time, Xenoblade Genesis, and Nintendo Switch Sports Resort,…
Make some space. One of the major announcements during the Direct broadcast earlier this week was the news Square Enix is finally releasing proper versions of Kingdom Hearts on Nintendo’s platforms. The Switch cloud versions have already been discontinued from sale, with the digital release now scheduled for 8th October 2026. If you are planning…
