It’s more than Fortnite though. Hell, it’s more than *gaming.* Read more

So, there’s this scene in The Two Towers where the orcs begin murdering each other over whether to eat the Hobbits alive or bring them to Saruman, who will torture them to death. Read more

Christ, Microsoft, just rename your ninth-gen hardware the Xbox Sad Trombone and call it a day.

The marketing, or more specifically, Microsoft’s marketing. Microsoft is talking up the power of the Xbox Series X, which is entirely understandable. But doing so sets a standard, and let’s be honest, the gameplay trailer they showed some weeks back was pretty clearly made while the game was very much a work in… Read more

It would be nice someday if Disney gave us a Pirates of Caribbean that featured a lead that was Caribbean, ie representing the polyglot multiracial nature of the region. As someone with a West Indian heritage that was something always notably absent from the franchise. I’m sure the supporting casts will be diverse… Read more

I think there’s a huge amount of truth to the “map game” concept here, and it goes some way to explaining why I so rarely complete these vast open world games that I initially fall in love with.

Death Stranding is both one of the most relaxing games and one of the most stressful games of the year. Sometimes I’m just hiking through the snow, ready to go sledding in the post apocalypse with my lil BB, and then BAM snowstorm and I’m tensed the hell up, dodging invisible killer ghosts and trying not to be… Read more

But purchasing third party exclusives isn’t innovation, it’s just the dude with the financial might gobbling up the market, which is essentially how monopolies work — and monopolies… Read more

Having never played any Pokemon game, I read this article and made a note to give Gold a try. Seventy-five (!) play-hours later, I knocked off the Elite Four on the first try with Feraligatr, Ampheros, Graveler, Machamp, Bellossom, and Jynx. It's a really fun and super deep game.
