Caroline Kwan is tired, but you can’t tell.

Remember The Day Before? If anything, the blandness of its name might have caused the clown-car series of scandals surrounding it last holiday season to fade from memory.

I think the first Dark Souls game quite literally saved me. Despite having tried my hand at it in the past, namely when the original iteration of it came out on consoles back in 2011, I’d never stuck around to see it through to the end, or even get past a few early bosses. However, in the middle of the summer of 2020,… Read more... View the full article
AB 2426, a newly passed piece of legislation in California signed into law earlier this week by governor Gavin Newsom, will force companies selling digital goods—like games—in the state to warn consumers that they don’t actually own that content, but instead are licensing it and could lose access to it in the future.

Pokémon Go has made a lot of big changes in the last month, to the degree that if you’ve not logged in for a while, you’ll find yourself bemused by what look like new, pink Poké Stops, Dynamaxing Pokémon, and at long last, the starters from 2019's Pokémon Sword and Shield. Continuing this trend of finally catching up… Read more... View the full article
Warhammer 4o,000: Space Marine 2 is full of high points, but one of the lowest comes very early on. The end of the Operation I: Skyfire mission has you defending artillery cannons against swarms of Gargoyles, and it can be a real pain in the ****. The sci-fi shooter’s latest update should change that. Read more... View the full article
Horror TV series From, even as it enters its third season, is wildly unknown. It doesn’t help that this show that no one’s heard of—that shares writers, directors and a lot of influence with Lost—is on a streaming network that no one’s heard of. Literally everyone I’ve recommended watch this terrifying show didn’t… Read more... View the full article
On September 25, BioWare revealed the choices that will carry over from previous Dragon Age RPGs in the upcoming fourth game, Dragon Age: The Veilguard.

Trying to describe Echo Point Nova, a newly released PC shooter, is a tricky thing. I could describe it as a game that mixes Titanfall’s movement, modern *****’s gunplay, Minecraft’s destructibility, Skyward Sword’s floating islands, and wicked rad hoverboarding into one oddball package—though that probably just makes… Read more...

Movies often portray robots as the harbingers of something bad, whether they’re evil and want to take over the world (Terminator, I, ******, The Matrix, etc.) or are being exploited by humans (Blade Runner, Ex Machina, A.I. Artificial Intelligence, etc.). But robots aren’t all bad—they can be fun, cute, and… Read more... View the full article
We got a second trailer for HBO’s The Last of Us’ upcoming season, which airs in 2025, today. So far, season two looks like a pretty faithful adaptation of The Last of Us Part II.

Metaphor: ReFantazio makes no qualms about scaring you in its early game. You can’t handle the fierce monsters in the opening area, the first boss will nearly ***** you, and that Captain Klinger guy…okay, maybe he’s not that scary.
