35 Years of Sonic the Hedgehog! The story of Sonic the Hedgehog is the story of the 1990s. Born of a brilliant union between cutting-edge console technology and of-the-era super radical attitude, Sonic’s iconic design and in-your-face personality quickly solidified him as a bonafide pop culture icon, a flagbearer of everything hip, cool, and of course, fast. Now, 35 years later, iam8bit & SEGA are…
Pigma balls. I was a little conflicted at the announcement of Star Fox‘s long-awaited return. One of Nintendo’s finest titles with fresh visuals and updated controls? Yes please.

Despite this, Theuns Smit, Senior Licensing Producer over at IO Interactive, recently told Pocket Tactics that the Switch 2 release…
Since Grand Theft Auto first arrived on the original PlayStation in 1997, the series has defined generations of play. We know players are excited for Grand Theft Auto VI, which heads to the state of Leonida — home to the neon-soaked streets of Vice City and beyond, in the biggest, most expansive evolution of the series yet. …
Rent A Hero Z is a new game from the Web3 game publisher LINE NEXT. Sega’s Japanese account has announced on Twitter that a new project based on its RPG series Rent-A-Hero is currently in development and scheduled for release next year.

It’s easy for us, sitting in our chairs of critique and our long, weary experience with the live service wringer, to decry the model as something inherently toxic for the industry. And yet we participate in a society—I mean, er—still play them. And while monetisation’s gone far off the reservation in recent years, leaving us…
The GTA 6 pre-orders are going live soon, letting you pre-purchase your chosen edition of the game for when it launches in November.
