For years, kids who wanted to play with little cars had two major brands to choose from: either Mattel’s Hot Wheels or Tyco’s Matchbox (which, ironically, was purchased by Mattel in 1997). There were other smaller creators, like Johnny Lightning and Maisto, but those were the two everyone knew. So, when Galoob decided to enter…

Jay and Silent Bob first appeared in the 1994 grunge film Clerks as eccentric weed dealers.

In June, Sjoerd De Jong—an Unreal Engine modder and map creator turned full-time specialist at Epic Games—announced that he was leaving the company after 12 years as its “lead evangelist” for Unreal. In a cryptic departure message, he said the games industry was at a “pivotal point,” and he’s aiming to “work out how to…
A few months ago, indie developer RetroSpecter noticed something unusual about Crashphalt, their first completed game that launched on Steam in 2018: Since their last check-in on the neglected platformer, Crashphalt had suddenly gained over 500 reviews.
