I’m a comic book nut, but I stay away from Marvel Rivals to keep my blood pressure in check. I do love the radical, supremely over-the-top character designs that NetEase landed on for Marvel’s coterie of costumed heroes, though. You might be surprised to learn that the game used to be even more stylized—so much…
No, not that one. Pokémon is celebrating 30 years this year, and as part of this, trainers around the globe can expect all sorts of exciting (and surprising) announcements. Ahead of the annual event Pokémon Day, taking place later this month on 27th February 2026, Stern Pinball has announced it will be stepping into the…
Cap’s off. Diddy Kong has been strangely missing in action from much of Nintendo’s marketing, particularly around the Switch 2. At least he was there when Donkey Kong Country Returns HD came out in January…? Anyway, the big question on everyone’s lips when Donkey Kong was shown off in Mario Kart World back in January,…
‘Alternate Scarlet Symphony’ is out now. If you’re someone who knows the layout of the PlayStation 1 title Castlevania: Symphony of the Night like the back of your hand and is looking for a new challenge, then you may be interested to learn about Alternate Scarlet Symphony.

We’re starting to see notebooks with panels that support Nvidia’s G-Sync technology, faster storage options (M.2 SATA, for example), and coming soon, true desktop class GPUs. As it stands right now, the fastest mobile GPU available from Nvidia is…
After a decade of uploads, Skyrim Grandma Shirley Curry is stepping back from the adventurers’ life. In a new video, Curry—who’s amassed over a million followers and gotten her own character in The Elder Scrolls 6 (whenever that happens)—said she’s just grown tired of it all, and “I am no longer going to be uploading…
Let me use this introductory paragraph to make two horrible confessions. The first: I am one of perhaps several people worldwide who use Microsoft Edge as my default personal browser. Second: My use of Edge means I sometimes accidentally use Bing, Microsoft’s Google-but-worse, whenever I search for something in the URL bar. I could go…
Down, boy. Ahead of a planned release later this year, Shift Up has provided a fresh look at Stellar Blade: Complete Edition on the Switch 2. The trailer itself is age-restricted, but go ahead and hop on over to YouTube to view it. Showcasing some kick-ass gameplay, the visuals on Nintendo’s console look pretty great…
Fire Emblem, disengage. I’m always suspicious, a little tiny bit at least, of games that I play on my mobile phone. Not because I’m somehow wise to something about the platform others aren’t, but more because I’m old and remember the long and arduous ‘Trash Years’ (as I like to call them) of terrible, terrible…
