Keeping the Flame burning. A couple of years ago, a little puzzle game came to the Switch eShop called Dungeons of Dreadrock, which smartly mixed the vibe of 1980s first-person adventure games with simple puzzle mechanics.

But even when these patches arrive next year, is that really going…
Back to Route 1. Ever since Pokémon Legends: Z-A came out last year, a thought has been brewing that I haven’t been able to shake. It was amplified as I watched the EUIC battles in February, and then cropped up again as I sat, mouth agape, at the Winds and Waves trailer. After 30 years,…
Two years later… It was just over two years ago that Nvidia unveiled plans to build a futuristic campus located across the street from where it is now. The reason?
