Former Sega producer reveals “funny” Mario & Sonic demand. Developers who have worked with Nintendo’s intellectual properties have often shared stories about odd requests and demands from the video game giant. With this in mind, the latest story to surface comes from former Sega of Japan producer, Ryoichi Hasegawa. During a chat with Arcade Attack…
A new ingredient has appeared in the tray. I click to see what it is, forgetting that’ll send it out onto the preparation mat. Instead of combining it with other ingredients to make a dish, I panic and click on the mat instead, which rolls up then unfurls to send a failed dish onto my…
Two years ago, Wizards of the Coast released a Fallout-themed Magic expansion, and it was good. (I went bad karma and played a Caesar deck. Don’t judge me.) While it included characters and events from across the games, it came out a month before the well-loved TV series began and so didn’t feature any of…
Sometimes in Skyrim you wander into a hole in the ground, fight some draugr, defeat a dragon priest, collect a shout, and leave via an exit that conveniently loops you back to where you came in. Sometimes you end up in a gloaming fungal underworld and only emerge hours later barely remembering what the surface…
Hytale is finally playable after a legendary run through development hell, and it’s doing pretty well for itself, considering. It’s made a pretty penny already, enough to fund two years of further development, and crucially, it’s actually good.

No Rest for the Wicked might just look like a painterly take on Diablo, but it’s actually a top-down soulslike—and a pretty good one at that, according to PC Gamer contributing writer Tyler Colp. It seems to be paying off, as developer Moon Studios announced Thursday that the game has moved one million copies on…

Terminally Online (Image credit: Future) This is Terminally Online: PC Gamer’s very own MMO column. Every other week, I’ll be sharing my thoughts on the genre, interviewing fellow MMO-heads like me, taking a deep-dive into mechanics we’ve all taken for granted, and, occasionally, bringing in guest writers to talk about their MMO of choice. MMORPGs…
I’ll be honest, I didn’t really think the live action Legend of Zelda movie would ever release when it was first announced in 2023. I become more convinced I was wrong with each passing day, as not only have they started casting folks for the rumored trilogy, but streaming giant Netflix has successfully negotiated for…
