In “news to make your teeth itch”, a Gamestop store in Staten Island has reportedly been stapling receipts to boxes containing brand-spanking-new Nintendo Switch 2 consoles. Ordinarily this wouldn’t be much of an issue, but thanks to a lack of protection between the outer layer and the LCD screen inside, midnight launch attendees at this…
It is the year 2025 and everything is a roguelite now. Even the games of yesteryear are getting randomizers and procedural generation shoehorned in, and Half-Life 2 isn’t escaping either. Good thing that SourceWorld is pretty dang fun, if its newly released Next Fest demo is any indication. It’s a standalone total conversion for Half-Life…
Dune: Awakening’s early access players have gone from leaving spicy, heartburn-induced reviews, to thirsting for more within 24 hours. Can I offer you some antacids in this trying time? Despite almost breaching 100,000 players on its first day, Dune: Awakening didn’t get the best first-day reception: players quickly tanked its review score to Mostly Negative,…
Any fan of Monopoly will probably already have Monopoly GO downloaded on their smartphone, but not everyone loves relying on such a small screen when playing a game.

It shouldn’t be all that surprising, but the dunes of Arrakis are massive, sandworm-infested, and can become a bit of a slog when you’re trekking from one side to the other for quests and resources. But you don’t have to walk it out. Dune: Awakening actually has fast travel, it’s just hidden behind an NPC…
Last month, after a long and protracted legal battle, Apple restored Fortnite to the US app store. Fortnite had been removed in late 2020 after launching its own in-app payment system that bypassed the App Store’s payment system (and the 30% commission), a violation of Apple’s terms, and Epic took Apple to court. Epic’s argument…
The Genshin Impact 5.7 codes are here, giving you a little Primogem bonus you can add to your hoard when pulling for new characters and reruns. If you’re new to miHoYo’s livestreams, it runs one for each of its games every six weeks, showing off what’s coming in terms of new quests, events, regions, and…
Did you know Poland is the global epicenter for Atari computer nostalgia? Apparently, back in ’80s and early ’90s as the Soviet empire was crumbling, Atari computers were actually available at hard-currency stores in Poland and remained very popular even as decadent western consumers moved on to more modern machines. Anywho, this legacy probably explains…
It’s been a rough week for Elden Ring Nightreign. Not from a player count perspective: it’s absolutely flying off the shelves with over 3.5 million copies sold in just five days. But when it comes to performance, Nightreign has not held up to expectations. Aside from solo runs being nightmarish, one of the most frustrating…
It’s strange to think that once upon a time, Duke Nukem—Johnny Bravo’s sleazier cousin and poster child for videogame violence—was a cornerstone of gaming culture. No matter how inappropriate, he could be found on any and all platforms, from the original monochrome Game Boy to N64 and beyond. Time-travel misadventure Duke Nukem: D-Day (alternatively ‘Man…
