The joys and cons. Coming into this console generation with the spectre of Switch 1’s Joy-Con drift debacle in our minds, reviewers approached the Switch 2’s Joy-Con with extreme caution. The controllers seemed much improved, but problems take time to manifest, and even when things do go wrong, knowing whether you’ve got a one-off dud…

Come back every weekend to read a new interview, digging into the important questions, like “How tidy is your desktop?” and “What game will you never uninstall?” Ashly Burch’s first encounter with PC gaming…
Nighthawks, the long-in-development vampire RPG due to be released later this month, is the latest game to run afoul of Steam’s increasingly stringent rules regarding adult content.

“He was more concerned with the end result than the journey”. Richard Garriott holds a unique place in the world of role-playing video games. Through his astoundingly influential Ultima series, he introduced countless people to gameplay that not only granted incredible player agency but also carried considerable moral weight in-game.

See you Layton. Hmm, this Box Art Brawl reminds me of a puzzle. Last time, we put Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse in the spotlight, as we matched up its two regional covers. It was anything but a close-fought contest, mind you, as the European and Japanese variant walked away with a staggering 81% of the vote,…
