Super Mario World is a classic of gaming. The launch title of the Super Famicom, the vibrant sprites and slick control were next generation in every sense of the word when it premiered in Japan in 1990, slowly migrating to other regions over the next two years. Gamers have debated ever since whether in terms…
If you’ve got a name like Dimensius, the Void Lord, you probably don’t like the fact that everyone remembers you as a pretty normal-sized quest boss during World of Warcraft’s 2007 Burning Crusade expansion. You’d want to change that, earn that title of Void Lord, and make them fear you. At about 3,806 feet tall,…

I was working the gas pumps one day, many years ago, when a guy rolled in and said, “Fill ‘er up.” So I said “Okay,” and filled ‘er up. I found out later that the car in question—a Mercedes, I think—required diesel fuel, and I had filled it full of unleaded. That was a bad…

Orcs and trolls galore. In today’s world of expiring rights deals and IP constantly changing hands, it’s an unfortunate reality that many licensed games are doomed to forever languish in the gaming world of yesteryear. That’s what makes moments like the return of Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game or the remastered SpongeBob SquarePants:…
Baldur’s Gate 3 has become such a phenomenon since its release in August 2023 that, at least for me, it honestly feels a little difficult to remember a time when the internet didn’t vibrate with strong opinions about Astarion and Gale. But it’s true: the game is closing in on its third Christmas and, to…
Hello folks! I’m Ricardo Cesteiro, co-founder and producer at Camel 101. Some of you may recall hearing from me back in 2018 when I wrote my first blog post here, announcing Those Who Remain. Back then, our intention was to release the game later that year, but the complexity of the project grew and grew,…
I’m not the keeper of the grand “games with horses” spreadsheet but to whoever is: time to add Palia. The next expansion for the life sim MMO is adding one of those features players are always asking for in MMOs: mounts. Specifically: horses. I was expecting the stock-standard mounts implementation—a glorified ‘go faster’ button—but it…
