It was probably Christopher Nolan’s movie The Prestige that put the idea into my mind that old timey magicians were a bit seedy, a touch obsessive, and absolutely bonkers competitive with one another, perfectly willing to maim themselves and even die horribly to stay one step ahead when it came to performing illusions. Magicians: The…
A recent Steam release has been making the social media rounds of late. Congratulations On Your Purchase is a, I hesitate to say ‘game,’ but a product, released at the end of May, that costs $1,000 / £748. “You paid for this. Not accidentally. Not on impulse. You saw the price. You read the description….
Even though Diablo 4 is much harder this season, a clever player has proven that you can get surprisingly far without using a single attack. I wouldn’t quite call it a pacifist run because it involves an entire army of wolves chewing through monsters, but it’s as close as you can get to a build…
A new issue of Famitsu also has a new column from Sakurai. Sakurai dedicated a good chunk of the column to the first Fighter’s Pass that Super Smash Bros. Ultimate received, while addressing the criticism that was made in response to Byleth’s reveal. Sakurai reminded people that Nintendo had picked the characters, and that they…
Announced last year, Sonic Racing CrossWorlds is the latest in Sega’s ongoing kart racing series starring Tails. At Sony’s State of Play presentation today, we saw some gameplay footage along with the news that a network test will kick off on February 21. As someone who loved Sonic All-Star Racing Transformed, I’m enthused by what…
At a GDC talk today, Overwatch game director Aaron Keller said that Marvel Rivals has “definitely had an impact” on the Overwatch team. Keller recalls seeing the excitement around Rivals, which launched with over 30 heroes in 2025 (and is now at 47), and thinking, “Hey, what if we could just drop 30 new heroes…
Director Paul W. S. Anderson didn’t pioneer the videogame movie adaptation, but in the bad old days he was one of the very few to make decent (and commercially successful) movies out of adapting our blessed medium. I’m not going to say that stuff like Mortal Kombat (1995) or Resident Evil (2002) are high art,…
I have my own separate issues with the Steam marketplace and points shop, but I can’t lie: I love collecting themes that make my Steam profile look like a relic of the early 2000s. It’s not quite as satisfying as the complex Dragon Ball Z profiles I styled back in the day on Neopets or…
Go on, tell us. Camelot’s new game Mario Tennis Fever is out this week, and now that the reviews are in, we’re wondering if you’re planning on taking to the court. If you haven’t already seen our review here on Nintendo Life, we’ve given this new entry a score of eight out of ten. While…
Last year I made a quiz all about recognizing a game logo from just a single letter—and yes, I did all 26 letters of the alphabet. While I was laboriously putting that quiz together I noticed something interesting: a lot of games use a very stylized letter A in their logo. There are several logos…
