I’m a little bit behind on this one—it launched last week—but Phonopolis, the new game from Amanita Design, is out, and as a longtime fan of the studio I am very pleased to say that so far, it’s pretty great. I say “so far” because I haven’t yet finished Phonopolis, and it’s always possible that…
Life simmers have been chronically bored for years—so much so that asking “how do you keep Sims 4 interesting for yourself?” is a bit of a cliché. My theory is that life sims need to be harder, or at the very least get back in touch with the strategy roots that made The Sims so…
Pay peanuts. We don’t remember the Snoopy storyline where Charlie Brown and co. end up in a legal copyright battle, but that’s exactly what’s happening at the moment. Lee Mendelson Film Productions (the owner of “certain intellectual property” related to the Peanuts IP) has issued a legal complaint against publisher GameMill, accusing the latter of…

The Dishonored games were a treat for old-time stealth sickos in part because they cleaved so closely to Thief, the greatest example of the genre. in fact, when it came time to give voice to Corvo Attano in Dishonored 2, Arkane chose Stephen Russell for the job, the man behind the iconic voice of Thief…
We live in complex geopolitical times. I think. I’ll be honest, I’ve not been paying attention. But it’s recently become known to me that a little strip of water called the Strait of Hormuz has—like a wavepool they had to shut down due to a urine crisis—shut up shop. This has caused a great deal…
Got plans for tomorrow? Scrap ’em. May 26 is the official airdate of the BitSummit Punch Mixtape Presented by GamesRadar+ (they had to bolt on an extra five minutes to give the hosts time to say the name*), and you’re gonna want to tune in. BitSummit is Japan’s longest-lived indie festival—scholars believe it began some…
