Put an Ursaring on it. Pokémon is in all corners of our lives. You can wake up to Pokémon Sleep, brush your teeth to Pokémon Smile, throw on your Pokémon apparel and head out on a walk with Pokémon GO. Now, you can make those days extra romantic by saying “I Choose You” to your…

Friendslop’s officially made its way to Fortnite, as physics-based climbing ‘sim’ Peak now has a set of skins in Epic’s battle royale. That should be music to my ears, as Peak’s cheery scouts are impossible to hate—just look at their little faces! While they’re slightly less cute in Fortnite’s style, in large part down to…

Virtual reality is a lightning rod for all the things that make simulation games like ours click with the genre’s audience: Slower-paced, highly immersive experiences with a great range of freedom. However, the hunting genre was almost completely missing from VR when we started…
Surviving Marathon’s latest map, Cryo Archive, is one hell of a challenge. Completing all the puzzles and the pinnacle event, a boss fight against Compiler, well, that’s on a whole other level entirely that we mere mortals can only aspire to reach. You need to gather six rare keys from the other maps to open…
