I tend to share my colleague Ted Litchfield’s philosophy when it comes to remakes. Do what you want (though I prefer reinvention to a one-to-one remake), just don’t kill access to the original. It doesn’t seem like too much to ask for: the kids get to play a version of a classic, I get to…
Borderlands 4 has had some time to brew in the public consciousness, and the general consensus—one I agree with—is that the story is just… fine. If anything, it’s a little too middle-of-the-road, but given my key enjoyment of the game has a lot to do with the shooting and very little to do with the…
A thing about me is: whenever I’ve tapped over into third-person mode in a Bethesda game, it’s been a horrible mistake.

Sometimes you come across a game that feels like it was made to cater specifically to your interests, and for me, that’s Tanuki: Pon’s Summer. Just seeing the trailer of this mail-delivering, BMX-riding life sim was enough to convince me to add it to my wishlist. To be honest, the tanuki alone was probably enough….
In WoW: Mists of Pandaria Remix, players discovered ways to turbocharge their progression through its theoretically infinitely-scaling power system by killing lots and lots of gulp frogs, then had their ill-gotten gains nerfed. Now, in WoW: Legion Remix, players have discovered ways to turbocharge their progression through its—you get the point. In case you’re unfamiliar…
Fish It codes increase your luck and chances of reeling in rarer fish without having to spend any money on potions or wheel spins. Rather than spending a lot of time fishing, then selling what you find to buy better equipment to help catch bigger creatures, these codes will immediately unlock items like potions that…
