  1. This was a really weird year for Xbox. You could argue that Microsoft’s gaming brand had an amazing year or that it had one of its worst, and either way I’d likely find myself nodding in agreement to most of your points. Read more... View the full article
  2. The PlayStation 5 has entered the latter stage of its lifecycle, Sony announced back in February.

  3. Wow! Another year down. It feels like 2024 went by in a flash, and also feels like I spent half my life slowly trudging through this mostly awful year filled with a lot of bad news. Read more... View the full article
  4. In a lot of ways, 2024 was a worse year for the video game industry than 2023. And that’s really depressing to think about considering how bad 2023 was for game developers and the media covering the industry. Still, even a shitty year can have nice moments and wonderful surprises. Read more... View the full article
  5. It took six episodes, dozens of burning bodies, some Spice snorting, and too many betrayals to count, but Dune: Prophecy’sfirst season has finally come to an end. And, as did much of the first season, the finale is already creating possibilities that’ll have ramifications in the next season as well as the next Dune mo… Read more... View the full article

  7. Originating from folklore and legends across different cultures and centuries, the supernatural creatures with a lust for blood and a fear of garlic and crucifixes have become some of the most iconic figures in horror and popular culture. And some of the most popular. The Twilight film series alone grossed over $3… Read more... View the full article
  8. Last year’s remake of Dead Spaceproved a critical hit, reviving the beloved space horror series after it had been left fallow for ten years. However, despite being January 2023's second-biggest selling game (behind Modern Warfare II), this seemingly wasn’t enough success to satisfy EA, and it was reported in April of… Read more...

  9. Trying to sum up 2024 in video games in an entirely celebratory way would feel somewhat dishonest. In recent years, our efforts to recognize the best video games of the past 12 months always come with a caveat: Yes, great games undeniably come out, but things are bad for the industry. The world makes another trip… Read more... View the full article

  13. With Sonic the Hedgehog 3, the live-action adaptation of *****’s speedy platformer is entering a new era. With each subsequent movie, the Sonic films have sought to shed the generic “family” movie image for one that was more honest to the anime-inspired twists and turns of the long-running platformer series. And this… Read more... View the full article
  14. Well, here’s something I wasn’t expecting to see: Valve has finally revealed what Team Fortress 2's Spy looks like under his mask. And it turns out he looks pretty dang handsome! Read more... View the full article
  15. The line between success and failure can get blurred under a deluge of criticism, especially when it starts affecting your real life.

  16. If you’re a Support player in a shooters like Overwatch 2, you’re probably on the hunt for the best Strategist in Marvel Rivals.

At launch, there… Read more... View the full article
  17. It’s hard to say what’s more of a bummer, folks. Was it the dark days where every single big blockbuster movie got a shitty tie-in video game crunched out by some poor dev team in six months to launch alongside the film?

  19. Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is out in theaters now, and like the first two films, it has a post-credits stinger that gives us an idea of what’s to come in the next movie, which, it seems, is coming in 2027. However, Sonic 3’s isn’t quite as self-explanatory as those in the first two movies if you’re not already familiar with… Read more... View the full article
  20. Sony’s PlayStation Portal began its life with a lot of limitations and skepticism.

It still isn’t a perfect device,… Read more... View the full article
  21. Remember NFTs? They were this hilariously stupid and obvious scam from 2021, where people—and you’ll laugh—sold the “rights” to jpegs! Yeah, I know, those things you can right-click and make an infinite number of. So silly. Anyway, three years after that all collapsed, Ubisoft has launched a game featuring the grift. Read more...

  22. There are more amazing games coming out every week than ever before. Some of them instantly become breakout hits. Others slowly accrue cult status over months and years.
